Avocado Green Pillow
This pillow is one of the few on the market to achieve MADE SAFE certification, ensuring it is free from over 6,500 known toxins. It combines organic latex with organic kapok fiber for a feel that mimics down without the allergens or ethical concerns.
Quality & Materials
Fill consists of GOLS organic latex ribbons and GOTS organic kapok fiber. The cover is GOTS organic cotton jersey.
Evidence & Testing
Extensive third-party testing including MADE SAFE, GREENGUARD Gold, and Formaldehyde Free claim verification by UL.
Brand Transparency
Avocado publishes an annual impact report and maintains clear, accessible documentation for all material certifications.
Value Assessment
Includes an extra fill bag to customize firmness, effectively extending the life of the product as the fill settles over time.
Why Not Alternatives?
Many 'organic' pillows still use conventional cotton or lack the MADE SAFE certification, which is more rigorous than standard Oeko-Tex testing.
