This is a standard size Avocado Green Pillow provided by Avocado.

Will this pillow hold its shape? Is it comfortable? And, will it sleep hot? I’ve tested some latex products in the past that were hot and I don’t like introducing a new problem to my quest to get the best night’s sleep.

I haven’t tested a molded natural pillow and I was curious how it compared to their other pillow that has latex ribbons inside and is adjustable. So let’s go over the main qualities of this pillow.

WHAT THE AVOCADO PILLOW IS MADE OF
It has an organic certified cotton quilted cover. Then inside of that there’s an organic cotton jersey liner with a zipper so that you can remove fill and adjust the pillow to your preference. It comes pretty stuffed but you can make it flatter or leave it more full.

You can also get extra fill to replace or add fill to this pillow.

The extra zippered part and the ability to add or remove the pillow to fit your personal preference is something I love to see with any pillow that has any shredded type of fill. It just makes it easy to adjust.

GET A PROTECTOR
Now the cotton cover can get water or sweat marks - I’ve seen that happen. So in this case I would get the organic cotton pillow protector which Avocado sells, that’s not waterproof. Or if you sweat a lot or spill liquids on your pillow I highly recommend a waterproof cover.

Avocado is a natural brand and the waterproofing isn’t natural but that’s what I use. But I’m going to say I’ve seen their mattress cover and the fabric is just gorgeous. So you decide what works for you.

The fill is natural organic certified latex rubber foam ribbons and organic certified kapok tree fiber.

Kapok is basically a down alternative that doesn’t involve any geese. It’s super softer and light. It's also hypoallergenic, sustainable, biodegradable, non-toxic, and grown pesticide-free. And it’s vegan.

Why does this matter? Well it matters most if you have allergies and if you want to live a more green lifestyle.

The kapok tree fiber is key here because it forms a matrix that binds all of the latex together. If you don’t have something like this then your pillow is more likely to get lumpy as pieces stick together and over time clump. But this fiber keeps it more spaced out. It’s also super soft.

GOTS CERTIFIED
Next point is that the pillow is GOTS certified.

GOTS stands for The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). This is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.

Some brands will fake it but the whole point is to verify the authenticity of the materials and Avocado has certified each piece of this pillow.

The organic cotton Certified Organic Cotton cover is not only GOTS certified but it earned the most stringent Organic OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class 1 Certification.

So you have each component that’s GOTS certified. And you can check to confirm that they do meet the standards of this governing board. And they do. So that builds trust and lets you know this is authentic.

But what about comfort?
I found this pillow to be very comfortable. The latex provides the structure and adds support.

TEMPERATURE
What about the temperature?

If you either sleep hot already or not, you don’t want your pillow to get too warm while you sleep. And the pillow lived up to its promise and didn’t sleep warm.

SIZES
Comes in standard, queen and king.

PRICE
A queen is $89. Just a note about pillows and price. I used to pay around $35 for a pillow and went through several pillows a year. What I’ve found is it’s worth it to pay more for a pillow - my pillows last for years without breaking down.
