Our take
Stay cool with added comfort layers.
Alright, so the Tuft & Needle Mint Mattress is supposed to be an upgrade from the original one, right? I've slept on a bunch of mattresses, and I can tell you this one isn’t messing around with comfort. The first thing that hits you is how soft the top layer feels, like you’re lying on a cloud. Seriously. But here’s the kicker: it’s not just about being soft. It’s got this responsive foam that adjusts to your body, so you’re not sinking in like quicksand. If you like a bed that’s plush but still supportive, this could be your jam.
Now, let's talk about temperature. I don’t know about you, but I hate waking up all sweaty in the middle of the night. The Mint Mattress has this cooling gel stuff in the foam that’s supposed to help with that. Does it work? Mostly, yeah. It’s definitely cooler than a lot of memory foam beds I’ve tried. It’s not like sleeping on a block of ice or anything, but it does a decent job of keeping things chill. If you’re a hot sleeper, it’s worth considering.
Edge support is where some mattresses fall flat—pun intended. You know that feeling when you roll to the side and it feels like you might just slide off? The Mint is better than most here, but it’s not perfect. You’re not gonna fall off or anything, but if you like to sit on the edge a lot, you might notice a bit of give. It holds up fine for sleeping, though, so unless you’re planning on doing gymnastics on the edge, you’re probably good.
If you’re sharing the bed, motion isolation is a big deal. No one wants to feel like they’re on a trampoline every time their partner moves. The Mint does a solid job with this. You can flop around like a fish, and it’s not gonna disturb the other person much. That’s a big win if you’ve got a partner who tosses and turns like they’re training for an Olympic event.
So, what’s the downside? Well, the price is higher than the original Tuft & Needle, and that might make you hesitate. You’re paying for the extras like the cooling tech and the plush feel. If those are important to you, it might be worth the splurge. But if you’re on a tight budget, you might want to weigh how much those features matter to you. At the end of the day, it’s a solid mattress with a lot of perks, but it’s not the cheapest option out there. Pick what fits your sleep style and budget, and you’ll be golden.
