Are you searching for the best bed frame to support your new Avocado GOTS-certified mattress?
Finding the perfect bed frame can be tricky, especially when looking for one that aligns with your eco-friendly lifestyle and keeps the mattress warranty intact.
Don't stress, though. I've tested and reviewed so many sleep products over the past few years that I now consider myself a bit of a mattress master and bed frame expert.
I've compiled this comprehensive buying guide to find the best bed frame for Avocado mattress owners.
Whether you're looking for metal or wood, I've found some excellent options for you. Read on to find out more.
Later in this article, I'll discuss what to consider when choosing a frame for your Avocado mattress.
But first, I'd like to cut to the chase and give you a round down of the best Avocado compatible bed frames I tested.
I started the testing process with Avocado bed frames. After all, nobody knows better than Avocado what it takes to support an Avocado green mattress properly.
✔ FSC-Certified Reclaimed Wood
✔ GREENGUARD Gold Certified
✔ 10-Year Warranty
They Say: Made from reclaimed wood, we handcraft our Natural Wood Bed Frame in our FSC® certified (C156318) Los Angeles woodshop with a "rustic raw" stain and a zero-VOC sealant. Thick solid pine slats. The frame assembles without tools. In-home delivery and setup included.
We Say: This eco-wood bed frame is actually my overall winner, as well as the best wood bed frame from Avocado. It's a simply stunning piece of bedroom furniture with stunning eco-credentials.
This natural wood bed frame perfectly combines classic style, robust construction, and eco-friendly materials.
It's constructed from FSC-certified reclaimed Douglas fir wood and finished with a zero-VOC sealant for a look as beautiful as it is durable.
The reclaimed wood is sourced from buildings that have seen decades of use, giving it a unique and beautiful character. No two of these fantastic bed frames will be the same. It's a truly bespoke piece of eco-friendly furniture.
The frame easily assembles without tools. Delivery to a room of your choice and full setup are included for all orders within the continental United States, so you can start sleeping comfortably in no time!
Yes, this is an expensive bed frame. However, judging by the build quality (backed up by a 10-year warranty), I've no doubt that, with a small amount of general care, this bed frame will become an heirloom piece that you'll pass down from generation to generation.
They Say: Elevate your bed with our modern, heavy-duty metal bed frame. Made of durable reclaimed steel, the simple tool-free design assembles in minutes. Our squeak-free Metal Bed Frame works with any foundation to provide the perfect system for your mattress. It delivers appropriate support, airflow, and height, while a wide-tapered design increases stability.
We Say: The Avocado Metal Bed Frame is a fantastic option if you're looking for a modern, durable bed frame that won't break the bank.
This affordable metal bed frame is built to last. Supporting up to 800lbs, the interior is reinforced with extra strength and solidity in mind.
That strength comes from reclaimed railroad steel from Pennsylvania that has been melted down, sheared, and rolled into angle iron of high carbon content. The furnace used to recycle the steel runs on naturally occurring methane gas (robust steel AND eco-friendly production…NICE!).
The molded reclaimed steel system ensures no squeaks or uncomfortable edges (making it a perfect accompaniment for the Avocado Green Mattress Foundation).
I found this bed frame straightforward to set up within minutes with no tools required (no need to bring out the drill for this one!).
Headboard brackets are included so you can easily attach your non-toxic headboard to finish the look.
Avocado's rock-solid 10-year warranty means you can rest easy knowing your bed frame will last for a long time, and the low-profile design makes it an excellent choice if you want to make your bed look more streamlined.
However, the low-profile design might not be for everyone. Especially if you have mobility issues and have difficulties getting in and out of bed.
The Avocado Metal Bed Frame is an excellent option for those looking for an affordable, strong, and aesthetically pleasing bed frame. Highly recommended!
✔ GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton Canvas
✔ Natural Rubberwood Legs
✔ 20-Year Warranty
They Say: Our Eco Plus Adjustable Bed Frame seamlessly transitions into customized comfort positions and presets — like anti-snore — in seconds, providing unmatched tension relief for your whole body, and a better night's sleep. A wireless remote or optional smartphone app makes it easy to adjust upper and lower lumbar supports and select from three massage modes. Under the bed LED lighting prevents stumbles at night.
We Say: For a personalized sleep experience, the Eco Plus Adjustable Base has it all.
This base features an innovative deck-on-deck design to keep any under-the-base mechanics out of sight.
At first, I thought the under-bed LED lights would be a bit of a gimmick. However, as a man of a certain age who needs to visit the bathroom around 2am like clockwork, I found the gentle lighting to welcome me back to bed a handy feature.
