“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

“Truly the best mattress I’ve ever slept on. The memory foam gives you plenty of softness, but there’s great support under the memory foam. Couldn’t feel my husband moving during the night - didn’t even wake up when our dog got on the bed while we were asleep. Really just a fantastic product and worth every penny.” — mattressfirm.com
