I got the 5" queen, had it for a few days, so far so good. I think it’s a good buy for the price, not the end-be-all mattress.
by the way, if anybody needs a referral link to get $50 off any tuft and needle mattress, feel free PM me and I can send it to you!
Hi edozp,
I removed the link to your referral code (as I also have with all the others that have posted them … see posts #36 and 37 here) because they are against the rules of the forum but a member here can private message you if they wish.
Thanks for letting us know what you ended up deciding and I’m looking forward to your feedback when you receive it.
Congratulations on your new mattress :).

I just wanted to thank you for this awesome website! I’ve spent the last few hours scouring all the posts and finally settled on the 12 in 1! I’ll come back in a few weeks and let everyone know how it turns out…
EDIT: As if the mattress wasn’t a good enough deal, if you go to their facebook page, you can find a 10% off code! I got the 12 in 1 for 359 shipped through their website (not Amazon). Redirecting...
Hi akdem,
Congratulations on your new mattress 
As you know I think you made a great quality/value choice and it would be good value at the regular price but along with a few of the other forum members that have mentioned it and purchased a Dreamfoam Mattress from their website … your timing is very good with the additional 10% discount as well.
I’m looking forward to your comments and feedback when you receive it!

I purchased the 10" Tuft and Needle mattress last month, and because of this site, was able to extend my 30 night trial to a 60 night trial. This was very helpful, as I took 31 nights to finally concede that this was not the mattress for me. I couldn’t believe how firm it was upon my first sit, and only felt better after a substantial amount of padding was added. I found it to be a great nap mattress for me, but it was just too firm for an all nighter. As I really don’t want to buy my mattress in pieces (mattress, topper, cover, etc.), I will be contacting Tuft and Needle and starting the return process this week.
I am very grateful for everyone who posted about their Tuft and Needle experience. It is a beautiful mattress, and save for the lack of “sink in softness” that I realize I want in a mattress, is a great buy!
So, more mattress shopping for me. Again, because of this site, I found out that during my Tuft and Needle experience, an Urban Mattress location (in Albuquerque) opened up. I have talked with Mark a couple of times and have visited and done the “bounce around on the mattresses” homework. Between Mark and this site I’ve gotten a pretty well rounded mattress education.
I’ve narrowed it down to (I think) the Dunlopillo Ambiance Luxury Plush or the Lumina Radiance Plus. The Lumina is more in my price range (the Dunlopillo being almost twice as much). I had really liked a hybrid mattress I had tried at a traditional mattress store, but just didn’t want to have all the chemical foams and such that are part of that mattress construction, and was pleased to find the Lumina.
Here’s the thing….my current mattress is a 14 year old Spring air. I’m sleeping on it diagonally to avoid the hammock feeling I get from shoulders to hips when lying on it regularly (good clue for a new mattress, huh?). I feel like I’ve gotten into some bad sleeping habits, and so I don’t want to rely on the way I sleep now as to what new kind of mattress to get. I really thought I was an “innerspring kind of girl”, but there is something about the foam of the Dunlopillo that allows me to lie in different positions that feel like they might be more beneficial. I don’t just want to go with what I’m used to if choosing something different will help me to change my sleep habits and have a more beneficial night’s sleep.
Any input is greatly appreciated…… :cheer:
And to all a good night……
Hi sleep2nite,
I’m sorry to hear that your mattress didn’t work out as well as you hoped but as you know that’s the “value” of a good return policy where you can use your actual sleeping experience to assess whether a mattress is a good match for you.
I’d say that’s a very good indication that it’s time for a new mattress yes
Your own careful testing for PPP using the testing guidelines in the tutorial post will be the most reliable way to assess whether a mattress is a good match for you (see post #4 here and mattress firmness/comfort levels in post #2 here) but while this may have relatively high odds of success … it isn’t perfect and if you aren’t confident that your testing will do a good job of predicting your sleeping experience then just like with the online purchase you made I would factor in the options you have after a purchase as part of the “value” of your purchase so that the risks of making a “less than ideal” choice are lower. There is more about the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase in post #13 here.
If you choose a mattress that is very different from what you are used to then it may take a little longer than normal for your body to adjust to a new sleeping surface or a different types of mattress (see post #2 here) because your body may have “learned” to get used to sleeping out of alignment and there may be some muscle memory or sleeping memory that needs to change (see posts such as the first part of post #7 here and post #4 here) but if the mattress it a good match for you and there are no other health issues involved that can complicate matters then the outcome at the end of the break in and adjustment process is usually much better and healthier sleep than before.

