I wanted to work through Tulo mattress reviews because this brand lives in that tricky budget zone. Many readers see it stacked in Mattress Firm stores and online and wonder whether the price cut means real compromise or just simpler design. I kept running into the same question from different people with different bodies.
Our testing group helps with that kind of puzzle. I am Chris Miller, a late-thirties combination sleeper with a desk-tired lower back. Around me, Marcus, Carlos, Mia, Jenna, and Jamal bring very different frames, sleep styles, and tolerances for heat, firmness, and bounce. When we drop a full Tulo lineup into our test studio, the room fills with arguments very fast.
For this brand pass, we focused on five current Tulo models that show up most in stores and online: the Tulo 10" Medium Cooling Hybrid, Tulo Green Tea Hybrid 10" Medium, Tulo Green Tea 8" Medium, Tulo Green Tea 6" Firm, and Tulo Lavender Memory Foam 8". We pushed each through several nights of real sleep and a structured test script, then argued our way to scores.

Testing Team Takeaways
For Tulo, I leaned hardest on Marcus, Mia, and Jenna, because their profiles stress very different corners of the lineup.
From my perspective as a 185-pound combination sleeper, Tulo felt surprisingly structured for a value family. On the Cooling Hybrid, my hips settled but did not sink far, even after a late-night laptop session where I half-reclined on pillows. On the Green Tea Hybrid, I caught more contour around my shoulders yet kept a straight line through my mid-back. The 8-inch Green Tea and Lavender foam models felt serviceable for my frame, but I started to feel closer to the core whenever I rolled onto my stomach.
Marcus approached the stack like a heat-sensitive weight test. He dropped onto the Cooling Hybrid first and said, “This finally feels like air wants to get through the foam.” Under his 230-pound frame, the coil support system held his hips on a flat plane while the top layers stayed responsive rather than swampy. On the Green Tea 6" Firm, he felt perched, almost like a camping pad, and described it as “fine for kids, not for my spine.” Motion from his exits off the hybrid disturbed the rest of us very little, which mattered for his constant early alarms.
Mia found the biggest contrasts. Her 125-pound side-sleeping frame rode high on the Cooling Hybrid and the 6-inch Firm, even in the shoulder zone. She kept saying, “My shoulder wants a softer pocket than this gives me.” Once she moved onto the Green Tea Hybrid and then the Lavender 8", her whole posture changed. On those two, her shoulder finally slipped into a foam cradle, and her comments shifted toward “pressure finally off my outer hip” during longer side sessions.
Jenna always chases couple performance. She ran repeated entry and exit drills on each mattress while I stayed in a loose back-sleep position. On the foam models, especially the Lavender 8", she barely woke me even when she climbed in fast. Her exact phrase was, “This kind of foam keeps your partner in their own lane.” On the hybrids, she traded a bit more bounce for easier repositioning and liked that mix on the Green Tea Hybrid slightly more than on the firmer Cooling Hybrid.

What We Tested and How We Tested It
For this Tulo mattress reviews run, we worked with a fixed script that we use on many budget and midrange beds. Each mattress spent at least two weeks in rotation between our homes and the studio. I slept on every model as a combination sleeper, then handed each setup to one or two teammates for focused nights.
Support and spinal alignment came first. We used repeated “alignment passes” where one tester lay in their usual position while another checked posture from the side. For me and Carlos, that meant back-sleep runs with cameras and visual guides to track hip and shoulder angles across different Tulo models.
Pressure relief came next under Mia’s direction. She spent long side-sleep blocks on each mattress, then walked us through specific hotspots at shoulders and hips. We used basic pressure-mapping equipment for patterns, but her verbal reporting pushed our scoring more than the heatmaps.
To look at motion isolation and couple behavior, Jenna and Marcus repeated entry, exit, and position-change runs while another tester stayed as still as possible. Those drills helped show how foam versus hybrid designs handled real apartment-level partner movement rather than perfect lab motions.
Cooling checks leaned on Marcus and Jamal. They slept under heavier comforters on scheduled nights, then rated perceived heat build-up. We tracked surface temperatures with handheld sensors during some sessions, but human discomfort during wake-ups mattered more.
