Tuft & Needle could be considered an old-timer in the online industry, but it’s not done creating new products to shake up its inventory. Teamed up with Serta Simmons, the brand combines old and new technology to deliver a product that it believes can suit every sleeper.

The company’s Original model was a heavy hitter in the online world, and while the Mint gave sleepers a more luxurious foam option, T&N recently released a product to add to the lineup. The all-new Hybrid is constructed with the tried-and-true Adaptive® foam and two coil layers for a more classic innerspring feel.

This in-depth Tuft & Needle Hybrid review will get into specifics such as firmness and feel and let you know what kinds of sleepers this mattress might be best suited for. Or you can skip to the end and see our final score.

What We Like About The Tuft & Needle Hybrid:

• Combination sleepers – Repositioning on this mattress is a breeze, and you should not feel stuck when moving from your back to your stomach or side throughout the night.
  

  ---

• Couples – The supportive coils and reinforced edges make this bed feel bigger than it actually is, which is key for couples who want some extra space.
  

  ---

• Hybrid fans – Many sleepers enjoy the feel of a traditional spring bed but want the benefits of comforting foam. On T&N Hybrid, you don’t have to choose.

Tuft & Needle Hybrid Complaints:

• It doesn’t have a classic memory foam feel – This bed won’t give you that slow, deep contouring that an all-foam or memory mattress should. Those that want a mattress that hugs them may prefer the Original or Mint mattress instead.

Overall Summary

This bed takes a springy new spin on the brand’s classic model with added coil layers and quick-response foams.

Side Sleepers 4/5

Most side sleepers should benefit from the pressure-relieving top foam layers that cushion the hips and shoulders. Those who want something a touch softer may opt for the Mint.

Back Sleepers 5/5

Most back sleepers should feel a happy-medium of support and comfort, and their spine should feel aligned. The nice balance between pressure relief and support should make this an ideal choice for the majority of back sleepers.

Stomach Sleepers 4/5

Many stomach sleepers will love the supportive double-coiled construction that gives their hips some extra love to help maximize spine alignment. Some stomach sleepers may find this just a tad too soft, especially those who are on the heavier side.

Combination Sleepers 4/5

Combination sleepers should have no trouble repositioning, thanks to the double coil systems that provide pushback support. Hybrids are a great choice for combination sleepers because of the versatile combination of pressure relief from foam coupled with support from springs.

Couples 4/5

Most couples should be very pleased with the enhanced edge support, limited motion transfer, and cooling this mattress offers. Being not too hard and not too soft also makes it a good compromise for couples who have different sleeping preferences.

Heavy Sleepers 4/5

Hybrids can be a great choice for heavier folks due to their durability and support systems. Heavier back and side sleepers should feel well-supported by the dual-coil systems, while the durable foams work to provide long-lasting pressure relief. Some heavier stomach sleepers may find this mattress too soft for proper spinal alignment.

Light-Weight Sleepers 4/5

Lighter individuals who tend to sleep on their stomach or back should feel well-supported and comforted by the Adaptive® foam and two pocketed coil layers. Light-weight side sleepers will likely find this hybrid a tad too firm to allow their shoulders and hips to sink into the layers for adequate pressure relief. These folks would be better served by one of T&F’s softer options.

Overall Value 4/5

T&N Hybrid is ideal for those who want the bounciness and quick-response of a spring bed with the comfort of foam. Using Adaptive® foam and two coil layers, this mattress offers a good mixture of pressure relief and support that combination sleepers should love.

From a brand that has taken the lead in a transformative industry, this new hybrid model is an exceptional option for couples and individuals alike.
