We were impressed by how well this mattress absorbed movements – making it a great choice for light sleepers who are easily disturbed by a partner in bed – but less enamored with the edge support, which was on the weak side. As is the case with many hybrid models, this mattress regulates temperature well and you shouldn't have issues with overheating when sleeping on it. A few negatives to bear in mind: The cover is dry-clean only, and it’s made in China rather than here in the UK. Other than that, I find it hard to fault.

And based on that information, you can decide whether you want a luxury hybrid mattress or one of the cheaper models. But we will point out that this is a generalisation and there are bound to be plenty of outliers! Low-end hybrid mattresses Hybrid mattresses are best for those who have tried innerspring and memory foam mattresses and found neither one perfect. Specifically, if you relate to the following, a hybrid mattress may be good for you: For those looking for something a little different to the norm (i.e by brands like Eve Sleep and Emma) then give the OTTY Pure a go. It’s my runner up choice for hybrid mattress, and quite frankly as it’s an OTTY known for their plain-speaking, you’re unlikely to get confused with mumbo-jumbo and marketing gobbledygook. Very little if any memory foam– Just like with a low-end memory foam mattress, a cheaper hybrid is likely to have very little actual memory foam. It will mostly focus on regular foam when creating the bulk of the mattress. And this is significant as regular foam doesn't offer the same level of comfort as memory foam.A cover made from proprietary ArcticTex fabric encases the mattress, which begins with polyfoam quilted into the Euro-top. ArticTex fabric is designed to keep the surface cool to the touch. Next is a layer of proprietary AirFoamICE, a graphite-infused polyfoam meant to conduct heat away from the body to regulate temperature. Our testers noted this layer also gently cradles the body to relieve pressure buildup in the joints.

Go to Offer Simba Sleep were one of the first companies to offer a Hybrid. But now there are many competitors. What are the benefits of Hybrid mattresses? Also, bear in mind that if you buy from a third-party retailer, the terms of a sleep trial – even whether they're offering one at all – might differ from those you'd get if you bought directly from the brand. If you have trouble falling or staying asleep because of pain, a new mattress might be able to help – especially a hybrid. So, that's something to keep in mind.Boxed vs. Delivery: You can find hybrids available that are compressed and shipped in a box for self-setup or those with a setup and delivery service included. Boxed hybrids allow you to set up the mattress on your own time while a delivery service saves you some manual labor at the cost of waiting around. Helix has an extensive line of hybrid mattresses designed for specific types of sleepers in terms of position and body type. The Helix Midnight is one of the brand’s most popular offerings thanks to a balanced medium firm (6) design that cushions and contours to your body while providing sturdy overall support. Our testing found these qualities make the mattress particularly well-suited to side sleeping. The type of bed frame can affect the feel of the hybrid mattress, too. Wooden slats will support the medium firm feel of the mattress, whereas a box spring tends to create a softer feel and is generally less supportive. And if you’re wondering whether hybrid mattresses are safe on the floor, the answer’s yes - but we’d suggest propping your mattress on its side every once in a while to let it breathe. You can buy the Saatva Classic in one of three different comfort levels: plush soft (rated a 3 out of 10 on the firmness scale), luxury firm (rated a 5-7 on the firmness scale), and firm (rated an 8 out of 10). Saatva's best-selling hybrid also comes in two different heights (11.5" or 14.5") to better suit your body. It looks and feels like a traditional innerspring mattress and it is finished to an almost immaculate standard. Even after a year's full testing, our Saatva Classic is still in pristine condition with zero sagging or dips in support. Comfort– While comfort is subjective, there's a reason why so many people love memory foam mattresses. And while not always as soft as a memory foam mattress, a good hybrid mattress sports a similar comfort level.

Finally, we take any trial runs that might be on offer into consideration – which are common within the bed-in-a-box market – before asking the vital question, is the mattress good value for money? Next, read about the types of foam or other materials used in the comfort layer . Latex is going to result in a firmer, more responsive mattress. Memory foam will result in a mattress that is much better at conforming to your body, and is an important layer if you are a side sleeper who needs extra pressure relief .

A seasoned veteran in the organic bedding industry, Naturepedic's mattresses stand out among the rest for their attention to detail. This model in particular has a modular design that allows you to personalize the firmness of your side of the bed and even swap out the layers over time to prolong the life of your mattress . With over five firmness levels to choose from, couples with different preferences can have it their way without having to splurge on a split king model. Finally, hybrid mattresses are generally low maintenance. They often come with removable, washable covers, and due to their unique structure, they rarely need flipping – only rotating every so often. This makes them incredibly easy to keep clean and in great shape for a long time. The construction of the Helix Midnight starts with a 100% polyester cover that feels smooth and soft, and we found it retains little heat. Below the cover, the comfort system includes two layers of foam. The top layer is Helix’s formulation of memory foam, known as Memory Plus Foam. Our testers noted that it compresses to accommodate pressure points but with slightly more bounce and less heat buildup than traditional memory foam.