Finally, we combined those impressions with construction details from spec sheets and retailer listings, including height, materials, and stated support goals. Those criteria fed directly into the metric scores you will see under each mattress.
Tulo Mattress Reviews: Our Testing Experience
Tulo 10" Medium Cooling Hybrid Mattress
Our Testing Experience
I started with the Tulo 10" Medium Cooling Hybrid on an adjustable base in our studio. The first back-sleep session gave me a firm, steady landing under my hips. My lumbar curve stayed neutral even when I propped up slightly to read, which matters for my desk-tired lower back. The quilt and foam layers felt thin enough to keep me close to the coil support without any board-like harshness.
During night two, Marcus climbed on beside me with a heavier blanket. He lasted about twenty minutes before saying, “This kind of foam finally lets heat escape.” Under his 230-pound frame, the pocketed coils pushed back decisively. His hips did not drift downward across the night. When he rolled to his stomach near dawn, we both noticed that his spine stayed closer to straight than on many budget hybrids we have tested.
I paid attention to responsiveness during my normal combination tossing. Each time I rolled from side to back, the surface popped back under my shoulders instead of holding a deep imprint. That quick response helped me change positions without thinking about it. Mia still felt the top slightly firm in side-sleep, though. She complained that her shoulder did not sink as easily as she wanted and described the feel as “support first, comfort second” for her lighter body.
For couple use, Jenna focused on how much my movements traveled. She did her silent-entry test, sliding under the covers after I pretended to sleep. I felt a small ripple through the coils but stayed relaxed. Her verdict sounded blunt: “This feels couple-friendly enough if nobody weighs like Marcus.” When Marcus repeated the same move, the transfer increased a bit, yet still stayed below the level that wakes me on many cheaper hybrids.
In my view, this mattress fits hot sleepers, average-to-heavier combination sleepers, and couples who want bounce with control. Petite strict side sleepers may prefer deeper cushioning from another Tulo model.

Tulo Green Tea Hybrid 10" Medium Mattress
Our Testing Experience
The Tulo Green Tea Hybrid 10" Medium runs slightly softer on top than the Cooling Hybrid. I felt that change right away during my first back-to-side roll. My shoulder sank a bit deeper without dragging my hips down. From the perspective of a combination sleeper, that kind of shift matters more than any catalog firmness label.
Mia reacted quickly to this model. On her first full side-sleep night, she stayed quiet for a long stretch. In the morning, she said, “This finally gives me a soft pocket without twisting my neck.” Her shoulder imprint looked deeper on our pressure-map replay, yet her spine stayed visually straight. She still wanted slightly thicker foam, but her tone carried less frustration.
Marcus used this mattress on a workweek where his back usually complains. His comment after three nights felt short and sharp: “Not my coldest bed, but my back likes this zoning.” The coil pushback did not feel as rigid as the Cooling Hybrid but still resisted his hips drifting. Heat build-up stayed controlled, though not as aggressively cool as the more purpose-built hybrid.
Jenna paid attention to couple performance again. Her entry tests produced smaller ripples than before. The slightly plusher foam on top absorbed her movement a bit better while the coils carried the rest. During my fake early exit, she reported feeling motion yet staying comfortable, which matches a balanced hybrid profile.
Under many circumstances, this model fits side-leaning combo sleepers and average-weight couples who want hybrid bounce with more pressure relief than the firmer Tulo.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Strong blend of contour and support | Not as cool as the Cooling Hybrid |
| Pleasant pressure relief for side-leaning sleepers | Edge support still mid-range for heavy frames |
| Good motion isolation for a coil mattress | May feel too soft for strict stomach sleepers |
| Attractive value for a hybrid design | Single medium feel limits body-type targeting |

Tulo Green Tea 8" Medium Mattress
Our Testing Experience
Moving to the Tulo Green Tea 8" Medium, my expectations dropped slightly because of the thinner profile. The first back-sleep stretch confirmed the difference. My hips sat closer to the core, and the foam felt simpler, yet still workable for my 185-pound frame during a short workweek.
