The 10 in. Tuft & Needle Diary

[phoenix]

Hi veien,

Phoenix, thank you for the response. Would still appreciate responses from long-time T&N owners on the sagging issue, even though these kind of experiences are highly individual, indeed.

There aren’t any long term owners because the new design has only been available for a few months. You would need enough feedback after period of at least 5 years or more to identify a clear enough pattern to be able to use this type of information to assess whether a mattress has any real issues with premature foam sagging or softening over the longer term and feedback after only a few months will be more of an indication about the suitability of the choices that they made than it will about the durability of the mattress.

What’s the rationale behind using more dense foam as a comfort layer and less dense as base layer? Isn’t it usually the other way around?

It’s normal for the comfort layers to be softer than the support layers but firmness/softness and density have nothing to do with each other. Any density of foam can be made in a very wide range of firmness levels. Density is the most important factor in the durability of a foam. There is more about the new Tuft & Needle design in posts #2 and #6 here.
