A Nectar® mattress is nothing like an Avocado Organic Mattress. Nectar® mattresses are made of petroleum-based polyurethane foams.

In contrast, Avocado mattresses are made in Los Angeles, California, with organic latex and wool sourced from our farms and facilities in Guatemala and India. Avocado is a GOTS-certified organic product with an extensive sustainability and social responsibility certifications list. Better still, Avocado is also one of the highest-rated mattresses in America.
