Tuft & Needle prides itself on listening to customer feedback and always coming up with new products and ideas to meet users\u2019 requests and demands. It isn\u2019t uncommon for the brand to make changes to its flagship model, the Original T&N Mattress, as well as introduce new types of beds and bedding accessories to the market.<\/span><\/p>\n The Mint and the Hybrid, the brand\u2019s latest model, are the result of the company\u2019s efforts to stay at the forefront of the industry by building the mattresses its customers want and ask for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There are no bells and whistles with the Original T&N\u2014just a simple design of two layers of polyfoam. It may be simple, but it works, and it doesn\u2019t cost a fortune.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At 10″ tall, the Original Tuft and Needle is a medium-profile polyfoam bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The T&N Original Mattress is a medium-firm bed, leaning slightly toward the firmer side of the soft-to-firm scale. Its firmness rating is 6.5 out of 10, although some external <\/span>reviews of <\/span>the <\/span>Tuft and Needle mattress<\/span> put it closer to a 7. Variations in firmness ranking are quite common considering that weight, body shape, and sleeping position determine how a mattress feels.<\/span><\/p>\n With that in mind, heavyweight and stomach sleepers might find this bed too soft, while lightweight side sleepers may find this mattress too firm. Using a <\/span>\u00a0memory foam mattress topper <\/span>would solve this issue. This firmness level, however, should be just perfect for back sleepers of all sizes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Tuft and Needle has a balanced foam feel, so it\u2019s soft enough to conform to your body, but not so soft you feel like you\u2019re sinking into the bed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In fact, in our <\/span>review of<\/span> the<\/span> Tuft and Needle Mattress,<\/span> we found that one of the things that set this bed apart from other foam-based mattresses is its responsiveness. The T&N Original bounces back into shape pretty quickly, allowing users to move around on the bed\u2014making it great for combo sleepers.<\/span><\/p>\n Petite and medium-sized stomach sleepers will feel supported by this mattress. However, heavyweight stomach sleepers might feel that the softness of this T&N mattress throws off the alignment between their hips and shoulders. An <\/span>innerspring<\/span> <\/a>or hybrid mattress might be a better fit.<\/span><\/p>\n Next up in our <\/span>Tuft and Needle bed review,<\/span> we\u2019ll be looking at how effective this bed is at relieving pressure for the body\u2019s more sensitive spots, such as the hips, shoulders, and lower back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The truth is that if you\u2019re a back sleeper, you\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a better and more affordable mattress for pressure relief in the lower back area. The top layer of this bed combines the effects of memory foam and latex, thus increasing the exceptional pressure-relieving properties of the T&N mattress.<\/span><\/p>\n Since this bed is medium-firm, it might not offer as much pressure relief for lightweight side sleepers as some of the softer mattresses in the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n Multiple <\/span>Tuft and Needle reviews <\/span>show that theT&N Original Mattress is quite good at regulating temperature\u2014which is uncommon among memory foam beds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Thanks to the graphite and cooling gel in the comfort layer and the breathable cover, warm and neutral sleepers will have no issue with this mattress. It may be more temperature neutral than cool, but when compared to other memory foam beds (in terms of temperature regulation and price) there\u2019s no cause for complaint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Edge support isn\u2019t a strong suit for foam-based beds, and our tests and <\/span>Tuft and Needle reviews<\/span> confirm that this bed falls within the same category. The bed <\/span>does <\/span><\/i>offer some support around the edges, but it\u2019s nothing to brag about.<\/span><\/p>\n If you like stretching out on the entire surface of the bed, or if you\u2019re sharing the mattress with your partner, this might be an issue. Heavier users will experience sinkage around the perimeter of the bed as well, although switching from a <\/span>full-size mattress<\/span> to a <\/span>king mattress <\/span>should resolve this problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The T&N mattress is fairly good at eliminating motion transfer. This isn\u2019t surprising since foam beds, which don\u2019t have the bounce of innerspring mattresses, are very good at motion isolation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Based on several <\/span>Tuft and Needle bed reviews<\/span>, this mattress may not be the best at reducing motion transfer, so light sleepers may still feel their partner moving at night. But at this price point, it might still be one of the best options for couples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Mint model uses the brand\u2019s tried-and-tested Adaptive Foam but has two more layers of polyfoam for added relief and comfort. It\u2019s considered a more luxurious model than the Original\u2014as reflected in the higher price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n The T&N Mint mattress<\/a> is a 14″ tall, all-foam bed.<\/span><\/p>\n In terms of firmness, the Mint is a 6 on a 1 to 10 scale (10 being firmest). Even though it\u2019s a bit softer (compared to the 6.5 industry-standard firmness level), it still offers a solid combination of firmness and sinkage.<\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to weight, our <\/span>Tuft and Needle Mint Mattress review <\/span>found that this bed may not be the best option for heavier users because it\u2019s simply too soft. Light and medium-sized sleepers, on the other hand, will love this mattress, particularly if they sleep on their side or change sleeping positions during the night.<\/span><\/p>\n The T&N Mint is a soft bed, but <\/span>Tuft and Needle Mint reviews <\/span>show less sinkage than expected. As a result of the sturdiness in the base layer, there\u2019s is a bit of bounce, more so than <\/span>other foam mattresses<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n This balance between contouring and responsiveness gives users the chance to move around on the bed without any issues\u2014making the Mint an excellent choice for combo sleepers and couples.<\/span><\/p>\n Although the Mint offers ample support for back sleepers, it\u2019s side sleepers who will benefit most from the combination of conformity and firmness in this mattress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That said, our <\/span>Tuft and Needle Mint reviews<\/span> have shown that heavier users and stomach sleepers might need more support than what the Mint offers. They may want to consider a <\/span>hybrid mattress<\/span><\/a> instead.<\/span><\/p>\n The Adaptive Foam in the comfort layer does an excellent job of relieving pressure, especially for side and combo sleepers. The Mint\u2019s comfort and transitional layers are engineered to adapt to the sleeper\u2019s body and relieve stress off the areas that put the most pressure on the mattress, including the lower back, hips, and shoulders.<\/span><\/p>\nOriginal <\/b>Tuft and Needle Mattress Review<\/b><\/h3>\n
