Firmness Info

Plush comfort with firm support. The Nolah Signature is a soft/medium on the firmness scale, rated a 4-5 out of 10.

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 Nolah Signature has 75% more premium pressure-relieving AirFoam™️ than the Original 10" mattress, and has the following 4 layers:

  • 2.5" Plush Contouring Nolah AirFoam™
  • 1.5" Deep and Supportive High-Resilience Foam
  • 1" Firm Pressure-Relieving Nolah AirFoam™
  • 7" Reinforced High-Density Core Foundation Foam.

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 Signature 12" mattress offers the same ground-breaking benefits as the Original, but with next-generation technology and the added luxury of a second AirFoam™️ layer. This all-in-one mattress sleeps cool, provides unbeatable pressure relief, and withstands years of wear and tear. It makes memory foam mattresses look and feel outdated.

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

This luxury mattress relieves pressure on the neck, hips, and shoulders to reduce nightly aches and pains while providing perfect spinal alignment and lumbar support.

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

Nolah AirFoam™ is guaranteed to sleep cooler than memory foam. The generous 2.5" comfort layer keeps you cool.

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 plush AirFoam™ top layer provides unbeatable pressure relief and contours perfectly to your body without trapping you "in the mattress" like memory foam.
High-resilience foam in the second layer is stronger and more durable than memory foam and provides a healthy and responsive bounce to keep you sound asleep all night.
The firmer AirFoam™ used in the third layer elevates pressure relief. Without pressure points on your neck, hips, and shoulders, lying in bed will feel like floating on a cloud.
The base reinforces the support and contouring of the upper layers.

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

Luxurious Organic Cotton Cover
When only the purest and best is good enough, Nolah turned to soft luxurious organic cotton. This signature, diamond-patterned, organic cotton cover is unbleached and free from harsh chemicals. It stays cool, is breathable, and wicks away moisture to keep you comfortable all night. It comes in an aesthetically-pleasing ivory color.
The border cover is made with premium four-way knitted poly-yarns, this cover was designed for durability. The bottom cover features a non-skid fabric to ensure the mattress doesn't move on the bed frame.

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.
