what are the benefits of a hybrid mattress?
hybrid mattresses have many benefits. they are super comfortable, provide perfect support and also provide great pressure relief. keep reading to discover its benefits.
1. they are really comfortable!
hybrid mattresses are some of the most comfortable mattresses out there! Whether memory foam, cooling gel, or latex, the foam layer conforms to your unique shape and gives your mattress a soothing feel.
Combined with the supportive pocket springs underneath, the comfort layer gives the mattress a plush, luxurious feel. in fact, customers often describe sleeping on this type of mattress as “sleeping on a cloud.”
2. soothe aches and pains
Whether you’re tired and sore after a long day, or suffer from joint pain, you’ll get better pressure relief with a hybrid mattress. That’s because they have comfortable foam and pocket springs, and that’s a great combination for general aches and pains.
3. you can choose the right firmness for you
hybrid mattresses are very versatile mattresses and are available in all kinds of firmness options.
Whatever firmness preference you have, you’ll find the perfect mattress for you. read more about firmness in our guide.
4. you’ll get support exactly where you need it
Because hybrids have hundreds, even thousands, of individual pocket springs, you’ll get head-to-toe support for every part of your body. pocket springs provide plenty of support for heavier areas like the hips, and softer support for lighter areas.
5. you will feel fresh and cool
many include built-in cooling technology, making them a great option if you’re a hot sleeper. From breathable covers to cooling gel and even bamboo charcoal memory foam, hybrid mattresses include all sorts of temperature-regulating features to keep you cool.
6. they are great for all sleeping positions
Whether you sleep on your back, side, front, or all three, a hybrid mattress is ideal. Layers of foam add cushioning comfort for your hips and shoulders if you’re a side sleeper, and pocket springs provide great support for all sleeping positions. learn more in our guide to sleeping positions.
7. there is no curl
Unlike traditional spring mattresses (often called open spring mattresses), pocket springs support each individual part of your body, rather than distributing weight across an entire row of springs.
Thanks to the superior support of pocket springs, you’ll sleep in your own “zone” with a hybrid mattress. this means they won’t roll against each other!
8. no motion transfer
Hybrid mattresses are great if you’re a light sleeper, thanks to the combination of foam and pocket springs. Whether you need to get up at night or change your sleeping position, they are far less inconvenient than traditional spring mattresses.
The magic of pocket springs comes from their independent movement. since each one is designed to react to the specific weight and pressure applied to it, the other springs will not move. this means your move will not be transferred to your partner, and vice versa.
9. you will get more sleeping space
Do you find yourself rolling off the edge of your current mattress? not with a hybrid! many come with built-in edge support as standard.
This edge support is usually created using a firmer foam coating known as “foam encapsulation”. reinforced outer edge support gives you more sleeping space, and don’t worry about rolling out of bed!
10. you will sleep easier
With a hybrid, you’ll get more room to sleep, they won’t roll up together, and you won’t have to worry about rolling either. this means there’s less chance of waking up during the night, and both you and your partner will enjoy more restful sleep.
11. they are much easier to care for
In our busy modern world, the last thing we need is more homework! Compared to traditional mattresses, hybrid mattresses are easier to keep in excellent condition.
many hybrids are single sided, meaning they don’t need to be turned over. They often include removable and washable covers, so you can enjoy a cleaner, fresher feel.
12. they are more ecological
many hybrid mattresses are suitable for vegans and have no chemical treatments. Take the dreamcloud luxury memory hybrid mattress, for example. it is certified by certipur®, which makes it a healthier and more ecological alternative to traditional mattresses.
So if you’re looking for a mattress that’s kinder to you and the planet, a hybrid mattress might be just what you’re looking for.
13. they are easier to install
Often rolled up and packaged, hybrids are much easier to transport and install in your home. Known as “beds in a box,” they’re great if you have a smaller bedroom or a narrow hallway.
14. you can taste them!
many hybrid mattresses benefit from sleep testing. This means that you can try your mattress for up to 365 nights, and if you don’t like it, you can exchange it for another mattress. is a great option if you’re not sure which mattress to choose.
you can try a variety of mattresses including simba, casper, dreamcloud and many more.

Are hybrid mattresses good for back pain?
yes, hybrid mattresses are a great option if you suffer from back pain. Thanks to the individual support of each pocket spring, you will get excellent spinal alignment and postural care.
Each pocket spring reacts independently to its unique body shape and weight. that means they can provide more or less support, depending on the area of the body. the result is a perfectly tailored feel, with just the right amount of support where you need it and no more aches and pains.
Of course, there are many other types of mattresses that are designed to take care of your back. our range of orthopedic mattresses are expertly made to ensure a healthy sleeping posture and high levels of back support.

Do hybrid mattresses get hot?
in general, they should not get hot. in fact, you should sleep cooler with a hybrid compared to traditional mattresses. here’s why:
Of course, it’s true that there are many different types, and some may feel warmer or cooler than others.
If you are looking for a fresh and breathable mattress, we recommend hybrid gel mattresses. the gel foam layer adds a cooler feel and when combined with the smart temperature control cover technology, you can be sure of a more comfortable night’s sleep.
Of course, there are many cooling options available. Take a look at our full range of cooling mattresses!

how long do hybrid mattresses last?
They can last for many years, as long as you take care of them properly. many also come with impressive guarantees, like our range of dormeo mattresses.
however, over time, your mattress will begin to lose the comfort and support you’ve come to expect from it. this is a gradual change and you may not notice it.
This is why we recommend replacing your hybrid mattress every seven years, to ensure optimal support, hygiene and quality. For more information, check out our mattress replacement guide.

do hybrid mattresses come in a box?
yes, many come in a box, but not always. Hybrid mattresses are often vacuum sealed and rolled up. they can then be placed in a box for added protection on their way to you. this makes them easier to deliver right to your door, and you can enjoy your new mattress sooner.
Often referred to as a “bed in a box,” these types of mattresses are no different than mattresses that are delivered flat. in fact, because we fit more in our vans, we can make fewer trips. this makes rolled mattresses a much greener option: you can literally help save the planet while you sleep!
