Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PFAS in waterproof coatings, Polyurethane or DWR coating degradation and off-gassing, Formaldehyde resins in polyester fabric finish and Microplastic or coating particle shedding on the Bedlore and not on the Avocado Green Mattress.
  • The Avocado Green Mattress is organic cotton where the Bedlore is Unknown waterproof coating (likely DWR-treated polyester or polyurethane), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • The gap is 55 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Avocado Green Mattress is the one to buy.
  • We are less certain about the Bedlore grade, at 35% confidence against 78%, because it discloses less.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers 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 →
