How is Avocado Mattress Motion Transfer?

Generally speaking, Avocado mattresses have a high level of motion transfer compared to the average mattress. We’ve tested 7 Avocado mattresses to date, including the most popular models – the Avocado Green and Avocado Eco.

These two models are also the Avocado mattresses with the lowest motion transfer. On average, Avocado mattresses earned a motion transfer score of 7.8, with an average acceleration range of 9.66 m/s² and an average motion duration of 1.40 seconds.

The models we’ve tested to date are listed in the table below:

Motion Transfer Test	Score	Acc. Range	Duration
Avocado Green (Standard)	9.0	7.31 m/s²	1.35 secs.
Avocado Green (Pillowtop)	6.8	12.22 m/s²	1.18 secs.
Avocado Eco	10	3.40 m/s²	1.48 secs.
Avocado Luxury	7.4	10.80 m/s²	0.99 secs.
Avocado Organic Hybrid	6.4	13.08 m/s²	1.60 secs.
Avocado Extra Firm	7.6	10.26 m/s²	2.06 secs.
Avocado Wool	7.5	10.54 m/s²	1.12 secs.

Average Motion Transfer

For reference, the average motion transfer score across all mattresses tested to date (399 mattresses at the time of this update) is 8.2, with an average acceleration range of 8.75 m/s² and duration of 0.88 seconds.

By this standard, both the Avocado Eco and Avocado Green mattresses have less motion transfer than average.

All Avocado mattresses except the Avocado Wool use latex foam and a latex hybrid design. The elastic properties of latex and the coil unit below create a lot of bounce, and latex does not isolate motion as effectively as other materials.

In our tests, we measured 3.40 m/s^² of acceleration range on the Avocado Eco.

The Avocado Green had slightly more motion transfer at 7.31 m/s^², but not a bad score by any means.

Avocado Motion Transfer Testing Data

We use an accelerameter to measure the level of motion that travels from the impact of a weighted ball from one side of the mattress to the other (a 36″ distance apart). Below represents the data on a chart showing the motion intensity and time.
