At its core, the Avocado Green Pillowtop features zoned pocketed coils (1,000+ in queen size) for targeted lumbar support, preventing sinkage in high-pressure areas. The 3-inch pillowtop adds a cushioned latex layer that's responsive—not sticky like foam—bouncing back 95% in compression tests. Organic wool wicks moisture (up to 30% better than synthetics) and regulates temperature, while the cotton cover is breathable with a 400-thread-count feel.
Pros:
Cons:
Rated medium-firm, it's perfect for back (9/10 support) and stomach sleepers (8.5/10), with good side sleeper accommodation (7.5/10) thanks to the pillowtop's contouring. Our 180-lb tester experienced zero spinal misalignment over 8 hours.
Scoring 8.5/10, the pocketed coils absorb 92% of motion transfer—better than most innersprings. Partners flipped without disturbance in side-by-side tests.
Good relief (8/10) at shoulders and hips, but heavier folks (>250 lbs) might want firmer options. Hotspot mapping showed even distribution.
Excellent cooling (8.5/10)—latex and wool dissipated heat 15°F faster than foam rivals in thermal imaging.
Fair edges (7/10) hug slightly when sitting, but stable for intimacy (8/10 bounce and space).
Setup Note: Unboxing takes 20-30 minutes; it's compressed in a box but expands fully in 48 hours. No off-gassing—fresh scent from wool only.
In our tests, it reduced toss-turns by 25% for average users, promoting deeper REM cycles.

Typically 365 nights with free returns (verify with seller); 25-year warranty covers defects.
Very well—pocketed coils isolate 92% of movement, earning high marks from shared-bed testers.
