Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress Review

One of the most affordable mattress brands we’ve ever reviewed is back with a new mattress model, the Tuft & Needle Hybrid—their most supportive mattress yet. Want to know how this mattress measures up in our lab testing? It’s all in this comprehensive review. We’ll go over the mattress and brand highlights, test scores, and all other purchase information you need to know.

Tuft & Needle Hybrid Highlights

• The comfort layer of this bed is made with their T&N Adaptive foam. This soft layer hugs your hips and shoulders, relieving any pressure⁠—especially great for side sleepers.
• On top of that, their foam is infused with carbon fiber, a material that keeps foam breakdown at bay, so you can sleep comfortably for longer on a mattress that won’t sag.
• What makes the Tuft & Needle Hybrid different from the original model is the addition of a spring layer. These individual pocketed springs keep you supported and respond to your movements without squeaking.

Tuft & Needle Hybrid Testing Highlights

The Tuft & Needle Hybrid mattress is their new model that works for all types of sleepers. It has medium firmness with a luxurious pillow top cover for softness and bouncy pocketed coils for firm support. Let’s check out some other highlights of the T&N Hybrid.

Ultra Pressure Relief

The foam/spring combo material in the Tuft & Needle Hybrid offers superior pressure relief in your hips and shoulders, a great feature for side sleepers. And when we say superior, we’re not kidding—it scored a 9.5 out of 10 in our test. Than means nearly no pressure was applied to the hips, back, and shoulders.

Check out our pressure map below. The green and blue means minimal pressure!

Impressive Spinal Alignment

While lying down to rest, you want your spine to be straight as possible to prevent back pain and soreness in the morning. The Tuft & Needle Hybrid did just that. The pillow top cover allowed the shoulders and hips to gently sink into the mattress, but not enough to mess up the straight line that goes from the base of the spine to the top of the neck.

Actively Responds to Your Movements

Combination sleepers love to move around at night to settle into their new position. They need a mattress that isn’t too firm that they can’t get comfortably, but that also isn’t too soft where they feel like they can’t move because they are stuck.

The pocketed coil springs in the Tuft & Needle Hybrid offer a bouncy responsiveness that doesn’t squeak. The mattress allows you to move comfortably and doesn’t disrupt your sleep as you do.

What to Watch Out For

Be aware that your Tuft & Needle Hybrid mattress may have a mild scent when you unbox it—this is normal and should go away within a few hours.
