Founded in 2012, Tuft & Needle has become one of the largest bed-in-a-box retailers on the market, a pretty remarkable feat considering that the company has spent most of its operative years selling only one mattress. But that all changed this past February when, much to the clamor of fans on Reddit, the brand finally unveiled its second model: the Tuft & Needle Mint.

Today, I’ll be taking a side-by-side look at the Mint and its predecessor, trying to suss out what makes them similar and, more importantly, what sets them apart. And who knows-by the end of this comparison, you might just discover the bed of your dreams!

I’ve been watching mattress reviews all week and this one was recommended for side sleepers on another video....but your review was more thorough and helped me feel more confident in choosing this brand. I’m 5’9”, 130lbs, side sleeper and i love soft feeling mattresses due to firmer ones causing should pain..I’m looking into the mint.
Hi Logan, thanks for your help. I'm 5' 8" 210-220 lbs and sleep mostly on my stomach, but sometime on my side. I do have a lower back problem and prefer a cool mattress, but not a deal breaker. one last thing I have a platform bed and prefer 11" or higher mattress
Thank you for your deep comparisons.
Glad it was useful Joo-Young!
In desperate need of a mattress. I am 5’4 122lbs, my husband is 5’9 155lbs. We are both side sleepers. I sleep hot. I need hip relief and have just had my 2nd back surgery on the lower back. Would love your recommendation. Been researching and I’m so confused 🤷♀️ can’t wait to hear from you!!
Great review - I am 300 pounds single guy 6'5" side sleeper - what would you recommend....
What would be your opinion re: purple vs Mint? I'm interested in the Mint, which is a pretty similar price point to Purple. I do prefer a soft bed (I'm 100lbs, 4'10", multi-sleeper). Would using a featherbed-alternative topper be detrimental to the feel of a Purple (also do you have rec for down alternative toppers)?
Hi Logan, would love to see a comparison video of the T&N Mint mattress vs the Casper Wave mattress!! We have the original T&N and found it to be too firm. They sent out a mattress topper which has helped a bit, but I'm still on the fence about whether to keep the mattress or not. We tried out the Casper Wave at our local mall (they have a retail store there) and I thought it felt great. However, the price of the Casper Wave is much higher than Tuft & Needle and at $2000 we reasoned that we might as well spend a few extra hundred and buy something like a high end Tempur-Pedic (while pricey, we loved their Tempur-Cloud series). How would you compare the T&N Mint mattress to the Casper Wave mattress? Do you have any recommendations? Thank you!
For background, I am 5'10 160lbs and my wife is 5'4 110lbs. She can sleep on just about anything, whereas I tend to prefer something soft to medium. I'm usually a back sleeper and will move onto my side sometimes. My wife tends to be a side sleeper that will occasionally move onto her back
Hi! Id love your suggestion between the Tuft and needle mint or original for my husband and I. I’m mostly a side sleeper but will lay on my back sometimes. I weigh around 118 pounds. Right now I have two herniated disc’s in my neck. My husband is mostly a back sleeper and weighs around 185. We took a sleep test at some mattress store and we both were in the soft category. I was in the middle of the softest level and he was towards the end of it by the firmer soft side but still in the soft category. Thank you!
Hi Logan! First thanks so much for doing these videos🤘 I could use your help. I am 200-210 lbs side sleeper primarily. I just got a Casper and to me it feels excellent for stomach and Back sleeping but for side sleeping it does not do the job. I just don’t feel fully comfortable. Definitely feeling pressure points on my side. What is your recommendation for a bed that has better pressure point relief but still has occasional support for back and stomach sleeping? ThAnks again!
Hi Matt - glad the videos are useful! So if Casper isn't doing the job on the side, you might consider a slightly softer mattress (though I wouldn't go too soft if you are stomach sleeping as well). You might also consider Purple - a totally different feel, but I think it's great for pressure relief as well.
I’m 5”3 and 150 lbs. I’m a side and tummy sleeper. I sleep alone well besides my small tiny dog. I have a lot of neck and back pain on my matress now and my arms go numb sometimes. I can’t sleep at all. I don’t want to be hott I live in the desert. Thanks :).
what would be your top 4 or 5 foam/memory foam mattress recommendations for a very lightweight (125LBS) 5ft 11 mostly side sleeper, needing pressure point relief but also needing excellent spinal alignment support due to ankylosing spondylitis RA disease please? your insights are greatly appreciated.
Thank you for the comparison. We currently have a T&N in our guestroom and are looking at replacing our mattress with one, but debating getting the Mint. I am a very warm sleeper so a cooler mattress is huge plus. I initially thought that the Mint would be the way to go with the additional graphite in the foam, but from your comparisons it sounds like the original is actually cooler due to the cover. Is that true?