Hi!
I have been doing quite the research because of our need for a new mattress with quite small a budget.
After reading many reviews and posts in the forums, we have settled on the King 10" Tuft & Needle. The price is quite right, and being that we are young, I think we have a little more wiggle room in comfort. I’m hoping for this to work well for us for the next few years.
I am very interested to see how our purchase goes, we’re very excited to be able to have the 30 night trial extended to the 60 night!
Hi amandabern,
Welcome and I’m glad you found us
You certainly made a good choice if you prefer a firmer polyfoam mattress and I hope you have the chance to share your feedback when you receive it.

Hi, glad to have found this forum and the wealth of information here!
After much consideration I have decided on the Tuft & Needle 10" and will be posting my thoughts on the mattress in the near future. I am going with this model because of the price and the simple return process if needed.
Hi Sleeping In,
Welcome … and it’s great to see that the site could help you
Congratulations on your new mattress as well and I also hope you have the chance to share your feedback when you receive it.

Going to take the plunge with the 10" T&N.
Have any side sleepers switched to sleeping on their back after this? Are there any side sleepers happy with a mattress of this firmness? I’m coming from a W Hotel Bed which is 8 years old. Looking forward to giving this a spin with their generous trial period!
Hi jonsd,
On “average” … it would probably be a little on the firm side for most side sleepers but each person is unique and can be very different from someone else so it may work well for some side sleepers but not work well at all for others. Regardless of how it works for anyone else though … the only way to know whether it’s a good match for you would be based on your own personal sleeping experience. I would never make a mattress choice based on other people’s experiences that may be very different from your own (see post #4 here).
If it does turn out to be too firm for you then you could either return it and start over again (and there are many other good quality/value options that would be softer) or you can add a good quality but softer topper if you need some additional softness or pressure relief.

I took the plunge with the 10" T&N King mattress.
I will post my review once we have had it for a while.
Hi nes1984,
Congratulations on your new mattress
I’m looking forward to your feedback once you receive it and have had the chance to sleep on it for a bit.

I have been lurking on this website for a few weeks now, and I am truly impressed by the wealth of knowledge and friendliness. Like many others in this post, I too am buying the Tuft & Needle and can’t wait to try it out. I will be sure to provide an update once I have it.

As promised, I’m back to report on how the new mattress is working out…
We’ve had it for about 3 weeks now, and it has been absolutely fantastic. We adjusted the foam layers on the day we bought it, and haven’t had to make any more adjustments since then. We did buy a breathable mattress protector from amazon. We also have a heated mattress pad that works fine with the foam.
As some others have mentioned on here, the quality of the foam and the mattress case itself are really impressive. Way better than what you would expect for $400. We have slept wonderfully on the bed, and so far we are extremely satisfied with our purchase. I don’t think we will ever go back to a spring mattress again.
I was on the fence about whether to get this mattress or not, but I’m so glad I did!
Hi akdem,
Thanks for the update and feedback … I appreciate it
It’s great to see that things worked out so well for you.

I am very grateful to have found this site. I was already set upon purchasing the king 12 in 1 from Amazon after the move into our new home next month. I was just doing some additional reading on this mattress to solidify my feelings that I was making the correct purchase when I stumbled upon this site.
By reading this thread I found out I could purchase the king on their site instead of Amazon and use the coupon from their Facebook page. I was prepared to pay $873 (bed/tax). I ended up getting it for $449!
I’m beyond thrilled!!
