Firmness Info

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

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.

The Hybrid is a 6-layer mattress. The hybrid mattress is made with Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (with graphite + ceramic gel), as well as a quilted, breathable memory foam (with carbon fiber + graphite), and high quality pocketed springs. These materials combine to create Tuft & Needle's most plush and breathable mattress yet!

Comfort Info

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.

Graphite and gel-beads work to draw away heat all night long, channeling it through breathable, open-cell foam and airy springs. Our hydrophilic foams dissipate moisture, even on hot summer nights.

Support Info

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.

The responsive support of springs meets the long-lasting comfort of our Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam in our most supportive mattress yet. We took the familiar bounce of traditional design and wrapped it in an ultra-luxurious plush pillow top filled with carbon fiber-infused foam for extended durability.
Unlike all-foam mattresses, the Tuft & Needle Hybrid has a more reactive, energetic surface thanks to a tempered spring system.

Comfort Specs

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.

Our proprietary Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam is breathable and long-lasting, giving you just enough soft without the sink to stay aligned all night.
Graphite conducts heat away from you quickly and efficiently as you sleep to prevent you from waking up hot and sweaty.
Cooling gel beads wick away heat and help create gradual support as they draw together under your pressure points.

Support Specs

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.

Individually pocketed springs respond to your unique pressure points and provide a subtle, lively bounce - without transferring your partner's every move to your side or waking you up to squeaky springs.
Cooling gel beads wick away heat and help create gradual support as they draw together under your pressure points.

Fabric Specs

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.

Plush, breathable cover
Our reinforced, soft knit cover is both durable and breathable, letting air flow freely while providing a comfy, cushioned feel.