Mia switched onto this mattress during a run of milder nights. She lay on her side, shifted once, then said, “This kind of medium feel works for my lighter weight better than I expected.” Her shoulder did not sink as deeply as on the Green Tea Hybrid, yet she avoided sharp pressure spikes for the first few hours. On longer sessions, she started to feel the core more clearly and wanted thicker foam.
I found this model strangely suited for shorter or lighter sleepers. My teen test nights with a guest family backed that up. The lighter teenager in the group reported “soft enough without feeling stuck” and never once mentioned bottoming out. In contrast, Marcus barely tolerated the mattress. He needed multiple pillows under his knees and said it felt like “too much core, not enough cushion” under his frame.
From the perspective of a budget-mattress reviewer, this mattress screams guest room, teen room, or light-adult studio more than main bed for heavy bodies.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Very affordable for a branded mattress | Limited support for heavy sleepers |
| Compact 8" profile works in bunks or low frames | Thinner comfort layers reduce pressure relief over long nights |
| Green tea foam gives mild freshness marketing angle | Edge compression noticeable for adults |
| Good motion isolation for couples at lighter weights | Can feel basic compared with hybrids |

Tulo Green Tea 6" Firm Mattress
Our Testing Experience
The Tulo Green Tea 6" Firm felt almost like a throwback to older firm foam pads. When I lay on my back, I sensed minimal sink and immediate contact with the dense core. My lower back stayed lifted, yet the feel bordered on hard for extended sessions.
Mia lasted about ten minutes on her side before rolling off with a clear verdict. Her exact phrase sounded harsh: “This kind of surface belongs in a college dorm, not under my shoulder.” She felt pressure building almost immediately at the shoulder tip and outer hip area. For her frame, the thin comfort layer simply did not provide enough depth.
In contrast, younger and lighter testers from visiting families reacted better. A preteen sleeper we borrowed for a weekend reported that the mattress felt “springy but not squishy,” which lined up with our own kneeling and sitting tests. Kids simply did not compress through the top layer as deeply, so the firmness felt supportive rather than punishing.
Marcus tried one night on this mattress for science and woke up grumpy. His spine technically stayed level in our checks, yet he described a “board under my shoulder blades” feeling. For heavier adults, this mattress belongs more in very short-term setups or as a base paired with a thick topper.
In my view, this model fits kids, occasional adult guests, or very firm feel fans who prefer minimal sink and thinner builds.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Thin, firm profile fits bunks and trundles | Too firm for most side sleepers |
| Very low price for a branded mattress | Minimal pressure relief at shoulders and hips |
| Strong motion isolation for kids’ rooms | Adults may feel the core immediately |
| Light, easy to move or relocate | Short comfort stack limits long-term comfort |

Tulo Lavender Memory Foam 8" Mattress
Our Testing Experience
The Tulo Lavender Memory Foam 8" changed the studio atmosphere the moment we opened the plastic. A noticeable lavender scent spread in minutes. For some testers, that smelled calming. For others, it felt distracting until the room aired out.
I ran my usual back-sleep night first. The top memory foam layer hugged my shoulders and lower back more than the Green Tea 8" version. My hips rested slightly lower yet stayed aligned. The lavender smell faded somewhat after a few hours, though I still noticed it when turning my head into the pillow.
Mia liked this mattress much more than the 6-inch and slightly more than the Green Tea 8". She curled into her usual side-sleep position and said softly, “This kind of foam finally lets my shoulder disappear.” After two nights, she still mentioned warmth under the quilt but reported much less joint fatigue.
Jenna cared less about scent and more about motion behavior. The slow-responding memory foam swallowed her entry waves almost completely. She described it as, “I move, but he stays in his own little crater.” That kind of isolation matters in small apartments where every shuffle usually wakes someone.
Marcus treated this model as a short-term experiment only. He slept slightly hotter than on the hybrids and felt too deep in the foam for his taste. The mattress handled his weight structurally but did not match his preference for pushback and airflow.
