Avocado mattresses use quilted panel construction — not chemical adhesives — to secure organic wool and cotton in place throughout the mattress's life. Each panel is individually quilted with a design specific to its location and function within the mattress, ensuring materials stay evenly distributed across every surface without synthetic bonding agents.
No polyester, chemical flame retardants, or synthetic fire socks are used in any quilted panel.
Gusset Border
The side border panel that runs around the perimeter of the mattress.
GOTS-certified organic cotton canvas
GOTS-certified organic cotton gusset
GOTS-certified needle-punch wool
Bottom Panel
The underside panel is designed to prevent the mattress from sliding on its foundation.
GOTS-certified organic needle-punch wool
GOTS-certified organic cotton canvas in a herringbone weave — the weave pattern creates friction that prevents the mattress from shifting on its base
Side Panels — Quilted Panel Construction
The comfort panels on the top and sides of the mattress.
GOTS-certified organic cotton
GOTS-approved 20 GSM chlorine-free polypropylene non-woven fabric, used to hold the cotton layers together during quilting
A note on polypropylene: This thin non-woven layer is a petroleum-derived functional component — not an organic material. It is permitted under GOTS certification as a functional accessory where no certified organic alternative currently meets the structural and durability requirements of the quilting process. It is food-grade and non-toxic. Organic fabric alternatives exist, but they currently introduce cost and performance tradeoffs that would affect both the accessibility of our core product line and the long-term durability that underpins our warranty.
Top Gusset Border — Plush and Ultra Plush Models
The gusset border panel is used in pillow-top and box-top configurations.
GOTS-approved 15 GSM chlorine-free polypropylene non-woven fabric, used to prevent the fabric panel from compressing during quilting
GOTS-certified organic needle-punch wool
GOTS-certified organic cotton ticking
