YAWNDER MATTRESS REVIEW
Our approach: This review examines the current Mint Hybrid II using Tuft & Needle’s published information. Our earlier hands-on test was of a different, older Tuft & Needle Hybrid; we have not applied those observations to this model. Yawnder may earn a commission through links on this page.
Our Verdict
The Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid Mattress II is a sensible candidate for shoppers seeking a medium-firm foam-and-coil mattress without choosing among multiple firmness levels. Its combination of adaptive foam, gel memory foam and individually wrapped coils is designed to balance cushioning and support. The 13.5-inch profile also gives it a more substantial build than a basic thin mattress.
Its biggest limitation is that the published description does not tell us how it performs for every sleeper. If you need a particularly plush shoulder cradle, a very firm surface, or proven motion isolation, try it during the eligible trial instead of relying on a label. This assessment is based on specifications, not a new hands-on test.

- People seeking a very firm mattress or the springy feel of latex.
- Shoppers who need active temperature control, a lower profile, or a longer trial.
Construction and Materials
Tuft & Needle describes the current Mint Hybrid II as a 13.5-inch mattress with a cooling cover, Adaptive foam, gel memory foam, support foam and individually wrapped coils. It lists up to 1,000 coils for king and California king; smaller sizes can differ. The company identifies a rayon-based fire barrier treated with ammonium phosphate. For exact layer thicknesses and current material details, check the manufacturer’s listing. For a closer look at this construction, read our hybrid mattress guide.
The coil unit is the defining difference from an all-foam mattress. Foam on top is intended to cushion the body while the springs provide the underlying support. The resulting feel depends on the full design and the sleeper; a coil count or a foam name alone does not establish durability.
What the layers do
The company lists a cooling cover over Adaptive foam, gel memory foam, support foam and individually wrapped coils. The Adaptive foam is marketed as responsive, while the memory foam provides a more conforming layer. Those descriptions help explain the design but cannot establish how much the finished mattress will cushion your shoulders or how quickly it recovers under your body. The illustration below is supplied by the manufacturer; Yawnder has not opened this generation for inspection.
Tuft & Needle identifies the mattress as fiberglass-free and says its foam is CertiPUR-US certified; the product page also lists GREENGUARD Gold certification. These labels have specific scopes: they do not mean the mattress is organic or establish its comfort, durability or temperature for a particular sleeper.
How Might It Suit Different Sleepers?
Side sleepers
Medium firm can work for side sleepers who like some resistance, but shoulder and hip pressure are individual. Lighter sleepers may find a medium-firm mattress firmer than expected. Lie on your side long enough to notice whether your shoulder feels comfortable; if pressure builds, consider a softer model.
Back sleepers
The medium-firm design is a reasonable starting point if you want cushioning without a distinctly plush surface. Check that your hips feel supported and that the lower back does not feel strained. A mattress label cannot determine spinal alignment for every body.
Stomach and combination sleepers
Stomach sleepers who prefer a firmer bed may find medium firm appealing, although those who sink deeply at the hips may need firmer support. Combination sleepers should try rolling between positions: foam can contour, while the coils add another component to the overall response. We have not measured this model’s ease of movement.
Cooling, Motion and Edge Support
Tuft & Needle markets cooling elements in the cover and foam. These are passive materials, not a powered cooling system. A cool initial touch does not guarantee a cooler night; sheets, a protector, room temperature and your own heat all matter.
The company says its individually wrapped coils help control motion. That is a design claim, not a measured Yawnder test result. If you share a bed, have one person lie still as the other rolls over and gets out. Test the edge while seated and lying close to it, especially if stability matters for getting up or using the full width.
Mint Hybrid II vs. Mint Mattress II and the Original Hybrid
Mint Hybrid II vs. Mint Mattress II: Tuft & Needle describes both current models as 13.5 inches tall and medium firm, but the Mint II is all foam and the Mint Hybrid II uses coils. Consider the foam model if you prefer an all-foam construction; consider the hybrid if you want a coil core. Do not assume the same firmness label makes their feel identical. See our Mint foam review, noting its discussion of model generations.
