WHY WE LIKE IT
The Tuft and Needle Original continues to be one of our top recommendations due to its compelling combination of technology and price backed up by a great company that stands by their products. While the T&N Original is only a two-layer design, it doesn't hold it back. The 3" outer comfort layer is thicker than most comfort layers and results in a medium firmness mattress that is great for side and back sleepers below 225 lbs. While other big brands choose to offer longer trials, do you really need more than 100 days to decide?
PROS
- T&N proprietary foam that was developed using customer feedback that helps the foam adapt and contour to your body.
- While still foam at the end of the day, their outer foam layer is engineered with gel beds and graphite which aids cooling.
- GreenGuard Gold certified which is pretty uncommon accolade among mattress manufacturers.
- Available in all common sizes from twin to all the way up to California King.
- Works with any bed foundation.
- Made in the USA.
CONS
- The Original doesn't have extra edge support as part of its design, but depending on if you share your bed with someone else, or have trouble getting in or out of bed, this may not be a big issue for you.
- 10" thickness may not be quite thick enough for you if you're coming from a 12"+ thickness mattress.
