Side Sleepers love Tuft & Needle

When we set out building mattresses all those years ago, we were confident that customers would love what we made. What we didn’t expect were all the listicle rankings we’d find ourselves on.

Tuft & Needle mattresses have been listed as great for hot sleepers, back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and even light sleepers (due to the reduced motion transfer benefit of our mattresses). But one category Tuft & Needle seems to be the highest ranked in time after time is for side sleepers. And it’s not just the mattresses—our pillows get a whole lotta love, too.

So if you’re a side sleeper, this roundup has your name on it.
