toomuchsvuI bought a Nod by Tuft & Needle from Amazon 5 years ago. It's by far the best mattress I've ever had. It's memory foam but it's not super squishy. It's medium soft. Movement doesn't transfer. I'm a side sleeper, sometimes stomach and an ex bought one because mine was so comfortable. ETA it doesn't trap heat but it's an online order so you can't test it. It's still going strong.
EmmskeeinAKThank you so much for posting this. I have sciatica issue and currently sleep on a memory foam mattress from turf and needle. I went on vacation to italy and the bed was a simmons cares mattress. My back stopped hurting and actually did not hurt for the first 5 days after I returned home. Now I have been home for 2 weeks and my back is in so much pain. It never dawned on me that the bed could be causing my back pain. The bed is manufactured in italy but I hope that there is a similar one available in the US. Any suggestions for a similar mattress?
10202632We’ve had a king size Leesa (Classic, I think) for seven years and it’s maybe the best mattress I’ve ever had. I think we paid $1200. We also have a king Tuft and Needle from Amazon for about $600. It’s been good, albeit on the firm side so we put a 2” gel pad and it’s really nice. We have had mattresses from Puffy (not bad) and IKEA (way too firm). All of these are bed-in-a-box type mattresses.
AnneemaiGet a solid wood or steel platform frame and spend your money on a good midrange mattress (Costco, Sleep On Latex, Purple, Casper, Tuft & Needle) and a latex mattress topper if needed. I would estimate $200 frame, $500-$1000 mattress, $150 topper.
AttentionWorth3685tuft and needle is fine for the price but nothing special
bedlogstay away from Purple. They have a powder in the mattress eggshell thing that some consumers dont like. I have a mattress from tuft and needle that I bought over a decade ago 750 for a king. They sold to a larger mattress maker so I have no idea current quality is. Im 215, sleep all over the bed but generally side sleeper
beefkurtainDo you have any input on Tuft and Needle? Ive had a king size mattress from them for about 4 years now and no complaints so far. Just wondered if you had any pros and cons
bunmiiyai think the lowest end mattresses at ikea will be your limited options. they can deliver. but, as someone who got a $200 mattress for college thinking i’d upgrade sooner, PHEW did i not upgrade soon enough. i didn’t realize so much of my body pain and aches in my early twenties was a result of a bad mattress. if you have to go cheap for now, i get it. but it’s also SO worth saving up for a quality mattress you can keep for a decade plus. quality sleep will improve all other aspects of life. after saving up i personally use a tuft and needle for my own and guest bed. my parents loved it so much they got one of their own.
