“I bought this mattress to replace my old T&N, which was about 8 years old. This mattress has been wonderful - I've noticed I fall asleep faster and need fewer adjustments to get comfortable. I have a bulging disc in my lumbar spine, and I have also noticed less back pain and stiffness when I wake up. I feel like the mattress puts less pressure on my body. My partner has been very happy with it as ” — Tessia B · tuftandneedle.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
