The Avocado Green Mattress is GOTS certified organic at the finished-product level, uses GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, and holds five additional finished-product nontoxic certifications. The Nectar® Mattress is a memory foam mattress built primarily from polyurethane foam layers; it does not hold a finished-product organic certification.

The Nectar Mattress is available in a single firmness option.

GOTS — the Global Organic Textile Standard — certifies the finished mattress, not individual components. It 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 Green Mattress holds a publicly verifiable GOTS finished-product license (CU863637), searchable at global-standard.org. The Nectar Mattress does not hold a finished-product organic certification.

CertiPUR-US® — referenced for Nectar's foam — is a program administered by a foam industry trade group that evaluates polyurethane foam against emissions and content criteria. It applies to the foam material, not to the finished mattress, and it certifies polyurethane foam — not its absence.

Avocado mattresses are simultaneously certified against five finished-product nontoxic standards that the Nectar Mattress does not hold: OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I screens against harmful substances at the most restrictive classification. 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. GREENGUARD Gold certifies against indoor air quality emission limits. UL® Formaldehyde-Free independently verifies the absence of added formaldehyde.

The Avocado Green 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. The ticking is GOTS-certified organic cotton across most models. Coil counts go up to 1,379 fabric-encased coils across multiple firmness zones, with hand needle-tufting securing the comfort layers without chemical adhesives.

The Nectar® Mattress is an all-foam construction: a memory foam comfort layer over polyurethane foam transition and base layers, with a polyester cover. There are no coils, no natural latex, and no organic content at the finished-product level.

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.

Nectar has not published comparable PFAS test results.

For shoppers seeking Avocado's certification position at a lower price point, the Avocado Eco Organic Mattress is Avocado's most affordable certified-organic option, with the same finished-product GOTS license (CU863637) and the same finished-product nontoxic certification stack.

No. The Nectar Mattress does not hold a finished-product organic certification. It is an all-foam mattress built from memory foam and polyurethane foam; it contains no natural latex, organic wool, or organic cotton at material levels comparable to a certified-organic latex hybrid.

Yes. The Nectar Mattress is built primarily from polyurethane and memory foam. The Avocado Green Mattress does not contain polyurethane foam; it uses GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex in place of foam.

CertiPUR-US is a program administered by a foam industry trade group. It evaluates polyurethane foam against emissions and content criteria. It applies only to polyurethane foam — not to the finished mattress, and not to materials like organic latex, wool, or cotton. CertiPUR-US certifies that polyurethane foam meets certain limits; it does not certify the absence of polyurethane foam, organic content, or supply-chain practices.

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 Green Mattress is EWG Verified®; the Nectar Mattress is not. For a full explanation, see What EWG Verified Means on a Mattress.

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

Five: Extra Firm, Firm, Medium, Plush (Euro-top), and Ultra Plush (box-top). The Nectar Mattress is available in a single firmness option.

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.
