Certified to the Bedroom
This page introduces Avocado's 2025 Impact Report, our annual disclosure on how we verify our sustainability and health claims. It covers OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I certification of our finished products, GOTS certification at the finished-product level, PFAS testing, and a 48% absolute reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from our 2021 baseline through 2024.
The Avocado brand is marking its 10-year milestone, while the company has been handcrafting mattresses since 1987. The figures and programs described reflect 2025 and represent our most current disclosures. Climate figures are for 2024, the most recent year independently verified. Since our last report, we expanded our organic wool sourcing into Uttarakhand, India, where flocks are in conversion under the Canada Organic Regime, and maintained our commitments as a B Corp and a 1% for the Planet member.
What makes a mattress sustainable or eco-friendly?
“Sustainable,” “eco-friendly,” and “non-toxic” have no regulated definition for mattresses, and no agency certifies a mattress as any of them. A useful question to ask any brand, including us, is what it can verify and who checks it. These are the independently verified facts behind our 2025 report:
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certification at the finished-product level, certificate CU 863637
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class I, certificate 24.HUS.86422. Class I is the category designed for products used by babies and toddlers.
A 48% absolute reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 2021 to 2024, with 2024 data independently verified under Climate Label Certification
88% landfill diversion in 2025, validated by UL Solutions under UL 2799
1% for the Planet member since 2017, with more than $12 million directed to more than 60 environmental nonprofit partners
A 2019 lifecycle assessment by Trayak LLC found one Avocado mattress produces about 47% less CO2e over 25 years than the 2.5 conventional hybrid mattresses it would replace
How does Avocado test for toxic chemicals?
Avocado mattresses are made without polyurethane foam, memory foam, fiberglass, PVC or vinyl, chemical flame retardants, or chemical adhesives between comfort layers. Our finished mattresses are certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I, MADE SAFE®, EWG Verified®, and GREENGUARD Gold, and UL validates them as formaldehyde-free. Each standard tests or screens for different substances, so together they leave fewer gaps than any one alone. We also test core materials for PFAS and publish the full results.
