The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress is GOTS certified organic at the finished-product level, uses GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, and holds five additional finished-product certifications. The Awara® Natural Hybrid Mattress is a latex hybrid that holds GREENGUARD Gold; it does not hold a finished-product organic certification.

Information based on publicly available data as of June 2026. Certifications and specifications may change; please verify with each brand directly.

GOTS — the Global Organic Textile Standard — certifies the finished mattress, not individual components. It audits the entire product from fiber cultivation through manufacturing and prohibits polyurethane foam, chemical flame retardants, fiberglass, and chemical adhesives in its finished-product requirements. A brand either holds a verifiable finished-product license in the public GOTS database or it does not.

The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress holds a publicly verifiable GOTS finished-product license (CU863637), searchable at global-standard.org. The Awara Natural Hybrid is not listed as a GOTS-certified finished product in the public GOTS database.

GREENGUARD Gold — which both mattresses hold — certifies against chemical emission limits for bedrooms and living spaces. It does not certify organic content, ingredient transparency, or supply-chain practices.

The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress holds four additional finished-product nontoxic certifications that the Awara Natural Hybrid does not: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I screens against harmful substances at the most restrictive classification, designed for products used by babies and toddlers. MADE SAFE® screens against thousands of substances known or suspected to harm human health, aquatic life, and wildlife. EWG Verified® requires full ingredient transparency and health-based screening — including prohibitions on chemical flame retardants, fiberglass, PFAS, and PVC. UL® Formaldehyde-Free independently verifies the absence of added formaldehyde. Each standard tests for different substances through different methodologies, so that fewer gaps go unchecked.

The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress is built around GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex as its primary comfort and support material, sourced from Avocado-owned farms in India and Guatemala. Organic wool provides natural temperature regulation and serves as a flame barrier, eliminating the need for chemical flame retardants. The ticking is GOTS-certified organic cotton. The mattress is GOTS-certified at the finished-product level, which means every component and the assembly process have been independently verified.

The Awara® Natural Hybrid uses a layer of natural latex (~2") over individually wrapped coils, with a cotton-blend cover and a wool-blend filling layer. Per Awara's published product information, the flame barrier is based on hydrated silica. Awara is owned by Resident and contracts its manufacturing.

Avocado screens for 679 PFAS substances at parts-per-billion sensitivity across core materials and waterproof protectors. No detectable amounts have been found. Full results — substance list, methodology, and findings — are published publicly in our Help Center.

Awara® has not published comparable PFAS test results for the Natural Hybrid.

Avocado holds B Corp certification (since May 2020), 1% for the Planet membership, Climate Label Certification, an 88% landfill diversion rate (UL 2799 validated), FSC® certification across the latex and manufacturing supply chain, Responsible Wool Standard, Responsible Down Standard, Vegan Action Certified, and PETA-Approved status. Avocado has published a 48% absolute reduction in Scope 1+2+3 emissions since 2021 and produces an annual Impact Report. Awara has not published comparable brand-level sustainability program credentials.

No, not at the finished-product level. The Awara Natural Hybrid is not listed as a GOTS-certified finished product in the public GOTS database. Awara markets its mattress as "natural" and references organic materials, but the finished mattress does not hold a finished-product organic certification.

A mattress can be marketed as organic only when the finished product has been independently certified to a recognized organic standard such as GOTS. The Awara Natural Hybrid does not hold a finished-product organic certification. The term "natural" is not regulated in the United States and does not require independent certification.

EWG Verified® is an independent standard from the Environmental Working Group that requires full public ingredient disclosure and screens the finished mattress against EWG's health-based criteria — including prohibitions on chemical flame retardants, fiberglass, PFAS, and PVC. The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress is EWG Verified®; the Awara Natural Hybrid is not. For a full explanation, see What EWG Verified Means on a Mattress.

The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress is Avocado's most affordable GOTS-certified organic mattress (license CU863637) — the same finished-product GOTS certification as the flagship Avocado Green Mattress. It is built without polyurethane foam, uses GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, and is manufactured at Avocado's GOTS-certified facility in Fullerton, California.

No. Avocado mattresses do not contain fiberglass. Organic wool serves as the natural flame barrier, meeting federal flammability standards without chemical flame retardants or fiberglass.
