Makes the Mint mattress MUCH softer
I purchased the Tuft and Needle Mint mattress directly from the company. It is supposed to be their step-up, more medium mattress. It was hard. There's no two ways about it - so firm, I couldn't lie on my back (I cannot lie on a floor without lifting my knees due to lower back problems). Side sleeping was working, but I'm an all around sleeper, so it wasn't cutting it. So, I read reviews and decided to throw more money towards Tuft and Needle and buy the topper. The topper made a LOT of difference. I can lie on my back, side or stomach comfortably with the same support underneath the topper. It seems to cradle my body more, fill in the gaps, and add that "pillowtop" effect to the mattress. Both the mattress and the topper are well made. The topper has a very nice cover - which most toppers don't have. There are little silicone nubs on the bottom of it - but they aren't all that sticky. Don't expect to use this without putting a bed pad on top to keep it all from sliding around. I'd recommend strips of silicone that are 1" wide instead - if the manufacturer is listening. I always use a bed pad over a mattress and before the sheets, so it wasn't a problem for me - but it really isn't an "option" for this topper. You'll lose it - and it'll slide off. It's very lightweight, actually. I bought a cooling bedpad from overstock (my go-to place for nice bedding for a good deal and thorough reviews) since I felt like the mattress was a little warm. I figured the topper might be just as warm. So far, so good with the set and my Spa Luxe bedpad. My only complaint is that when I bought the mattress through T&N, it came within 3-4 days. I bought the topper through Amazon, because I wanted to use my Amazon card and get 5% back. It took 10, yes 10, days to get to me. It was being shipped from T&N, so no idea if the holdup was because I bought it through Amazon or if that's just how slow they are to send their toppers... but I was suffering on a hard mattress and 10 days was too long. Overall, I know without the topper, the mattress would be returned. I've slept with the topper for 3 nights and I'm seeing an improvement. I'll update the review if needed, but it has made the difference between returning the mattress now and seeing the 100 night trial to the end. If you have a firm mattress, I would recommend this!