From the perspective of our whole team, this mattress targets light-to-average side sleepers and couples wanting strong motion isolation plus sensory lavender cues.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Lavender scent provides a relaxing sensory hook | Scent may bother scent-sensitive users early on |
| Gentle memory foam hug for shoulders and hips | Slight warmth for known hot sleepers |
| Excellent motion isolation for couples | 8" profile limits deep support for heavy bodies |
| Good value for a scented memory foam design | Slow response can feel “stuck” to some sleepers |
Details
- Type: Lavender infused memory foam mattress
- Height: 8 inches
- Firmness feel: Medium, around 5–6 out of 10
- Construction: Top lavender infused memory foam layer over support foam core
- Scent feature: Lavender aroma aimed at relaxation during early months
- Cooling: Slightly warm for hot sleepers, average for others
- Pressure relief: Stronger hug than Green Tea 8" for hips and shoulders
- Support: Adequate for light and average bodies; heavier sleepers may feel too deep
- Responsiveness: Slow, classic memory feel; movement leaves temporary impressions
- Motion isolation: Very strong; partner movement barely registered in our couple tests
- Edge support: Similar to other 8-inch foam Tulo; compresses under adult sitting
- Durability outlook: Fair-good for moderate use; foam thickness suits lighter frames best
- Best sleepers: Light or average side sleepers, couples sensitive to partner motion, scent-driven shoppers

| Tulo Lavender Memory Foam 8" | 4.1 | 3.9 | 4.3 | 3.9 | 4.4 | 3.9 | 3.8 |
From these numbers, the two hybrids sit at the top as most balanced options, especially for support and everyday versatility. The Lavender and Green Tea 8" models act as specialists for pressure relief and motion isolation, particularly for lighter sleepers. The 6-inch Firm stands apart as a deliberately hard surface that trades comfort depth for bunk-friendly practicality.
Best Picks in This Tulo Mattress Reviews Round
-
Best Tulo Mattress for Hot Sleepers – Tulo 10" Medium Cooling Hybrid
This hybrid sits at the top for cooling and responsiveness in our lineup. Hot sleepers gain airflow from the coil core plus less-heat-retaining foams, while support scores stay strong for back and combination sleepers. -
Best Tulo Mattress for Mixed Side-and-Back Sleepers – Tulo Green Tea Hybrid 10" Medium
The Green Tea Hybrid offered the most comfortable blend of contour and structure for me and Mia. Side-heavy combination sleepers gained deeper shoulder relief without losing spinal alignment, and couples liked the controlled motion. -
Best Budget Tulo Mattress for Guest and Youth Rooms – Tulo Green Tea 8" Medium
For spare rooms, teens, or smaller adults, the 8-inch Green Tea model delivered enough comfort at a very low price band. It isolated motion well and stayed compact for bunks and small frames.
How to Choose the Tulo Mattress That Fits You
From the perspective of buyers, Tulo lines up as a value family with some clear branches. Foam models lean toward budget and compact installs. Hybrids chase better cooling and support for adults using the mattress every night.
For light-weight side sleepers, I point first toward the Tulo Green Tea Hybrid 10" Medium or the Tulo Lavender Memory Foam 8". Mia’s shoulders relaxed best on those two, and her spine stayed level. If scented foam sounds appealing and bedroom heat stays moderate, the Lavender version makes sense. If you want more bounce and long-term structure, the hybrid feels safer.
For an average-weight back sleeper, the decision shifts slightly. Carlos favored the Green Tea Hybrid for its steady mid-back support. I would also consider the Cooling Hybrid under warmer bedroom conditions or thicker comforters. That model kept my lumbar curve aligned even during longer laptop sessions.
A hot sleeper with any body type should look straight at the Tulo 10" Medium Cooling Hybrid. Marcus’s experience underlined its advantage. He stayed cooler than on any foam Tulo, and his frame received the strongest airflow and lift. People who sweat under foam stacks usually appreciate that change.
