What is a hybrid mattress?
A hybrid mattress combines innerspring structure with specialty comfort layers such as latex, memory foam or gel foam. Hybrid beds promise an exceptionally balanced feel since they combine the stand-out features of a coil foundation with contouring foam.
Enjoy deep, rejuvenating sleep on a hybrid bed that merges responsive, pressure-point relieving comfort and a sturdy coil system. When you’re shopping for a hybrid mattress, be sure to ask about the coil arrangement and density, as well as the type and number of comfort layers. Some of the higher-end models, like the BeautyRest Platinum Hybrid, boast a blend of temperature-regulating memory foam with comfort response latex on top of Simmon’s legendary Pocketed coil technology.
Variations in materials, style and construction
Construction, materials and thickness in foam layers make a world of difference. The underlying coils in a hybrid mattress can be arranged in different ways. Individually pocketed coils significantly reduce motion transfer, meaning your partner can toss and turn all night and you won’t feel a thing.
Some hybrid beds have zoned coil support with firmer coils in the center and springier coils on the outer thirds. Hybrid mattresses vary in the amount of comfort and contour layers they incorporate, with the average being 3 to 5 inches of memory or latex foam. Because there are so many variations in hybrid technology and comfort is subjective, trying before you buy is always recommended.
Whether you want a firmer bed for lower back pain, or the right mix of responsiveness and bounce, hybrid mattresses are an excellent solution. All of the materials play to their unique strengths, ensuring quality, uninterrupted slumber.
