Editor’s Note: Tuft & Needle replaced the original Hybrid with the Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid mattress. The Mint Hybrid has a similar feel with additional cooling features and a zippable, washable cover.

Tuft & Needle has unveiled its first-ever hybrid model. After perfecting two all-foam mattresses, they’ve created a combination model of graphite-infused comfort foam and springy coils, designed to be pressure relieving, supportive, and super cool. 

But, is this mattress all it’s cracked up to be? I have personally tested this mattress and specifically target areas like motion transfer, edge support, pressure relief, firmness, and more, to provide you with the ultimate tell-all on the Tuft & Needle Hybrid. Let’s get started!

Is the Tuft & Needle Hybrid a Good Mattress for You? 

To start off, we put each of our mattresses through something called a “Rest Test,” where we lie down on the bed for an uninterrupted 15-minute power nap. This gives us a big-picture assessment of how it performs before we get into some of our more specific tests. Here’s how my colleague Amelia felt napping on the Tuft & Needle Hybrid mattress: 

“I really enjoyed the feel of the Tuft & Needle Hybrid. This bed offers a feel that is soft and plush, yet also feels very supportive. As someone who primarily sleeps on my back, I loved the balance of pressure relief and support I felt from this bed. It’s just the kind of bed I’d like to have at home! As far as the other sleeping positions, I felt fairly comfortable on my side. The soft upper layers of the mattress did a good job providing some pressure relief on my shoulder and hip. However, it felt a little too soft for stomach sleeping. I rarely sleep on my stomach though, so this doesn’t bother me much.”

P1063542
The Tuft & Needle Hybrid in the Sleepopolis studio.

Along with the Rest Test, I want to offer some quick recommendations for the Tuft & Needle Hybrid before we fully dive into this review since different factors, such as your body type and sleeping position, will determine whether or not a mattress will work for you.

Who I recommend the Tuft & Needle Hybrid mattress for

  •   Given its bouncy, supportive feel, I think the Hybrid could be a great fit for combo sleepers who need to move around and change positions in the night. In general, the mobility of the mattress is a big selling point for the Hybrid, and differentiates it from the other Tuft & Needle beds.
  • Back sleepers in particular should really enjoy the cushiony support they’ll experience on this hybrid bed.
  • Couples could also find a lot to love in the Hybrid’s extra edge support and decent motion transfer.  
P1063547

Who I don’t recommend the Tuft & Needle Hybrid mattress for

  • Memory foam lovers may prefer an all-foam mattress. Although this hybrid offers a little sinkage, it’s not as deep as some of our favorite memory foam beds feature.
  • I’d also say that the Hybrid is too soft for most stomach sleepers, who tend toward firmer structures that support a more neutral spine alignment.
  • The Tuft & Needle’s cover makes a little bit of noise as you move around on the bed, so anyone sensitive to noise may want to check out a different option.

How Firm is the Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress?

Now that you’ve read my recommendations, let’s dig into how the Hybrid feels, starting with firmness. We had a number of Sleepopolis experts test this mattress alongside, for the most accurate results possible. As with any feel-factor, firmness is a subjective measure that can change a lot depending on one’s body shape, size, and weight. So, my response to the Tuft & Needle Hybrid may be different from your own. 

Firmness 6 1
I found the Tuft & Needle Hybrid to have a medium-soft firmness

After stretching out in multiple positions, I decided to give the Tuft & Needle Hybrid a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, making it spot-on for the industry standard of a medium-firm. 

I gave the Hybrid a 6 because I found its bouncy pocketed coil system didn’t offset the gentle feel of the top layers of foam. That’s not to say the mattress isn’t sturdy and supportive (it is!), but the materials work together to strike a pleasant balance between lift and give.

Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress Performance 

We use a variety of tools to test this mattress for features like weight, sleeping position, pressure relief, motion transfer, and more, that will be important for helping different sleepers decide if this bed is right for them. Let’s see how the Hybrid measures up for you!

Testing the Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress in Different Sleeping Positions

Depending on your preferred sleeping position and weight, some mattresses will work for you, while others won’t. Below, you’ll find how I rated the Tuft & Needle Hybrid for these various sleepers.

Is the Tuft & Needle Hybrid a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 lb)?

  • Light Back Sleepers – With the balance of the foam and coil layers, I think this mattress would feel especially great for these sleepers.
  • Light Side Sleepers –  I think this bed may feel a bit too firm for these sleepers. I’d steer them to a softer mattress.
  • Light Stomach Sleepers – Since lighter sleepers may feel a bed as  firmer than advertised, I think the Tuft & Needle Hybrid would suit this sleeper.
P1063524
Stomach sleeping on the Tuft & Needle Hybrid in the Sleepopolis studio.

