Extra Firm Mattress
The Avocado Extra Firm Mattress is purpose-built from the inside out for maximum support and breathability—designed specifically for big and tall sleepers, plus-size individuals, athletes, and those who prefer an ultra-firm or an Asian-style sleep surface. It features dual layers of heavy-duty coils, organic Dunlop latex, and natural coconut fiber pads for orthopedic-grade, zoned support without sinkage. With up to 2,112 individually wrapped coils (30% more than standard designs), it delivers better alignment, pressure distribution, and cooling airflow—ideal for back and stomach sleepers or anyone with chronic back pain. Of course, it also meets the highest standards for organic, sustainability, health, and safety. It is nothing less than the only extra-firm, heavy-duty organic mattress of its kind.






Our Firmest Mattress For Maximum Support
This is the firmest mattress we’ve ever made. Two layers of 14-gauge coils—far stronger and more durable than those of other brands—combined with high-density natural materials, provide a solid, stable sleep surface that resists sagging and delivers ergonomic alignment, even under heavier weights. Because more coils mean more support, it proudly features up to 2,112 individually wrapped coils (King size), which also improves responsiveness and pressure distribution. While the feel softens slightly for the heaviest sleepers, it remains definitively firm (10 out of 10) for lasting support for back and stomach sleepers. Side sleepers can add an Organic Mattress Topper for added contouring and cushioning.
Over Engineered
Whether you're tall, plus-size, or an athlete, this mattress is built for performance. It’s engineered to support up to 2,000 lbs when used with our Heavy Duty Foundation. Dual individually wrapped coil units made from double-tempered recycled steel adapt to your body while resisting motion transfer and premature wear. Its exemplary orthopedic zoned design ensures optimal alignment and pressure relief without excess sinkage.
Firmly Organic
The Extra Firm Mattress is the only extra firm, heavy-duty mattress that’s certified organic. It’s crafted with GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, along with GOTS-certified organic wool and cotton, and needle-tufted by hand for exceptional durability. Avocado is the only OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 innerspring mattress currently available, ensuring the highest standards for health and safety.
Extra Cool
No heat-trapping memory foams here or gimmicky cooling chemicals. Instead, we use breathable organic Dunlop latex (D65), ventilated with hundreds of small airflow channels, firm coconut husk pads infused with natural latex, and organic wool to wick away moisture and keep you cool, naturally. Better temperature regulation means better and more natural sleep.
Lower Profile
At just 10.5 inches tall, the Extra Firm Mattress offers a streamlined, modern silhouette—a refreshing alternative to the oversized, bulky mattresses commonly marketed to heavier individuals. Its lower profile is ideal for platform beds, minimalist interiors, or those who simply prefer a cleaner, more intentional aesthetic. It’s especially favored by athletes and those in Asian communities, who often seek firm, supportive, lower-profile sleep surfaces for optimal spinal alignment.

PERFORATED CERTIFIED ORGANIC LATEX
We use FSC® certified (FSC-C156318) Dunlop latex in our Extra-Firm Mattress. Our GOLS-certified organic latex (CU 863637) is sourced from co-owned farmer societies and processing facilities in India and Guatemala, operating under the USDA’s National Organic Program. The latex contains 95% or more certified organic content—the highest standard—and is processed in GOLS-certified organic facilities.
