Firmness Info
Novosbed mattresses are available in 3 firmness levels, and all are covered by our Perfect Firmness Guarantee, 120 night sleep trial, and 15 year warranty. Soft: Designed for contouring and plushness without that "quicksand" feeling. Medium: Designed to offer the perfect balance of support and plush-comfort and Firm: Designed to provide firm, comfortable support, with minimal sink-in.
* Not quite right? Call Novosbed and they'll send you a Comfort+ kit for free. Unzip the mattress top cover and lay the Comfort+ layer on top. Zip the Comfort+ extender to the base and then to the top cover. Your Novosbed is softer or firmer, as needed. The whole process usually takes less than 2 minutes.
We make one model of mattress that is designed to be universally comfortable and medium firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. We like to describe it as firm enough to be supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable!
We've designed our foam to work with those who like soft mattresses as well as those who like firm, so we encourage everyone to give us a try regardless of your usual preference. If you're not 100% satisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
3 layers of construction:
  • Premium Airflow Gel Foam
  • Premium Memory Foam
  • Premium Support Foam
NB: The composition and thicknesses vary based on selected firmness.
Two-layer blended foam designed by and proprietary to Tuft & Needle:
  • The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties. The density is about 2.8 lbs/cubic ft.
  • The support foam layer is 7" of a high-density poly-foam. The density is about 1.8 lbs/cubic ft.
Comfort Info
InterLock Blue™ Core Cover
Knitted with advanced 2-way stretch, InterLock Blue™ adds a second layer of protection for the foam core, and a second layer of moisture guard for added coolness and comfort.
Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress.
Heat Wicking
Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body.
Breathable
With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress.
No More Quicksand
Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply.
Support Info
2 to 3" Premium Memory Foam
Perfect comfort and pressure relief, this layer adds 3 luxurious inches of plush support memory foam to the heart of your Novosbed.
Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot.
Comfort Specs
2" Premium Airflow Gel Foam
A highly breathable gel memory foam for ultra-luxurious comfort with heat dissipation far superior to that of traditional memory foams.
Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam
We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.
Support Specs
Like billions of tiny independent cushion pocket-coil springs, this premium support foam layer supports sleepers while eliminating motion transfer during the night.
Supportive Base Layer
Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress.
Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.
Fabric Specs
Ultra-soft, Moisture-wicking, Washable Cover
Made from eco-friendly Tencel® fabric, the luxurious Novosbed top cover draws moisture away from your body for a cool, dry night. It is also removable and machine-washable.
Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.
