Does the Avocado crib mattress smell?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

The Avocado crib mattress, like the Avocado Latex Mattress for adults, is made with natural and organic materials. This means that the non-latex parts of the bed, such as the cotton and wool cover, produce very little to no smell.

One of the reasons why the Avocado crib mattress does not have a strong odor is because it does not contain chemical flame retardants. Many conventional mattresses use flame retardant chemicals that can emit a strong smell, but Avocado has chosen to use natural materials that do not require chemical treatment for fire resistance. This not only makes the mattress safer for your baby, but also means that it does not produce any unwanted smells.

Additionally, the Avocado crib mattress does not contain chemical adhesives to hold the layers together. Instead, the layers are hand-tufted together using wool rosettes. This natural construction method eliminates the need for glue or other adhesives that can release unpleasant odors.

In my personal experience with the Avocado crib mattress, I found that it had a very minimal smell upon opening. Any scent that was present quickly dissipated within a few hours. This is likely because the mattress is made with high-quality, natural materials that do not have strong odors to begin with.

To summarize, the Avocado crib mattress does not have a strong smell because it is made with natural and organic materials. The cotton and wool cover is not treated with chemical flame retardants, and the mattress does not contain chemical adhesives. This ensures that your baby’s sleep environment is free from unwanted odors.
