Types of Products
Mattresses
Tuft and Needle Original:
The Original is a 10-inch thick foam model made of two proprietary foam layers for exceptional comfort and support. The top layer offers a memory foam’s resilience and plushness while enhancing comfort with its breathable properties. It contains cooling gel and wicking graphite molecules to improve air circulation and mitigate heat retention. Moreover, it also effectively absorbs motion to support co-sleeping with partners, kids, and pets.
If you really want one of these you can get it delivered to your door in a couple of days.
Next is the 7-inch support layer made of high-density foam to add durability and stability to the entire structure. It also prevents premature sagging and indentations for long-lasting use.
The mattress is wrapped in a super cool polyester cover for improved airflow, making the sleep area suitable for hot sleepers.

- good back support

It offers all the goodness of Tuft and Needle Original but takes it to a whole new level with an additional 1-inch foam layer and all-natural cooling technology.
The 12-inch, all-foam has a medium comfort level to support heavyweight side sleepers. While this is thicker, it’s softer and breathier for a luxurious sleep time.
The mattress top features 3-inches of patented Adaptive foam for resilience, bounce, and cradled support. It contains 30% extra graphite gel for improved temperature regulation and cool comfort.
Next is another layer of 2-inch Adaptive foam with ceramic gel to enhance airflow and wick away excess heat and moisture. It also provides a smooth transition from a soft top to a dense foundation.
Last is the 6.5 inches of high-density foam for stability and longevity. The entire mattress has reinforced foam edge support to prevent accidents. Moreover, the elegant charcoal grey cover offers antimicrobial properties for a safe, hygienic sleep area.
Pros:
- Perfect contouring for a body-hugging support
- Zero motion transfer
- Optimal cooling ideal for hot sleepers
- Thick and durable
- Substantial edge support
- Perfect for those who share a bed
Cons:

- Back and stomach sleepers may experience discomfort
Tuft and Needle Hybrid
It brings the best of both the mattress types: foam and innerspring bed. This 12-inch contains five layers of foam and a layer of spring coils. Designed typically for the stomach, side, and back sleepers, the mattress has a classic bounce and sturdy support.
Its 2-inch thick top layer offers plush comfort to contour sore muscles and aching joints to rejuvenating sleep. Packed with cooling graphite gel, it effectively maintains the sleep temperature.
Next is a 1-inch transition coil layer to enhance the resilience of the top layer, so that stomach sleepers don’t experience sinkage and misaligned spine. Again you’ll find another layer of 1-inch foam designed to absorb motion for undisturbed sleep. It makes it suitable for those who share a bed with partners, pets, and children.
The support core is made of 6-inches of pocketed coils for an exceptionally responsive surface. Combination sleepers will find it easy to toss around the bed without any stuck-in feel, while the individually wrapped coils will mitigate the motion transfer.
Last is a 1-inch of HD foam layer for stability and motion absorption. This mattress’s medium-soft firmness works in favor of most sleeper types while offering them a cloud-like comfort.

- Quilted pillow-top for extra plushness and slow breakdown time
- Offers the best of foam and spring mattresses
- Works well for most sleeper types
- Multiple layers offer exceptional pain relief

The former pillow is manufactured from a combination of high-quality micro polyamide and polyester. Its soft cover encases plush foam that adapts and contours to your head, allowing your neck, shoulders, and head to relax. Plus, it has graphite and cooling gel installed in it, both of which ensure you don’t sweat through the night.
As for the latter, those pillows use up polyester to be packed inside a soft, cotton cover. These pillows are available in a plethora of cute, aesthetic shades.

Common Complaints
With pros come cons, and with a large number of sales from a large company comes complaints. This well-known company fabricates bed-in-a-box mattresses that most people love.
Tuft and Needle show on their website- show that 95% of their customers keep the mattresses.
TIP: I have found many of these companies that are not posting negative comments that are filed with the company. So I am HIGHLY dubious of any review ratings on the company websites.
But to ensure you make an unbiased decision, we’ve added a common complaint section.
Since these models come without the temperature regulating feature, people might find it uncomfortable and too hot to sleep in.
Not just this, but some people found that the Mint and Hybrid are hot as well. However, the graphite and cooling gel help cool down the mattress somewhat.
Another super common complaint with Tuft and Needle mattresses is that they are too firm. Many consumers said that despite being called ‘medium-firm, it felt uncomfortable to sleep all night on.
However, The company worked on this complaint, and after 2016 the company improved its comfort technology.
But everyone’s personal preference can be different. I have been researching a lot of companies and I have found many cases where complaints about being too firm have almost the same number of complaints saying it is too soft.
I guess that is a strong arguement to test run a mattress in a store.
Considering these are all-foam, they are bound to come with the same odor. However, most of the people didn’t find any lingering smells because of its breathability.
If you’re someone who weighs above 230 pounds, there is a decent chance are you might not feel comfortable. Heavier customers wrote that they ended up with back pain, so we recommend you think hard before making a purchase.
Last but not least, there were some shipping complaints as well. Despite an overall 4 star review, some customers mentioned a sufficient number of issues with the 100-days trial period.
However, a good way to better avoid potential issues is to order directly from Tuft and Needle as many of the problems were from reseller purchases.
Conclusion
Tuft and Needle seems to provide quality products that are on the affordable scale with competitive pricing, decent warranty, and trial period, decent return policy with some challenges in the return process.
It seems like an ok company to purchase from, I am still doing research on this company and I will update this article with my findings.
If you have purchased their products and wish to share your experience please contact me and I will add them to the website to help others in their quest for a good mattress buying experience for a quality product.
