Firmness Info

Available in Plush (2.5-3), Medium (4-4.5) or Luxury Firm (7.5-8). Does your partner like different types of mattress firmness than you? Order the Sparrow Signature Hybrid in King and Cal King sizes and get a different firmness on each side. Keep one side firm and the other plush, or mix a plush side with a medium. With the Sparrow Signature Hybrid mattress, during or after your sleep trial, you can swap out the inner layer of foam to adjust its firmness without needing to get a whole new mattress.

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

A five layer construction:

  • 2" Quilted THERMIC® phase change cover & 4 lb. Memory Foam
  • 3" Energex™ Temperature Responsive Foam (3 lb.)
  • 1" SmartFlow Support Foam (1.5 lb.)
  • 6" Reinforced Edge Coil Support Pocketed Coils
  • 1" Base Support Foam (3 lb.)

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

Unzip the sides of this mattress to exchange the inner foam layer for a new one that's more firm, softer, or if you just want to replace it (which extends the life of your mattress).

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

Energex™ foam is a cutting-edge foam layer that fully supports your body with the pressure relief of memory foam, and the responsiveness and durability of latex. This combines with the support of high quality individual coils with extra edge support.

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

The top layer is temperature responsive, highly adaptive, durable, and breathable specifically designed to energize in response to body heat.
We use our SmartFlow air flow system with punched foams and breathable layers to achieve maximum air flow.

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

The mattress (formerly called the Alexander Signature Hybrid Mattress) utilizes a very durable individually pocketed coil unit with edge support coils all around the perimeter. This provides a movement-free sleep surface and supports the back perfectly.

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

A soft quilted, luxurious top layer of fabric greets you and provides a cool, comfy surface. This Thermic Phase Change Cooling fabric will help your body regulate its ideal sleeping temperature through the seasons.

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.
