Firmness Info

You like firm and your partner likes medium? You will love the Latex Hybrid as you can order it with the latex split on the inside to create a custom sleep environment on either side of the bed (offered in King and Cal King sizes only). The firm is a 7.5-8, the medium is rated a 4.5-5 and the plush a 3-3.5. The split allows any combination of the 3 firmnesses on each side of the mattress (plush/firm, med/firm or plush/med).
Medium is recommended for those of an average weight, who want to feel supported by the mattress, with a little give and if you are a combination sleeper (back and side sleeper). Firm is more suited for back or stomach sleepers, those who prefer a firm sleeping surface, with a plush pillow top, or if recommended by a medical professional. Plush is most suited to side sleepers, those who are under 140 lbs, and sleepers looking for pressure point relief and gentle support.

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 Owl Natural Latex Hybrid mattress features the following layers:

  • 2" Organic Stretch Knit Cotton and Joma Wool with Eco-Flex Quilting Foam Cover
  • 3" Natural Talalay Latex
  • 1" 1.5 lb. Certi-PUR Transitional Comfort Foam
  • 6" Reinforced Edge Coil Support Pocketed Coils
  • 1" 1.5lb Support Foam.
This mattress is eligible for Nest Bedding's Lifetime Renewal Exchange program. This LRE program is specifically designed to increase the lifespan of the mattress, but also to reduce waste in landfills, creating a much more eco-friendly option within the mattress industry. Your mattress will last 2-3 times longer as you will be given the opportunity to either redeem a new, free comfort layer within the 365-night trial or years after. The new comfort layer will breathe entirely new life into the mattress, extending its lifespan in the process.

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

A Natural Latex Hybrid that delivers adjustable comfort and superior sleep, naturally. Available in three comfort layers, Firm, Medium, and Soft. The Owl Natural Latex Hybrid with a zipper to allow you to get the most out of your mattress and decrease the amount of mattress waste. During your initial 365-night trial, you may exchange to another feel by simply unzipping your mattress and placing a new comfort layer inside. It's recommended that you rotate or flip your feel layer every six months to distribute wear evenly. If decreasing waste and getting more out of your mattress isn't enough, you can also opt to purchase a comfort layer from Nest Bedding in the future. This allows you to double or even triple the lifespan of your Owl Natural Latex Hybrid mattress! Furthermore, all latex is aired out in Nest Bedding's factory to allow any strong scent to dispel. Doing this helps minimize any natural scent.

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

Inside your Owl Natural Latex Hybrid mattress is a comfort layer engineered to bring gentle support and pressure relief.

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 3" OEKO-TEX® Certified Natural Talalay Latex layer is available in different firmness levels. This latex is made in the USA and utilizes a method referred to as Continuous Pour, which evenly distributes latex particles within the manufacturing process and creates the most consistent density possible.

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

Natural latex that provides an instant responsiveness to your body causing you to feel supported in all the right places.
The transitional foam layer allows your bodies weight distribution to evenly press against the surface area of the coils underneath it.
The individually wrapped coil system offers reinforced edge support allowing you to sleep edge-to-edge without the feeling of falling or rolling off the mattress.
The base foam layer is purely structural. When pressure is applied to the coil system, this layer is there to act as a buffer between your foundation and the mattress.

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

The top of this mattress features a soft pillow top design, consisting of plush organic stretch knit cotton and quilting foam.

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.