For this mattress, we use D65 Dunlop latex, a medium-firm density chosen to provide responsive comfort while complementing the ultra-supportive coil and coconut structure beneath. No chemical adhesives are used to bind the layers—our mattress is needle-tufted by hand. This perforated and ventilated latex is eco-INSTITUT® label certified (119-34212-001), confirming it meets the strictest standards for low emissions and pollutants.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC WOOL
The benefits of organic wool’s complex and natural physicochemical structure are endless: it wicks away moisture from hot sleepers, keeps your mattress smelling fresh, and acts as an additional all-natural fire barrier. It’s breathable — both warm and cool when you need it. Its natural crimp gives it bounce, body, and soft support characteristics. It’s also non-allergenic (ideal for those who suffer from allergies to feather and down or synthetic bedding products) and a renewable resource. No additives or synthetics are added to the wool. At Avocado, we add a layer of pure, naturally crimped GOTS-certified organic wool (CU 863637) (1 ounce per square foot) beneath the organic-certified cotton ticking in every mattress. We do not blend rayon, polyester, or flame retarding chemicals with our wool. Our organically grown wool is independently certified to the Responsible Wool Standard by Textile Exchange.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC COTTON
For a luxurious and premium finish, we use GOTS-certified organic cotton (CU863637) in a soft, natural color blended with 3% elastane for functional stretch and enhanced durability—fully compliant with GOTS standards. This fabric is quilted over a generous layer of organic wool, supported by a thin, non-woven backing—added in accordance with GOTS accessory requirements—to prevent the wool from shifting or clumping and to keep natural fibers from working through the outer cotton over time. Responsibly and ethically sourced from India, this durable textile is hand-needle-tufted using organic wool yarn rosettes. These secure the cotton ticking and internal mattress layers without chemical or water-based adhesives. Reinforced edge seams are double-stitched for added durability, and four heavy-duty upholstered handles make the mattress easy to rotate or move. Organic cotton complements the wool comfort layers, ensuring this mattress sleeps cool without synthetic fabrics or flame retardants.
ENGINEERED FOR EXTRA-FIRM BACK SUPPORT
The Avocado Extra Firm Mattress features a purpose-built, heavy-duty support system that delivers exceptional firmness, pressure relief, and long-term durability. Rather than relying on thick synthetic foam layers, this mattress features a dual-coil construction separated by natural coconut fiber pads, designed to meet the needs of heavier sleepers, big and tall individuals, athletes, or anyone who prefers an ultra-supportive mattress.
The mattress includes two 3-inch layers of individually wrapped, heavy-gauge coils, each floating independently within a food-grade, non-toxic, non-woven polypropylene fabric. These double-tempered recycled steel coils are 25% stronger than industry standard, providing a firm, responsive sleep surface that resists sagging and maintains spinal alignment, even under greater weight and pressure.
Between each coil unit is a 0.5-inch layer of organic coconut fiber infused with organic latex, which enhances firmness, limits motion transfer, and increases airflow for cool, dry sleep. This dense, natural material also serves as a supportive buffer, reinforcing the entire structure without the need for glue or synthetic foam.
The coils are assembled using an environmentally conscious adhesive composed of tested components (Waxes: CAS 8002-74-2, Resin: CAS 8050-26-8, Antioxidant: CAS 6683-19-8, EVA Polymer: CAS 24937-78-8). They are needle-tufted by hand with up to 9 wool rosettes, eliminating the need for chemical flame retardants or glues between layers.
The entire innerspring system meets OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, EWG Verified®, MADE SAFE®, GREENGUARD Gold, and Formaldehyde-Free Claim Verification standards, ensuring the mattress is held to the most rigorous standards for environmental safety and human health.
With its advanced dual-coil design and ultra-firm feel, the Extra Firm Mattress delivers unmatched support, durability, and breathability, making it the ideal mattress for plus-size sleepers, back and stomach sleepers, and those seeking a firm, organic mattress that performs.
COOLING MATTRESS DESIGN
The Avocado Extra Firm Mattress is naturally breathable by design — no synthetic foams, no temperature-trapping latex. Instead, it relies on the inherent thermoregulating properties of GOTS-certified organic wool, which wicks away moisture and heat to help maintain a stable and comfortable sleep climate year-round. The use of individually wrapped microcoils and a zoned innerspring base further enhances airflow throughout the mattress, minimizing heat retention and promoting cooler, deeper rest. As a cooling, extra firm mattress without latex or memory foam, it's an ideal solution for hot sleepers seeking a more breathable and sustainable sleep surface.
TESTED FOR PERFORMANCE
Avocado Mattresses undergo rigorous third-party durability testing, including the industry-standard Rollator and Cornell tests. We proudly publish our test results to ensure full transparency and to validate the durability of our natural, organic design.
