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.

    As it says in their name! (Not a bad thing)

    I ordered their standard queen foam mattress because I was looking for something closest to the old Tuft and Needle mattresses. I will say that right from the first night I slept very well. I will say that it doesn’t feel like you’re sleeping in luxury necessarily, but as their brand name eludes to- it’s simple and straight forward- and for me that means I go to sleep, don’t wake up through the night and wake up without pain and feeling like I’m ready for the day. I don’t feel like royalty, but I don’t need to. It’s “boring” in the sense of it does what it’s supposed to do, and for me there’s not really much else to say, and it today’s complicated world, I am 100% okay with this. Have and will continue to recommend Boring mattress!

    The perfect mattress for us!

    We tried SO many mattresses before trying the boring mattress. For me, every mattress was either stiff or it caused you to slowly sink into the mattress creating significant pain points. The hybrid Boring mattress is the perfect middle ground. It is extremely soft to the touch and when you lay down, there are no pressure points. But yet, it is not like other soft mattresses we tried where you either sink in or end up sweating from it conforming. We had just about given up on finding a mattress me and my wife would both love, since her preference is more firm and mine is more soft. This mattress hit the mark for both of us and we are happy we made the decision to try it!

    Worth the $

    We bought a Tuft & Needle mattress a few years ago (that we still have), and decided to stick with the founders and choose a Boring hybrid mattress. We're happy with our choice!

    Very satisfied with our hybrid king mattress purchase.

    2 years ago we spent double the price on a Queen mattress from a different brand, that was not comfortable and hurt my hips and back. Needed to upgrade to a bigger mattress as well but didn't want to spend so much so soon again. Hubby and I did a lot of research and read a lot of opinions on Reddit, and we kept reading such positive things about Boring. Loved that staff from Boring often answered and helped people on Reddit as well. We decided to go for it with their great returns policy. With the mattress being so simply built, we were both pleasantly surprised how nice it felt. I also liked how much lighter it was than our previous mattress. So much easier to change the sheets! After a month I did have some hip soreness, but their great customer service team helped me with some ideas to relieve pressure, but then we got the topper and that has helped a lot! Great customer service is hard to come by nowadays.

    So far so great!!!!

    Just less than a month since I received my Boring AF mattress and I’ve had the best sleep that I’ve had in years. I feel like I’m sleeping on a fancy resort bed! So far so GREAT! Lightning fast shipping too!