A heavier couple, especially where at least one partner moves a lot, fits best on one of the hybrids. The Cooling Hybrid delivers stronger support reserves, while the Green Tea Hybrid adds a softer top for the lighter partner. Jenna and I stayed comfortable on both; Marcus simply liked the firmer one more.
For a heavier couple on a tight budget, Tulo foam may struggle long term. Under those circumstances, I would steer people toward saving for a sturdier hybrid or watching for strong promotions on the Tulo hybrids through Mattress Firm.
A heavier-than-average solo sleeper who insists on a Tulo foam model should treat the Green Tea 8" or Lavender 8" as short-term choices and consider adding a strong foundation and rotation routine.
Limitations of the Main Tulo Mattress Lineup
These Tulo mattresses share a few limits as a group. Very heavy sleepers above the mid-200-pound range push both hybrid and foam models close to their structural edge earlier than premium beds. Support stays acceptable for a while but lacks the deep coil gauge or thick foam stacks seen in higher-priced lines.
People chasing an ultra-plush, cloudlike feel will not find it here. Even the softer Tulo options stay restrained in their contour. Our team never confused any Tulo with a luxury pillow-top.
Fans of very bouncy innerspring-only beds may also feel underwhelmed. The hybrids sit in a modern, restrained zone with controlled bounce. The foam models mute motion heavily and trade spring for stability.
Finally, shoppers at extreme budget levels still need to account for real use patterns. The 6-inch and 8-inch foam models handle guest rooms and kids’ rooms well. Under full-time adult use, our impressions suggest faster softening and comfort loss than thicker, more expensive builds.

FAQs About Tulo Mattress Reviews
1. Are Tulo mattresses good for everyday adult use or mainly for guests?
Tulo hybrids work best for everyday adult use in our testing. Foam models feel more aligned with guest rooms, youth rooms, or lighter adults, especially in the thinner 6- and 8-inch builds.
2. Which Tulo mattress works best for hot sleepers?
From our experience, the Tulo 10" Medium Cooling Hybrid handled heat most effectively. Marcus noticed fewer hot wake-ups on that model than on any foam Tulo mattress.
3. How firm are Tulo mattresses compared with other budget beds?
Tulo firmness sits slightly above many bargain foams. The Cooling Hybrid lands near medium-firm, the Green Tea Hybrid near medium, the Green Tea 8" and Lavender near medium, and the 6-inch Green Tea clearly firm.
4. Do Tulo mattresses smell strongly when first opened?
All compressed foam mattresses release some odor. The Lavender Memory Foam version brings a deliberate lavender scent on top. That scent faded for our team over several days with ventilation, although sensitive noses noticed it early.
5. Are Tulo mattresses good for heavier sleepers above 230 pounds?
Hybrids handle heavier sleepers better than foam models in this brand. Marcus stayed more comfortable on the Cooling Hybrid and Green Tea Hybrid than on any Tulo foam. Extremely heavy sleepers may still want a thicker, more robust design from another line.
6. Do Tulo mattresses work on adjustable bases?
Yes, all the Tulo models we used flexed on adjustable bases without structural issues. The thinner foam versions bent most easily. Hybrids also performed well as long as base slats supported the coil system properly.
7. How long should a Tulo mattress last?
Under typical adult use, we expect Tulo hybrids to feel supportive for many years, given their coil cores and moderate foam stacks. Foam models may soften faster under heavy bodies but should handle youth and guest use respectably within their warranty window.
8. Which Tulo mattress is best for couples worried about motion transfer?
The Lavender 8" and Green Tea 8" foam models isolate motion most. Jenna barely felt partner entries there. Hybrids also controlled motion reasonably well but trade some isolation for bounce.
9. Are Tulo mattresses compatible with platform beds or slat frames?
They worked on solid platforms and slatted frames during our testing. Slats should sit close enough together to prevent sagging, especially under foam models. Most retailer guidelines call for slats spaced a few inches apart.
10. Is the lavender scent on the Tulo Lavender mattress permanent?
No. The lavender smell hit hardest during the first few days. Over time, as the foam aired out, the scent softened into a lighter background note in our studio.
