About Awara
Awara is the natural-materials brand within the Resident family (Nectar, DreamCloud, Siena). It exists to hit a price point the certified-organic brands cannot: a latex hybrid under $1,000 on promotion.
The single-model lineup pairs Rainforest Alliance certified Dunlop latex with New Zealand wool and an organic cotton cover over a pocketed coil unit.
The trade-off against Avocado or Birch is thinner latex and fewer certifications on the full assembly, but the trial and warranty terms — 365 nights and a 'forever' warranty — are the most generous in the natural category.
What they make
A natural latex hybrid mattress plus matching bases, pillows, and bedding.
Origin
Resident brand family — assembled with imported Rainforest Alliance latex
Awara Signature Technologies
Rainforest Alliance Dunlop Latex
Natural Dunlop latex sourced from certified sustainable plantations, used as the comfort layer.
New Zealand Wool Layer
Wool for natural flame resistance and moisture management under the organic cotton cover.
Individually Wrapped Coils
A pocketed-coil core that gives the bed a firmer, bouncier feel than all-latex builds.
Best for
- Buyers who want natural materials on a mid-range budget
- Back and stomach sleepers — it runs firm
- Hot sleepers wanting latex airflow
- Anyone who values a full-year trial
Not ideal for
- Side sleepers under 130 lb who need real cushioning
- Buyers who require GOLS/GOTS certification on the whole bed
- Fans of the memory-foam hug
Every Awara Mattress We've Tested
How Much Does a Awara Mattress Cost?
Awara queens run $1,000–$1,800 across the lineup (mid-tier tier). The table below estimates the rest of the size ladder from that queen range using the standard size pricing brands apply — the low column tracks the entry model, the high column the flagship. Treat these as planning estimates rather than quotes: promotions move real street prices by 20–30% for weeks at a time.

|---|---|---|---|
| Twin | 38" × 75" | $620 | $1,115 |

Awara FAQ
Is Awara a good latex mattress?
For its price, yes. It uses genuine Dunlop latex over pocketed coils and sleeps cool. Premium organic brands use thicker latex and carry full GOLS/GOTS certification, but they cost roughly twice as much.
How firm is the Awara?
About 7/10 on our scale — firmer than average. Back and stomach sleepers and heavier sleepers do well on it; lightweight side sleepers usually want a topper or a different bed.
Awara vs Avocado Green?
Avocado uses thicker GOLS-certified organic latex and has a 1-year trial with a 25-year warranty; Awara is cheaper, slightly firmer, and carries a forever warranty. If certification matters most, choose Avocado; if budget does, choose Awara.
