Brooklyn Bedding and Tuft & Needle are two great companies that have leveraged the online-only business model to great success. While they have a similar business model, there are clear differences between the two mattresses.
The differences are stark enough that if you understand them, you should be able to make a clear choice as to which will be best for you. Hopefully this article will help you if you are making the decision of Brooklyn Bedding vs Tuft And Needle.
Key Similarities
- Similar business model (online-only)
- Both mattresses contain foam only
- Both include free shipping and arrive in a box
- Both companies are known for their customer service
- Both mattresses have the same thickness (10”)
- The return policies / trial period of both are really great for consumers
Key Differences
- Brooklyn Bedding is $150 more expensive (exclusive of any discounts from either company)
- T&N has one firmness option; Brooklyn Bedding has three
- The comfort layer of T&N is specialty polyfoam, while the Brooklyn Bedding has all-latex
- The Brooklyn Bedding is bouncier/more resilient
Construction/Feel
The Tuft And Needle consists of 3” of a 2.8 lb. density specialty polyfoam over 7” of 1.8 lb. density polyfoam (learn more in my full Tuft and Needle review).

The Brooklyn Bedding #bestmattressever has 2” of talalay latex, over 2” of dunlop latex, over 6” of high-density polyfoam.
Brooklyn Bedding Mattress
The support layer of each mattress is very similar. The real difference comes in the comfort layer. The two latex layers of Brooklyn Bedding make it very resilient and bouncy. It sleeps cool and you feel like you are sleeping “on” the mattress rather than “in” the mattress.
The polyfoam layer of T&N is less bouncy and I feel that you sink into it just a bit more. It sleeps fairly cool as well. I feel the firmness level of the medium Brooklyn Bedding is just a tad bit softer than the T&N (but that is subjective).

Price
For a Queen mattress, the #bestmattressever is $750. This is before a typically available 5% discount. A Tuft & Needle Queen mattress is $600 and there typically is no discount. Both have free shipping.
Given the price difference, the main question is whether the additional cost is worth the difference in quality in materials.
Pick Brooklyn Bedding If:
- You Have Other-Than-Average Sleep Preferences– Brooklyn Bedding offers three firmness options. This means that if you are extra heavy or extra light, or if you have unique sleeping circumstances, you may want the option of a soft or firm mattress.
- You Want Bounce– There is no question the Brooklyn Bedding mattress is the bouncier of the two. If you want that bouncy, latex feel, it’s definitely the mattress you should choose.
- You Have A Bit More In Your Budget– Subjectively, I feel the materials in the Brooklyn Bedding are a bit more high-quality, so if you have some room in your budget, then it may be the choice for you.
Pick T&N If:
- You Want To Save– The price difference is fairly significant for some people. If you don’t plan on having the mattress forever and want to save a bit of money in the meantime, then T&N may be the way to go.
- You Want A More Typical, Balanced Foam Feel– If you want a more balanced, typical foam feel where you sink in a little bit and don’t have too much bounce, then the Tuft and Needle might be better for you.
Overall
Personally I prefer Brooklyn Bedding, but I am a latex mattress fan, and would be willing to spend more for the mattress. I still think Tuft & Needle is a great mattress, especially considering the price.
