Tulo Liv Mattress Review: What Owners and Used Buyers Should Know
The Liv is discontinued. This page preserves Yawnder’s original hands-on photo and three matching review videos while separating historical specifications from current buying advice.
Tulo Liv no longer appears in Mattress Firm’s current mattress inventory. Any price, trial or warranty quoted when it launched is historical and may not apply to clearance, used or third-party purchases. This legacy review predates Yawnder’s standardized lab program, so it does not receive a current score.
Quick verdict
When it was sold: the Liv was a simple, medium-feel, 9-inch all-foam mattress aimed at value shoppers.
Best historical fit: lighter side and back sleepers, guest rooms and couples prioritizing motion isolation over edge strength.
Skip a used one if: it has an unknown history, visible impressions, missing law labels or no written seller warranty. Foam condition matters more than the original retail price.
What the Tulo Liv was
The Liv was the lower-priced member of Tulo’s early all-foam lineup. It arrived compressed and expanded to roughly 9 inches. Its appeal was uncomplicated: a medium, contouring foam feel at a budget price, with less partner disturbance than a spring mattress.
| Historical specification | Tulo Liv | What it means now |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Three-layer all-foam mattress | There is no coil perimeter or spring core to reinforce the edge. |
| Height | Approximately 9 inches | Lower profile than many current mattresses; check sheet depth and foundation height. |
| Comfort layer | 1.5-inch LumaGel-infused foam | Marketed for pressure relief and temperature regulation; gel does not make foam actively cold. |
| Transition layer | Approximately 2.5 inches of support foam | Designed to keep the sleeper from dropping directly into the base layer. |
| Base | Approximately 5 inches of support foam | Condition and permanent impressions are critical on a used mattress. |
| Availability | Discontinued | No reliable current new-retail price, trial or universal seller policy. |

Inside the mattress
How it felt in the original review
Yawnder’s original hands-on impression was that the Liv felt more accommodating than its low profile suggested. The foam absorbed movement well, and the medium feel was easier to recommend to average-size side and back sleepers than a very firm budget bed. Those observations are historical and were not collected with today’s standardized measurement equipment.
The predictable tradeoffs are equally important. An all-foam perimeter does not provide the seated edge support of a reinforced hybrid. The comfort layer can also feel warmer and slower-moving than a spring-and-foam design, even with a gel infusion. Heavier stomach sleepers are the group most likely to need more support depth and a firmer core.
What it did well
- Low motion transfer for couples
- Pressure-relieving foam feel
- Simple construction with no complex components
- Strong original value when sold new
Main drawbacks
- Discontinued, so policies and replacement parts are uncertain
- Weak seated-edge potential compared with a reinforced hybrid
- Only one basic feel and a relatively shallow 9-inch profile
- Used foam can hide softening or body impressions
Trial, warranty and buying a discontinued Liv
Historical sources reported different trial lengths as Tulo and Mattress Firm policies changed. That is exactly why the old 100- or 120-night language should not be treated as a current promise. The original mattress was commonly advertised with a 10-year limited warranty, but warranty eligibility depends on the original purchaser, receipt, seller and written terms.
For a clearance mattress, ask whether it is new, a floor model, a return or “as is.” For a used mattress, assume there is no transferable warranty unless the seller proves otherwise. Inspect for impressions, edge collapse, odors, stains and a removed law label before discussing price.
Current alternatives we have reviewed
- Studio by Leesa for another straightforward budget foam mattress.
- Nectar Classic if you want a deeper memory-foam feel with current online policies.
- Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid if edge support, airflow and easier movement matter more than maximum motion isolation.
- Siena for a current low-cost foam option.
Final verdict
The Tulo Liv made sense as a low-cost new mattress in 2018. In 2026, it is primarily an ownership and used-market question. The original design was competent for the price, and Yawnder’s real photo and videos remain useful, but a current mattress with a verifiable trial and warranty is usually the safer purchase unless the Liv is genuinely unused and deeply discounted.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Tulo Liv still sold?
It no longer appears in Mattress Firm’s current Tulo mattress inventory. Treat listings as clearance, old stock or resale unless the seller documents otherwise.
How thick is the Tulo Liv?
The original Liv was approximately 9 inches tall.
Does the Tulo Liv sleep cool?
Its top foam used a gel infusion, but it remained an all-foam mattress. The original review found it more breathable than some low-cost foam competitors, not actively cooling.
Is a used Tulo Liv worth buying?
Only at a price that reflects the lack of a reliable trial and transferable warranty, and only after checking for impressions, odors, stains, edge breakdown and the law label.
Are the videos on this page duplicates?
No. They are three distinct Yawnder videos covering the main review, motion transfer and the internal layers.
Availability checked September 17, 2026. Historical construction details are retained for owners and resale shoppers; current seller terms always control.
