Historical launch: This article originally covered the 2017 launch of Tulo by Mattress Firm. The original soft, medium and firm lineup and its offers should not be assumed identical to today’s products.
Our take on Tulo
The original Tulo launch stood out for offering multiple firmnesses in a boxed mattress. Today, Mattress Firm lists Tulo models with different names and constructions, so select the exact mattress before comparing feel, price or policies. This launch article is not a hands-on test of every current Tulo model.
Consider Tulo if: you want to compare budget-oriented boxed mattresses in store or online. Check carefully: the exact construction, firmness, return terms and any delivery fees.
The original Tulo launch
In 2017, Mattress Firm introduced soft, medium and firm boxed mattresses at the same advertised price. The launch materials discussed a four-layer design and 120-night trial. Those details were historical marketing claims, not current guarantees.
The original Tulo promotional video describes the lineup at that time; it should not be assumed to describe later Green Tea or hybrid versions.
Our original mattress test
For firsthand observations on an original Tulo foam mattress, see Ben’s separate Tulo mattress review. The feel and construction of that sample should not be attributed to a different current model without testing it.

What is sold today?
Mattress Firm’s current Tulo collection includes models labeled Green Tea and Green Tea 2.0 Hybrid. Listings, sizes and stock can change, and a foam model will not necessarily feel like a hybrid with coils. Check the exact model and size rather than relying on the original launch description.
How to compare Tulo models
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Foam or hybrid | Coils and foam respond differently; construction varies by model. |
| Firmness | Side sleepers may prefer more cushioning; support preferences vary. |
| Height and dimensions | Confirm fit with your frame and sheets. |
| Trial and returns | Read the seller’s current policy, fees and conditions. |
Before ordering
Compare the delivered price, size, firmness, availability and warranty for the exact listing. A sale, free shipping promise or 120-night trial in the old press release is not evidence of today’s offer. If you can try a model locally, check the same version you intend to order.
Consider body size, sleep position and whether the seller allows a suitable home trial. No mattress firmness is ideal for everyone.
Frequently asked questions
Did Yawnder test every Tulo mattress?
No. Ben tested an original foam model, covered in the separate review linked above.
Are current Tulo mattresses the same as the 2017 lineup?
Do not assume so. Mattress Firm currently lists models with different names and constructions.
Is the 120-night trial still available?
That was part of the historical launch description. Check the current seller’s terms.
Can I choose firmness?
Available firmnesses depend on the current model and retailer listing.
