The Tulo company aims to give customers more choices to better meet their needs and preferences. It does this by selling mattresses both in-store and online and producing multiple firmness options to cater to different weight groups and sleep positions. The Tulo Mattress comes in three firmness options, which Tulo identifies as “Soft,” “Medium,” and “Firm.”
The Soft version rates around 4 on the 10-point firmness scale, which we consider a medium soft model. Tulo suggests that this mattress is good for side sleepers. Since the Medium rates around 6, we consider it a medium firm on our scale. Tulo recommends this option for stomach sleepers, people who change positions, and couples who favor different sleep positions. The Firm model rates at a 7, so it is truly firm. Tulo recommends this firmness setting for back sleepers.
Each firmness option uses a similar construction with four layers of foam constructed to achieve the desired feel while allowing cooling air circulation. They also share the same budget-friendly price point.
This review will examine all three firmness options of the Tulo Mattress, delve into their construction and materials, assess their performance, and detail their pricing. We’ll also summarize customer reviews and key company policies.

The Tulo Mattress comes in three firmness ratings: Soft (4), Medium (6), and Firm (7). These ratings correspond to medium soft, medium firm, and firm respectively.
Each Tulo Mattress is encased in a breathable, soft-to-the-touch knit cover. This cover is constructed of a blend of polyester and cotton.
The Tulo’s comfort system consists of two layers. The top layer is 2 inches of memory foam that shapes to the sleeper’s body to relieve pressure points. Memory foam often has a reputation for retaining heat, so the Tulo Mattress combats this tendency with an infusion of titanium to wick away heat and ventilation to allow more airflow. Next, a 1.5-inch layer of open-cell convoluted polyfoam provides extra air circulation to further cool the mattress surface.
A 2-inch transition layer of polyfoam reinforces the comfort system to prevent excessive compression and extend the mattress’s life expectancy. The 4.5-inch polyfoam core supports the layers above. The density of this polyfoam varies between models to contribute to the overall feel.
The Tulo is constructed of four layers of foam. Its comfort system consists of a layer of memory foam and a layer of polyfoam. The transition layer and support core also use polyfoam.

The Tulo Mattress is lower priced than the average all-foam model. This makes it a good value for customers on a budget. All of the firmness options come in at the same price point. Tulo also often has promotions that offer additional savings off the already-low list price.

Side Sleepers:
Thanks to its two-layer comfort system, the Tulo Mattress is particularly well-suited to side sleeping. The memory foam top layer cradles the sleeper’s curves, while the polyfoam layer adds cushioning. A transition layer designed to prevent excessive compression adds to the mattress’s support.
Since the Tulo comes in three firmness options, side sleepers may get the best sleep experience by selecting a firmness that corresponds to their weight. A side sleeper’s hips may not get enough support from a mattress that’s too soft, and this could put a strain on their spine. When a mattress is too firm, side sleepers may experience more pressure buildup near their hips and shoulders.
Side sleepers who weigh under 230 pounds may like the Soft or Medium version depending on how plush of a sleep surface they prefer. The Medium or Firm version of the mattress may give enough support for side sleepers who weigh over 230 pounds.
Back Sleepers:
Since back sleepers usually prefer a firmer model with more support, the Medium and the Firm versions of the Tulo Mattress may be strong options. They should be firm enough to prevent most back sleepers’ hips from sinking in too deeply and putting their spines out of alignment. Layers of memory foam and polyfoam in their comfort systems cradle the sleeper for extra comfort.
Back sleepers who are under 130 pounds may appreciate the even support of the Medium version of the Tulo. Those who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds may prefer the Firm version. Sleepers who weigh over 230 pounds may get enough support from the Medium or Firm version of the mattress, but both options may be softer than ideal.
If the mattress is too soft, back sleepers may experience sagging near their hips. Excessive sagging could put a strain on their spines. When a mattress is too firm, back sleepers pressure could build up near their hips.
Stomach Sleepers:
When lying on their stomachs, extra weight around the sleeper’s midsection may pull their hips too deeply into the mattress, which could put pressure on their lumbar region. A firm mattress often gives the support stomach sleepers need, but they also usually prefer some surface-level cushioning.
The Firm version of the Tulo Mattress will likely give the best support for most stomach sleepers. A memory foam comfort layer cushions and contours, while a polyfoam transition layer limits excessive compression. While some stomach sleepers may also like the Soft and Medium options, these versions may allow more sinkage around the midsection.
Stomach sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds will likely get the support they need from the Firm version of the mattress coupled with good cushioning. The hips of those who weigh over 230 pounds may dip into the mattress more, but this shouldn’t put a significant strain on their spines. Stomach sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds can enjoy even support from the Firm version of the mattress, but they may prefer more cushioning. The Medium version can give this extra cushioning, but it may not be as supportive of their hips.
