What Is A Hybrid Mattress?
A hybrid mattress is usually a blend of mattress engineering. An authentic hybrid is one that uses the technologies of memory foam and innerspring. Latex can be used in place of memory foam.
There are different types of hybrid mattresses. One type incorporates the characteristics of coil technology with the soft but firm pillow top mattress. Another kind uses various foam materials only throughout the mattress.
Memory Foam/Latex and Innerspring
Pros: The memory foam/latex and innerspring combination takes the finer of two technologies and fuses them into one. The memory foam/latex conforms to the curves of a person’s body while the innerspring gives the mattress bounce and a solid foundation. Many people find the blend a perfect solution to their bedding problems.
Cons: The beauty of true hybrid bedding is that there aren’t that many negatives! The mattress mixes the best qualities of both of its “parental units” in comfort and support. Hybrids are usually less expensive than the other two as well. Consumers must check the quality of materials being used in the mattress. Some hybrids made with material that is oil based are potentially harmful to a person’s health.
Pillow Top
Pros: Pillow top mattresses have long been sought out because of their combination of a firm network of coils underneath and the prized pillowy, soft layer on the top. Most pillow tops are sewn on the top of the mattress. Some have a feature where one can take the pillow part off of the mattress. Either way, people who like their bedding on the soft side enjoy the luxurious feel of this mattress.
Cons: Pillow top mattresses are very plush and posh. Their prices reflect that extravagance. Some customers reported that the comfort was a short-term occurrence. The dream-like softness turns into a droopy experience that wreaks havoc on the neck and back. Pillow tops can cause a sleeper to overheat while resting. They can ultimately interrupt the quality of a person’s sleep.
Super Foam
Pros: The construction of the foam composite mattress is the main difference between it and the more traditional memory foam bedding. A foam composite mattress is made of different types of foam. The contrasting forms of foam allow the layers to mimic the support function of an innerspring mattress and the pressure point technology of a memory foam one. Unlike the traditional memory foam bed, the hybrid variety lets the sleeper move in the bed instead of sinking into it.
Cons: Most brands of beds come with a variety of mattresses with various firmness options from soft to super firm. Consumers will discover which mattress suits their needs the best. With the foam composite mattress a customer would have to explore the different companies to find their comfort level. A few manufacturers make their mixed foam mattress on the soft side. Others are for clients who prefer their nighttime cushions to be firm. The average sleeper will find the brand for that medium mattress comfort.
Conclusion
A bed is a cherished piece of property. It may be one of the most important pieces of furniture in a person’s home. Finding the proper mattress can mean the difference between that vital, restorative sleep and the sleepless, painful, brain-fogged experience that the body and mind may endure. The hybrid mattress has its faults. But its positive qualities outweigh the negative. A hybrid mattress may be the answer to a good night’s sleep for many weary individuals.
