Despite regularly getting six to eight hours of zeds, I'd feel dreadful upon waking: inertia, stiffness, lack of energy. Springing out of bed was tough. I blamed diminished efforts with my diet (not helped by a broken oven) and not bothering with my usual yoga routine. I'd had plenty to keep me awake this year: my son's exams and university departure, chaos surrounding home decoration and long-drawn-out oven repairs, and a busy schedule. I was sleeping, but I wasn't feeling the benefit of resting.
In my years as a professional mattress reviewer and certified sleep coach, I've found that hybrid mattresses typically feature two, maybe three, materials, to allow users to enjoy the benefit of each. In Thuma's case, however, this hybrid comprises five. There's a eucalyptus-derived Tencel, spandex, and rayon cover, included for temperature control at the surface; organic wool; "biobased" memory foam; organic Dunlop latex for a firm feel; and pocketed coils in the middle.
Tiami's raison d'être is its special features meant to promote better pressure relief and full-body support. However, Tiami is not the first to make this claim. When I initially chatted with Leesa founder and Tiami cofounder David Wolfe, he explained that Tiami's going after ultra-luxury brands like Hästens, Kluft, and Vispring, which Wolfe says are "great mattresses, but extraordinarily expensive."