I'm a 160 lb mixed sleeper (mostly back) and my wife is 140lb back and side sleeper.
Looking at your video's and must say, wow. great detailed reviews. thank you so much. I do have a question which I hope you'll provide some insight to. My partner is a stomach sleeper and I'm a side sleeper. We are looking for a good quality bed in a box to fit our needs. we narrowed it down to tuft and needle mint and the allswell luxe but perhaps you can shine some light into another choice or your opinion on those two. Thank you so much and look forward to hearing from you!
Hmmm, interesting, those are really different beds. The Mint is a bit softer and better for side sleeping while the allswell luxe is going to provide firmer support for stomach sleeping. Have you looked at the DreamCloud?
@@Sleepopolis after careful review of your channel we literally just bought the Logan and cove. the allswell didnt ship to Canada. your reviews are perfect though. thank you so much! your awesome
Another great mattress!
Hi Logan. I'm a 210 lbs combination side and stomach sleeper. I'm looking into Tuft & Needle. They were recommended by a friend, but with the new addition of the Mint, I'm unsure which would be the better option. I typically run hot temperature wise and my hips are off by about 3 degrees.
I found the Mint to be a bit softer than the original so as a combo stomach sleeper I think you might find the original a bit more to your liking.
Great review - Thanks for the information! I’m 6’4” 180 pounds and currently sleep on a tempurpedic Allura bed. On my current bed, I find that I get lower back pain in the mornings, almost like the mattress doesn’t fill in the space between my lower back and bed. Given that scenario, is there one you would recommend over another (mint vs original)?
Probably the Mint, a little bit softer, more comfort foam to fill in that space under your lower back
Thanks for the review! I am 5' 7" & 115lbs back sleeper. Which one would you recommend? I'm afraid the original T&N may feel too firm because of my weight. Thanks!
If you're looking for a softer mattress then I would say the Mint is the choice of these two
How long do these mattresses feel like the day you got them? A lot of people are saying after three months or year they all feel terrible.
I’m 5ft 3in and 135 lbs
I usually fall asleep on my side but end up on my stomach at some point. I’m single and use a full size bed. What would you recommend between the original and the mint? It’s Black Friday and they’re both having good deals but 200 bucks saved if the original is better is still 200 bucks saved haha.
hello- great review. we are looking for a new mattress. we have an old DWR Sonno Latex mattress (15 years). We feel like we are beaten up every morning. my shoulders are particularly sore (probably need a tempurpedic pillow for the head and a down pillow to support shoulder). currently, the mattress sits on a frame (low). We have decided to buy a box foundation to raise the bed up regardless of what we purchase as a mattress. I am 6'4" 200 lbs. Side sleeper. Wife is 5'10 145 lbs. back sleeper. We don't like sinking into mattresses or soft mattresses. We have a memory foam (or latex...not sure) topper that we will use with the mattress. Which king mattress would you recommend? Thank you. Mike & Stacey
I think that the Tuft & Needles might be a little soft for you. If you're looking for a traditional innerspring I would check out WinkBeds or if you're in the market for a bed in a box then take a look at DreamCloud. With regards to the topper, if you don't like sinking into bed then don't use memory foam.
What would you recommend for a couple on a budget? My sleep preference is firm but my girlfriend likes it soft, we have to compromise somewhere in the middle. We were looking to get a queen hopefully with some edge support. Is the Tuft to Needle mattress a good choice or is there other brands that would be better for similar prices.
I really like the Tuft and Needle for a reasonably priced mattress with a medium firmness. You could also take a look at The Allswell if you want something with more bounce to it: ua-cam.com/video/V1JVegHgh3o/v-deo.html
Would you recommend the Mint for a heavier guy that typically runs hot when he sleeps and identifies as a combo sleeper? Otherwise what are some of your other recs for the hot and heavy combo sleeper?
Hi Duggan! I don't know the recommended weight limit from T&N, but just based on construction I think it should hold up well for sleepers on the heavier side (~250 lbs). Though I would check with them to confirm what they recommend based on their design.
If heavier than that, you might check out a mattress designed for heavy sleepers - some of my favorite picks are here: sleepopolis.com/best-mattress/best-mattress-for-heavy-people/
Let me know if you have any follow-up questions, or if more recommendations would be useful!
Hi Logan - my wife and I, 140lbs and 100lbs respectively are looking at T&N Mint or Layla based on reviews and videos we've watched. She's a side sleeper and I'm a back sleeper. Which would you recommend? We've only tried out the Casper and Leesa in person which were OK
I like both but I'd probably lean toward the Mint in your situation.
