Firmness Info

3-inch Purple® grid layer is optimal for sleep position changers. Perfect balance of soft and firm for couples with mixed mattress-feel preferences who share the same bed.

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 Sweet Spot. The zero-compromise compromise. Everybody gets what they want.

  • 3" Smart Comfort Grid™: Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ with non-toxic polyethylene copolymer non-stick coating
  • 7.5" Responsive Support Coils: Individually fabric-encased steel coils
  • Polyurethane Foam: Transition layer: 0.5", 2.0 density layer. Base layer: 1", 2.0 density layer. Encasing edge-support layer: 0.5", 2.0 density layer.

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 Smart Comfort Grid™ is crafted from high-quality Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ that's made proudly in the U.S.A. This ultra-durable, non-toxic material never breaks down, so you stay nice and comfy now and forevermore.
Temperature-neutral so you sleep cool.

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

The most scientifically advanced mattress in the world. Designed to intelligently adapt to your body's unique pressure points for superior, personalized comfort.

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

Purple® Smart Comfort Grid™
Personalized comfort and support that adapts to your unique body type and sleep position. Allows for plenty of temperature-neutralizing air movement under and around you for consistently cool comfort all night.

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

Responsive support coils enhance the body-alignment properties of the Smart Comfort Grid™ and minimize motion transfer. It is designed to dynamically flex under pressure so your shoulders and hips are properly cradled and supported. No pressure all night. No pain come morning.

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

StretchMax Top with ultra-breathable side panels : 29% Viscose, 67% Polyester, 4% Lycra (all +/- 5%). Boasting even more stretch, the soft top material allows you to feel the full benefits of the Purple Grid, while ultra-breathable woven side panels encourage airflow.

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.
