A good night’s sleep is the perennial goal for us all, but it’s often the first thing to fall off the holiday to-do list. Taking stock of your sleep scape now—and making a few strategic upgrades—can help promote comfort, recovery, and healthier sleep habits well before the first holiday ditty hits the airwaves.
Look to Avocado for your bedding revamp needs, whether for your space or the guest room. The brand gets high marks from the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab, which has rated its Green Mattress and Green Pillow as top-tested picks.
Here are five swaps from Avocado to prioritize for sounder sleep amidst the holiday hustle.
Green Mattress
This model is the top-tested organic mattress by the GH Institute Textiles Lab. This mattress pairs organic latex with reinforced coils, giving you a buoyant, floating sensation instead of the sinking feeling typical of memory foam. The GOLS-certified organic latex is also a great choice for hot sleepers; the mattress’s fabric-encased steel coils keep air flowing throughout, so you stay cooler. They’re strategically placed to offer more support, particularly for the lower back. Five firmness levels mean you can find your perfect sleep sweet spot.
Adjustable Base
An adjustable base is a choose-your-own-adventure sleep experience, because you can set your exact position. With the touch of a button on the wireless remote (or a tap of the accompanying app), you can raise your head or feet, switch into zero-gravity mode, or cue up an anti-snore position. What’s more, built-in massage modes pinpoint and ease back pain and body aches. Made with certified organic cotton canvas, rubberwood legs with three heights, and a sturdy metal base, the minimal design fits with many standard frames.
Pure Talalay Luxury Pillow
Crafted from pure Talalay organic latex, this pillow contours to your head and neck and promotes airflow for a cooling effect. It comes in two comfort levels—soft and medium—and maintains its shape over time.
Eco Organic Mattress
The latex hybrid strikes a happy medium between buoyant and bolstering. Thanks to 1,040 wrapped coils that flex independently, every curve is cradled, contoured and accounted for, while pressure points are supported. And because coils are wrapped individually, motion transfer is minimal, so your partner’s night moves won’t disturb your peace. Organic wool wicks moisture and helps regulate temperature every season, while organic latex keeps air flowing.
Down Mattress Topper
This topper transforms an ordinary mattress into the kind of plush perch found in a luxury hotel. The organic cotton outer shell is filled with 650-fill-power white duck down and feather, creating a soft, airy layer that invites you to drift off. Inside, the baffle design keeps the lofty fill evenly distributed and helps prevent shifting for consistent support.
