T&N Original

GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on T&N Original

Founder of GoodBed
Michael Magnuson

Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert

Bottom Line - Is the T&N Original the right mattress for you?
Bottom line best icon BEST if you
  • Want a medium-firm mattress (i.e., just a little firmer than average)
  • Are either a stomach or back sleeper
  • Prefer no 'memory feel' in your mattress
  • Enjoy sleeping more 'on' your mattress than 'in' it
  • Would like a mattress that performs very well when used with an adjustable base
Bottom line not ideal icon NOT IDEAL if you
  • Are a side sleeper (though this mattress can be good for side sleepers who prioritize firm support over extra pressure relief)
  • Like a fair bit of bounce in your mattress
  • Frequently sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support isn't the best, but is still pretty good)
  • Have a strong tendency to sleep hot (temperature regulation is pretty good, but not the best)
Sounds good so far? Get the full details.

Frequently Asked Questions
T&N Original

  • In our evaluation of the T&N Original mattress, we found it to be a Medium-Firm (4) on the GoodBed rating scale (1= firmest, 9 = softest).
  • Mattress matching is highly personal. This is why GoodBed refuses to publish bogus "best mattress" lists and instead created an advanced mattress matching tool called the GoodBed Quiz. This quiz can assess your requirements in just a few minutes, and then calculate your personal Match Score for the T&N Original mattress, along with any of the other 800+ mattresses that we've evaluated.

    To see your Match Score for the T&N Original, simply use this link to take the GoodBed Quiz. Your Match Score for this mattress will be shown at the top of your quiz results, and will include a detailed explanation of how it matches up with your personal mattress requirements. Each Match Score is based on over 50 different Mattress DNA™ attributes that we measure through our proprietary mattress testing framework.

  • Yes, the T&N Original mattress is adjustable base compatible. This means it is designed to be used on an adjustable base without incurring damage or voiding the warranty. In our review of this mattress, we tested it on an adjustable base to look for any adverse effects as the head and foot are elevated, and to see how well it conforms to the contours of the base both with and without the weight of a sleeper. Overall, we found the T&N Original to have very good adjustable base compatibility.
    • Length: 10-year warranty.
    • Indentation coverage: 0.75" and deeper.
    • Proration: 10 years of full ("non-prorated") replacement coverage.
