Why have 5,500,000+ people chosen Nectar?
The Avocado Latex (the closest they have to memory foam) will set you back around an extra $700 compared to the Nectar.
So while Avocado has been splurging money fitting out their fancy Apple-like stores.
Nectar’s focus has been on engineering a perfect night’s sleep for you (gaining many awards in that pursuit).
Avocado wants that extra money from you, but we think it should stay in your pocket.

Avocado makes you pay a hefty price for their materials. But do they really improve your sleep?
There’s no doubt they try to source good materials, and we applaud their green credentials. But just because you use the wool from a Himalayan sheep, hand-woven by meditating Buddhist monks, it doesn’t mean it’s the best way to create a body-supporting mattress.
And don’t even try to work out the structure of their mattresses. It’s the most confusing thing you will do this year (their descriptions may as well have been written in Latin). We spent an hour trying to figure it out (not recommended).
The Nectar Mattress
Breathable Cooling Cover
Our signature cover is designed with innovative cooling technology for a refreshing rest. It features heat-absorbent polyethylene fibers that help wick excess body heat away to promote cool sleep.
Therapeutic Gel-Infused Memory Foam
Two inches of CertiPUR-US® Certified gel memory foam contours to your every curve. Plush gel memory foam offers pressure-relieving support and sleeps cooler than traditional memory foam.
Dynamic Response Layer
Three inches of conventional CertiPUR-US® Certified foam provides support while allowing airflow, plus crucial rebound and bounce. This responsive layer helps minimize motion transfer and promotes better spinal alignment.
ActiveSupport Stability Base Layer
Seven inches of conventional CertiPUR-US® Certified foam ensures structure, so the layers above it perform at their peak. This durable layer is the foundation for better sleep.
Shift-Resistant Lower Cover
The soft stitchbond polyester cover helps the inner core of your mattress stay in place, and prevents each of the layers from shifting on top of each other.
Avocado Green Mattress
Cover
The top, sides and base are covered with a cotton, spandex and wool combo.
2” of organic latex (soft)
Latex foam doesn’t hug you as nicely as memory foam. But has similar properties.
3 more inches of latex (medium firm)
More of the same. This layer is just a bit firmer.
4 more inches of latex (firmer)
Base layer of harder latex foam.
So, what’s all the extra money on the Avocado actually for?
Is it Avocado, or Apple? Because boy do they make you pay a lot for their mattress. So, they’re asking you to spend $700 extra. But is a sleep on an Avocado $700 better than a Nectar? Well, you can be the judge of that. We just think that money is better off in your pocket.
We think your mattress should do one thing amazingly: give you an incredible night’s sleep.
Sure, you could spend more money and get the Avocado – or you could spend less, and put that money towards something incredible, like an all-expenses-paid trip to Europe. We know what we’d rather do.

- The best warranty you can get. All Nectar mattresses have a Forever Warranty™. If there’s something wrong with your mattress, we’ll make things right. Avocado only give you 25 years in comparison. This sounds decent, but check the small print and it’s really only 10 years of full coverage. After that, the hoops you’ll have to jump through get higher and higher.
- We’d rather keep costs down. Avocado sure is trying to woo you with fanciness. That’s clear from their expensive stores from California to New Jersey. It’s very Apple, but for beds. But these huge costs likely end up in the price of your mattress. Sure, we’ve got retail partnerships where you can try out a Nectar in real life. But we chose not to create a fancy pants Nectar-only store, because it would only end up costing YOU more. The way we see it: why should a consumer in Milwaukee pay for a fancy store in CA? Or vice versa.
