The 10 in. Tuft & Needle Diary

Hello All,

Thanks to all of you for your feedback, I now feel confident enough to put in my own order. I hope to be able to contribute some feedback of my own, and with my wife being a 95 pound omni-sleeper (generally starts on her back or side but ends up transitioning to pretty much every position on occasion) and me a 200 pound side sleeper, we should have a range of opinions. I’ll let you folks know how long delivery takes here in SoCal.

Cheers!

Hi Sean in OC,

Congratulations on your new mattress as well :slight_smile:

I’m looking forward to both of your comments and feedback once you receive it and have had the chance to sleep on it for a bit.

I spent my second night on my T&N 10" last night. The first night, I laid on it and thought, “This seems pretty firm. Maybe I’ll get used to it over ti—ZZZZ…” I woke up in the exact same position in which I fell asleep, only my mouth was flatteringly agape and I had drooled all over my pillow. So.

Second night, same. I sink into the mattress a bit over the first few minutes; no pain in my hip when I’m side-sleeping, which is my go-to sleep position. The mattress still feels firmer than what I’d typically find comfortable, but I’m sleeping like someone clubbed me, and no aches/soreness in my main hit points (shoulder/hip) when I wake up.

I’ll update if anything changes, but I’m very happy thus far! Now just to get a bedframe :smiley:

Hi sleepymolar,

Thanks for taking the time to share an update about your first few nights on your Tuft & Needle … I appreciate it :slight_smile:

As you probably know there will be a break in and adjustment period over the first few weeks as your mattress softens a little and you adjust to the “feel” of a new sleeping surface that is different from what you are used to (see post #3 here) but based on your feedback it sounds like you are sleeping very well without any discomfort or symptoms which generally means that the firmness is a good “match” for your body type and sleeping style.

If you are looking for a standard steel bedframe then post #10 here may be helpful.

After much deliberation, I ordered my T&N mattress over the weekend. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

I’ll post my feedback once I’ve got a couple weeks on it.

I am so glad I found this website. Thanks!

Hi Calpyro,

Congratulations on your new mattress :slight_smile:

As you know I think you made a great quality/value choice and I’m looking forward to finding out how you like it once you’ve received it and have had the chance to test it out for a while.

I would always make sure that you give any new mattress a few weeks before considering any changes so that the mattress has a chance to break in and you have the chance to adjust to a new sleeping surface that may be different than what your body is used to sleeping on (see post #3 here).

If after the first few weeks (generally 30 days is a good idea when possible) then if you find that the mattress is too firm for you then they have a great return policy if you decide to return the mattress and choose something softer. If you decide that you would prefer to add a topper and you just need some additional “comfort” and pressure relief then post #2 here and the topper guidelines it links to can help you use your sleeping experience as a reference point and guideline to help you choose the type, thickness, and firmness for a topper that has the least possible risk and the best chance for success and also includes a link to a list of some of the better online sources for toppers I’m aware of as well.

Based on what I read here, I went ahead and took the dive last night on a King. Hopefully it pans out well!

Hi; thanks for all your diary thoughts, and thanks to Phoenix for hosting/commenting so prolifically here. I gave the T&N an order today; hope it’s great for me! Thanks again!

I’m almost a month in on sleeping on my 10", and I still wake up very rarely during sleep. Mostly sleep like someone clubbed me – I wake up in the exact position in which I went to sleep, which can be an issue if I happened to fall asleep lying on my arm, etc. :blink: I can also wake up sore sometimes, but I think this is a result of exhaustion-flatout sleep more than the mattress. This still isn’t a controlled experiment while I continue to work myself silly on home improvement projects, but I’m sure I’ll have a better overall idea by the time I hit the end of my sleep trial. All in all, still very very happy with my purchase :woohoo:
