Hybrid mattresses like the Tuft & Needle Mint Hybrid blend the best of both worlds: plush foam layers for contouring comfort and sturdy coils for bounce and breathability. At 12 inches tall with a medium-firm feel (around 6.5/10 firmness), it's designed for sleepers seeking responsive support without sinking too deep. In our lab and real-world tests over 30 nights, it earned a solid 7.4/10 overall score for its balanced performance, though it shines brightest for lighter to average-weight folks.
Whether you're upgrading your bedroom or outfitting a guest room, this review breaks down everything from pressure mapping data to temperature regulation. We'll also compare it head-to-head with top alternatives to help you decide.
The Mint Hybrid stands out with its thoughtful construction:
Priced accessibly (often under $1,500 for queen), it arrives compressed in a box for easy setup—no tools required. Unboxing revealed a faint natural odor that aired out in 48 hours, faster than many foam-heavy beds.

We put the Mint Hybrid through rigorous evaluations using pressure sensors, thermometers, and sleeper feedback from 20 testers (various weights and positions).
Heavier sleepers (over 250 lbs) noted fair support (6/10), with some bottoming out on stomach sleeping.
Excellent cooling (9/10) thanks to breathable foams and coils—surface temps stayed 3°F cooler than all-foam competitors after 8 hours. For intimacy, it scored good (7.5/10) with decent grip and bounce.
