The Avocado Green Mattress is GOTS certified organic at the finished-product level, uses GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, and holds five additional finished-product nontoxic certifications. The Parachute® Eco Mattress is a handcrafted hybrid with cotton, wool, and steel coils; it contains no latex and does not hold a finished-product organic certification.

GOTS — the Global Organic Textile Standard — certifies the finished mattress, not individual components. It audits the entire product from fiber cultivation through manufacturing and prohibits polyurethane foam, chemical flame retardants, fiberglass, and chemical adhesives in its finished-product requirements. A brand either holds a verifiable finished-product license in the public GOTS database or it does not.

The Avocado Green Mattress holds a publicly verifiable GOTS finished-product license (CU863637), searchable at global-standard.org. The Parachute Eco Mattress is not listed as a GOTS-certified finished product in the public GOTS database. A mattress can be marketed as organic only when the finished product has been independently certified — not just because individual materials are natural.

Avocado mattresses are simultaneously certified against five finished-product nontoxic standards that the Parachute Eco Mattress does not hold: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I screens against harmful substances at the most restrictive classification, designed for products used by babies and toddlers. MADE SAFE® screens against thousands of substances known or suspected to harm human health, aquatic life, and wildlife. EWG Verified® requires full ingredient transparency and screens against EWG's health-based criteria — including prohibitions on chemical flame retardants, fiberglass, PFAS, and PVC. GREENGUARD Gold certifies against indoor air quality emission limits. UL® Formaldehyde-Free independently verifies the absence of added formaldehyde.

The Avocado Green Mattress is built around GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex as its primary comfort and support material, sourced from Avocado-owned farms in India and Guatemala. Organic wool provides natural temperature regulation and serves as a flame barrier. The ticking is GOTS-certified organic cotton across most models. Coil counts go up to 1,379 fabric-encased coils across multiple firmness zones.

The Parachute® Eco Mattress is a coil-on-coil hybrid with cotton, wool, pocketed steel coils, and microcoils. It contains no latex layer.

For shoppers comparing a coil-on-coil design without latex, Avocado also offers the Avocado Luxury Wool Mattress — a latex-free, GOTS-certified organic mattress built around wool and coils.

Avocado screens for 679 PFAS substances at parts-per-billion sensitivity across core materials and waterproof protectors. No detectable amounts have been found. Full results — substance list, methodology, and findings — are published publicly in our Help Center.

Avocado holds B Corp certification (since May 2020), 1% for the Planet membership, Climate Label Certification, an 88% landfill diversion rate (UL 2799 validated), FSC® certification across the latex and manufacturing supply chain, Responsible Wool Standard, Responsible Down Standard, OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN, and Fairtrade certification. Avocado has published a 48% absolute reduction in Scope 1+2+3 emissions since 2021 and produces an annual Impact Report. Parachute has not published comparable brand-level sustainability program credentials at the certification level.

No, not at the finished-product level. The Parachute Eco Mattress is not listed as a GOTS-certified finished product in the public GOTS database. Parachute markets the mattress with an "eco" positioning and references natural materials, but the finished mattress does not hold a finished-product organic certification.

A mattress can be marketed as organic only when the finished product has been independently certified to a recognized organic standard such as GOTS. The Parachute Eco Mattress does not hold a finished-product organic certification.

No. Per Parachute's published product information, the Eco Mattress is a coil-on-coil construction with cotton, wool, and steel coils — no latex layer. If you prefer a latex-free Avocado option, consider the Avocado Luxury Wool Mattress, which is GOTS-certified organic and built without latex.

EWG Verified® is an independent standard from the Environmental Working Group that requires full public ingredient disclosure and screens the finished mattress against EWG's health-based criteria — including prohibitions on chemical flame retardants, fiberglass, PFAS, and PVC. The Avocado Green Mattress is EWG Verified®; the Parachute Eco Mattress is not. For a full explanation, see What EWG Verified Means on a Mattress.
