How Many Tufts Are in Each Mattress?

We hand-tuft our mattresses instead of using chemical adhesives to hold the layers together.

Many Avocado mattresses feature distinctive, soft needle-tufted rosettes made from pure white organic wool. Needle-tufting is a time-honored bedmaker's technique dating back to the 17th century. We bind the layers together by pulling fabric ribbons through the entire mattress — capped with soft wool rosettes — at up to 24 locations, without any chemical adhesives. It radically improves durability and structural integrity, and is a hallmark of quality craftsmanship. It's also one of the reasons our mattresses are backed by warranties of up to 25 years.

Most conventional mattresses are built around polyurethane foam layers bonded together with chemical adhesives. Those adhesives are a known source of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can off-gas into the air you breathe while you sleep. Hand-tufting eliminates that input entirely.

This is the number of tufts in each mattress:
