Firmness Info

Generally speaking, we describe both of our mattresses as medium-firm in feel. However, we also understand even that description can be subjective. Two people sleeping on the same mattress might have contrasting opinions - it could be too soft, too firm, or just right. That's why we offer our 100-night sleep trial to ensure every person has the opportunity to decide if the Tuft & Needle mattress is the right fit for them, and return it if it's not.

Cover
Moisture wicking, cool to the touch hand-quilted cover combines HydroCool® technology, plus Celliant® fiber to create a cool and fast drying sleep surface that improves your overall well-being every night.
Our ultra plush Mint® Mattress cover is made with polyester and viscose. It has a super soft, cozy touch and adds just a hint of cushion. Viscose is commonly known as rayon and is used in clothing. 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.

Ergonomic Handles
Comfort
Sleep Cool and Breezy Sleep easy with a heat-conductive copper-infused comfort foam, layered with innerspring coils and Sleep Recovery Technology™ for a cool-to-the-touch sensation. Stay cool throughout the night
1. More Graphite 30% extra graphite maximizes cooling, sweeping 50% more heat away from the body. 2. Higher Quality Gel Upgraded Ceramic Gel absorbs 5 times more heat than conventional blue-gel products. 3. Open Cell Technology Our open-cell foam technology is designed to allow air to flow freely through the mattress, increasing breathability. 1. Comfy Top Layer We optimized the top layer of Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam to be a progressive combination of comfy and pressure relieving. 2. Cozy Cover A new thick, knit cover adds durability and coziness. 3. Pressure Relief Our progressive support and super comfortable top layers are designed to remove pressure points and bring relief.
Support
Full Support from Edge to Edge Extra strong edge coils allow for enhanced edge support along the perimeter of the mattress. Supportive edges reduce roll-off
The three layers in the Mint® Mattress work together to provide remarkable support that you'll find comfortable immediately as well as throughout the night. We increased the softness of the top layer for better pressure relief, increased the firmness of the bottom support layer (for edge support), and added a middle transitional layer to keep you from "bottoming" out. 1. Progressive Support Ordering our layers in a gradual firmness combines comfort and support. The more you push, the more it pushes back to meet you. 2. More Gel Beads 30% more gel beads in our second layer add cushion-like support. 3. More Edge Support Our improved, firmer base layer adds comfortable edge support.
