Avocado Green vs Naturepedic Concerto mattress: Materials & design
- The Naturepedic Concerto is 13” in height
- The Avocado Green is 11” in height
- Both mattresses are organic latex hybrids
The Avocado Green is our top pick of the best organic mattresses on the market, offering a supportive and comfortable sleep. It’s a simple three layer design, starting with an organic GOTs-certified cotton and wool cover that’s designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking.
The wool is also naturally antimicrobial and protects against dust mites. Up next is a comfort layer made from Dunlop latex for support, pressure relief and breathability. The base layer has another inch of Dunlop latex along with support coils arranged in seven ergonomic zones. These provide tailored support as needed across the body.
The Naturepedic Concerto is made up of a whopping eight layers, starting with a quilt made of organic cotton fabric, organic wool batting and a PLA comfort layer (PLA is a plant-based, non-toxic, cotton-looking synthetic fiber material to help improve moisture wicking). Underneath is an organic latex layer for pressure relief, followed by an organic cotton fabric insulator sitting on top of high-density microcoils.
An organic cotton pillow top encasement divides the microcoils from another layer of encased coils with reinforced edges. Finally, there’s another thin layer of organic cotton batting, all of which is held within an organic cotton fabric encasement.
Avocado Green vs Naturepedic Concerto mattress: Comfort & support
- The Avocado is a medium firm mattress, with a firmness rating of 7/10
- The Naturepedic is a plush soft mattress, with a firmness rating of 5/10
- The Avocado Green has options to add in a pillow top or thicker box top to make the mattress softer
In our Avocado Green mattress review our testers agreed with Avocado’s firmness rating of 7 out of 10, finding the mattress particularly suited to back and stomach sleepers. The medium firm feel offers excellent back and neck support, meaning it could also be a good option for those suffering with back and joint pain.
We rate the Avocado Green as one of the best hybrid mattresses on the market, thanks to its combination of coils and latex offering superior pressure relief. We wouldn’t recommend it to side sleepers though, as it’s too firm to offer sufficient cushioning around the shoulders and hips in this position. However, Avocado Green do offer the options of a softer pillow top and even softer box top (for extra money, of course), which allows you to soften the bed and make it more suitable for side sleeping and lighter weight sleepers.
During our Naturepedic Concerto Organic Pillow Top mattress review, our testers found the mattress to be surprisingly plush, rating it at a 5 out of 10 firmness. The mattress offers excellent pressure relief around the shoulders and hips, with sleepers sinking into the Naturepedic as it contours around your body shape.
Despite this softer feel, the mattress surprisingly springs back into shape immediately a sleeper’s body weight is removed, so back sleepers of a lighter and average weight are likely to find it comfortable as well. Stomach sleepers and those of a heavier weight should avoid though, as it’s just too plush to support their hips successfully.
Avocado Green vs Naturepedic Concerto mattress: Temperature regulation
- Both mattresses use breathable organic materials to keep sleepers cool
- Both mattresses are of a hybrid design, with coil layers to promote airflow
- Both mattresses use natural latex, which is known for being naturally cooling
Despite not being amongst our best cooling mattress selections, both the Avocado Green and Naturepedic Concerto do an excellent job of keeping sleepers cool. This is down to the fact that they both use naturally breathable materials, such as cotton, latex and wool.
Our testers found the Avocado Green cool to the touch, with our main reviewer (who is prone to overheating at night) feeling cool and comfortable from dawn till dusk. It was a similar story with the Naturepedic Concerto which, despite its plushness, did an excellent job of keeping our testers comfortable.
Avocado Green vs Naturepedic Concerto mattress: Which should you buy?
Buy the Avocado Green mattress if...
✅ You’re on a tighter budget: It’s still a luxury mattress, but even at full MSRP the Avocado is cheaper than the Naturepedic. And, when there is a discount, you’ll save as much as $1,000 on the price of a queen.
✅ You have neck or back pain: The Avocado Green has zoned support for even weight distribution and its medium firm feel means that your hips will be kept raised and your spine aligned.
✅ You want customization options: For an extra fee you can choose to add either a pillow top or box top to the Avocado, making it softer and suitable for a wider range of sleepers.
Buy the Naturepedic Concerto mattress if…
✅ You sleep on your side: The plush feel of the Naturepedic is soft enough to relieve side-sleeping pressure points, but there’s plenty of support to stop you sinking too far into the mattress.
✅ You want a more luxurious mattress: With eight layers of plushness and support, the Naturepedic feels like a luxurious hotel mattress.
✅ You want more sinkage: If you enjoy the feeling of sinking into a mattress that contours around your pressure points, the Naturepedic is the one to choose. And the fact that the materials snap back into place when you get off the bed means you’ll get better longevity as well.

What Jo doesn't know about a boxed mattress isn't worth knowing, so naturally we tasked her with producing a series of features for Tom's Guide looking at all aspects of mattresses, from how to pick between latex and memory foam (it's a tricky one), to the seven mistakes people make when buying a mattress for the first time. When testing the DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid for Tom's Guide, Jo said: "I loved the back support and pressure relief it offered. Plus, it looks far more expensive than it is."
