How this is made

I love my new mattress! It was very easy to unpack and with the handles I was able to get it in place with little effort. I have slept peacefully, and have woken up pain free since night one! I’m a side sleeper and the firm side gives me the right amount of cushion without sinking into the mattress. It’s even pup approved 🐾 Kristin B. · laylasleep.com

This order replaces an old standard twin mattress. I’ve had a T&N full-size and a twin for several years. I like the convenience of the product arriving in a compact box and unrolling to full size, easy to place and unwrap. I also like the comfort of the mattress, solid and flat unlike standard cushion-top products. Very pleased with my purchase. Robert W · tuftandneedle.com
