The word Hybrid has gotten its fair share of play in the mattress business lately, but what exactly is a hybrid mattress? Mattress shopping can be confusing enough without throwing a new vague term all willy nilly into the mix. In short, a Hybrid is the combination of springs and foam. But wait a minute. Don’t most mattresses have those components? And if so why the new buzz word? This is what I am going to address for you and hopefully clear up any confusion that might leave you scratching your head instead of resting your head.
It’s not just about springs. A true hybrid mattress should have the best of both worlds when it comes to springs and foam. As far as springs goes the best on the market is the individual wrapped coil. This coil system is not connected by a metal wire allowing for independent support for each user and motion separation between partners. this coils system has been thoroughly tested throughout the years for durability and support. Made famous by the Simmons Beautyrest company you can now get this technology in brands such as Tempur-pedic Hybrid, Serta I Series, Englander Resort Collection, Sealy Hybrid, Stearns & foster, and Jamison Custom Bedding Co. to name just a few. However, the wrapped coils is only half of the puzzle.
Premium foam includes Gel, latex, and Air flow Memory Foam. In order for a mattress to be considered a true Hybrid style you should have the already mentioned wrapped coil and a generous portion of premium foams. 2″ should be the bare minimum for a premium quality hybrid mattress set. Most higher quality sleep systems will boast 3″, 4″, and even 5″ premium foam layers. Keep an eye out for these specific features when shopping for a great deal on a new Hybrid mattress set.
Be aware that several online mattress in a box companies are advertising sub par offerings under the name Hybrid. Remember this: “If it can fit in a box, it’s not fit to be in your home”. a friend of mine told me that and it stuck with me. It makes perfect sense. Anything that is suppose to support your body for many years should be so durable that it could never be squashed into a box. Fortunately you don’t have to fall for clever advertising and cheap tricks. You can visit your local Mattress Gallery Direct showroom to try the largest selection of luxury Hybrid mattresses and adjustable bases on the market. And get this!
