Top Questions

What's behind the Awara brand?

Awara is built on one premise: what your mattress is made of matters. Every Awara mattress uses natural latex and wool — no synthetic foams, no vague material claims. Our Classic and Premier go further, with GOLS-certified organic latex, New Zealand Farm Assured wool, and FSC-certified latex sources — materials with standards you can actually look up. Honest sourcing. Natural comfort you can feel.

Do you offer financing?

Yes, Awara customers are able to finance their purchase via Affirm. Your rate will be 0% APR or 10–36% APR based on credit, and is subject to an eligibility check. Options depend on your purchase amount, and a down payment may be required.

When can I expect to receive my Awara mattress?

The current shipping times will be indicated on the product page under the add to cart button. However, sometimes there are delays due to external forces.

What is the Awara 365-Night Trial?

Every Awara mattress comes with a 365-night trial. Sleep on it for a full year. If it's not right for you, get in touch and we'll arrange pickup and a full refund — no hoops, no hassle. We recommend at least 30 nights; your body takes time to adjust to any new sleep surface.

Warranty & Trial

What warranty comes with Awara bedding?

Awara bedding comes with a 1-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. If you experience an issue with your bedding within that period, please reach out to our Sleep Concierge team for assistance.

What does Awara's Forever Warranty cover?

Awara mattresses come with a Forever Warranty. If your mattress ever develops defects in materials or construction from normal use, we'll repair or replace it — no time limit, no expiration. It's the last mattress warranty you'll ever need to think about.

Shipping & Delivery

How can I track my order?

Once your Awara ships, you'll receive a tracking number via email. You can use this to monitor your delivery status directly with the carrier.

Do you take away my old mattress at delivery?

White Glove Service is currently unavailable. For mattress disposal and recycling options in your area, please visit Mattress Disposal Plus or check with your local recycling services. California customers only: free mattress removal and recycling is available for California addresses — schedule a pick-up within 30 days of your new mattress delivery.

When can I expect to receive my Awara mattress?

Mattress Details

What's the right Awara firmness for my sleep position?

It depends on how you sleep. Side sleepers typically do better with a surface that gives at the hip and shoulder. Back sleepers often want something with more pushback for spinal alignment. Stomach sleepers tend to need a firmer feel. Our mattress comparison guide can help you find the right fit.

How firm are Awara mattresses?

Awara mattresses sit in the medium to medium-firm range — supportive enough for back and stomach sleepers, with enough give for side sleepers. The organic latex layer provides natural pushback without pressure. Our mattress comparison page breaks it down by sleep position if you want more guidance.

Does an Awara mattress have a smell when first opened?

Latex has a natural, earthy scent when first unboxed — that's the latex, not synthetic chemicals. It typically fades within a few days. Open a window and give it some air; it clears quickly.

What materials is an Awara mattress made with?

GOLS-certified organic latex. New Zealand Farm Assured wool. Individually wrapped coils. That's the core of every Awara Classic and Premier mattress — materials you can verify, not just claims. The latex is certified organic by the Global Organic Latex Standard. The wool is sourced from New Zealand Farm Assured farms. Fiberglass-free construction, Prop 65 compliant. The Awara Essential uses responsive latex and wool quilting for comfort and breathability.

How do I care for my Awara mattress?

To keep your Awara in great condition, rotate it head-to-foot every 3–6 months. Spot clean the cover with mild detergent and cold water. We recommend using a mattress protector to guard against spills and stains and extend the life of your mattress.

Which mattress size is right for me?

Start with your space and who's sleeping in it. Twin and Full work well for solo sleepers or smaller rooms. Queen fits most couples comfortably. King and California King give you the most room — Cal King trades a little width for extra length, which tends to work better for taller sleepers.

What's the difference between a hybrid and an all-foam mattress?

Hybrid mattresses layer comfort materials on top of individually wrapped coils. The coils add airflow, edge support, and durability that all-foam beds can't match. Awara mattresses use organic latex — not memory foam — which responds and breathes differently. Latex pushes back rather than conforming; the coils underneath add ventilation and longevity.

How long does an Awara mattress take to expand?

Latex expands quickly — your Awara is ready to sleep on within a few hours of unboxing. Give it up to 72 hours to reach its full shape.

