About
What it is.
Mint Hybrid is Tuft & Needle's layered construction built around T&N Flex foam, individually wrapped coils, and the brand's original T&N Adaptive foam. The Flex foam layer sits on top and firms progressively with body weight, while the wrapped coils are foam-encased to contain motion transfer between sleepers. A foam transition layer separates the coil system from the comfort layers above, and T&N Release foam is included for pressure relief at a medium firmness. Certifications include GreenGuard Gold and CertiPUR-US for the foams used throughout.
It's built for sleepers who want a straightforward hybrid mattress from an established maker without needing to research niche or boutique brands, and who prefer something that arrives ready for use rather than requiring adjustment or add-ons.
The verdict
The Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid ranks seventh among mattresses for side sleepers and earns 4.6 out of 5 stars from 139 buyers who praise its hybrid design, comfort, and support, though some users report it sleeps warm and feels softer than marketed. At $993–$1145, it delivers solid comfort for side sleepers but oversells its cooling capability.

Frequently asked
What buyers want to know.
What do buyers say about comfort and support?
Owners rate comfort and support highly at 4.7 and 4.8 respectively out of 5. Reviewers note the medium firmness profile delivers equal parts pressure relief and support, making it versatile for different sleep positions. The adaptive foam top layer with graphite and cooling gel contributes to the pressure relief witho…
Does this mattress sleep cool?
Temperature regulation scores 4 out of 5 from buyers, but some owners report it sleeps warm compared to newer models. While the mattress includes cooling materials in its top layer, multiple users note it runs warmer than expected, so the marketing claim of "exceptional cooling" overstates the actual performance.
Is it good for back sleepers?
Yes. Reviewers note the strong support and coil system help keep the spine neutrally aligned, making it ideal for back sleepers. Firmness ratings average 4.2 out of 5, confirming the medium feel supports neutral spine alignment without excessive softness.
How easy is setup and delivery?
Buyers rate setup and delivery highest at 4.8 out of 5. The mattress arrives ready to use with no configuration or adjustment needed—the hybrid design works out of the box.
Is this a good value?
Buyers rate value for money at 4.6 out of 5. Three of five press outlets recommend it as a solid mid-range hybrid from an established brand. It delivers strong performance in comfort, support, and firmness without premium brand markup, though it lacks the deep review depth or category-leading positioning of top-tier m…
What's the catch?
Some owners find it softer than expected and report it sleeps warmer than the newer Mint Hybrid model. The mattress oversells its cooling capability despite including cooling materials in the top layer.
