Important Differences Between the Avocado Green Mattress and Parachute Eco Mattress

Both the Avocado Green Mattress and Parachute’s Eco Mattress are handcrafted, hybrid designs with signature needle-tufting. But when you look deeper, these two mattresses diverge sharply in terms of organic certification, material composition and construction, chemical safety, and sustainability practices.

Here’s a side-by-side comparison:

Construction

Parachute Eco Mattress

Core Materials

Organic Latex (3 - 6 total inches), Pure Talalay® latex (Box-Top), Organic Cotton, Organic Wool, Pocketed Steel Coils Made from Recycled Steel

Cotton, Wool, Pocketed Steel Coils & Microcoils (No Latex)

Key Takeaway: Avocado’s multi-layer organic latex system delivers buoyant support, breathability, and long-term durability. Parachute’s latex-free design offers a firmer feel but less pressure relief and resilience.

Organic

Parachute Eco Mattress

Organic Certifications
Full Product, Not Just Materials)

Finished-Product GOTS Organic Certification

No finished-product GOTS certification publicly listed (as of October 2025)

Health & Safety

Parachute Eco Mattress

Nontoxic Certifications (Full Product, Not Just Materials)

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, EWG VERIFIED®, MADE SAFE®, GREENGUARD® Gold, Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verification (UL), Published PFAS Test Results

None publicly listed (as of October 2025)

What This Means: Avocado’s entire finished product is tested and certified for health and safety to the highest third-party standards — not just select materials. Parachute’s Eco Mattress does not publish full-product safety data or independent, non-toxic certifications.

Sustainability

Parachute Eco Mattress

Sustainability & Social Responsibility (Brand Level Certifications)

Certified B Corporation (“Best for the World” Winner), 1% for the Planet (“Pinnacle Award” Winner), The Climate Label Certified (since 2019), Zero Waste Landfill Diversion Rating of 89%, FSC®, Responsible Wool Standard, Responsible Down Standard, Vegan Certified, PETA-Approved, Global Recycled Standard

No publicly verified brand-level sustainability programs listed

Why GOTS Certification Matters

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the world’s leading certification for organic textiles. It ensures that the entire finished mattress, not just select materials, meets strict standards for organic purity, responsible manufacturing, and environmental stewardship.

Without a finished-product GOTS certification, a mattress may use organic cotton or wool, but it cannot be independently verified or marketed as a certified organic mattress.

Design Philosophy: Transparency vs. Appearance

While Parachute’s Eco Mattress adopts an “eco-inspired” aesthetic through the use of natural materials and hand tufting, it does not include organic latex and lacks independent third-party certifications.

In contrast, Avocado’s Green Mattress is engineered from the ground up to prove its claims — with verifiable certifications, sustainable sourcing, and meticulous handcrafting in Los Angeles.

Avocado’s approach emphasizes transparency and traceability, not just aesthetics — combining modern luxury with genuine organic integrity.

Bottom Line

The Avocado Green Mattress is a fully certified organic hybrid that meets the highest global standards for non-toxicity, sustainability, and environmental accountability. Every component — from its organic cotton and wool to its organic latex and recycled steel coils — is rigorously tested to meet the highest purity and durability standards.

The Parachute Eco Mattress features natural materials and handcrafted details, but it lacks organic latex, finished-product GOTS certification to be considered organic, and independent verification of its “eco” claims.

If your priority is authentic sustainability, verified safety, and lasting comfort, Avocado’s transparency and craftsmanship make it the clear choice for those who expect more than appearances.

For a coil-on-coil design similar to Parachute’s Eco Mattress, consider the Avocado Wool Mattress — made without latex yet still Certified organic by GOTS.
