Tuft & Needle's mattress, made with their signature T&N Adaptive Foam, is meant to miss some of the common pitfalls of traditional memory foam.

The localized bounce means you can move without disturbing a sleeping partner. T&N Adaptive Foam "sleeps cool" and is made to be suitable for all sleeping positions and frames.
