For over a decade, Julian and I slept on a mattress that had seen us through it all—moves, marriage, late-night talks, sick days, early mornings, new chapters, and everything in between.
It’s funny how easy it is to put off something as essential as a good night’s sleep. A new mattress always felt like one of those “someday” purchases—something we’d get around to eventually, once things settled down, once the timing felt right, once we finished a dozen other projects.
Well, after ten years, the time finally came. And let me tell you: I wish we had done it sooner!
We chose to partner with Avocado Green Mattress, a company I had admired for their commitment to sustainability, organic materials, and ethical sourcing. But what I didn’t expect was just how much it would change the way we sleep—and honestly, the way we feel throughout the day.
Their mattresses are made with certified organic materials—GOTS and GOLS certified—and free from toxins or off-gassing smells. Everything comes from trusted farms in India and Guatemala, and they’re GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions. Translation? You can breathe easy, knowing exactly what you’re sleeping on.
But let’s talk about comfort. Because WOW!
We added the adjustable base (yes, the one with buttons that raise your head and feet like magic), and it’s been an absolute dream—especially while pregnant. I can elevate my feet after long days, find just the right incline to ease pressure on my back, or cozy up for reading without stacking a mountain of pillows. It feels luxurious and practical, all at once.
More than that, I’m genuinely sleeping better.
And when you sleep better, everything feels better. Mornings are easier. Days are lighter. Your whole home feels more peaceful.
If you’re thinking about making the switch—whether your mattress is older than your relationship, or you’re just ready to invest in your rest—I can’t recommend Avocado enough. It’s the kind of purchase that pays you back night after night. Take it from someone who waited way too long—your sleep is worth the upgrade.
Curious which mattress and base we chose?
Here’s to finally saying yes to rest,
Rosie
