Avocado's coils are made from heat-tempered, stress-relieved recycled steel, built to hold their shape and firmness for the life of the mattress. That durability is why Avocado's organic mattresses are backed by a limited warranty of up to 25 years, and it is a core part of what makes them sustainable: the longer a mattress lasts, the fewer end up in a landfill.
Key Takeaways: Avocado's coils are heat-tempered, stress-relieved recycled steel, built to hold their shape for the life of the mattress. Each coil is individually pocketed, so load is carried coil by coil, and the surface wears evenly instead of forming body impressions. Rotating head-to-foot regularly (monthly for the first six months, then every other month) extends coil life. The Green, Vegan, and Luxury carry a 25-year limited warranty, with the first ten years non-prorated.
Why the Coils Hold Their Shape
A coil is only as good as how it is made. During manufacturing, every Avocado coil is formed, heat-tempered, and stress-relieved to resist softening and sagging over years of use. Because Avocado designs and builds its own coil units at its Tecate facility rather than buying them from a supplier, the temper, gauge, and height of each coil are controlled in-house.
Each coil is also individually encased in its own fabric pocket, so it moves and bears load independently. Unlike a connected coil grid, where stress concentrates and travels across the unit, individually encased coils distribute the load coil by coil, reducing the uneven wear that leads to body impressions.
Rotating Extends Coil Life
Because the head and foot zones of the seven-zone unit are identical, the mattress is designed to be rotated head-to-foot regularly. Rotating spreads use evenly across the comfort zones so the surface wears uniformly rather than developing a dip where you sleep most. Avocado's warranty asks that you rotate the mattress head-to-foot once a month for the first six months, then every other month after that. See Do I Need to Flip or Rotate My Mattress?
Durable by Design Is Sustainable by Design
Durability is a sustainability measure, not only a comfort one. A mattress that lasts longer means fewer replacements over a lifetime, and fewer units sent to landfill. Steel is also one of the most recyclable materials there is, so where mattress recycling is available, the coils can be recovered and recycled at the end of a long service life.
Warranty and When to Replace
Avocado's organic mattresses, including the Green, Vegan, and Luxury, carry a 25-year limited warranty. The first ten years are non-prorated, which means a covered defect is repaired or replaced at no cost to you. Years 11 through 25 are prorated, with the cost share increasing over time. Coverage varies by product (the Eco Organic Mattress, for example, carries a 10-year warranty), so see What Is Avocado's Warranty? for the full terms by model. For the signs that any mattress has reached the end of its useful life, see When Should You Replace Your Mattress?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Avocado's coils sag over time?
They are engineered not to. Each coil is heat-tempered and stress-relieved so it holds its shape and firmness, and each is individually encased so load is distributed coil by coil rather than concentrated. Rotating the mattress regularly helps the surface wear evenly.
How long do the coils last?
The coils are built to hold their shape for the life of the mattress. Avocado's organic mattresses (Green, Vegan, and Luxury) carry a 25-year limited warranty, with the first ten years non-prorated. Actual lifespan depends on proper support underneath the mattress and regular rotation.
What can I do to make my mattress last longer?
Use a firm, flat, well-supported base (never a box spring or the floor), and rotate the mattress head-to-foot regularly. See How to Properly Support Your Mattress.
Are the coils recyclable?
Steel is one of the most recyclable materials there is. Where mattress recycling is available, the steel coils can be recovered and recycled at the end of the mattress's life.
