Where these two actually differ

  • We flag PFAS in DWR treatment, Polyester volatilization (off-gassing) and Coating degradation and microfiber shedding on the Brooklyn Bedding and not on the Avocado Green Mattress.
  • The Avocado Green Mattress is organic cotton where the Brooklyn Bedding is Polyester/cotton blend with water-resistant treatment (DWR), 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.

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 →
