Tuft & Needle | Phoenix, AZ | UX Designer

We're disrupting the mattress industry by providing a high-quality mattress for less by cutting out the middle-man markups and scammy industry tactics. In 2013, we set out to build a better product, and a better experience than what was offered to us. Along the way, we've found a passion for creating products of value. Careers at Tuft & Needle go well beyond competitive pay, benefits, and perks (although we have all of those). We're much more than a mattress company. At Tuft & Needle, we are a collection of entrepreneurs who have come together to build something we could not have done on our own.
