Firmness info

Puffy is a 6 to 8 on the firmness scale. Offering a Medium-Firm comfort.

Generally speaking, we describe both of our mattresses as medium-firm in feel. However, we also understand even that description can be subjective. Two people sleeping on the same mattress might have contrasting opinions - it could be too soft, too firm, or just right. That's why we offer our 100-night sleep trial to ensure every person has the opportunity to decide if the Tuft & Needle mattress is the right fit for them, and return it if it's not.

ComfortWhat makes Puffy the perfect bed? The secret is consistency. You can expect the same comfortable and supportive sleep year-round - regardless of the environment. Thanks to an additional layer to both Puffy models that is made of our ClimateComfort™ Foam, this foam provides high pressure-relieving capabilities across a broad range of temperature and humidity levels - making it resistant to the contraction and expansion that often occurs from extreme temperatures (often attributed to seasonal climate change). Specifically, it is designed to prevent contraction in the cold and expansion in the heat. Cooling Cloud™ Comfort Layer We've got the competition beat! Our patent pending Cooling Cloud Memory foam disperses heat away from your body using convection and conduction allowing for more effective airflow. Puffy's Gel Infused Foam increases airflow 8x more than standard foam mattresses that you can purchase online, leaving you cool, comfortable and well rested.1. More Graphite 30% extra graphite maximizes cooling, sweeping 50% more heat away from the body. 2. Higher Quality Gel Upgraded Ceramic Gel absorbs 5 times more heat than conventional blue-gel products. 3. Open Cell Technology Our open-cell foam technology is designed to allow air to flow freely through the mattress, increasing breathability. 1. Comfy Top Layer We optimized the top layer of Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam to be a progressive combination of comfy and pressure relieving. 2. Cozy Cover A new thick, knit cover adds durability and coziness. 3. Pressure Relief Our progressive support and super comfortable top layers are designed to remove pressure points and bring relief.
SupportThe Puffy Mattress is not only comfortable, but it's also strong and durable. Puffy's 6" Firm Support Layer and its Insta-Firm technology provides 99% better responsiveness and four times the support of standard mattresses. In fact, Puffy will be the most supportive mattress you ever sleep on! The base layer is a polyurethane foam (non-latex) manufactured with our VPF. It is a full six inches and provides exceptional support and spinal alignment for restorative sleep.The three layers in the Mint® Mattress work together to provide remarkable support that you'll find comfortable immediately as well as throughout the night. We increased the softness of the top layer for better pressure relief, increased the firmness of the bottom support layer (for edge support), and added a middle transitional layer to keep you from "bottoming" out. 1. Progressive Support Ordering our layers in a gradual firmness combines comfort and support. The more you push, the more it pushes back to meet you. 2. More Gel Beads 30% more gel beads in our second layer add cushion-like support. 3. More Edge Support Our improved, firmer base layer adds comfortable edge support.

FAQs

Puffy

Is puffy mattress healthy?

Yes, all Puffy mattress foams are CertiPUR-US® certified. Each foam layer is independently tested in a lab to meet the highest global foam safety and quality standards. It's been thoroughly tested to ensure it doesn't contain harmful chemicals.

How do you clean a Puffy mattress?

The Puffy Cloud Mattress is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance. Its Cloud Cover, which is stain-resistant, features a zip-n-wash design and can be spot cleaned using mild detergents or other gentle household cleaning products. To maintain freshness, the Puffy Signature Mattress Protector, which is waterproof and comes free with any mattress purchase, can be used. It offers comfort akin to a cloud and is made of premium cooling materials.

Does the Puffy Mattress sag?

Like many all-foam beds, it may start to sag earlier than a mattress that includes innerspring support. However, Puffy offers a lifetime warranty on this mattress, so if your old Puffy mattress starts to sag you may be able to replace it for free!

Tuft & Needle Mint

How soft is Tuft and Needle Mint?

The Tuft and Needle Mint mattress is slightly softer than the original, with a firmness level of medium to medium-soft, or a 4 out of 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).

Does Tuft and Needle Mint sleep hot?

The Tuft & Needle Mint is not cool to the touch, but it is very cooling for a foam mattress. It uses graphite and cooling gel beads to promote breathability, making it suitable for hot sleepers who prefer a gentle all-foam feel.

Is Tuft and Needle Mint good for stomach sleepers?

The Tuft & Needle Mint provides enough support to prevent most stomach sleepers' hips from sinking in excessively and causing strain on their spines. However, some stomach sleepers, especially those who weigh more or carry most of their weight near their midsections, may experience more significant sinkage.
