Cover	Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only. Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.	Our proprietary Poly+Rayon cover is not only soft as silk-wrapped marshmallows, its tough enough to withstand anything life can throw its way. The cover is also removable and machine washable.

Comfort	Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress. Heat Wicking Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body. Breathable With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress. No More Quicksand Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply. Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.	Our top layer, the ThermaPhase comfort layer, is the culmination of years of development. Our comfort layer combines two different phase-change materials that target temperatures on both ends of the optimal sleep zone. Upon reaching an ideal sleeping temperature, the phase change material undergoes a molecular transformation that works to maintain the temperature at the optimal level. This results in a mattress that will keep you cool when its warm, and will help keep you warm when its cold. There is not a more technologically advanced, or more comfortable mattress available, period. Our ThermaPhase comfort layer, is the culmination of years of development. We combined two different phase-change materials that react to temperature fluctuation. The result is a "Smart" mattress that will react to heat and actively cool the sleeping surface. OR if sleeping conditions become too cold, the Thermaphase molecules will redistribute absorbed heat to help keep you warm.
Support	Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot. Supportive Base Layer Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress. Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.	Each layer was engineered with varying levels of density and weight capacity to provide dynamic support. Our top 3 layers are a patent pending hybrid-foam package that we call Z3. The Z3 package utilizes various pressure ratings that only engage when necessary, providing the right amount of support and comfort for any size user, and optimal pressure point relief for back and joint pain.
