Tuft & Needle Nod vs Amerisleep AS1

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 AS1 is our firmest mattress, it offers gentle-but-firm support that stays cool all night. It's a great choice for back and stomach sleepers who like extra support.

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.

Two layer construction:

• Bio-Pur® foam
• Bio-Core® foam support layer
• Refresh Cooling Cover.

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 is also better than traditional memory foam because it recovers its shape faster. With a typical foam mattress, you often wind up "stuck" when you change positions but the mattress is still holding your previous shape. That's because it takes around 60 seconds for the foam to bounce back.
Ours bounces back in just four seconds, so as you move at night your mattress keeps up with you, providing superior comfort.

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.

Bio-Core foam support layer won't sag even after decades of use. And, like our Bio-Pur foam, it's partially made from plants instead of petroleum so it's eco-friendly.

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

Our Bio-Pur® foam is five times more breathable than traditional memory foam, because of its advanced open-cell structure. It wicks away heat while you sleep and can help keep you cool and comfortable.

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

Bio-Pur® breathes and conforms to your body. When you lie down, you'll feel Bio-Pur® relieve your pressure points.

The Nod Mattress cover is a viscose/polyester blend.

Refresh Cooling Cover
The Refresh Cover draws heat from your skin for a delightfully cool-to-the-touch feel. On average, your sleeping surface will stay 7 degrees cooler over an eight-hour night of rest compared to a traditional 100% polyester cover. This scientifically engineered fabric uses minerals to help convert your natural body heat into far infrared energy. This type of energy increases blood circulation to help speed up muscle recovery and improve quality of sleep.