The remote control with a built-in flashlight is also a nice touch. As are the dual USB ports to keep your devices charged as you sleep.
With the wireless remote (or smartphone app), you can adjust to your desired sleeping posture in seconds. From anti-snore mode and customizable memory positions to head/foot tilt adjustments and upper/lower lumbar support, this powerful base relieves stress on your body by providing maximum comfort for your neck, back, and legs.
The base panels are covered with 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton and ethically sourced wool, and I love the straightforward design of the adjustable solid rubberwood legs.
This bed will even give you a massage on demand. Allow the gentle massage motions of three varied upper-body and lower-body modes to reduce stress, alleviate tension, and slow your heart rate for better sleep.
Nowhere else can you find such convenience and body support paired with sustainability, eco-credentials, and longevity (thanks to the incredible 20-year warranty!).
Avocado has seriously knocked it out of the park with this adjustable base.
You don't have to use Avocado bed frames with Avocado mattresses (although Avocado's bed frames are some of the best you can buy).
Any high-quality supportive frame will work well with Avocado's range of mattresses.
Check out my best solid wood bed frames article for more details of the best non-Avocado frame options.
Avocado mattresses are some of the best you can buy. They're pricey but worth every penny.
One of the main reasons for the high price is the high level of sustainable fabrics and organic materials used (sustainable products are more expensive, simple as that!).
Another reason is the excellent warranty that comes as standard to protect your investment. Most avocado mattresses come with a 25-year warranty.
There are many terms of conditions attached to the warranty. Nothing sinister. All very standard. You can read more here.
However, the section of the warranty that applies to the type of frame you should use states:
The Mattress Warranty begins at the time the Mattress is purchased by you, when the Mattress is used normally for its intended purposes and on a rigid, solid surface or slatted bed base that is structurally capable of supporting the weight of the Mattress and user(s). A proper bed frame is defined, for the purpose of this Mattress Warranty, as having at least five to six (5-6) leg support for a Queen, King, and California King Mattress, four (4) leg support for Twin and Full Mattresses. For Queen, King, and California King slatted style bed frames, there cannot be greater than five (5) inches between each slat in order to provide ample structural support for the foundation and user(s). Each slat needs to be a minimum of two and a half (2.5) inches wide.
In addition to ensuring your frame protects your mattress warranty, you'll also want to look for bed frames that align with the eco-friendly values of your Avocado mattress.
Ideally, you want something non-toxic and free from VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
VOCs off-gas from materials such as engineered wood, paints, lacquers, and finishes. VOCs can be hazardous to your health, especially if you have asthma or allergies.
It makes no sense to invest in a non-toxic Avocado mattress only to place it on a poorly constructed and potentially toxic bed frame.
I would advise against a box spring for an Avocado mattress unless you like a very springy (almost trampoline-like) sleeping experience.
An Avocado mattress works best on a flat, rigid foundation for optimal support, such as a platform frame or slatted base.
This will ensure your mattress gets the best support to extend its lifespan and keep the warranty intact.
Avocado mattresses balance comfort and flexibility with their hybrid designs, providing adaptive support on adjustable beds.
The Avocado Latex Mattress, for example, works perfectly with adjustable bases thanks to its springless construction and 9" layer of flexible organic latex.
A platform bed or one crafted with wooden slats is the ideal foundation for memory foam and latex mattresses. This kind of base provides the necessary support so that your mattress won't sag and will remain in good condition for years.
Yes, box springs are outdated and no longer really necessary. Platform beds or solid wooden bed frames with slats provide the support most mattresses need.
Yes, the Avocado City Bed Frame is an excellent avocado mattress bed frame, and only just missed out on my top three.
However, if you're looking for a cost-effective alternative to the Avocado Natural Wood Bed Frame, it's a fantastic choice.
Yes. I love the Avocado Green Mattress and have reviewed it in my eco-friendly mattress article.
Yes - with its wooden frame made from sustainably harvested maple or walnut, I would class the Avocado Malibu Platform Bed Frame as a hardwearing option.
Choosing the right frame for your mattress is essential to ensure that you get the best possible comfort and support from it.
The key factors to consider when selecting a frame are:
You should generally avoid box springs as they can make the mattress too springy. Platform beds or slatted bases provide optimal flatness and rigidity.
With these tips in mind, you'll be sure to find a compatible frame that helps extend the lifespan of your Avocado mattress so you can enjoy luxurious and sustainable sleep for many years to come.
