About two years ago a post on HN came up about Tuft & Needle. I was in the market for a new mattress at the time so I scouted the site for a while before eventually purchasing a King sized mattress for $499. One of their selling points at the time was that it was a quality mattress without the high prices, and at $500 I could definitely agree with that.
The mattress itself has been great, but at the time they only sold 5" thick mattresses. I eventually found that 5" was too thin for me and finding a mattress frame I liked was quite difficult. Being so low to the ground just felt more uncomfortable than anything when I woke up in the morning. About a month after I got my mattress, T&N came out with a 10" version (Which they exclusively sell now), which was only $100 more at the time for a King. It seems they now sell for about $750 (compared to $600 before)
I'm still using my 5" Tuft & Needle but I'm going to be purchasing a new mattress in the near future and will most likely try out Leesa, though I'm not totally committed to it yet. It's been interesting watching all these mattress companies enter the market but with more options I'm finding it difficult to make a choice.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoI too bought a Tuft & Need mattress (just a few months ago, actually) and found that it was much too firm for me. I'm trying out a Casper next. https://casper.com/mattresses https://casper.com/mattresses
- xahrepap 11y agoI was so skeptical, but buying my Leesa was one of my best purchases. My back and hips thank me every day. Also, I sleep so much deeper now. It's been great!
- sjg007 11y agoDid the mattress hold up? Is the only reason you are changing because it is too thin and low to the ground but is it otherwise comfortable?
- sc00ty 11y agoThe mattress has held up great. I've had no problems with the mattress itself other than it being too thin for me (which isn't really an issue for new buyers). As a 6'3" 200lb male, I can feel whatever is below the mattress and it's not the most pleasant thing.
- marpstar 11y agoI purchased a 10" queen Tuft & Needle mattress right before Christmas. I had been having issues with a stiff back when I'd wake up in the morning and switching to this mattress has made a huge difference. When the box arrived, I was convinced they had sent me a twin sized mattress because of how small it was. They don't just roll the mattress, but the compress it from the sides as well. I was skeptical about buying a mattress without trying it first, but this time it worked out.
- calvinbhai 11y agoI bought two T&N mattresses (queen, 10 inch) and I've been super happy with these mattresses. I believe T&N was the first one to start with this concept. And I have feeling several of the new ones that are similar, but also expensive, are probably some of the incumbent S brand mattress companies. I like the firmness of T&N. I guess if you are in the market for a 10" thick mattress, this is an ideal choice
