Hybrid Mattresses

What is a hybrid mattress?

A hybrid mattress is the combination of a pocket sprung mattress and a top layer of memory foam, latex, or gel. This way, you don’t have to choose between one type of mattress; you can have the stability and support that pocket springs provide, while enjoying the extra cushioning and comfort of memory foam.

The benefits of hybrid mattresses

If you're looking for a new mattress there are probably some comfort issues that you’d like to resolve. Many common sleep issues like pain and restlessness can be due to having the wrong kind of mattress. Hybrid mattresses have some great benefits that can help a lot of people get a better night's sleep.

Extra comfy

The biggest benefit of hybrid mattresses is the level of comfort they provide. By using the dual technology, you can get exactly the right kind of support and softness that you like.

Helps back and joint pain when sleeping

Hybrid mattresses are one of the best choices for anyone who has back or joint pain while they sleep, which usually indicates that your mattress does not give you the right support. Pocket sprung mattresses are very reactive to movement and limit transference when you move around. While the memory foam, gel, or latex top layer will cushion your body at the pressure points, allowing you to sink into the mattress and relax.

Great for all sleeping positions

Your preferred sleep position is a big factor in deciding what kind of mattress is right for you, which is why combination mattresses are so popular. The combination of materials means that they have the right support for side, front, and back sleepers.

Ideal for couples

If you sleep with a partner, then some mattresses can be uncomfortable for one of you, or they can have too much transference, so movement disturbs you both. This isn't a problem with hybrid mattresses as they have the stability of pocket springs, which are designed to move separately and cushion you as you move.

These mattresses also reduce roll together and have edge support, which means that no matter where you sleep in your bed, it'll feel supportive and spacious.

Regulates your temperature

While memory foam mattress can retain heat and cause you to get hot in the night, pocket sprung mattresses have great airflow. By combining the two together, this kind of mattress helps to regulate your temperature much better than other mattresses.

If you tend to get too hot at night, we recommend trying a gel mattress, which is specially designed to keep you cool.

Are hybrid mattresses better than memory foam?

Memory foam mattresses are extremely popular for good reason; they feel super luxurious to sleep on and mould to your body perfectly. However, they don't work for everyone and many people like the firmer support that pocket sprung mattresses give. This means that for a lot of people, hybrid mattresses are the ideal solution.
