Construction Differences
You need to decide the exact type of feel you are looking for, because the foams used in these two mattresses have very different qualities. The Tuft and Needle mattress uses a specialty polyfoam in the comfort layer that has good pressure relief but is fairly bouncy/resilient. This makes it easier to move around in the mattress and you have a more sleeping “on” the mattress feel where you don’t sink into it too much. All Tempur-Pedic mattresses have slow-moving memory foam in the comfort layer. Especially with the softer models you sink into the mattress quite a bit as it envelops you. This is a much different feel from what the T&N provides. RELATED: Best Mattresses For Side SleepersFeel Differences
