Helix Dusk vs Tuft & Needle Nod

Medium feel top of the bed you need - not too firm, not too soft. Our most common feel choice. Extra support - best for back and stomach sleepers, or side sleepers with larger body types. A 4-7 on the firmness scale.

The Nod mattress offers a medium firmness, so it's perfectly in the middle in terms of feel. It's soft to the touch, but very supportive when you lay out on the surface as it responds to your weight.

The Dusk offers extra support and a medium feel, it has four layers of construction:

• Cover: Helix Two Touch Design
• Comfort Layer: Helix Dynamic Foam (Density: 2.45 PCF)
• Transition Layer: High-Grade Polyfoam
• Body Shape Layer: 6" Wrapped Coils
• Base Layer: DuraDense Foam.

Exclusive to Amazon, the Nod is 100% polyurethane foam and not comprised of their proprietary T&N Adaptive foam. It has 2 layers of construction:

• 2.5" Comfort Layer of Responsive Foam
• 5.5" Supportive Base Layer.

The foam used in the Nod mattress is an open-celled polyurethane foam that we engineered to have the benefits of memory foam's pressure relief and latex's support, without their drawbacks (like memory foam's sinking and sleeping hot, and latex's lack of pressure relief). That said, both memory and synthetic latex foams are subsets of polyurethane foam.

Specially designed using proprietary Helix Dynamic Foam to react to your body shape and aid recovery.
Density of the top and middle layers optimized to give you extra support based on your body type.

Being comfortable isn't all about a soft top layer, we designed our mattress to give you the support you need for a restful night's sleep.

Our special latex-foam hybrid alternative, designed to react and contour to your body.

We chose an open-cell foam which allows air to freely flow throughout the night, overcoming foam's reputation for sleeping hot.

High-Grade Polyfoam
Providing ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a medium IFD to match your body type. Extra support.
Wrapped Coils
Hundreds of individual coils help to cradle your body while also limiting motion transfer.
Edge Support
Each mattress has an individually wrapped spring unit with a reinforced perimeter. This means your mattress will reduce that roll-off feeling and will keep its shape more while sitting on the edge of the bed. Our technology is proven to be substantially better than all foam options.

We designed our top layer to be adaptive without feeling like quicksand - cradling your pressure points and meeting you where you are.

Helix Two Touch Design
Each mattress comes with a top cover layer with stretch and a soft touch as well as a lower cover layer for airflow and breathability. Top cover - 100% soft polyester. Lower cover - Jersey knit fabric with woven fire barrier.
Upgrade to ultra cool knit cover for cooler nights (available at checkout). This Ultra-Cool Cover is designed using phase change material to keep your body cool when you sleep. Simply zip on the Ultra-Cool Cover in place of your standard cover for quick and easy use.

The Nod Mattress cover is a viscose/polyester blend.
