Firmness Info
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.
50 unique firmness levels on each side (1-50 mmHg, or 'millimeters of mercury'). mmHg is how doctors measure pressure in hospital beds. This level of precision allows sleepers to find their perfect comfort level.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
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.
Solaire is a masterpiece of sleep engineering, marrying advanced firmness technology with superior comfort like no other bed.
  • Organic Cotton Pillow Top
  • 1" 5-Zone Talalay Latex
  • 2" Gel-infused Memory Foam
  • Moisture Barrier
  • Vulcanized Air Chambers
  • Power Edge Enclosure.
Comfort Info
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.
Each side of the Solaire mattress has a separate core designed with reinforced chambers. They quietly release or inflate at the touch of your remote, adjusting firmness and allowing each sleeper to find their perfect comfort level.
Support Info
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.
The Power Edge enclosure reinforces support around the perimeter. In-rail air inflator operates quietly and invisibly, so you never have to worry about hiding pumps or hoses.
Comfort Specs
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.
100% natural Talalay latex that is hypoallergenic, and cool. This works with gel-infused memory foam and the breathable organic cotton cover to promote easy airflow for a cooler night's sleep.
The moisture barrier protects internal components from bacteria growth. This ensures a healthier sleep environment and a mattress that will last for years to come.
Support Specs
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.
Talalay latex feels buoyant and responsive. Denser latex is used in the center third of the mattress which forms the 5-zone back support for maximum pressure-point relief.
Memory foam contours to your body and provides spinal support.
Multi-directional box baffle design of the vulcanized air chambers evenly supports your body from head to toe and edge to edge, regardless of the selected firmness level. Experience consistent comfort at every point.
Fabric Specs
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.
An organic cotton cover that is breathable, cool and finished with a beautiful organic gold damask trim. The pillow top layer packs in cushioning for added support and comfort. Certified organic cotton is used because it's hypoallergenic and less likely to cause irritation because it isn't treated with chemicals.
