Why Choose an EWG Verified® Mattress: Health, Safety, and Full Transparency

EWG Verified® is one of the most rigorous independent safety standards available for mattresses. To earn the mark, a brand must publicly disclose every material in the finished product and pass screening against the Environmental Working Group's health-based criteria — including prohibitions on chemical flame retardants, fiberglass, PFAS, and PVC.

Every Avocado mattress holds EWG Verified® certification, alongside GOTS, OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class I on the finished mattress, MADE SAFE®, GREENGUARD Gold, and UL Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verification. The organic latex inside is separately GOLS-certified.

For a full explanation of what EWG Verified® evaluates, what it prohibits, and how it differs from other mattress certifications, see What EWG Verified Means on a Mattress.

You can verify Avocado's EWG Verified® status directly in EWG's publicly searchable Skin Deep® database at ewg.org/skindeep/browse/category/Mattresses.
