Tuft and Needle Review

That seems strange. "Synthetic latex" isn't latex (and thus wouldn't cause latex allergies), latex isn't generally used as an adhesive to my knowledge, and it seems unlikely that you could be exposed to latex through all of the layers from the mattress. Additionally, you said you just "know" that the "latex in the adhesive" is what's causing your symptoms, because you previously had a latex allergy? That seems like the kind of thing that would require a lot of testing. I think it's far more likely that you're allergic to something else. You might be very well allergic to the adhesive, I have no idea, but that doesn't sound like it would be related to a latex allergy. On the other hand, I am no doctor. Luckily, you're in the return period, so just send it back for a refund.

FYI - While the Tuft & Needle mattress does not contain latex foam as you stated it does contain a synthetic latex used in the adhesive. I know because I had a prior contact latex allergy and now after having the mattress for 2 1/2 months have a full blown respiratory latex allergy that is affecting my ability to do my job as a Nursing Instructor.

As long as the boxspring is rigid (i.e. doesn't actually have springs in it; very few do these days), it's fine.

My comment is not spam. I am inquiring as to the correctness of placing a brand new hybrid T & N mattress on a brand new box spring. Will this harm the mattress?

Luckily, that's what the free return policy is for. But I suspect you haven't slept in many soft mattresses if this one is the softest.

This is actually the softest bed I've ever slept in, to the point there was no support. Gave me raging lower back pain.

You are definitely right about the firmness my side was killing me after a week!! And this bed also off gasses a lot! I am not a huge fan about mattress stores either, but ended up going to mattress firm and trying there "Tulo Mattress" and fell in love its also a bed in the box difference is you get a 120 nights to sleep on it, with a full refund or credit towards another bed, has a 10 year warranty and has 3 comfort levels firm, medium, and soft! and you can try it in the store before you buy it, a queen retails for $650 but I got mine during a big promotion where they were doing queen for twin pricing and I got it for $375! I definitely recommend!

I have a really bad back, so I need pretty good side support. Would medium soft work best? I have been sleeping on a recliner sofa for the past 2 years. I would like to sleep on a bed again. So what you recommend?

Not yet, thanks for letting me know about it.

Have you looked at the "new" Tuft and Needle mattress? It supposedly sports a new, adaptive memory foam. It seems pretty economical.

Haven't tried it. It seems pretty gimmicky to me, since it uses such a thin comfort layer, but people seem to like it.

Just want to know whether u have tried the purple bed yet? If so, please let me know what you think. Thank you..

We tried out the T&N and I'm not sure what the problem is. I switch sleeping positions in the night quite a bit, and feel I have to wake up to move on this mattress. Plus, when my husband tries to cuddle, I wind up falling in his indentation with him. He loves the feel of the T&N, but I'm waking up with lower back pain when I sleep in the bed with him - especially when I sleep on my side. (When he was out of town, I slept fine.) I'm not sure if we need something more or less firm. This is our first new mattress purchase, so I'm At a loss. Any advice is welcome!

Yes, when you go to their website, you'll see options for size. Queen is just the most popular.

Just saw an ad for Leesa on TV, so went on line to read reviews and you are the first. Most interesting ! My most important question is: will they provide a twin size mattress? In your review, only the queen size is mentioned. Space-limited, Thank you! Marilynn

Honestly, something that will be used one week a year isn't a critical purchase, and you'd be fine going with either. The T&N is fine for something like that, especially if you prefer a firmer mattress.

Rather than Savvy Rest, I'd recommend Spindle, which I review here: Spindle Review. It's basically the same as Savvy Rest, but at about a third of the price.

I am looking for 3 twin mattresses for a second home. They will be used twice a year for one week. Do you recommend the T&N or should I look for somethings on overstock?

This is a polyurethane foam, nowhere near organic. You want 100% natural latex foam but yes you will pay for it. I've researched enough brands to know that buying wholesale layers for a diy is the way to go. That way you have the flexibility to buy one at a time and see what ILD works best for you. In the end it's more time consuming but it's half the cost of retail. If you have the money to spend then you could just buy a Savvy Rest which is customizable but again you pay for their quaity. It's composed of layers as well so really your going to get the same quality if you buy 100% latex from a reputable wholesale distributer. I understand the appeal of the tuft and needle price point but if you want real quality, save your money and put it towards a latex mattress.

