Honest Review of the New Tiami Mattress (2025)

One thing I take pride in as a professional mattress reviewer is that I strive to thoroughly scrutinize every aspect of a mattress I'm evaluating. In Tiami's case, if the brand is aiming to contend with “big-league” luxury brands, I will indeed hold it to that standard. First night, the bed felt pretty firm, which is typical for a new mattress. While that may not seem productive for those with joint issues, I did feel like there wasn't any excess pressure around my hips and shoulders while side sleeping.

As I spent more nights on the Tiami, I appreciated how the overall firmness provided lumbar support, ensuring that no part of the body sank in more than the others. This helps keep the upper and lower portions of the spine from bending out of alignment. However, I wished that the foam was a little bit more supportive under the lumbar zone when back sleeping. Since the spine has a natural curve to it, memory foam can help fill in the space. I wanted more of that here, but didn't get it. Stomach sleeping can also be tricky. This is because if the bed is too soft, the spine can bend into slight angles, which isn't the healthiest to be in for hours on end. But with Tiami and the overall firmness it lent, I actually opted to forgo my pillow while stomach sleeping to get the most pressure relief and lumbar support. In other words, it did a good job with stomach sleeping.

As for Tiami's flagship specialty coils, there was no doubt that I was able to get pressure relief from the mattress each night I tested it, and areas that can get aggravated from tension felt just fine. But that's just it—fine, not great. I was expecting something a bit more buoyant, given the supposed latexlike performance of Energex. While it was responsive like latex, letting me move around with no issues, I'm not sure that it fully translated to the feeling of full-on weightlessness. If you're dealing with pretty severe pain from arthritis or osteoporosis, for example, I think you'd be better off with a memory foam from Tempur-Pedic to avoid any pain points.

Edge support is something I also pay careful attention to, because you need to be able to get in and out of bed without tumbling. In my case, I regularly sleep on the edge, where support is of the utmost importance. Tiami's “double-pocketed support system” is a big marketing draw of this bed, but it's really just reinforced coils along the edges. These coils did a good job, and helped with the overall durability of the mattress in the long run. I have zero complaints about the edge support performance of the Tiami during my time with it. I will say, though, that pocketed coils are a pretty standard feature of hybrids nowadays.

Here's my verdict: The Tiami is a really solid mattress, and there was a lot of thought and care that went into its design. That much is clear based on its performance and how well I slept (which was pretty deeply each night, based on my sleep tracker). My concern more so lies in the fact that I have had very similar performances from less expensive mattresses—ones also made with luxury in mind, and often made to order.

If you're a fan of the luxury furniture store Design Within Reach, Tiami is available at storefront locations so you can feel it in person. But if you opt to get one online, there is also a 100-night sleep trial. This mattress aims for “luxury” in the fullest sense, and it succeeds. I'm just on the fence about justifying the price. But, if it checks all your boxes and fits the mattress description you're looking for, you can be the judge.
