Just started sleeping on my mint mattress last night and it was so supportive and comfy I almost couldn’t fall asleep because it was just too cool. I’ve had very comfy multi layer memory foam toppers for for a few years and they were good and comfy but not supportive. I’d go to bed comfy but wake up sore and my back hurt. And I’d wake up a couple times each night. Last night I sleped soundly and woke up feeling great. It’s soft but not so smushy that it’s causes pain. There’s a really comfortable support that hold you up and cradles you. Hard to describe but so so worth every penny. Love my new Mint Tuft and Needle mattress and I highly recommend you try it. I know they say you don’t need it but I do think I want some type of cotton mattress pad just to keep a layer between the sheets and the really cool cover of the mattress. Not sure what will work best but I’m so happy w the mattress.
