BedInABox Essential vs Bestselling Tuft & Needle Mint

Generally speaking, we describe both of our mattresses as medium-firm in feel. However, we also understand even that description can be subjective. Two people sleeping on the same mattress might have contrasting opinions - it could be too soft, too firm, or just right. That's why we offer our 100-night sleep trial to ensure every person has the opportunity to decide if the Tuft & Needle mattress is the right fit for them, and return it if it's not.

The 9" PacBed Original is back and better than ever! Leaner and lighter than the 11" version, the PacBed Lite still offers the great comfort and support that you expect from the PacBed, but at a lighter price. A 2-layer construction:

• 3" 3lb Density CoolRest® Advanced Gel-Infused Memory Foam
• 6" 2lb Density High Quality Support Foam
• Smooth Knit Cover.

Our Tuft & Needle Mattress is the original, universally comfortable mattress that changed an entire industry. Mint® is everything that makes the original great, with exciting new features:

• 3" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.5lb density) infused with ceramic gel
• 2" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.0lb density) infused with graphite
• 6.5" High-density polyurethane foam foundation (1.8lb density)
• Four sides of edge support (1.8lb density).

Support foam created to work in tandem with our CoolRest® Gel memory foam and provide perfect support for consistent and long lasting comfort.

1. More Graphite
   30% extra graphite maximizes cooling, sweeping 50% more heat away from the body.
   2. Higher Quality Gel
   Upgraded Ceramic Gel absorbs 5 times more heat than conventional blue-gel products.
   3. Open Cell Technology
   Our open-cell foam technology is designed to allow air to flow freely through the mattress, increasing breathability.

High quality support foam designed to support and correctly align your spine so you can sleep better with less tossing and turning.

The three layers in the Mint® Mattress work together to provide remarkable support that you'll find comfortable immediately as well as throughout the night. We increased the softness of the top layer for better pressure relief, increased the firmness of the bottom support layer (for edge support), and added a middle transitional layer to keep you from "bottoming" out.

Open cell structure increases air flow, contributing to a cooler sleep.
3 lb density memory foam rebounds (takes it shape) quicker making it easier to change positions.

1. Comfy Top Layer
   We optimized the top layer of Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam to be a progressive combination of comfy and pressure relieving.
   2. Cozy Cover
   A new thick, knit cover adds durability and coziness.
   3. Pressure Relief
   Our progressive support and super comfortable top layers are designed to remove pressure points and bring relief.

CoolRest® advanced gel-infused memory foam perfectly contours to your body providing improved pressure relief to reduce tossing and turning.

1. Progressive Support
   Ordering our layers in a gradual firmness combines comfort and support. The more you push, the more it pushes back to meet you.
   2. More Gel Beads
   30% more gel beads in our second layer add cushion-like support.
   3. More Edge Support
   Our improved, firmer base layer adds comfortable edge support.

Soft polyester knit cover for comfort and stretch, perfect for memory foam. Polyester fabrics and fibers are incredibly strong and durable, resists abrasion and dries quickly. Breathable for better temperature control. Accentuates the memory foam feel.

Our ultra plush Mint® Mattress cover is made with polyester and viscose. It has a super soft, cozy touch and adds just a hint of cushion. Viscose is commonly known as rayon and is used in clothing. 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.
