Why are you called Tuft & Needle?

When our founders JT and Daehee were in the early days of beginning the company, JT asked his neighbor, a master upholsterer, to teach him how to make a mattress. In the process of creating his first mattress, JT learned to tuft the mattress by hand with a large tufting needle.

When brainstorming names for the company, JT and Daehee wanted something that sounded authentic, timeless, and modern. JT remembered the tufting needle he used to make his first mattress and decided to call the company "Tuft & Needle". You can read the full story on our blog, linked here.
