About the Avocado Palo Alto showroom
Avocado Green Mattress has a showroom at 370 University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto. The brand calls it the Palo Alto Experience Center. Avocado's store list includes other brand stores in California, such as Pasadena and Santa Monica.
The brand's story page says Avocado was founded in 2016 by Mark Abrials, Jeff D'Andrea, Dan D'Andrea and Jay Decker. Their aim was a certified organic mattress that mainstream buyers could afford and trust. In 2018 Avocado merged with Brentwood Home, a manufacturer founded by the Nguyen family and Vy Nguyen became chief executive of Avocado Green Brands. The company says its mattresses are made in Fullerton, California, from domestic and imported certified organic materials and that each one holds GOTS finished-product certification.
The showroom
Avocado says it designed the Palo Alto space to feel like an ideal version of a home: warm, comfortable and inclusive. The floor is set up with the brand's organic bedding and wood furniture. Visitors are encouraged to spread out on the mattresses and toppers and the store provides clean linens for each guest. You can also handle the throws and sheets, test the pillows and touch the reclaimed wood used in the furniture.
The store page encourages shoppers to read the legal tags on the products, a point the brand makes about transparency. Staff are there to explain the materials and the company's mission and Avocado states that no one on the floor works on commission.
What you can buy
- Mattresses: the brand's range covers firmness levels from ultra-plush to extra firm. In the showroom, staff help you place the order and the mattress ships directly to your home.
- Bedding and pillows: throws, sheets and pillows are for sale in the store, so you can leave with them the same day.
- Furniture: the showroom displays the brand's wood furniture. Ask staff how to order pieces you see on the floor.
If you cannot make it in, Avocado offers free 30-minute video sales demos on Zoom. The brand notes that this team cannot help with existing orders, which go through customer support instead.
Why the materials matter to the brand
Avocado's story page frames the company as a response to what its founders saw as vague green claims in the mattress business. It says they wanted certified organic to become the expectation rather than the exception, with verified environmental, ethical and social standards across the supply chain. In the showroom that message shows up in practical ways: the invitation to read product tags, staff who explain materials rather than push a sale and furniture made with reclaimed wood. If certifications are your priority, bring a list of questions and ask staff to show you the documentation for the model you like.
Who it suits
The showroom is most useful if you are considering an organic or natural-materials mattress and want to feel the firmness before buying. Mattress comfort is hard to judge online and the brand sells several firmness levels, so lying on each one in person can save a return later. It also suits shoppers who care about certifications and want to ask questions about materials face to face.
