If the Tulo's warmth or edges don't suit you:
Medium-firm memory foam with cooling tech (gel-infused). Excels in breathability (surface temp under 80°F) and zoned support for lumbar relief. Pros: Elite cooling, strong edges. Cons: Premium price. Ideal for hot sleepers.
Check current price: Casper Wave Hybrid Snow Queen
12-inch hybrid blending memory foam top with pocketed coils. Medium-firm feel with fiberglass-free certs. Pros: Bouncy repositioning, long trial. Cons: Slightly less contouring. Great Tulo upgrade for active sleepers.
Pair any mattress with these for peak comfort:
Yes, its top foam layer cradles shoulders and hips effectively, scoring high in pressure tests for those under 230 lbs. Heavier folks may prefer hybrids.
Average—bamboo helps mildly, but foam retains warmth. Add a cooling pad like the Oaskys Queen Mattress Pad.
Tulo's 100 nights is solid; opt for TQX's 365 for more confidence ([/p/tqx-queen-mattress12-inch-hybrid-mattress-in-a-box-memory-foam-and-pocket-springs-for-pressure-relief-motion-isolation-medium-firmcertipur-us-certifiedfiberglass-free-365-night-trial]).
