Hybrid Mattresses

A hybrid mattress, also known as a combination mattress, combines the stability of a sprung mattress with the comfort of memory foam or other softer materials. Most hybrid mattresses consist of a spring base with a soft upper layer. This combination means you get the benefits of a soft mattress with the support of a firm mattress. The spring core is breathable and helps relieve pressure, while the foam upper layer conforms to the body for cloud-like comfort.

A hybrid mattress is the best choice for combination sleepers who sleep in various positions throughout the night. They’re an excellent option for ongoing comfort if you move a lot and change position throughout the night. Hybrid mattresses are also great for couples of mixed weights or those who prefer different levels of support. As hybrid mattresses combine the benefits of a softer mattress with the benefits of firm mattresses, they can support individual preferences.

Memory foam mattresses are made entirely of memory foam, which contours to the sleeper’s shape, while hybrid mattresses have springs, offering a little more bounce. Hybrid mattresses often use memory foam as the soft upper layer, offering the cloud-like and contouring feel of foam with the additional support of springs.

A popular type of mattress, hybrid mattresses offer many benefits to sleepers, including:

• Comfort - the number one must-have for any mattress is comfort, and by combining two different support systems, hybrid mattresses provide comfort in abundance!
• Great for back and joint pain - pocket sprung mattresses offer good support while minimising movement, while the soft comfort layer alleviates pressure and cushions your body.
• Suitable for any sleeping position - back, front, side; a hybrid mattress has you covered.
• A compromise - if you and your partner are at a stalemate over which mattress to choose, a hybrid mattress could be the answer. This type offers the best of both worlds and will keep both sleepers comfortable.
• Keeps you cool - the pocket-sprung core of a hybrid mattress aids air circulation keeping you cooler than a full memory foam mattress would.

Unfortunately, a hybrid mattress is not designed to be flipped. The comfort layer is only on one side of the mattress; if you flip a hybrid mattress, you will sleep on the base, which would be very uncomfortable.

If you want a mattress you can flip, look at our double-sided mattresses. They’re an excellent choice for getting the most from your mattress.
