Firmness Info

Three zones accommodate body's different weights and curves, reducing pressure and aligning body.

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

The Pain-Fighting, Multi-Patented Reinvention of the Mattress. A two-layer zoned design:

  • 3" Performance Layer:
    Head and Shoulder Region: LEVELsoft™ Foam
    Torso Region: LEVELfirm™ Foam
    Hip and Leg Region: LEVELmid™ Foam
  • 7" High Resilience Polyurethane Foam
  • Premium Fabric 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

Research-tested in IRB-approved clinical trials, our design's unique features support your body's natural curves and provide cloud-like comfort. Level's patented design reduces compression of the soft tissues which improves blood flow. Experience relief from hip and shoulder pressure to help you stay asleep longer and sleep deeper throughout the night.

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

Clinically Tested and Proven to Alleviate Pain
Working with the country's top sleep researchers, Level's design was proven effective in reducing pain and improving sleep. If you don't feel the Level difference, get your money back.

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, non-toxic, and highly durable foams work together to support and cushion.

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

The top zone of the three inch performance layer is LEVELsoft foam which absorbs your shoulder, reducing pressure and pain. The middle zone is LEVELfirm foam which comfortably supports your lower back and side, reducing back pain. The lower zone is LEVELmedium foam which absorbs and supports your hips, aligning them with your spine and fighting hip pain.

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

A rich, premium, thick, durable fabric cover offering "Recoveree" 4-way stretch technology that maximizes comfort and breathability.

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.
