Our impression: The Sam’s Club Tuft & Needle is a memory foam mattress with a firm feel. This is both an online mattress and one you can buy in person at Sam’s Club. This bed works best for stomach sleepers, back sleepers, couples, and people on a budget.

One of the most impressive factors about this mattress is its edge support. In our test, we sat down at the edge of the Sam’s T&N and put on a pair of shoes. Here we look to see if we feel supported or if we feel like we’re slipping off. This Tuft & Needle mattress had very solid edge support. Take a look at how it barely buckles under my weight.
Our responsiveness test did not go as well. In this test, we look for ease of movement, comfort in different positions, and bounce. This is the main factor combination sleepers should look for in a mattress.
Because the mattress felt so firm, it was pretty difficult to get comfortable with each sleep position. Even though we were not sinking into the mattress, we had the feeling of being stuck.
Let’s start off with the good news. From this test, we can see that the Sam’s Club Tuft & Needle is great for back sleepers in the pressure department. On our heat map, you can see that it is primary littered with cooler colors, meaning there is minimal pressure.
Unfortunately when it comes to the bad news, it did not do so well in our side sleeping test. You can see a ton of pressure in the shoulder area and a smaller amount of pressure concentrated at the hips. So if you are a side sleeper with shoulder pain, this may not be the bed for you.
The Sam’s Club T&N works best for back sleepers and stomach sleepers. Stomach sleepers should enjoy how firm the mattress is, and back sleepers get good pressure point relief.
However, combination sleepers may find it hard to get comfortable in each position, and side sleepers may have an issue with shoulder pain.
The answer is probably yes. This mattress is made from two dense foam layers. Memory foam conforms to your body using your body heat as a guide. What usually happens is that the foam holds this body heat, making for a warm sleep surface.
If you want a cool night’s sleep, we suggest going for an innerspring bed for added breathability, such as the Tuft & Needle Hybrid.
Even though we classify this as a firm mattress, it is not supportive enough for heavy sleepers. To prevent premature sagging, we suggest that plus-sized sleepers purchase an innerspring mattress, so the coils provide added support.
One of the best things about buying the Sam’s Club Tuft & Needle is that you don’t need to buy a special separate foundation to support it. This mattress will be supported using most foundations and frames.
The Sam’s Club T&N has a very similar construction to the original Tuft & Needle: two layers of foam wrapped in a breathable cover.

Like other mattresses that you order online, Sam’s Club Tuft & Needle arrives in a rectangular box. It did not take us too long to unbox this mattress and allow it to expand. Because a queen size mattress is only 62 pounds, it wasn’t too heavy, though we do still urge you to unbox with a partner.
This bed ships free and arrives in a box at your door. There is no white glove delivery option, so you’ll have to unbox your bed by hand and find a way to dispose of your old mattress.
You get a 10-year limited warranty with the Sam’s Club Tuft & Needle. This covers typical manufacturing defects such as excessive sagging and stitching issues.

Sam’s Club does not have an official return policy for mattresses, but they do have a return policy. In this policy, they allow you to print out a label and ship online orders back. This may be an in-person return considering the size of mattresses. We suggest contacting your local Sam’s Club for their policy.

It’s time to review everything we’ve discussed in this review, so you can decide if this is the bed you want brought to your home. We think you’ll love the Sam’s Club T&N if you sleep with a partner or near the edge of the mattress. The price point also makes it a good choice for children, guest rooms, and college students.
You probably won’t love the Tuft & Needle from Sam’s if you toss and turn often at night, are a side sleeper with shoulder pain, or you weigh more than 250 pounds. Instead, we recommend you check out the Titan mattress.
Let’s go over how the Sam’s Club Tuft & Needle measures up to the original, Hybrid, and Mint mattresses.
This bed is made here, in the United States.
Nope! The T&N for Sam’s Club is made to be a one-sided mattress. In order to prolong its life, rotate your bed every six months and use a mattress protector to prevent spills.
