Brooklyn Bedding Plank Firm vs Tuft & Needle Essential Original

Our dual comfort design offers two variations: the top side of the mattress is firm; the bottom side is ultra-firm, allowing for an easily flippable, highly customizable sleep.

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.

Inspired by the minimalist approach to sleep in the Far East, the Plank is the firmest, flattest, healthiest way to sleep. It has 4 layers of construction:

1. Optional: GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover (Extra Firm Side)
2. .75” Quilted Top
3. 6” High-Density Base Foam
4. 2” Supreme Response Comfort Foam
5. .75” Quilted Bottom
6. Optional: GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover (Firm Side)

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.

Engineered to reduce pressure on your circulatory system the Plank provides for better blood flow - and better lower back support, compelling you to inhale more oxygen while you snooze.

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.

The Plank offers a firmer, flatter, flippable surface for a neutral spine position that's better for your back and posture overall.

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.

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.

A 2" layer of our firmest transitional TitanFlex™ foam adds deep compression support.
A 7" high density base foam ensures durability and stability for the life of your bed.

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.

The flippable design of the Plank allows you to choose your ideal firmness level: a .75" quilted top layer, patterned with continuous stitching, ensures zero loft for an ultra-firm sleep experience - or, flip the mattress, and a 1.5" quilted layer, patterned with tack-and-jump stitching, creates minimal loft for a firm sleep experience.

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.
