Firmness Info

The 6" Dreamfoam Essential is the firmest option, rated a 7 to 9 on the firmness scale. The 8" Dreamfoam Essential is firm-medium (6 to 8 on the firmness scale), the 10" Dreamfoam Essential a medium-firm (5 to 7 on the firmness scale), the 12" a medium (4 to 6 on the firmness scale) and the 14" a medium-soft (3 to 5 on the firmness scale).

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.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The Dreamfoam Essential mattress is designed for an elevated sleep experience at an everyday price. Two layers of construction:

  • 2" Gel-Swirl Memory Foam
  • 4" High-Density Base Support Foam
Note: Prices and construction based on the Firm 6" model.

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).

Comfort Info

Variable mattress depths, available in both traditional and non-traditional sizes (including RV sizes), make this the perfect solution for every type of sleeper.

  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.
Support Info

The Dreamfoam Essential mattress delivers enhanced contouring and cooling with exceptional pressure point relief.

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.

Comfort Specs

Gel swirl memory foam delivers added cooling.
Open cell technology in each foam layer provides increased airflow and breathability.

  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.
Support Specs

A top layer of quality memory foam delivers a more responsive sleep experience.
A 4" high-density foundation gives the mattress structural firmness as well as a durable core.

  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.
Fabric Specs

An environmentally-friendly Nano Stain Terminator finish guards against splashes, spills and permanent stains.

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.
