Tulo’s mattresses don’t come with a ton of bells and whistles, but they do offer the benefits of memory foam without breaking the bank.

Tulo has several product lines, and in this review, we focus on the Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress. It comes in 6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch models, each with a different firmness level. Every model has a cover made of bamboo-derived fabric and an interior built with two layers of foam, including a top layer of green tea-infused memory foam.

The expert team in our Test Lab analyzed these Tulo Mattresses to identify their benefits and downsides. Below, we’ll go into detail about the performance, pricing, construction, and sizing of the Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress.

Testing Team Takeaways

To test the Tulo Mattress, we had three people on our testing team take the bed home with them and test it for one week. Here are their initial observations.

“For a side sleeper like me, the Tulo Mattress nicely cushions my hips and shoulders, making it comfortable for me to settle into bed.”

Talks in sleep (like, a lot)

“While I agree with Logan about cushioning for side sleepers, some of the Tulo models felt too plush, almost like they were giving out beneath me.”

“A benefit of the Tulo Mattress is that it limits vibrations spreading, so I wasn’t bothered by movement on the other side of the bed. But the contouring foam also made it harder for me to adjust my sleeping position.”

Side Sleepers

In our testing, the 10- and 12-inch models of the Tulo Mattress performed well for side sleepers up to 230 pounds, particularly those under 130 pounds. With their medium (5) and medium soft (4) firmness levels, the memory foam layer conforms to the body, accommodating heavier areas like the hips and shoulders without allowing too much sinking into the mattress.

Side sleepers over 130 pounds were more likely to say that these two models felt a bit on the plush side, although those between 130 and 230 still said they got quality pressure relief. However, the 6-inch and 8-inch models are generally too firm and have a comfort layer that is too thin to provide optimal support to side sleepers.

Back Sleepers

We found that most back sleepers under 230 pounds in our testing preferred the feel of the 8-inch Tulo Mattress. With a medium firm (6) feel, that model kept their body in a more neutral position, allowing the memory foam to comfortably cushion the curve of the lower back.

Back sleepers who weigh over 230 pounds found the 8-inch model to be too soft. They also were underwhelmed by the less robust 6-inch model and the plusher 10- and 12-inch models.

Stomach Sleepers

The Tulo Mattress got mostly average or below-average ratings from stomach sleepers. The highest marks came from stomach sleepers under 130 pounds who got decent support from the 6- and 8-inch models. While the 6-inch model is firm (7), its thinner layers may be more inclined to wear out or give out beneath stomach sleepers who weigh over 130 pounds.

And because they allow lots of sinkage, all-foam mattresses like the Tulo don’t typically provide great support to stomach sleepers. Excess sinkage around the midsection can pull the body into a U-shape, putting pressure on the muscles of the lower back.

Performance Ratings

In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.

Motion Isolation

7.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 6″: 6 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 8″: 7.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 10″: 8 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 12″: 8 / 10

“I really liked how well the Tulo Mattress absorbed motion. There were barely any vibrations when someone was moving around on the other side of the bed.” – Logan

Like most memory foam mattresses, the Tulo offers above-average motion isolation, as the memory foam conforms to the body and helps absorb vibrations. We found that the 10- and 12-inch models had the best motion isolation, as they have thicker and softer memory foam layers and are softer, allowing them to better contain vibrations. That makes these a good choice for couples who want to limit sleep disruptions.

 

Pressure Relief

7 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 6″: 5.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 8″: 7 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 10″: 7.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 12″: 7.5 / 10

“You can feel the foam hug your body, which, at least for me, meant less pressure buildup around my hips and shoulders.” – Colin

The 10- and 12-inch Tulo models have a thick layer of soft, conforming memory foam that provides great pressure relief to most sleepers. The foam contours to the body in high-pressure spots, helping sleepers maintain good posture through the night.

The 8-inch mattress also works well to relieve pressure, though it doesn’t contour as much as the taller versions. Shoppers should note that the 6-inch mattress isn’t as effective at pressure relief because of its firmer surface and thinner memory foam layer.

Temperature Control

6 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 6″: 7 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 8″: 8 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 10″: 5.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 12″: 5 / 10

“Like a lot of memory foam mattresses, the Tulo can build up some serious warmth. The more it hugs your body, the more you start to feel heat trapped around you.” – Mary

Our testing confirmed what we expected: The Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress has a tendency to sleep hot. This is a common issue with memory foam mattresses, though, as the material retains heat and reduces airflow over the skin. While the bamboo-based cover is breathable, it’s not enough to counterbalance the other heat retention. As a result, we found that these mattresses are unlikely to be a good choice for hot sleepers.

Edge Support

6.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 6″: 7 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 8″: 6.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 10″: 6 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 12″: 5.5 / 10

“The softness of the memory foam was really apparent around the edge of the mattress. I didn’t feel like I was going to fall out of bed, but I also didn’t feel super stable, either.” – Logan

Among the Tulo Mattress models, only the 6-inch got average scores for edge support during our testing. Problems with edge support are typical in memory foam mattresses, as the material is slow to rebound to its normal shape, especially near the perimeter. Our team found the edge support was weakest on the taller models, because they’re made with softer foams.

Ease of Movement

6 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 6″: 6.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 8″: 6 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 10″: 5.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 12″: 5 / 10

“With the conforming memory foam, there were times when I felt kind of stuck. In the end, I was able to adjust my position, but there was some noticeable resistance.” – Colin

While memory foam relieves pressure well, it can also restrict movement, especially when the foam is thicker and softer, like it is in the 10- and 12-inch Tulo mattress models. For some sleepers, ease of movement is a low priority. However, it can be important for combination sleepers and anyone else who just likes the feeling of an unrestricted ability to move around in bed.

Off-Gassing

6 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 6″: 6.5 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 8″: 6 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 10″: 6 / 10

Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress – 12″: 5.5 / 10

“The off-gassing from this mattress was about what I expected. It gave off an odor for a few days, and then the smell mostly faded away.” – Mary

Off-gassing is a chemical-like smell that’s released when you remove a new mattress from its packaging for the first time. It isn’t harmful, though, and the smell dissipates relatively quickly. However, some sleepers may be sensitive to the smell.

Off-gassing is almost always worse with all-foam mattresses, so the Tulo’s ratings in this category are on-par given its materials. The smell may linger for longer with the taller models that have more total foam.

 

Tulo Mattress Review Breakdown

The Tulo Memory Foam Bamboo Mattress is made with two layers of foam and comes in four height options, each of which has a different firmness level. The 6-inch model is firm (7), the 8-inch is medium firm (6), the 10-inch is medium (5), and the 12-inch is medium soft (4).

The top layer of the mattress is made with memory foam infused with green tea. The foam cradles the body to relieve pressure in key areas and enhances motion isolation, while the green tea is intended to give the mattress a fresher feel and smell.

The bottom layer is made of a high-density polyfoam that serves as the base for the memory foam layer above it. The thickness of the two layers varies based on the height option that you choose. All of the mattress models have a stretch-knit cover made with breathable bamboo-derived fabric.
