It's not made of avocados, obviously. That thing would spoil in, God, 30 seconds. But it's called Avocado Green Mattress. They sell mattresses, pillows, solid wood furniture. What more do you need? And no pits! It's all made from materials designed to support healthier living and more restorative sleep. Made without the harmful chemicals. Can actual avocados say that? Probably not. They only use certified organic, non-toxic materials. They even have sleep trials, you know, of up to a year to make sure you get the best mattress for you. Uh, Avocado Green Mattress, it is, uh...