Great reviews! My wife and I are currently looking for a new bed. She is also 20 weeks pregnant! I saw this new mint version and I am torn between this, the Ghostbed, and a Serta iComfort 100 bed from mattress firm. Budget is around 1500. The Serta might have a free adjustable base. My wife is mostly a side sleeper (cause she is pregnant) and I am a back sleeper. We would like a medium firm type which is not too soft but not too firm where she feels pressure on the side. There are just so many options now! Thanks!
First of all, congratulations! Second, I would say these are all great options. I personally really like the T&N Mint and think its a great option for sleepers. I will say that we see pregnant women change their preferences quite a bit, so you may also want to take into account what type of sleeper she normally is for after the pregnancy. Short term adjustments like mattress toppers can be a nice option to provide some added softness for pressure relief during pregnancy.
Sleepopolis she is still a side sleeper but would sleep more on her back when she’s not pregnant. I’m just torn on what to get!
I would say try out the Mint. It's a great mattress and worst case scenario you can return it on the sleep trial.
Hey Logan, thanks for the info on the T&N. I'm your size and weight. Looking for something on the firmer side. I'm a stomach sleeper primarily and can have some issues with the lower back. I recently tried another online mattress and it's just too soft. Feels like I'm slogging around in the bed when I'm changing positions. We currently have a twin XL setup. What would you recommend along with the T&N for a firmer/not getting stuck in bed feeling?
If you don't want to feel stuck in your mattress I would check out some latex options: sleepopolis.com/mattress-reviews/latex-mattress-reviews/
Something with coils, like the Avocado, could provide the support you're looking for.
Thanks. We are giving one of the firmer Amerisleep beds a go for now. We liked that they have a variety of comfort/firmness levels. Had a chance to try them out in their store. Any thoughts on Amerisleep?
Great review, exactly the info I needed when comparing both T&N mattresses. I'm leaning towards the mint, we have two original T&N's for our kids which my wife and actually really were impressed and love the feel of the original. But we do need the edge support for when the kids come into bed with us occasionally. I am only concerned of the soft feel. I'm 6'1 230 side & back sleeper and wife is 5'4 135 mostly side sleeper. We both tend to prefer a firmer mattress. Which would you recommend? Thanks again - great work!

I'd like to know this as well...I am about 255 and am in the market for a new mattress. Been looking at the mint but at this point open to any brand....just gotta find one that is best for my frame
Thank you for asking this. I just wrote a similar questions. My kids are violent sleepers and I get pushed to or move to edge for safety😆. I don’t want to fall off or feel like I’ll fall off. I think I’ll go with the Mint for the security. I hope it will be a firm enough bed. The 100 nights No-Risk is what’s going to help me take the risk😀
We got the Mint but ended up exchanging it for the T&N original. Found the mint to be very firm, where the T&N original has a much more overall comfortable feel. Just wish it had the edge support.
I had the original design before they made it softer. I ordered the newer one and it's way to soft is there a comparable mattress to the old design before they changed the design?
Tuft & Needle uses a proprietary foam in their comfort layer, so nothing matches the old design exactly, but you may find something similar in the Foam Combo section sleepopolis.com/mattress-reviews/foam-mattress-reviews/
I have kiddos who occasionally sneak into my bed ,especially during thunderstorms. Will the person’s on the edge of the bed feel like they will fall off without the reinforcement of the sides?
Hi Laney - really depends on how close you are to the edge of the bed ;) But if you're looking at Tuft and Needle Mint vs Original, the Mint will have noticeably better performance on the edge.
Hi, I am 5'5" 160 pounds and husband is 5'7" 200 pounds. We are both back and side sleepers and both prefer a firmer mattress. My husband also tends to sleep very hot. Which of the Tuft and Needle would you recommend? Also, what mattress cover is good to use that will protect the mattress from allergens and fluids (husband's hot sleeping and young son's leaks and spills), without compromising the performance of the mattress or causing it to sleep hot. Thanks so much for the info you give!
Out of the two Tuft & Needle mattresses I find the original a bit firmer, so I would start there. Check out our mattress protector reviews here: sleepopolis.com/mattress-protector-reviews/
Thanks for the advice! As luck would have it, the original T&N was on sale on Prime Day (saved $140!!!!). It's being delivered today....WOOHOO!!!! (fingers crossed)
Casper original or Tuft and Needle Mint? (light sleepers, back/side, couple)
Tough call tbh, I'd say Casper has better support but the Mint sleeps a little cooler. Depends on what is more important to you.
which would be better for someone suffering with back knots, and fibromyalgia and arthritis? My shoulders hurt so much when I lie in my current serta really bed I've had for 10 years. They feel like so achy..pain level 9. I want to order a tuft and needle asap. anyone know what can resolve my pressure points. So far only acupuncture helps. And over the weekend I was in Pennsylvania and I slept a firm mattress I woke up with almost 75% less pain for 2 days and now I am back to my pain again at home. So I am guessing ITS THE BED!!!
