Firmness Info

Both MOLECULE mattresses are considered to be medium to medium-firm.

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

All the essential features at an affordable price. Featuring a 3 layer construction:

  • 2" RestoreFLO™ layer (Density: 2.5lbs, ILD: 9)
  • 3" RecoveryFLO™ layer (Density: 1.65lbs, ILD: 40)
  • 7" ContourFLO™ layer (Density: 1.5lbs, ILD: 35).

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

Our engineers set out to develop the perfect recovery-focused mattress at an affordable price that still incorporates the key elements of Air-Engineering that sets MOLECULE apart. The MOLECULE 1 is the perfect combination of value and temperature-regulating features. Furthermore, Molecule mattresses are fabricated virtually emissions-free. Variable Pressure Foaming VPF™ is the most environmentally-friendly foam manufacturing process.

  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

An ample seven inches of firm support foam in the base layer fosters healthy spine alignment.

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

Proprietary foam (RestoreFLO™) has enhanced and consistent airflow properties, even when compressed. The foam is infused with gel micro beads for ideal temperature and moisture management. Scientifically tested for long-lasting durability and comfort.

  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

RestoreFLO™: Features exceptional pressure relief.
RecoveryFLO™: Precision-contoured 3D geometric surface provides targeted, self-adjusting support for different parts of the body. A 3-Zone dynamic response layer with smaller diamond zones for a softer feel around the head and feet and larger hexagon zones in the center designed for additional support and pressure relief in the lumbar region.

  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

Our advanced cover material features a unique combination of heat and moisture wicking technologies to further regulate the microclimate between your body and the sleep surface. As your body temperature changes throughout the night, an embedded temperature sensitive polymer, responds dynamically, adjusting evaporation and cooling. Cover is 98% Polyester, 2% Lycra.

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.
