Aslan 10" GEL Memory Foam vs Tuft & Needle Nod

The Aslan mattress is a medium-firm (comfortable, yet supportive) sleep system comprised of the latest in sleep technology.

The Nod mattress offers a medium firmness, so it's perfectly in the middle in terms of feel. It's soft to the touch, but very supportive when you lay out on the surface as it responds to your weight.

The Aslan Mattress is the result of 11+ years being involved specifically in the online mattress industry. Eleven hard, yet exciting years of designing, creating, and testing (at 3rd party labs) dozens of mattress prototypes and materials. It is the very best combination of the newest sleep technologies on the market offered at a very fair and sensible price. Three layers of state-of-the-art foam:

• 2" GEL Infused Phase Change Memory Foam
• 1.5" Next Generation Memory Foam
• 6.5" Active Suppot Foam.

Exclusive to Amazon, the Nod is 100% polyurethane foam and not comprised of their proprietary T&N Adaptive foam. It has 2 layers of construction:

• 2.5" Comfort Layer of Responsive Foam
• 5.5" Supportive Base Layer.

You will only find high quality CertiPUR-US®, American made foam in our mattresses. Foam selected for the Aslan mattress is considered a specialty foam, very durable, and contains the latest visco-elastic and cooling technologies, like Phase Change Material (originally developed for space suits), GEL, and advanced air flow - features that are necessary to regulate sleeping temperature and help you be cooler at night.

The foam used in the Nod mattress is an open-celled polyurethane foam that we engineered to have the benefits of memory foam's pressure relief and latex's support, without their drawbacks (like memory foam's sinking and sleeping hot, and latex's lack of pressure relief). That said, both memory and synthetic latex foams are subsets of polyurethane foam.

Our foam has been pressure mapped to ensure the layers of foam perform well for all sleeping positions and body types.

Being comfortable isn't all about a soft top layer, we designed our mattress to give you the support you need for a restful night's sleep.

Our top layer of memory foam combines 3 cooling technologies; phase change material, open-cell viscoelastic and beaded gel-foam technology - providing improved temperature regulation and reduced pressure points.

We chose an open-cell foam which allows air to freely flow throughout the night, overcoming foam's reputation for sleeping hot.

The Next Generation Memory Foam provides a little bounce, quick rebound, and exceptional durability. This layer has a very high pressure relieving index and is the perfect transition (for all body types) to the Active Support foam.
The Active Support foam is a high quality, tried and true durable support foam that holds its physical properties over time and is designed to correctly align your spine for an ideal sleep position.

We designed our top layer to be adaptive without feeling like quicksand - cradling your pressure points and meeting you where you are.

The Aslan Mattress features a soft knit, breathable cover that is designed to prevent heat buildup in the mattress. It is made in the USA and does not contain chemical fire retardents. Spot clean only.

The Nod Mattress cover is a viscose/polyester blend.
