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.

Answer a few questions to find the right mattress for your unique needs
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.
Logan Foley
Editorial Director
Side
140 pounds
Has too many dogs in the bed
“For a side sleeper like me, the Tulo Mattress nicely cushions my hips and shoulders, making it comfortable for me to settle into bed.”
Colin Simpson
Product Research Manager
Side
190 pounds
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.”
Mary Fenton
Head of Product Content
Combination
150 pounds
Sleeps with a noise machine
“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.

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.