Mint Hybrid II vs. the older Tuft & Needle Hybrid: Ben’s original hands-on review documents an earlier mattress. Its impressions, photos and historical prices should not be presented as a test of the Mint Hybrid II. The current model deserves its own in-person assessment.
| Question | Mint Hybrid II | Mint Mattress II |
|---|---|---|
| Support core | Individually wrapped coils | Foam support core |
| Advertised height and feel | 13.5 inches; medium firm | 13.5 inches; medium firm |
| Best reason to compare | You specifically want a coil-supported design | You prefer an all-foam design |
| What to test | Pressure, movement and edge stability with both partners | Contour, ease of movement and edge stability |
These are design differences rather than tested rankings. A coil unit does not automatically make one bed firmer, cooler or less disruptive for a partner. Compare the same size, current checkout price and seller-specific return conditions; foam and hybrid versions may feel different despite matching firmness labels.
Price, Trial, Delivery and Warranty
Tuft & Needle listed the queen Mint Hybrid II at $1,199 when checked October 27, 2026. Prices and promotions change; compare the total for the size you need, including any delivery or setup services.
Tuft & Needle advertises a 100-night trial beginning on delivery and a 10-year limited warranty. Its direct return policy limits returns or exchanges to one per household in a 12-month period and describes a return portal with pickup or a shipping label depending on the item. The product page advertises free returns and shipping; it says shipping fees apply to Alaska and Hawaii. Amazon orders must be returned through Amazon, and other authorized resellers have their own process. Confirm eligibility, any fees, handling of shipping charges and warranty foundation requirements with the seller. Direct policy checked October 30, 2026.
Size, Delivery and Setup
Tuft & Needle lists Twin through California King sizes. Its dimensions table lists the Queen at 60 inches wide by 79.5 inches long and 13.5 inches high; check the exact size and shipping measurements before ordering. Measure your frame, doorway and full bed height, then check sheet-pocket depth with a protector in place.
The mattress arrives compressed in a box. The company recommends opening it promptly and says it should not stay boxed longer than three to four weeks; follow the instructions included with your purchase. It suggests allowing about two weeks of use to break in and air out. Arrange help moving the box and opening the mattress in the room where it will be used.
The product page lists compatibility with common platform, slatted and adjustable frames, among others. Confirm the manufacturer’s current support and warranty requirements for your exact foundation. Tuft & Needle says to spot clean with a water-based cleanser; check the attached care label rather than assuming the cover is machine washable.
How to Evaluate It at Home
Use your usual pillow, sheets and protector. Spend time in your normal sleeping positions across several nights: a side sleeper may notice shoulder pressure that is not obvious during a quick sit, while a back or stomach sleeper can pay attention to hip support. Give yourself room to adjust while keeping the return deadline in view.
For couples, take turns rolling over, sitting at the edge and getting out of bed while the other person lies still. These practical checks are more useful than assuming a coil design has a particular motion score. Note whether the surface feels comfortable after several hours; a cool-to-the-touch cover and a cool night are different things.
Durability and Ownership
The manufacturer publishes the materials and maximum coil count, but these do not tell us how the mattress will wear for a particular household. We have not tested this generation’s long-term durability. A compatible, adequately supported foundation and a protector can help keep it in good condition; neither guarantees a particular lifespan. Retain the receipt and law tag, and read the warranty’s defect definitions and exclusions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mint Hybrid II the same as the Mint II?
No. The Mint Hybrid II has a coil support unit; the Mint Mattress II is all foam. Both are described as medium firm, but their construction differs.
How tall is it?
Tuft & Needle’s current product and help pages list 13.5 inches. Some promotional or customer text refers to 14 inches; verify the specific item with the seller if tight clearance or sheet fit matters.
Is it good for couples?
Its individually wrapped coils and foam are designed with motion control in mind, but suitability depends on both sleepers. Use the trial to check movement, edge support and whether you agree on the firmness.
Is the cover actively cooled?
No powered cooling system is described. The cooling materials are passive; their effect depends on the sleeping environment.
Our Final Take
The Mint Hybrid II is a straightforward medium-firm hybrid to compare with all-foam and softer pillow-top alternatives. Its coils, foam and trial make it a useful candidate, but personal comfort and real-world cooling should be judged during the trial. For more general advice, see how to test a mattress in a store.
