I purchased this after purchasing the "legacy" original in 2017. There is a big difference in quality. I asked the company and was told that they are both "essentially the same" but that is untrue. I have both mattresses in my home. The 2017 version is 9.5" thick, this one is 8.5". The newer version is more floppy, less firm, less edge support. You slide off the bed when you sit anywhere close the edge. I have already started the return process. It is such a disappointment.
I gave 2 stars because the customer service folks are very nice.

Hi Hana, thank you for reaching out and providing your feedback. We're so sorry to hear your T&N Original Mattress is not as comfortable or supportive as your previous iteration. We did make a slight change when we redesigned our mattress, but it sounds as if your particular mattress may not have expanded fully. It should measure around 9.5 inches once fully expanded. We do back all of our mattresses with a 10-year limited warranty, and our team would be happy to take a look at what's going on. Feel free to reach out to 877-842-2586 or support@tuftandneedle.com if you haven't already, and the team can guide you from there!
We are big fans of Tuft and Needle. This is our second original mattress sizing up from the queen. It is firm enough for both me and my partner. I am a side/back sleeper, and I don't wake up with achy joints. My partner has back issues and finds this mattress to keep him feeling good. We've recommended it to friends!
The mattress is very comfortable and really does help me wake up with much less body aches. The cover was easy to remove and wash and allow the mattress to air out. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a new mattress.
Not enough options, I bought the softest mattress you have, which is a medium, and it's not soft enough. I had to use a foam topper.

Hi there! We're so sorry to hear your T&N Original Mattress was not as soft as you'd hoped. We apologize for any confusion, seeing as the Original Mattress is one of the firmest models we offer whereas the Mint Or Hybrid Mattresses are softer and may be more comfortable. That said, it sounds like you were able to secure a topper and we hope you sleep well for years to come! Of course, we don't want you to feel stuck with something you don't love, so feel free to reach out to 877-842-2586 or support@tuftandneedle.com if you have any questions, and the team can guide you from there! Thanks again for sharing your experience, let us know if we can assist moving forward!