NO FLAME RETARDANTS
As a natural wool mattress, this design meets flammability standards without the use of chemicals — a safer choice for eco-conscious sleepers. The Avocado Extra Firm Mattress uses only GOTS-certified organic wool, which is naturally fire-resistant.
TESTED FOR PFAS CHEMICALS
PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals used in various industries worldwide. Known for their persistence in the environment and the human body, they are often referred to as "forever chemicals." At Avocado, we're committed to ensuring our products are free from harmful levels of PFAS. Our mattresses have been rigorously tested using advanced techniques, including Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, for 241 PFAS substances. This testing method is superior to generic organic fluorine screening tests, which can often be inaccurate and fail to detect specific PFAS compounds. Test results indicate that our mattress materials contain no detectable amounts of PFAS. That makes this one of the safest natural mattresses for sensitive sleepers, babies, and individuals seeking to avoid PFAS and chemical exposure.
THE CLIMATE LABEL CERTIFIED
The Climate Label is a trusted mark of corporate climate leadership. Companies that earn the Climate Label have been verified as meeting high standards for climate performance, transparency, and accountability. Products and services from certified brands are developed and delivered with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions over time.

25-YEAR WARRANTY
Years 1 - 10: Full coverage, Non-Prorated. Years 11 - 25: Limited Coverage, Prorated. To maintain structural integrity and ensure warranty coverage, the Extra Firm Mattress must be used on a properly designed support system. All Avocado foundations, bunkie boards, bed frames, and adjustable bases meet these requirements when used correctly and unaltered. If using a third-party bed frame, it must include a rigid center support beam with at least one leg extending to the floor for queen-size beds and larger. We strongly recommend pairing this mattress with a heavy-duty foundation designed for higher weight capacities to prevent sagging and extend the mattress's lifespan.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Is this a good mattress for big and tall sleepers?
Yes. The Avocado Extra-Firm Mattress is purpose-built to support heavier bodies, including those of plus-size and big and tall sleepers. With dual layers of 25% stronger coils and dense, natural materials, it delivers long-lasting support and resists sagging better than conventional foam or hybrid beds.
What makes this mattress more breathable than memory foam options?
Unlike memory foam, which traps heat and lacks airflow, this mattress uses organic Dunlop latex, coconut fiber pads, and a dual coil system—all naturally breathable materials that promote ventilation and moisture wicking. The result is a cool, dry sleep surface that is free from synthetic cooling gels and chemicals.
Why would an athlete want an extra firm mattress?
Athletes often prefer extra firm mattresses for better spinal alignment, muscle recovery, and support. The Avocado Extra-Firm Mattress provides minimal sinkage and even weight distribution, helping to alleviate pressure points and maintain proper body support for a deeper, more restorative sleep.
Does firmness change for heavier sleepers over 300 lbs?
While firmness perception may feel slightly softer for heavier sleepers due to increased compression, this mattress is engineered to maintain support even under high loads. The dual coil construction and high-density comfort layers ensure it still feels distinctly firm and durable over time.
What is the firmness rating of the Avocado Extra Firm Mattress?
The Avocado Extra Firm Mattress is rated 10 out of 10 on the firmness scale—our firmest mattress yet. It’s designed for sleepers who require strong, consistent support, particularly those who sleep on their back or stomach, are heavier individuals, or simply prefer a stable sleep surface.
Is the Extra Firm Mattress good for people with back pain?
Yes — for many people, especially those who sleep on their back or stomach, the Extra Firm Mattress can help alleviate or prevent back pain by promoting proper spinal alignment. Its ultra-firm feel and dual coil system are designed to keep your hips and shoulders level, reducing pressure on the lower back. It's also ideal for heavier individuals or athletes, who often need more support to avoid sinking too deeply into softer mattresses.
However, if you're a side sleeper or need extra pressure relief at the shoulders and hips, this mattress may feel too firm. In those cases, we recommend layering with an organic latex topper for added contouring or exploring one of our medium-firm models.
