Avocado Green Mattress vs PlushBeds Botanical Bliss: Which organic bed suits your sleep?

If you're looking for a breathable, clean and non-toxic mattress, opting for natural, organic materials is key. And, two brands that incorporate these luxury, high-quality materials within their beds are Avocado and PlushBeds. Their flagship models, the Avocado Green mattress and the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss, are two of this year's best organic mattresses we've tried. But which is right for you?

When choosing the best mattress for your sleep needs, you should consider everything from your sleeping position and body type to the support you need. While both the Avocado and the PlushBeds use latex, they have very different feels. We've slept on and reviewed both, assessing their performance across areas like support, comfort, motion isolation, pressure relief and more.

Here, we'll be comparing how we found the two during testing as well as detailing who would suit each mattress best. And, right now both are discounted in mattress sales, meaning it's a great time to invest.

Avocado Green vs PlushBeds Botanical Bliss: Overview

The Avocado Green mattress is one of the best hybrid mattresses you can buy, and after sleeping on it, we recommend it for back sleepers and heavier sleepers thanks to its robust support.

After reviewing the Avocado Green mattress, we found that its structure, which combines latex, wool, cotton and springs, creates a medium-firm feel that will provide enough support for most sleepers. Although side sleepers might want a little extra cushioning around pressure points.

On the other hand, the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss mattress is just as high-quality, but lends itself more to side sleepers than back sleepers. Rather than a hybrid bed, you'll get multiple layers of latex, combined with a wool and cotton pillow-top.

When we reviewed the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss, we found it offered next-level pressure relief, ideal for lighter weight sleepers or those who exclusively lie on their sides.

But there's plenty of other differences to consider, so let's take a closer look.

Avocado Green Mattress vs Plush Beds Botanical Bliss: Price & Trial

While the price difference of both beds look substantially different when looking at MSRP, with a queen Avocado Green at $2,099 and a queen PlushBeds Botanical Bliss at $3,349, this isn't what they're usually sold for.

In fact, regular discounts from PlushBeds means we usually see a queen Botanical Bliss sell for $1,849, and Avocado mattress sales usually discount a queen to $1,899. So, they're actually very close in price.

While this is certainly a premium price point, it reflects the kind of prices we expect from luxury, organic mattresses. This is mainly because of the high-quality, natural materials which cost more to source and produce.

Both brands offer discounts during major sale events, but you're unlikely to see more than 20% off at Avocado. PlushBeds often throw in a free bedding bundle with their sale, too.

As for trials, you can expect a full one year trial from Avocado, which is industry leading. You'll also get a 25-year warranty, which will cover you for the full lifespan of the mattress.

PlushBeds fall slightly short for their sleep trial, offering 100 nights. We'd expect slightly more time, considering the price point, but you're likely to know if it's the right mattress for you or not within that time. But you do get a lifetime warranty, so we think the trade off is worth it.

Avocado Green mattress: from $1,499 $1,399 at Avocado
Avocado sales are always fairly conservative - if they happen at all, that is. However, at full MSRP, they are already competitively priced for the quality of the product. A queen Avocado Green mattress is now down to $1,899 (was $2,099), which although is a small saving is still a discount - and we'll take it.

Avocado Green Mattress vs PlushBeds Botanical Bliss: Materials & Design

The Avocado Green Mattress is a hybrid, which means that it’s crafted from a combination of coils and foam. At the top you’ll find an organic cotton cover that affectively wicks away moisture and feels cool to the touch. Next up is a 2-inch Dunlop latex comfort layer that lies over the top of a zone support core.

That Support is delivered by up to 1,459 individually encased steel coils, which adds to the overall breathability of the mattress, as well as offering ergonomic support in seven key areas.

That means that the mattress will feel softer and firmer in different areas. A reinforced steel perimeter aids edge support — which, like the temperature regulation and motion isolation, is excellent.

In contrast, the PlushBed Botanical Bliss is made up entirely of six layers of latex foams, GOTS certified wool and cotton. At the top, a certified cotton cover keeps sleepers cool and provides a natural deterrent to dust mites, mold and mildew. This is then followed by an organic wool comfort layer, which also helps regulate temperatures.

A natural Talalay latex comfort layer provides pressure relief, while a dense Dunlop latex base layer provides superior pressure relief, support and durability. You can also unzip the mattress and remove any of the latex layers for your own comfort.

Avocado Green Mattress vs PlushBed Botanical Bliss: Comfort & Support

While you can upgrade to a Medium (which includes a Plush Top) or a Plush (which includes a Box Top), the Avocado Green Mattress comes as a firm as standard.

During our review, we rated this mattress as a 7 out of 10 for firmness, which makes it suitable for predominantly back and stomach sleepers. Its ergonomic support system does an excellent job of providing pressure relief where it’s needed as well as keeping the spine in correct alignment, helping to alleviate back pain — which is why it comes recommended by the American Chiropractic Association.

The Avocado Green has a maximum weight capacity of 700 lbs for two sleepers (most mattresses have a weight capacity of 500 lbs), which makes it an excellent choice for heavier weight sleepers who want an organic bed but not at the cost of adequate support.

Like many of the best mattresses, the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss comes in two different firmness settings; Medium and Medium Firm, which means that it is suitable for a wide range of sleep styles.

It also comes in three different heights, 9", 10" and 12". We reviewed the Medium Firm, 9" version, and we found that it felt like a 6.5 out of 10. The surface is soft enough to contour around the body, offering excellent pressure relief. But you don't sink too far into the bed, thanks to the robust support of the latex.

For this reason, it's comparable to this year's best mattresses for side sleepers. Although, our tester felt more than enough support when sleeping on her back, too. She said her lower back and hips remained well supported in every position.

Its dense Dunlop latex layer provides the bulk of the support here, helping to keep the spine from dipping out of alignment, which can aggravate and even cause back issues. Like the Avocado Green, this mattress comes chiropractor-approved.

Avocado Green mattress vs Plushbeds botanical bliss: Performance

Both mattresses perform well when it comes to temperature regulation, which is no surprise considering their natural, breathable and moisture wicking materials.

Our lead tester for the Avocado Green scored it an impressive for 5 out of 5 for its cooling abilities, saying despite having the tendency to sleep hot, she always felt comfortable.

Like some of the best cooling mattresses, the hybrid structure of the Avocado allows plenty of airflow, which contributes to its excellent temperature regulation.

Similarly, the latex of the PlushBeds made it an excellent bed for hot sleepers, with the lead reviewer commenting that even during a Texan summer, she remained cool.

If you require extra support around the edges of your bed, you'd be better off opting for the Avocado. The reinforced edges (thanks to the coils) are just as supportive as the middle of the bed. When we placed a 55lbs weight on the edge of the bed, it only sunk two inches (the same as the center of the bed).

The Botanical Bliss on the other hand isn't as strong around the perimeter, with our tester noticing the bed dipping almost to the bed frame when she sat on the front edge of the mattress.

Despite latex being a naturally bouncy, responsive material, both beds isolate motion well, meaning movement won't travel from one side of the mattress to the other. Both would make great mattresses for couples.
