The special construction of a hybrid mattress brings with it an appealing combination of comfort and responsiveness.
Not surprisingly, this type of mattress has become very popular with bed shoppers in recent years.
What is a ‘hybrid’ mattress?
Strictly speaking, a hybrid mattress refers to a mattress that combines foam and springs in one cohesive unit. This means that when viewed from the outside, the depth of the top comfort layer may not be observable.
For example, the Naptime 2.0 Mattress (pictured above) is a true hybrid mattress. It uses both foam and springs, and the external casing of the mattresses does not give any indication as to the depth or location of the (top) comfort layer.
The term ‘hybrid mattress’ can also be attributed to any mattress that incorporates foam and springs, even if the depth of the comfort layer is observable from the outside. An example of this is the Eva Mattress.
As much as there are technicalities around the true definition of a hybrid mattress, the main thing to recognise is that these mattresses combine the softness of foam and the responsiveness of an innerspring unit.
When considering a hybrid mattress, it is important to be aware of the true definition and varying applications of the term.
Why choose a hybrid mattress?
There are a number of great value hybrid mattresses on the market today. Hybrid mattresses have many of the same qualities as traditional innerspring mattresses, and usually have a ‘sleek’ and modern appearance.
Hybrid mattresses are typically comfortable, supportive, and responsive. This makes them a good choice for those looking for a nice ‘all round’ sleep experience.
Hybrid mattresses typically also have good ventilation, due to the fact that spring systems allow for good air flow.
The Zeek Hybrid Element Mattress (pictured above) is a good example of this, and is specially designed to help with temperature regulation.
