Birch Mattress Review vs. Avocado Green Mattress

Materials: GOLS-certified Dunlop latex, organic wool (or cotton for the Vegan model), and GOTS-certified organic cotton. The Box-Top model adds premium FSC® certified Pure Talalay® latex.

Certifications: EWG Verified®, Made Safe®, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, GOTS, and Greenguard Gold on the finished mattress. Materials tested for PFAS "forever chemicals" with published test results.

Materials: Organic cotton, "natural" (non-organic) latex, and organic wool.

Certifications: Greenguard Gold and GOTS certification, but Birch does not offer GOLS organic latex (the primary material in an organic mattress) or important third-party certifications for the finished product's health and safety.

Comfort Models: Offers three models: Standard, Pillow-Top, and Box-Top with luxurious Pure Talalay® latex for added plushness and buoyancy.

Latex Thickness: Between 3 to 6 inches, providing superior pressure relief and comfort options.

Coils & Support: Features up to 1,379 individually wrapped coils and 7 ergonomic zones for targeted support and pressure relief, especially for heavier sleepers or those needing firmer spinal support.

Durability: Hand-tufted with up to 24 tufts (King), no glues bind the layers, promoting health and longer-lasting durability. To emphasize the difference in quality in a small yet telling way, Avocado’s logo is embroidered—unlike Birch’s, which uses an iron-on sticker.

Comfort Models: Two models: Standard and Pillow-Top.

Latex Thickness: Only 2 inches of non-organic latex — up to 66% less than Avocado! The Birch Natural and Luxe Natural mattresses offer the same 2 inches of latex despite the cost difference between the models.

Coils & Support: Uses fewer than 1,000 coils and only two reinforced edges, which provides less overall support and pressure relief compared to Avocado’s premium zoned design.

Durability: No tufting, which may affect long-term performance and durability.

Avocado Green Standard: $1,999 (full price) / $1,799 (sale price) / $1,699 (starting 10/22/24). Avocado offers 0% APR financing programs.

Birch Natural: $1,874 (full price) / $1,499 (sale price).

Value: While Birch may have a lower sale price, Avocado's Green Mattress offers 66% more latex, 25% more coils, hand-tufting, a sleep trial that is 4x longer, and far more certifications for health, safety, and sustainability.

Price: If you want a trusted, certified organic mattress that costs less than Birch, opt for the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress at $1299 (full price).