Mattresses with latex foam will be easier to move around in. Other than that, foam mattresses will be harder to move around in.

My wife is very satisfied with her sleep on T&N full mattress. She wanted a firmer mattress and is a side sleeper, yet she feels properly supported. With arthritis and weakness, she finds entry and exit from the mattress hard. Movement into position takes more effort. I would think this is an issue with any foam-style mattress. Your thoughts or possible solutions.

I've used the T&N for about 60 days and could not get it to stop feeling like sleeping on a board. That's an exaggeration, but you get my point. I've not had a Leesa for a couple of weeks and it feels so soft and memory foam-ish. Any suggestion for something in between the softness of Leesa and the firmness of T&N? Appreciate the reviews!

BEST MATTRESS I HAVE SLEPT ON IN YEARS.!! ALSO, THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCEPTIONAL.... SINCERELY!

FTC Disclosure: I am an affiliate for Spindle and would get paid a commission if you click on the link in this comment. If you want an organic mattress, you should look at a natural latex mattress. The most reasonably-priced one of those that I've tried is Spindle Mattress. Most organic latex mattresses are in the $2,000 - 3,000 range. Spindle is $1350 in a queen. Here's my affiliate link for them. I haven't written my review yet since I just tried it a few days ago. The only "problem" is that it doesn't have a free return policy. That's part of how they got the price so low.

We're looking for an organic mattress and a family member recommended the T&N. Their website doesn't mention any of the materials they use in the mattress but from your review this doesn't sound at all like an organic mattress. What is your opinion on organic mattresses and mattresses that are chemically produced and potentially off-gas? Any recommendations on organic mattresses (that aren't too outrageously priced!)? Thanks.

How can you make sure you are not receiving a "RETURNED MATTRESS" instead of a new never used one?

Something like the Leesa will contour a bit better. It won't be quite as firm as the T&N, and it will contour a bit further down since it uses 25% more of the comfort foams up top (4 inches vs 3).

I am 5'8 205lbs side sleeper. I power lift as a hobby, so I have broad shoulders, narrow waist and big quads. Recently I bought a Tuft and Needle mattress but I'm finding it too firm for my shape. It feels like it's putting even more pressure on my shoulders than my old spring mattress with a topper on it. Also, when I'm laying on my side, I can actually feel my lower leg hovering in the air because my quads are not sinking deep enough into the mattress. I am waking up with pain in my upper back and shoulders. I know there is a break in period with foam mattresses and it's only been a few days, but this feels like it's beyond that, so I will likely return it. In the mean time, I am looking for a new mattress. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks

I just wanted to provide some personal feedback on the T&N mattress. I'm a back sleeper, husband is a back or side sleeper, and this mattress has been perfect for us. We're planning to upgrade to a king from a queen and stick with them. We live in Phoenix, and this mattress has been MUCH better than previous foam mattresses at keeping us cool during the summer.

We will be donating our Tuft and Needle mattress - it is a beautifully constructed mattress, but it is like sleeping on 3/4" plywood - we have had the mattress for almost three weeks and my wife has resorted to sleeping downstairs on the leather sofa - very disappointed.

No, not on this one. Convoluted foam would help a lot more than having fewer layers. I'd expect this one to be roughly on par with a regular foam mattress, maybe slightly better.

I had a question about this mattress. I'm guessing you personally tried it, so hopefully you noticed this and remember it. One of their big claims in an ad I saw about these mattresses is that, because of the proprietary foam they use and fewer layers (they claim less glue in the construction helps air flow through the mattress or something like that), this mattress is a lot cooler than your typical foam mattress. Is that something you noticed?

Hi MN! I took your advice and ordered a LEESA. I'm much less nervous about a purchase because of your awesome site. Thanks!

No, that would be ridiculous. You donate the mattress to charity (many of which offer a pick up service), and once that's verified you get your money back.

The mattress arrives vacuum packed. When i want to return it...... how do I do that? I can't vacuum pack it. When I call UPS or FEDEX they tell me that I cannot ship a mattress of that size. What am i supposed to do..... drive across country with it strapped to the top of my Honda?
