Two Finished-Product GOTS Mattresses — Where They Differ

My Green Mattress is a family-owned manufacturer based in LaGrange, Illinois, and is one of the relatively small number of mattress brands holding a finished-product GOTS certification. Both the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress and the Natural Escape build around GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex with organic wool and organic cotton — a similar foundational construction.

The differences are in certification depth, independent testing transparency, supply-chain ownership, and brand-level sustainability programs.

For shoppers comparing against Avocado's flagship model, the Avocado Green Mattress offers a deeper coil system (up to 1,379 fabric-encased coils), needle-tufted construction, five firmness options, a 365-night trial, and a 25-year limited warranty.


Certification Depth: Beyond Finished-Product GOTS

Finished-product GOTS is the foundational organic certification — both mattresses hold it. The question of additional certifications is about what other independent standards have tested the finished product.

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I is the strictest OEKO-TEX tier, designed for products used by babies and toddlers. The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress is certified to Class I at the finished-product level. The Natural Escape holds OEKO-TEX certification on its latex layer per public records, not as a finished-product certification.

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 screens against EWG's health-based criteria — including prohibitions on chemical flame retardants, fiberglass, PFAS, and PVC. UL® Formaldehyde-Free independently verifies the absence of added formaldehyde. The Avocado Eco Organic Mattress holds all three; the Natural Escape does not list these certifications publicly.


PFAS Testing

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 are published publicly in our Help Center.

My Green Mattress has not published comparable PFAS test results for the Natural Escape.


Supply Chain Ownership

Avocado owns its GOTS-certified manufacturing facility in Fullerton, California, and owns the farms in India and Guatemala that supply its GOLS-certified organic latex and the farm in India that supplies its GOTS-certified organic wool. My Green Mattress manufactures in LaGrange, Illinois, and sources its certified-organic materials from third-party suppliers.


Brand-Level Sustainability Programs

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, OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN, and Fairtrade certification. Avocado has published a 48% absolute reduction in Scope 1+2+3 emissions since 2021 and produces an annual Impact Report. My Green Mattress is a 1% for the Planet member but has not published comparable brand-level sustainability program credentials.


Frequently Asked Questions

Is the My Green Mattress Natural Escape GOTS certified?

Yes, per public records. Both the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress (license CU863637) and the Natural Escape hold finished-product GOTS certification.

If both are GOTS certified, what's the actual difference?

GOTS is the foundational organic certification at the finished-product level; both hold it. The differences lie in additional independent certifications (OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I, MADE SAFE®, EWG Verified®, UL® Formaldehyde-Free), published PFAS testing transparency, brand-level sustainability programs (B Corp, Climate Label), and supply-chain ownership.

What's the difference between the Avocado Eco Organic and the Avocado Green Mattress?

Both share the same finished-product GOTS license (CU863637) and the same nontoxic certification stack. The Avocado Green Mattress uses up to 1,379 fabric-encased coils, offers five firmness options, comes with a 365-night sleep trial, and carries a 25-year limited warranty. The Avocado Eco Organic is Avocado's most affordable certified-organic option, with a 100-night trial and a 10-year limited warranty.

What is EWG Verified® and why does it matter?

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 My Green Mattress Natural Escape is not listed. For a full explanation, see What EWG Verified Means on a Mattress.

Can I verify Avocado's GOTS certification?

Yes. Avocado's GOTS license (CU863637) is publicly searchable in the GOTS certification database at global-standard.org.

Does Avocado test for PFAS?

Yes. Avocado screens for 679 PFAS substances at parts-per-billion sensitivity across core materials and waterproof protectors. No detectable amounts have been found.

Does the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress contain fiberglass?

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.
