Tuft & Needle vs Boring Mattress - The Clear Winner

I co-founded Tuft & Needle in 2012 and spent a decade learning what makes a great mattress. Boring is everything I've learned, built from the ground up.

    Our mattresses are designed to work with a variety of foundations, but for the best sleep experience, we generally recommend a solid, supportive base with slats no more than 5 inches apart. Here are a few options:

    • Platform Bed: A solid, flat surface with slats provides excellent support and doesn’t require a box spring.
    • Adjustable Base: Our mattresses are compatible with most adjustable bases, which can offer added comfort for those who prefer a customizable sleep position.
    • Box Spring: If you prefer a traditional box spring, especially for added height, just ensure it’s in good condition and offers stable support.

    If you have a specific frame or foundation in mind, feel free to reach out, and we’d be happy to help confirm it’s a great fit!

    No, our products do not contain fiberglass.

    Super comfortable and a great value

    I was looking to replace an original Tuft and Needle when I found this company, started by one of the Tuft and Needle founders. Tried a queen Boring mattress, loved it, and ended up buying a second. It's more comfortable, supportive, and breathable than my old T&N. To anyone looking to replace a T&N and avoid all of the sketchy mattress marketing hype: you've come to the right place.

    A month in and we couldn't be happier

    We really like that Boring has a trial period for a year and a 10 year guarantee. It makes mattress shopping less daunting. Our last mattress was a cheap one from Wayfair and it lasted a few years before we had issues.
    So far we have loved this mattress! It has only been a month, but we sleep a lot better.
    Pros:
    memory foam (or magic) keeps my back from being so achy in the morning.
    I don't toss and turn as much as I use to, now I am more of a back and side sleeper unlike before, which was any which way.
    Year long trial makes me feel comfortable and like I will have a better understanding of the mattress.
    Cons:
    much shorter than our old mattress, not a deal breaker - especially since our old mattress was comically tall due to all the toppers we had to put on it to be comfortable.
    Had a smell at first but was gone within a week. My husband didn't even smell it at all.

    Great mattress

    So comfortable. We added a mattress topper and it makes it perfect. Heavy as s#!t so use two people to get it in place out of the box. But it's worth it. Would recommend. Hope it lasts a long time.

    So amazing!!

    I was worried at first, buying a matress online seemed scary but I read a lot of reviews and looked through NapLab. Their review sold it to me. This matress is exactly what I needed. It’s tall and spongy without feeling like it’s eating you. It’s great for stomach sleepers, side sleepers and probably everything else. My husband loves it and he no longer wakes up when I’m tossing and turning. This bed is so comfy, and for the price, nothing can beat it! It’s the best bed I’ve ever had.
