Firmness Info

The Kiwi mattress is a firm yet contouring hybrid mattress. Ideal for growing children, or adults looking for an affordable option. The two-sided option repeats the layers on both sides of the springs, both sides having the same feel and firmness. This option extends the life of your mattress but is currently only available by contacting their customer service team.

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 Kiwi mattress is a safe, healthy and affordable hybrid latex option, with a 2 layer construction:

  • GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton quilted cover
  • 1" GOTS-Certified Organic wool batting
  • 2" GOLS-Certified Dunlop latex (Density: 65, ILD: 22-24)
  • 8" Zoned Pocketed Coil Spring Designed & Manufactured by My Green Mattress, Inc.
For a small additional cost a two-sided (flippable) mattress is available which has the latex and wool layers on both sides.

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

The GOTS-certified organic wool batting is sourced from sheep that are allowed to graze freely in organic pastures. The wool acts as the only flame retardant, and is hypoallergenic, temperature regulating, and 100% biodegradable.

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

Tighter coils along the edges of the mattress provide a firmer seating edge. With proper support across the entire mattress you can sleep from edge to edge and top to bottom. Steel springs will last up to 4 times longer than a foam support edge.

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

The breathable and hypoallergenic latex provides a naturally cool sleep that is dust-mite, mold, and mildew resistant.

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

Individual 13 3/4 gauge coils react to body shape and weight to keep pressure off your bones and joints. Each fabric-encased coil moves independently to allow deep sleep even when your partner
Latex is supportive and alleviates pressure points that can cause stiffness, pain, tossing and turning.

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

Wrapped in 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton fabric. This soft, durable cotton is a healthy alternative to synthetic fabrics and is free from polyester fibers and pesticides.

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.
