Idle has created a mattress with a special style.Idle Foam Mattress
They have made a mattress with the SAME firmness on both sides which really makes this mattress stand apart from other 2-sided bed-in-the-box brands that have a different firmness alternative on each side.
This was a model that used to be common for lots of standard innerspring mattresses till the costs got too expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped selling the ones you could turn and opted for the less expensive to manufacture one-sided models.
In a daring move, Idle has actually revived the flippable 2-sided mattress.
This distinct design enables you to turn the Idle over periodically to extend the life of the mattress and avoid any drooping or indentations from occurring. This is particularly beneficial when it comes to couples where one partner is heavier than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress OverviewIdle Foam Mattress
The business, Idle Sleep, was founded in 2017 and is based in Colorado Springs, CO. All of the mattresses are handcrafted to order in the USA.
You can sleep on an Idle mattress risk free in your home for a full 18 months to choose if Idle works for you. If at anytime within that trial period you choose Idle is not the right mattress for you, they will coordinate a return or donation and refund 100% of your purchase cost. Idle’s trial is the longest in the industry– about 540 nights!
How is the Idle Hybrid Mattress Constructed?
Both the Idle Hybrid and the Idle Latex Hybrid are made with Certipur certified foams which indicates that they contain no PBDE’s, TDCPP or ozone depleters.
They are both 14″ tall, 2-sided and feature handgrips for ease in handling the mattresses.
They are likewise suitable for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combination sleepers (individuals that turn between positions during the night.)
People with back pain could find that a hybrid mattress provides them some relief since the springs will support your spinal column while the latex or foam will provide cushioning support to pressure points.
Both are constructed of fabrics which are produced to help you sleep cool and get a good nights rest.
THE IDLE HYBRID
1 ″ Quilted Foam Cover— Contouring foam is woven into the top layer which offers it softness.
1 ″ Response Foam— This layer is developed with aerated foam which provides cooling and bounce.
2 ″ Cooling Buoyancy Foam— Made without visco elastic chemicals to remain cooler than memory foam and provides much better pressure relief for areas like back and hips.
6 ″ Pocketed Coils— This layer serves as the core support of the mattress with high quality steel pocketed innerspring coils that go all the way to the edge of the mattress.
2 ″ Cooling Buoyancy Foam— described above.

The cover of the Idle Hybrid is made with Thermocool which is a fabric that helps keep you cool when you’re hot and warm when you are cool.
IDLE LATEX HYBRID
You can order this hybrid with Talalay or Dunlop latex.
Cover— The all cotton cover has a 1 inch layer of natural wool woven into it to supply more comfort and added softness.
3 ″ Gel Buoyancy Foam— 100% Natural Dunlop Latex or Talalay layers offers cooling and bounce to the mattress along with providing it more firmness than regular memory foam. The latex is naturally hypoallergenic and has anti-microbial qualities, too.
6 ″ Pocketed Coils— This layer has high quality steel pocketed innerspring coils that function as the core support of the mattress.

1 ″ Top— described above.
The Latex Hybrid is made with 100% natural cotton, wool and natural latex which are fabrics that are known for their cooling qualities.Idle Foam Mattress
Latex tends to sleep really cool because it is aerated and will not trap heat the in the same way a standard memory foam mattress does.
Instead of using glue to hold the mattress layers together, Idle Sleep uses button tufting which is a natural method.
What is the firmness of the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses are available in 2 firmness selections: Medium and Luxury Firm.
You have the option of picking a mattress with 2 Luxury Firm sides, 2 Medium sides or Medium on one side and Luxury Firm on the other side.
The Medium is around a 6.5 out of 10, where 10 is the firmest. The Luxury Firm is around a 9 out of 10.
Larger individuals will find the Luxury Firm more supportive.
EDGE SUPPORT
This is a measure of how supportive the bed is around its boundary.
The coils on the Idle Sleep mattresses go right to the edge of the mattresses to offer the best edge support whether you are sitting on the edge or sleeping near it.
MOTION TRANSFER
Although there is some bounce with the Idle, there is a minimum amount of motion transfer. The individually wrapped coils isolate movement far better than traditional inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the bed-in-a-box class this one might be an excellent alternative if you sleep with a significant other or an animal so your sleep won’t be disturbed by their movement.
