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 Heavy metal accumulation in natural latex and Latex allergy sensitization on the Avocado and not on the Avocado.
  • The Avocado is organic cotton, natural latex, wool, innerspring coils where the Avocado is organic cotton, natural latex, coconut coir, recycled steel coils, 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 →
