Firmness Info
The Vaya Mattress is designed to work with all sleeper types and sizes.
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
Instead of using complicated layers, the Vaya Mattress features the perfect blend of just two light and fresh Vaya Foams:
  • Vaya Comfort Foam
  • Vaya Base Foam.
Other mattress brands stuff their beds with extra features to justify higher prices. So by keeping things simple, we can offer better sleep for less.
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
Cool Comfort with Bounce
Breathable Vaya Comfort Foam keeps you cool and contours to your body for pure comfort. The materials are naturally hypoallergenic and certified by CertiPUR-US.
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
Pressure-Relieving Support
Vaya Base Foam provides stable support that relieves pain-causing pressure points.
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
Our Vaya Comfort Foam has an open-cell design. It contours to your body for pure comfort and wicks away warm air to keep you cool. Unlike traditional memory foam, you won't feel trapped in.
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
Without support, comfort won't last long. The Vaya Base Foam layer supports and maintains your body's proper alignment.
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
The plush Vaya cover is delightfully soft and ultra-breathable to prevent overheating.
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.
