What Is a Hybrid Mattress and What Is it Made Of?
Hybrid mattresses are a smart, innovative mattress type that combine a comfort layer of foam, gel or latex, as well as springs. The layer of foam could be of latex, gel, or memory foam and it is designed to contour and conform to the sleepers body shape. With the responsiveness of springs and the natural contouring of the foam, it means that hybrid mattresses can offer essential support and relieve pressure, while also being responsive and cooling when the body needs it.
It’s known as a smart mattress because of the combination of features, working together to provide support and comfort. There are four different types of springs, all of which possess a different structure and feel:
- Continuous springs– This is one continuous wire which is wrapped and shaped into coils in one mechanical motion
- Dual Layer Springs– A tied innerspring unit consisting of many springs that are tied together by rows of metal helical wires
- Pocketed Springs– Individual coils of wire in pockets of fabric that allow the springs to move freely and independently
- Bonnell coils – These are produced with hourglass shaped coils which are tied together with rows of helical coils
What Are The Benefits of a Hybrid Mattress?
In comparison to many traditional mattresses, a hybrid mattress tends to be more fresher looking and performs just as well, if not better than many ‘traditional mattresses’. So, what are the benefits of a hybrid mattress? Let’s take a look.
Great value – The hybrid offers amazing value for money, with gravity defying comfort and an extensive range of features that make it a popular choice for all sleepers.
Support – Hybrids are designed with thicker, high quality springs to increase support and therefore prevent sagging.
Temperature regulation – The cooling technologies the hybrid possesses makes it a great choice for hot sleepers. With improved airflow around the coils, some hybrids are cooler than memory foam mattresses.
Quilted – Most often a hybrid mattress is quilted, rather than tufted. This involves stitching several layers of material together, rather than tufting which involves passing tapes throughout the mattress.
Better for allergies – Hybrid mattresses, along with latex and memory foam, often resist common allergens and provide better relief for people who suffer from allergies.
