The 10 in. Tuft & Needle Diary

[phoenix]

Hi horspowr1001,

Thanks for taking the time to let us know what you ended up purchasing and for sharing your comments and feedback about your new Tuft & Needle mattress. Most importantly congratulations on your new mattress

Thanks also for your kind comments … I appreciate them as well!

Regarding temperature, we tend to sleep hot and use a low-fill down alternative comforter with duvet cover along with “EvenTemp” temperature regulating sheets from Kohl’s. We have not added any kind of mattress cover yet, mostly because we don’t want to inhibit the temperature regulation of the T&N comfort layer. However, if anyone knows of better “cooling” sheets or a mattress cover that wouldn’t affect temperature notably, we’re open to suggestions.

There is more about the different types of mattress protectors and the pros and cons of each of them (including temperature regulation) in post #89 here.

There is also more information about sheets and bedding in post #7 here and the other posts and sources of information it links to that should be helpful as well. Natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, or silk or “semi synthetic” fabrics such as viscose rayon (made from bamboo, beech and other viscose sources) will generally be better at regulating temperature than synthetic fabrics such as polyester. Linen (made from flax) and Silk in particular are very good at regulating temperature.

At the moment, we are a bit worried that after break-in this may end up softening beyond than our personal preference, but that’s what the 100 night policy is perfect for! I’ll report back in a couple weeks when we’ve gotten used to it and it’s broken in.

I’m looking forward to any additional updates you have the chance to share in a few more weeks.
