Firmness Info | ||
The Tuft & Needle Original mattress is medium-firm in feel. It was designed to be universally comfortable and moderately firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. If the mattress isn't meeting your expectations, simply reach out to Tuft & Needle to initiate a hassle-free return. | The 3-inch Purple Grid™ layer is optimal for sleep position changers. Perfect balance of soft and firm for couples with mixed mattress-feel preferences who share the same bed. Petite customers (115-pounds or less) tend to prefer The Purple Premier, as their pressure points are better cradled due to a thicker Purple Grid. Similarly, customers who weigh 250-pounds or more have expressed a common interest in The Purple Premier, as it offers a bit more support. | The Douglas Summit mattress offers a medium-firm feel, striking the ideal balance between comfort and support:
* Firmness Level: Medium-Firm (6,5 on the firmness scale), suitable for all sleeping positions.
* **Adaptive Comfort**: The mattress contours to your body, providing personalized support without feeling too soft or too firm.
This balanced firmness ensures that you receive the necessary support for spinal alignment while enjoying the plush comfort that leads to restful sleep. |

Support Info | ||
T&N Adaptive® foam, which is unique to Tuft & Needle, provides great pressure relief and support and is comfortable for all sleep styles. | The hyper-elastic polymer gel Grid immediately flexes to support your position and springs back into place as you readjust or move. The Purple Grid™ is designed to dynamically flex under pressure so it cradles pressure points like your hips and shoulders while still supporting the rest of your body. A border using high density foam creates reinforced edge support. | The Douglas Summit mattress doesn’t just focus on comfort—it delivers on support too:
* **Full-Body Support System**: The high-density support foam layer ensures optimal spinal alignment, no matter your sleeping position.
* **Motion Isolation Technology**: Share your bed without compromise. The advanced design minimizes motion transfer, so you can sleep soundly even if your partner moves.
* **Reinforced Edge Support**: Sit or sleep comfortably on the edge without worrying about sagging.
Every detail of the Douglas Summit Mattress is engineered to provide the kind of support that promotes healthy sleep and reduces aches and pains. |
Comfort Specs | ||
The addition of heat-absorbing graphite is designed to conduct heat through the bed, away from you. Cooling gel beads help wick away heat. When you lay down, the cooling beads create additional support for optimal comfort. Long-lasting, open-cell foam creates a breathable foundation. | Air circulates more easily through the interior coils, which perfectly complement the Grid's built-in air channels and temperature-neutral gel material. | The Douglas Summit is crafted to suit a wide range of sleep preferences:
* **Perfect for All Sleepers**: Whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach, the mattress adapts to your unique needs.
* **Pressure Relief Technology**: Relieves tension on common pressure points like shoulders, hips, and lower back, ensuring you wake up pain-free. |
Support Specs | ||
T&N Adaptive® Foam was invented by T&N alongside top American chemists, this foam is durable, breathable, and the perfect balance of flexible support. Engineered based on customer feedback, it provides pressure relief where you need it most. | Responsive Support Coils Individually wrapped stainless steel coils pair with the Grid™ to offer dynamic pressure relief and support. Each coil is wrapped in responsibly sourced premium noise-reducing fabric. The Purple Grid™ is a flexible gel material that instantly adapts to your body and sleep position, providing soft support where you want it and firm support where you need it. This material is organized in a grid formation, which creates walls that can support or fold, depending on how much pressure it receives. It's durable enough to last decades so you won't develop a body impression. And it buckles under specific pressure, which provides excellent motion isolation so you don't feel someone else move in the bed. | The Douglas Summit mattress is built to last, offering a support system designed to cater to a variety of body types and sleeping styles:
* **High-Density Core Foam**: Delivers consistent support and prevents sinking, even for heavier sleepers.
* **Responsive Design**: Adjusts to your movements, so you never feel stuck or unsupported.
* **Durability Guaranteed**: Backed by a 20-year warranty, this mattress is a long-term investment in your sleep health. |
Fabric Specs | ||
The Tuft & Needle mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a soft and plush feel. Micro polyamide is breathable and durable. It keeps you cool and dries up to 8 times faster than cotton. The mattress cover is resistant to pilling and tearing. The Original mattress cover is not waterproof or removable/washable, so if there are any concerns, we'd recommend using a mattress protector. | StretchMax Cover Boasting even more stretch, the soft top material allows you to feel the full benefits of the Purple Grid™, while ultra-breathable woven side panels encourage airflow. | The mattress cover isn’t just an accessory—it’s a vital part of the experience:
* **Soft and Breathable Fabric**: Made from high-performance materials to ensure maximum airflow and comfort.
* **Eco-Conscious Design**: Produced with sustainability in mind, the cover supports your values while enhancing your sleep.
* **Easy to Maintain**: The machine-washable cover makes keeping your mattress clean and fresh effortless. |