Is the Tuft & Needle Hybrid a Good Mattress for Average Weight Sleepers (130 – 250 lb)? 

  • Average Weight Back Sleepers –  These sleepers should be pleased as the foam layer of this mattress will provide some nice pressure relief at the lumbar region, and the springy coils will offer spinal support.
  • Average Weight Side Sleepers –  Side sleepers looking for added support could be happy on this bed, but those with shoulder or hip pain may want to opt for something softer.
  • Average Weight Stomach Sleepers –  This mattress isn’t going to be firm enough for these sleepers, who need more support to keep their hips from sinking out of line with their shoulders.
P1063521
Side sleeping on the Tuft & Needle Hybrid.

Is the Tuft & Needle Hybrid a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 250 lb)? 

  • Heavy Back, Side, and Stomach Sleepers – Being on the softer side of the firmness scale, this mattress won’t offer enough support for heavy sleepers. I recommend these sleepers check out our best mattresses for heavy people.

Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress Pain Relief Performance

When I refer to pressure relief, I’m basically talking about how well (or not well) a mattress is able to alleviate tension in the shoulders, hips, and lower back. To demonstrate this, I like to use a handy-dandy pressure map.

It works like this: I roll out the map, hop aboard, and let the gadget do the rest! As I move around, my body presses into the device, which then records this force and translates it into an easy-to-read graphic. Areas of blue indicate low pressure and areas of red indicate high pressure!

PressureMap Tuft NeedleHybrid
Pressure map results for the Tuft & Needle Hybrid

Many people suffer from back, shoulder, and hip pain, and the wrong mattress won’t do you any favors. It’s important to know how a bed will perform for you when you’re not your best, and I’ve separated each for you here.

Back Pain – A side sleeper with back pain needs a soft, yet supportive, mattress and I think the Hybrid would suit them well. Stomach sleepers will initially like the cushiony feel on top, but will find that they sink into the bed and their spine becomes misaligned. As for back sleepers, I think the combination of pressure relief and support of the lower back will offer them what they need.

Shoulder Pain – I don’t think there’s enough body contouring in this bed to provide the pressure relief a side sleeper with shoulder pain needs. I think that back sleepers would experience relief, as my spine felt most aligned and supported here.

Hip Pain – Similarly with shoulder pain, this mattress isn’t likely to provide the pressure relief or contouring that a side sleeper with hip pain needs. While sleeping on my stomach, my hips sank out of line with my shoulders, which can further hip pain. When it comes to back sleepers, I think that the foam could work to your benefit to offer lumbar support and relieve pressure.

Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress Performance for Couples

Double the humans equals double the heat, and two hot sleepers aren’t better than one. In addition to cooling features, there are many mattress characteristics that go into a couple’s decision to make a purchase.  In this section, we’ll cover motion transfer, edge support, sex, and of course, cooling. Cozy up with your special someone and get to reading!

Motion Transfer 

Motion transfer, or the amount of movement detectable from one side of a bed to the other, is an important measure for all sleepers, especially couples, as it simulates how disturbing your bedmate’s tossing and turning might be in the night.

To illustrate  motion transfer, I dropped a 10-pound steel ball from heights of 4 inches, 8 inches and 12 inches and measured the disturbance it caused: the bigger the lines, the bigger the disturbance.

MotionTransfer Tuft NeedleHybrid
Tuft & Needle Hybrid motion transfer results.

These are okay results, considering how bouncy the bed is. However, you are still likely to feel some movement in the night, particularly if your partner is a restless sleeper.

Sex

The thin, transition layer of coils beneath the layers of foam, plus the pocketed springs, make for  great bounce in this mattress. There is healthy balance of support and bouncability that makes this mattress good for sex.

Cooling 

Two people create more heat than one. Thankfully, the Tuft & Needle is great for cooling. Its top layer of foam is infused with graphite, which has thermoregulating properties. I would definitely recommend this mattress for hot sleepers.

Edge Support

Edge support tests whether the edges of the bed are sturdy enough to support you when you roll toward them or sleep on the edge. Couples will want a mattress with good edge support that will allow each partner to take advantage of more of the bed’s surface area.

The Tuft & Needle has good edge support. Though it’s not the best I’ve seen, you’ll feel relatively sturdy sleeping all the way on the edge of this bed without it sagging.

What is the Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress Made Of? 

While the Original and Mint mattresses feature relatively straightforward designs built entirely of foam, the Hybrid has a much more complex construction. Here, six layers of T&N Adaptive® foam, transitional coils, and pocketed springs come together to form a bouncy and supportive structure.

P1063550
A closer look at the Tuft & Needle Hybrid’s cover.

To see how it all works, let’s go through the layers one by one!

