Tulo Mattress Review

Soft: 4/5, Medium: 4/5, Firm: 3/5

The Tulo Mattress isolates a similar amount of motion to most other all-foam models on the market. All four layers of foam in the Tulo absorb motion rather than transferring it across the rest of the layer. This can limit the vibrations a sleeper feels when their partner moves during the night. For people who tend to wake up easily when their partner moves, the Tulo’s strong motion isolation could contribute to a more restful night’s sleep.

The combination of memory foam and polyfoam used in the Tulo’s comfort system cushions the sleeper’s body while spreading out their weight more evenly to reduce pressure buildup. This gives the Tulo more pressure relief than many all-foam models.

However, the overall level of pressure relief a sleeper experiences will depend on their weight, sleep position, and which firmness option they select. Individuals who weigh over 230 pounds may be more likely to experience sharp pressure points when sleeping on the Soft version of the mattress since the foam could overcompress. Sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds may experience more pressure buildup around their hips and shoulders when sleeping on the Firm version of the mattress since they won’t be able to sink in as deeply.

While many all-foam mattresses tend to trap heat, the Tulo has special features and materials that help it sleep cooler than some models.

The Tulo’s cover uses a breathable cotton and polyester blend to let cool air in and warm air out. Its memory foam comfort layer is ventilated for extra air circulation, while titanium particles help pull heat away from the sleeper’s body. The second comfort layer uses open-cell polyfoam in a peak and valley design. Its open-cell structure and convoluted texture allow more airflow so that heat can dissipate away from the sleep surface.

Like most other all-foam models, the Tulo’s edges are not reinforced. The foam compresses when an individual sits or sleeps near the perimeter of the bed. Without reinforcement, this compression could make the edge of the mattress feel unstable. Sleepers may gravitate towards the center of the bed to avoid the sensation that they could accidentally roll off the edge. It may also be more difficult to sit comfortably near the perimeter, which may make getting into or out of bed more challenging.

The edge of the Firm version of the Tulo may feel somewhat more supportive since the foams don’t compress as much as the softer versions. Because of this, people who like to use the full surface of the mattress may prefer the Firm version.

Due to their softer feels, the Soft and Medium version of the Tulo may be more difficult to move on than the Firm version. Sleepers can sink in more deeply, which may make it harder to change positions.

The memory foam comfort layer contours closely to the sleeper’s body. Since memory foam tends to be slow to regain its shape, sleepers may feel they need to escape their own body impression in order to move on the mattress. Sleepers might feel like they are sleeping “in” the Soft and Medium versions of the Tulo Mattress, but they may feel more like they are sleeping “on” the Firm version.

This ease of movement is similar to most close-conforming all-foam models.

Couples often prefer a springy surface for sex. Since all-foam mattresses like the Tulo are usually less responsive than innerspring, latex, and hybrid models, they tend to rate lower in this performance category.

The Soft and Medium versions of the Tulo do not have much bounce and sleepers sink in enough that it may be more difficult to move across the surface. However, this close conforming can lend to traction. The Firm version of the Tulo still provides traction, but it doesn’t have as much give as the softer models, which may make it easier to move on.

Like similarly constructed models, the Tulo is likely to release some off-gassing odors. Synthetic foams usually have leftover smells from the manufacturing process that are trapped when the mattress is compressed for shipment. As the mattress decompresses in your home, these odors are released into the air. Most experts say these smells are harmless for most people.

Some buyers like to leave their new mattress to air out before introducing it into their bedroom. This can be done by putting the mattress in a well-ventilated room until the smells dissipate, which usually takes at least a few hours. Most mattresses fully air out within a couple of days.