Does Awara mattress sleep hot?

No, Awara mattresses generally do not sleep hot. Awara’s natural latex is one of the most comfortable sleeping materials on the planet. This natural latex helps provide pressure-relieving support and does not retain heat like some memory foam mattresses do, ensuring that you’ll sleep comfortably every night.

Returns & Exchanges

How do Awara returns work?

Get in touch via chat, email, or phone and we'll take it from there. We coordinate pickup and process your refund. Returned Awara mattresses are donated locally — so your return does some good on the way out.

What if I need to cancel my order?

If you need to cancel your order, get in touch with our team as soon as possible. We'll do our best to cancel before your order ships. Once your Awara has shipped, our standard 365-night return process applies.

Do I have to pay for return shipping?

Awara returns are free. Within the 365-night trial, our team will coordinate the most convenient way to remove your mattress — at no cost to you.

Do I need to keep any of Awara's packaging materials?

No, you don't need to keep any of the packaging materials. If you ever need to return your Awara, our team will coordinate pickup directly — no original packaging required.

Can I exchange my Awara?

Awara doesn't offer direct exchanges, but within our 365-night trial you can return your mattress and place a new order for a different model or size.

Financing & Payments

Do you offer financing?

Yes, Awara customers are able to finance their purchase via Affirm. Your rate will be 0% APR or 10–36% APR based on credit, and is subject to an eligibility check. Options depend on your purchase amount, and a down payment may be required.

Does Affirm perform a credit check?

Affirm performs a soft credit check to prequalify you, which does not affect your credit score. A hard credit check may be performed when you complete your loan.

How does Affirm work?

At checkout, select Affirm as your payment method. You'll answer a few questions, receive a real-time decision, and choose a payment plan that works for you. Your rate will be 0% APR or 10–36% APR based on credit, and is subject to an eligibility check.

What is Affirm?

Affirm is a financing service that lets you pay for your Awara over time in fixed monthly installments, with no hidden fees or surprises.

How do HSA and FSA accounts work?

HSA and FSA accounts let you set aside pre-tax dollars to cover qualified health-related expenses. HSAs typically link to high-deductible health plans and funds roll over year to year. FSAs often must be used within the same calendar year. Using these funds on eligible Awara sleep products can offer significant savings.

How does using HSA/FSA funds save me money?

Purchases made with HSA/FSA funds are tax-free. Depending on your tax bracket, this can effectively reduce your mattress or adjustable base cost by up to 40% or more, making it easier to invest in better sleep.

Why do I need a Health Assessment and Provider Review?

Some products require a brief health assessment and review by a licensed provider to confirm eligibility. This ensures your purchase aligns with HSA/FSA guidelines.

What if only part of my cart qualifies?

If only certain products are eligible, you can pay for the entire order with a credit card and then follow instructions from Truemed to submit the eligible portion to your HSA/FSA administrator for reimbursement.

Can I use my HSA/FSA at Awara?

Yes, select Truemed as your payment option at checkout and use your HSA or FSA card like any other credit card.

Why is only part of my mattress eligible for reimbursement?

Mattresses are considered partially eligible, meaning you can only get reimbursed for the cost of health-related advanced features beyond the cost of a basic mattress. To learn more, click here. https://help.truemed.com/en/articles/3741889

Can I use my regular credit card at checkout?

Yes, Truemed will provide instructions on how to submit for reimbursement from your HSA/FSA administrator.

What if my HSA/FSA payment is declined?

If your HSA/FSA payment doesn’t go through, you can still complete your purchase using a credit or debit card. Contact your plan administrator for more information on why the payment was declined.

Are there any fees associated with using Truemed’s services?

There is no cost when shopping with a Truemed partner merchant

Furniture Details

What kind of bed frame do I need with my new Awara mattress?

Awara works with any base that has a solid foundation. We recommend placing the mattress on a suitable basic frame - including a slatted platform or adjustable frame - or a box spring. Ideally, the mattress is raised off of the floor for maximum breathability and support. If you’re interested in upgrading your bed frame, we’ve designed 3 unique bed frames to suit your needs and budget. (Our Queen size platform bed frame is just $400.)
