Materials & Construction

  • T&N Adaptive® foam - Our signature foam is more responsive than memory foam* while offering the same amount of pressure relief—so you get the contouring, cradled feeling without getting stuck. And that sticky, hot feeling? No thanks. We infused our foam with cooling gel and heat-conducting graphite to keep you cool, and very comfortable, all night long.
*Comparing a mattress with standard memory foam of similar density in the place of T&N Adaptive® foam.
  • Individually-Wrapped Coils - Up to 1000** Individually-Wrapped Coils provide durability and motion control so sharing the bed feels less like sharing every move.
**Refers to King/Cal King coil count.
  • Cooling Cover - Hate sleeping hot? Our cover paired with our breathable T&N Adaptive® foam keeps you up to 5 degrees cooler.***
***Compared to standard memory foam of a similar density in the place of T&N Adaptive® foam within a mattress.

Frequently asked

What firmness level is the Essential Signature Hybrid Mattress?

The Essential Signature Hybrid is a Medium Firm feel for balanced support with a little extra stability that works well for all sleepers.

How tall is the Essential Hybrid Mattress?

The Essential Hybrid is 10” in profile.

What is T&N Adaptive® foam?

Our signature foam provides 25% more airflow and 35% more responsivity than memory foam, while offering the same amount of pressure relief. It stays breathable with an open-celled structure plus heat-conducting graphite and cooling gel additives. Paired with our Cooling Cover, it helps make the mattress up to 5 degrees cooler.
*Comparing a mattress with standard memory foam of similar density in the place of T&N Adaptive® foam.

How can I choose the right T&N firmness level?

Your sleep position is the best place to start:

  • Side Sleepers: Usually love Medium or Plush options because they offer extra cushioning on the shoulders and hips.
  • Back and Stomach Sleepers: Often do best with a Firm feel that keeps the body supported and comfortable.
  • Combination Sleepers: A Medium or Medium Firm feel is often the sweet spot, giving you a blend of cushioning and support as you change positions throughout the night

The best firmness comes down to how you sleep, what feels comfortable to you, and whether you're sharing the bed with someone who has their own sleep opinions (we know the struggle). As a general rule:

  • Like a little more support and less sink? A Firm feel is often a great fit for back and stomach sleepers.
  • Prefer more cushioning and pressure relief? A Medium or Plush feel can provide extra comfort around your shoulders and hips.

What is the difference between a Hybrid and Foam mattress?

The main difference between a Hybrid and All Foam Mattress is the materials used in their construction. Foam Mattresses are entirely made with layers of foam, while Hybrid Mattresses combine foam layers with coils

  • Hybrid Mattresses feature an individually wrapped coil system at the bottom of the mattress for enhanced motion control and durability with pressure relieving foams on top for breathability.
  • All Foam Mattresses are made of entirely foam layers supported by a durable Base Foam at the bottom of the mattress for contouring support and pressure relief on shoulders and hips.

Does Tuft & Needle use fiberglass in its mattresses?

No. Our mattresses are all free of fiberglass.

What materials are used in the mattress fire barrier?

The mattress includes a fire-resistant barrier sewn into the top panel, made from rayon fibers treated with ammonium phosphate to help meet flammability standards.

Do I need a box spring?

Nope. Your mattress doesn't need a box spring, but it does need a solid, supportive foundation like a platform bed, slatted frame, or adjustable base.

Do I need to flip or rotate my mattress?

No, you don't need to flip your mattress. A quick rotation every six months is all we recommend for even wear. Just keep the patterned side facing up and you're good to go.

How long can the mattress stay boxed?

It shouldn't stay boxed for more than 3-4 weeks; however, we recommend unboxing and setting up your Tuft & Needle mattress as soon as it arrives. The longer a mattress stays compressed, the more stress it can put on the foam. If you leave it boxed for more than a week, don't worry. It may just take a little longer to fully expand once unboxed, but you can still start sleeping on it within 2-3 hours of setup. Life happens, we get it.

Really Comfortable Upgrade

I’ve been really enjoying the Tuft and Needle essential hybrid mattress. I was coming from a traditional spring mattress, so this definitely feels like an upgrade and comfort. It still feels supportive, but it has a little more give to it and just feels more comfortable overall. I also have an adjustable base, and the mattress works really well with it. It moves easily into every position without feeling stiff or like it’s fighting the base. One thing I didn’t really think about beforehand is how nicely my sheets fit on it. They hug the mattress really neatly and stay in place well. It also sleeps surprisingly cool, and even with the coils inside, I haven’t noticed any squeaking or noise when moving around. Overall, it’s been very comfortable and easy to get used to, especially coming from a more traditional mattress.

Customers overwhelmingly praise this mattress for exceptional comfort and sleep quality, with most describing it as incredibly soft yet supportive. Many report waking refreshed with no body aches, and several mention chronic hip or shoulder pain has disappeared. Reviewers consistently highlight the balanced medium-firm feel that works well for side and back sleepers across diverse body types. The mattress accommodates different weights without sacrificing cushioning. A few note the edges feel slightly soft, though this rarely impacts overall satisfaction. Most customers are repeat buyers, underscoring long-term loyalty and sustained nightly comfort.
