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.

    Still in the getting used to it stage. Quality is good and the mattress is comfortable. Made a good choice in picking this brand.

    Finally a good online mattress

    Found Boring from a Reddit post after a few bad online mattress purchase/returns and being overwhelmed by contradictory online reviews. Boring had a great return policy and reviews so took the gamble that paying a little more would work out. It's definitely a plush medium firm (got the hybrid for added coolness). It can be made softer with a topper but the mattress alone was enough to not create pain as a side sleeper and be comfortable. There was no smell after a few hours and I've been sleeping well again for a month now. It really was worth the chance of buying online. If you like extremely firm, I'm not sure this is for you but for everyone else this should work well.

    Love it!

    I got the Bored AF hybrid mattress and it was definitely a great purchase! It’s been a few weeks and I don’t wake up with a sore back anymore and can get comfortable pretty quick!

    Great product and great service

    I was stuck in endless AI loops on other websites. I had a live person answer my questions on a Saturday morning. Fast shipping, excellent video for set-up. Great product, as advertised. Will be a repeat customer.
