3 mattress styles in the lineup
The Tuft & Needle website makes it really easy to compare their three mattresses and choose the one that's a good fit for you, but here's the short version:
- Original ($745-$1,395): this brand's entry-level mattress is 10” high and gives you bounce-back support, pressure relief and breathability. It's best for back and stomach sleepers, and it includes 3” of adaptive foam with graphite and cooling gel for temperature regulation. This all-foam mattress has a medium firm feel but not a lot of edge support.
- Mint ($1,295-$2,295): T&N's 11” mid-tier mattress is also all-foam, good for back and side sleepers plus those who share a bed. You'll still get the 3” of foam with graphite, but this mattress also includes 2” of adaptive foam with ceramic cooling gel. It's got a medium level of firmness, plus reinforced edges that make it easier to get in and out of bed.
- Hybrid ($1,395-$2,595): the tallest mattress here is the 12” foam/springs hybrid model. Ideal for all sleep positions, this style offers the bounce of springs, the support of foam, and a medium soft feel. It's also the coolest-sleeping mattress sold by Tuft & Needle.
6 sizes, 100-night sleep trial
All T&N mattresses come in six sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and Cal King. You'll have a 100-night sleep trial and a 10 year warranty no matter which one you ultimately select, as well as free shipping and financing options through Affirm or Afterpay.
Savings tucked away at the bottom of the site
We noticed that this was the only online store in our review that didn't jump right at us with a pop-up offering a discount for signing up as an email newsletter recipient or with some big seasonal sale at the top of the page. That's okay: as you can see above, pricing here is reasonable even without a coupon. But, if you're a healthcare professional, first responder or member of the military, be sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the T&N site because there's some savings available for you. You might also find some reduced-priced options through the Sale link down there; at the time of this review, there was a closeout sale on the Mint mattress from two years prior, bringing the price down by more than $100 compared with the current model year's cost. Why not?
Numerous 5-star ratings from thrilled customers
It always makes us happy when companies let us see unfiltered reviews, and you'll see over 76,000 of them on the Tuft & Needle website (yes, you read that number correctly). Read customer comments on- or off-site and you'll see thousands and thousands (and thousands) of five-star ratings. Shoppers sing Tuft & Needle's praises for having extremely responsive customer support, heavenly mattresses, and fast delivery. Let's go! The BBB won't argue with that reputation either: they've given this brand an "A+” and accreditation too.
Gives back to people in need
And, like most of the companies in the top ranks here, Tuft & Needle does their part to make the world a better place. Through a combination of direct donations, donations of returned mattresses, and school fundraising, the company has given over $13 million in mattresses - plus 2500+ volunteer hours in setting up beds, cleaning bedding, providing meals, building housing, and beyond. Fantastic mattresses and a feel-good brand? Absolutely.
One of our favorite foam mattress brands
The next time you're shopping for a foam mattress and you want to increase your chances of not needing to make a return, start your shopping at Tuft & Needle. You'll still have 100 nights to decide, and 10 years of warranty in case something goes awry, but tens of thousands of five-star reviews aren't going to steer you wrong. This is a fabulous company we're excited to recommend.

The 13 Best Foam Mattresses
Which Brand of Foam Mattress is the Best?
You may have found your curiosity piqued by a mattress-in-a-box unboxing video, watching a seemingly too-small carton produce a king-size mattress in just a matter of seconds. Yes, you really can get an amazing night's sleep from one of these mattresses that gets shipped to your doorstep - no need to drive around town and strap your new bed to the roof of your car after all!
In fact, many customers have a strong preference for foam mattresses over the traditional spring or coil versions paired with a box spring. Technology has come a long way over the last decade or so, and if you're tired of waking up with an aching back, sore shoulder, or irritable partner (because your tossing-and-turning shook the bed all night), you'll definitely want to consider what a foam mattress can do for you.
Foam Mattress FAQ
Continued from above...
What do you need to know about this type of mattress? First, there's a distinction between all-foam and hybrid construction. All-foam is just like it sounds: every layer consists of some kind of foam that either contours to your body or supports the mattress as a whole. These layers can vary quite widely from one brand to another, and even within the same manufacturer - offering different mattress heights, levels of support, and firmness at the edge of the bed itself. Hybrid mattresses are a combination of foam and coils or springs. These are usually designed to give you more support and cooling, and give you a sleep experience that more closely approximates what you're used to while offering the softer, more supportive feel of foam.
One innovation we've seen recently is flippable foam mattresses. If you're not sure whether you prefer yours to be on the firm or soft side, no worries: several brands give you a two-in-one experience. But, even if you don't purchase a two-sided foam mattress, you're not stuck with whatever you buy.
Why? Every brand in our review gives you at least 30 nights to try it out and see how it feels - because it can take at least that long for your body to adjust to a new mattress. Most foam mattresses give you even longer than that, from 100 days to a full year, and you can return it if you wind up thinking something else would be a better fit. Just watch for the details on that trial period: some companies charge a return fee, while others give you a full refund.
It's incredible how many foam mattress companies have hit the market over the last few years. Which one should you pick? You might feel overwhelmed even trying to start shopping around. We've evaluated some of today's most popular brands, and while you browse, here are some factors to keep in mind:
- Mattress Size. Believe it or not, not every brand carries every size of mattress. If you're shopping for a Queen or King, you can likely choose any foam mattress company that catches your attention. But, if you need a standard Twin, some brands only carry the Twin XL length in the higher-end models. And, if you need a split King or Cal King, you may not find it everywhere you shop. Before you get too far down the track, make sure that the store has your required size in stock.
- Desired Benefits. What are you most hoping for in your foam mattress? Are you sleeping warmer than ever and would love something that cools you down? Do you need cradling support for aching joints? Are you allergy-prone and need a mattress that's organic (yes, those do exist!)? Make your "must have” list to help you narrow down the options.
- Budget. What are you willing to spend for your mattress? You could find a great model for under $1,000 or a super-luxe one for over $15,000. You don't necessarily have to overspend to get a good night's sleep, and knowing what your budget is in advance can help you resist some of the "nice but not necessary” options out there.
- Trial and Returns. How long can you sleep on the mattress before making your final decision? What's the process for making a return? Some companies take care of it for you, while others ask you to donate it to a nonprofit and provide a receipt before issuing your refund. Will you have to pay a return fee?
- Customer Reviews. This could be the key factor in making your final choice on your foam mattress. What do people who sleep like you (size, support level, injuries/conditions, sleep habits) say about the one you're considering? And what do shoppers say about the overall customer service experience with the brand?
