Tuft & Needle Mattress II Review 2026: New Lineup, Prices, and Differences

SleepRanked EditorialResearch-based

Tuft & Needle now sells Essential Hybrid, four Mattress II profiles, and two Mint Luxe Hybrid feels beside older Legacy and 2024 models. The full product name matters because height, firmness, layers, and price can differ even when a listing still says Original or Mint.

What changed from the previous generation?

Original Mattress II

T&N says the new Original is slightly firmer and two inches taller. The 12-inch build now lists Adaptive foam, Support Foam, and Base Foam under the Cooling Cover.

Original Hybrid Mattress II

The refresh adds half an inch, updates edge support, and uses Adaptive foam and Support Foam above individually wrapped coils.

Mint Mattress II

Mint is now 13.5 inches and medium firm. It adds Gel Memory Foam for contouring plus Support Foam for stability.

Mint Hybrid Mattress II

The current Mint Hybrid is medium firm, 13.5 inches tall, and uses individually wrapped coils. The prior micro-coil and plush descriptions do not apply to this Mattress II record.

Original II vs Mint II

Original II costs $300 less in Queen and has the firmer feel. T&N aims it at back and stomach sleepers. Mint II adds 1.5 inches of height and a Gel Memory Foam layer, which makes it the more contouring option. Both use a Cooling Cover and Adaptive foam with graphite and cooling gel.

Shoppers choosing between them should start with feel rather than cooling marketing: Firm for more structured support, or Medium Firm with added contouring. See the full Legacy Edition vs Original II comparison when an older listing is also under consideration.

Original Hybrid II vs Mint Hybrid II

Original Hybrid II is the lower-priced and slightly thinner option at $849 and 12.5 inches. Mint Hybrid II costs $1,199, is one inch taller, and adds Gel Memory Foam. Both use individually wrapped coils for motion control, but T&N labels Original Hybrid II Medium and Mint Hybrid II Medium Firm.

Essential Hybrid vs Mint Luxe Hybrid

Essential Hybrid is the entry point at $599 for Queen. Its 10-inch medium-firm build uses Adaptive foam directly over individually wrapped coils. Mint Luxe Hybrid adds Flex foam, Support Foam, High Density Gel Memory Foam, and an Extra Cooling Cover. The 14.5-inch Medium costs $1,649 for Queen; the 15-inch Plush costs $2,249 and doubles the High Density Gel Memory Foam used in the Medium profile.

Cooling claims for hot sleepers

T&N says its open-cell Adaptive foam provides more airflow than memory foam and that its Cooling Cover and Adaptive foam combination keeps several current models up to five degrees cooler than a mattress using standard memory foam of similar density. For Mint Luxe, T&N says Flex foam and the Extra Cooling Cover provide up to 10 degrees of cooling by the same kind of comparison. These are brand-reported claims and do not establish how cool any individual sleeper will feel.

The hybrid models add open space around the coil system, while the Mint models add Gel Memory Foam for contouring. A shopper who sleeps very hot should compare these passive features with active and specialty cooling options in our sleeping hot on memory foam guide.

Trial and warranty depend on where you buy

The direct product pages list a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year limited warranty. T&N's help center says Amazon mattress orders also receive a 100-night trial but must be returned through Amazon. Purchases from other third parties follow that retailer's return instructions. Confirm the seller and its current terms before checkout.

How to avoid buying the wrong generation

  1. Match the full title. Current products include “Mattress II”; older listings may say 2024 or Legacy Edition.
  2. Check height and feel. Essential and Legacy are 10 inches; Original II is 12; Mint II and Mint Hybrid II are 13.5; Mint Luxe Medium is 14.5; and Mint Luxe Plush is 15 inches.
  3. Check the named layers. Current Mint II products include Gel Memory Foam; current hybrids list individually wrapped coils and do not list the prior micro-coil build.
  4. Use a seller link that names the same model, generation, and Mint Luxe feel. SleepRanked sends these buttons to exact manufacturer pages while refreshed marketplace matches are being verified.
