This our second purchase of this great mattress (the first one is on an island in Alaska and was enjoyed for 5 years....it was easier to just buy a new one for our move to Washington). We discovered T&N online and had many of the same issues with purchasing a new mattress that the founders had in their search. (SO glad they took matters into their own hands.) Living on a remote island in Alaska makes the search just that much more difficult. Thanks to T&N's outstanding guarantee, there was very little risk and we're so very glad we took a chance.
This mattress is the perfect blend of firm comfort for us. It is supportive, but has a luxurious padded covering for comfort. An added bonus is that movement from one of us does not disturb the other from sleep. (This will become more important to you as you age...trust me!)
My husband and I are in our mid-50s, just under 6' and 220 lbs. and 180 lbs. respectively who primarily sleep on our sides. We are moderately active and, thankfully, do not have any true health issues. With other mattresses over the years, however, we have struggled with restless sleep and sore backs. We wanted more from our money and were thrilled to find that the T&N Original was still available. (I am sure the other models are wonderful, but why mess with perfection?)
Thanks to T&N we still have money in our pocket, the reassurance of a solid warranty and solid sleep each night! We are beyond grateful!
It feels like I am sleeping atop a cloud, not embedded in a mushy swamp

I look forward to getting into bed every night. I was a firm mattress adherent for decades. Trying this mattress was a revolutionary change in my bedding preference.
Shipped very quickly, and the mattress was as described. It expanded right away once we unrolled it and cut the plastic. Did not notice any strong smells. Upgraded to a King from a queen size bed, and we're very happy with our T&N Mattress. This mattress is definitely on the firm side, but we like that. Very happy with our purchase.
The original is not the original. It is way too soft. Disappointed. The original from a year ago was perfect. This one sucks.

We bought a T&N early when the T&N showroom was on Grand Avenue in Phoenix. We knew someone that needed a mattress so decided to buy a new one for ourselves and give our old one away, which was still in great condition. The comfort of the new one seems better than the original.
I'm 5'5 and 135 lbs, mostly side sleeper, occasional stomach and back sleeper. This mattress is soooooo comfortable to sleep on. No more back or neck pain, and it's soft and molds to your body while still being firm enough to not just sink. I can sit on the edges of the bed fine too. There was no smell when i opened it, and im sensitive to smells. It also fully expanded in less than an hour. love this mattress!! My dog loves it too lol.