Comfort Layer – Up top, you’ll find 1 inch of quilted comfort foam. This soft material is built with an open-cell foam construction, so it offers breathability and cooling. The foam is also carbon fiber-infused, which further helps with temperature regulation.

Pressure Relief – Beneath the quilted pillow top, you’ll land on 2 inches of the brand’s Adaptive® foam. Though this material has a quick response to pressure points for a bit of lively lift, it’s also quite gentle, so should provide some nice pressure relief to the shoulders and hips. Additionally, the material is infused with graphite and cooling gel beads, which works to draw heat away from the body and dissipate it evenly throughout the structure.

Mobility – Next up, Tuft & Needle has slipped in a thin transitional layer of coils. This section is meant to support the layers of foam above it while gradually easing the sleeper into the firmer sections of the mattress. It also brings some nice bounce to the mattress!

Transition – This layer of Adaptive® foam works in tandem with the coils above it to transition the sleeper into the firm pocketed coils below.

Support Layer – The bulk of the mattress is composed of this 6-inch section of pocketed springs, which provides a healthy amount of bounce and support to the structure. Combo sleepers will surely appreciate the springs’ buoyant lift, as it makes moving around and changing positions a breeze. There’s also a layer of edge support wrapped around these coils, which expands the usable surface area of the mattress. This could be a big plus for couples who need to spread out and use the entire bed.

Base – And finally, the base of the bed consisted here of 1-inch of high-quality poly foam. This layer functions mostly to give the springs above it something upon which to react and rebound.

Thoughts: There’s a lot going on in this construction, but it comes together to support a structure that strikes a nice balance between bounce and pressure relief. I think combo sleepers will be particularly satisfied with this vibe, as well as couples, who might benefit most from the added edge support.

Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress Unboxing and Off-Gassing

Tuft & Needle suggests having a friend help you unbox their bed-in-a-box product, but they also say it’s doable solo, as long as you’ve got scissors. Once you unbox your mattress, you may find that it emits a unique smell. It’s a result of the vacuum packaged foam, which is nothing to worry about. Let your mattress rest and any smells should dissipate within a few hours.

My Final Thoughts about Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress

Before we finish up this deep dive into all things Tuft & Needle Hybrid, let’s revisit my personal highs and lows after testing the mattress. 

My favorite things about Tuft & Needle Hybrid mattress

I really like how this mattress best suits combination sleepers because everyone doesn’t always stick to one sleeping position. I also think that this mattress is a great choice for couples, with its impressive edge support and cooling abilities.

My Tuft & Needle Hybrid mattress complaints 

I wasn’t blown away by the body-contouring abilities of this mattress, making it a poor option for a lot of strict side sleepers and those in need of additional pressure relief. I also think that this mattress will not measure up for strict stomach sleepers. I found it to be a bit too plush, compared to the level of firmness that those sleepers need. Finally, compared to other brands on the market, I found this mattress to be a bit expensive.

How Much Does the Tuft & Needle Hybrid Cost? 

Below, you’ll find our pricing chart that includes every size, measurement, and price available for the Hybrid, all the way from Twin to Cal King.

Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress vs Tuft & Needle Mint Mattress

  • The Mint is more expensive than the Original, but less expensive than the T&N Hybrid 
  • The Mint puts a more luxurious spin on the Original Tuft & Needle with an extra foam layer for pressure relief.
  • In general, this bed has a soft, gentle feel that could make it a good pick for strict side sleepers.
  • For more on the Tuft & Needle Mint, read the full review. You can also check out our comparison between the Original and Mint models.

Tuft & Needle Mint Mattress

The Tuft & Needle Mint is an awesome budget mattress that combines high-quality materials with a low price tag. I’d highly recommend it to budget shoppers looking for a soft feel. This mattress is also really cooling for an all-foam bed, so it's great for hot sleepers.

Our Review Process

Our Sleepopolis reviewers personally test each mattress. We start by unboxing the mattress to figure out how difficult (or easy) it is to get the mattress from the box to the bed. Then, we spend time laying on the bed in different positions, taking time to assess it on our backs, stomachs, and sides. Next, we perform our Sleepopolis tests, using specialized tools to measure qualities like motion transfer, bounce, and pressure relief. Our last step is to open up the mattress and take a look at each layer. These steps allow us to give our final verdict on the mattress. Jump back to our mattress picks.

Take a look at how the Tuft & Needle Hybrid stacks up on our star chart below.

Tuft & Needle Hybrid Mattress Review (2024) | Sleepopolis
Tuft NeedleHybridMattressReview Feature

The Tuft & Needle Hybrid mattress best suits combination sleepers thanks to its cushiony support and responsiveness. It's also a great choice for couples, with impressive edge support and cooling abilities.
