Firmness Info

The layers of memory foam and support foam provide a medium soft feel our customers have come to love so you will sleep cool and comfortable right out of the box!

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

Enjoy the cooling comfort of the Azul memory foam mattress. A 3-layer construction:

  • 3" 3lb Density CoolRest® Memory Foam Infused with Liquid Gel
  • 2" Pluralux Transitional Foam
  • 6" 2lb Density Sure Align Support Foam
  • Smooth Knit Cover.

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

This American-made mattress features CoolRest® Adaptive, a functional finish, that keeps you cool and comfortable by infusing "smart" thermocules into the cover and top layer of the memory foam. This phase-changing technology regulates body temperature by pulling heat away from your body. Not only does it keep a warm sleeper comfortable, but these "smart" thermocules also add warmth back to the sleeper, for those who sleep a little cooler.

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

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

Open cell memory foam increases air flow, contributing to a cooler sleep.

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

Memory foam infused with liquid gel and CoolRest® adaptive functional finish to cool, contour, and cradle all body types no matter what position you sleep in.
The transitional foam helps maintain the cushioning of the memory foam layer while slowly building support. Supports the most recessed parts of the body (such as the lumbar) and aides in relieving pressure points for less tossing and turning.
Sure Align support foam works in tandem with transitional foam to support body weight and align the spine.

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

Super soft polyester knit cover designed specifically for memory foam infused with CoolRest® Adaptive, a functional finish, to help you sleep cooler. CoolRest® Adaptive phase-changing material uses microscopic capsules embedded in the cover to effectively balance temperature between the sleeper and the mattress. Polyester fabrics and fibers are incredibly strong and durable, resists abrasion and dries quickly. Breathable cover allows the cooling benefits of the CoolRest® Adaptive finish in the memory foam to come through.

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.
