Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) off-gassing, Latex allergy contact risk and Mold or microbial growth from moisture retention on the Avocado and not on the Avocado.
  • We flag Latex protein allergen exposure and Microbial/dust mite growth in wool on the Avocado and not on the Avocado.
  • The Avocado is organic cotton, natural latex, wool, innerspring coils where the Avocado is organic wool, organic cotton, natural latex, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