Hi Aneela, I'm always hesitant to suggest solutions for medical situations. I would say that if it's a firm mattress you're looking for that these might not be the best choice. The Amerisleep AS1 and AS2 are both all foam mattresses that provide firm feels. Especially the AS1 which is one of the firmest beds I've ever tested: ua-cam.com/video/omdAEX-OLIM/v-deo.html
I watched your recommendation. For some reason I am interested in the Mint Tuft & Needle. But I just googled safety and shockingly here’s what I found? Is this true? Can you either confirm or deny? Have you already done a UA-cam video on which is most to lease harmful? That would be an amazing and remarkable comparison!!! I’m certain millions would think you for sharing your expertise!!
Hi Aneela, not sure what you are referring to or what products you think may be harmful.
I cant decide between the mint or the original casper.
Both good options, I like the caspers zoned support for side sleepers while I think the mint sleeps a bit cooler
hi logan. eric here. you replied to my comment in you tuft and needle mint review. i ended up purchasing the mint. ive had it for about 3 weeks now and i gotta say that ive had some trouble sleeping on it since the 1st night. i am mostly a stomach sleeper so i do wake up with lower back pain but its way better than what i was experiencing with my old mattress. ive had to adjust my position from side to back to stomach multiple times through the night. i just cant seem to find 100% comfort. last night slept on the back end edge of the mattress (across) and its about the best sleep ive had since i first purchased it. ive thought about changing it to the the original tuft and needle but im a bit skeptical. any suggestions from you would be greatly appreciated. as a reminder im 5'9 245 lbs.
Hi there! Sorry the Mint didn't get it all right, but glad it is heading towards the right direction!
Comfort is a bit hard to make a recommendation on (some people, including me, find the Mint very comfortable). Is there anything more specific you can say of what you didn't like with the Mint, or what you wish were a bit better?
i wish the mint had a more firm feel all round instead of just on the edges because of the extra edge support is has. i cannot sleep comfortably in any position if im anywhere other than the edges of the bed. i realize im a heavy built guy and perhaps that is why. i also have a feeling that the more i lay on it the softer the foam becomes. once i get home and lay on the mattress it feels great but withing 30 minutes or so it softens up and i have to shift to another part of the mattress. im a little stressed out on what to do next, whether to keep it or switch to something else? is there another bed in a box matress you might recommend that may have a more firm feel through the entire mattress? thanks logan
I’d say 245 is sadly to heavy for this kinda bed that’s what I’ve heard :/ no support if someone is over 220.

The foam is comfortable inside the mattress.
Hi. I'm 5'8" 180lb with a shoulder impingement. I've had memory foam in the past where I experienced terrific lower back aches. I found that I sunk in these beds and could not move from side to side without requiring the aid of a small ladder. I'm a side sleeper but never end up in the same spot that I originated in. May I ask how long you stayed on your side before trying to switch sides? I have been told that anything less than 20 min is pointless. Thanks
I tend to roll around quite a bit, changing from my side to my stomach mostly. I dont generally time myself, but I tested out on my side for a while.
@@Sleepopolis thanks
@@oscarc7853 No problem!
I just got the mint
Nice! How do you like it?
I have arthritis in my back and neck. I'm learning to sleep on my side after a lifetime of stomach sleeping. Which mattress would be best for me. I weigh about 165 lbs.
As a stomach sleeper myself I know the struggle to switch is real. I like the Mint a bit better for side sleepers because of its soft feel.
I assume these mattresses can be rotated but not flipped, right. Do regular sheets fit these or do I need to buy yours.
Also I know I just missed the Presidents Day sale. Another coming soon?
Correct, rotate don't flip. Any sheets you like will work.
T&N doesn't usually run any deals on the original but the Mint currently has a $200 sale going on.
Ugh the mint seems so hott!!!!! I live in Phoenix I can’t have hott ..
T&N Mint is definitely designed to sleep cool - actually the company is based out of Phoenix, so they'd have a lot of complaining employees if that weren't the case 😂😂
Tuft and needle original vs Brooklyn Bowery.
I have a king mint and it’s way too hard for me .
Wow, I'm surprised, I find it to be pretty soft
is it hot?
Both are designed to sleep cool
Farther, not further.
The graphic of the 200lb fella is a lot unflattering. Good video/demo, though.
