Idle Latex Mattress – Best Flippable Hybrid Brand of the Year

Girl sitting on Idle mattress without sheets with her computer and mug in hand.

Idle has developed a mattress with an unique style.Idle Latex Mattress
Unlike other flippable bed-in-the-box mattresses which have a different firmness on each side, Idle created their mattresses with the SAME firmness on both sides.

This was an idea that used to be common for numerous standard innerspring mattresses till the costs got expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped selling the ones you might turn and chose the less expensive to produce one-sided versions.

Thanks to Idle Sleep, the 2 sided flippable mattress is back.

This unique style enables you to flip the Idle over occasionally to prolong the life of the mattress and avoid any drooping or imprints from happening. This is particularly useful in the case of couples where one partner is heavier than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress SummaryIdle Latex Mattress

All Idle mattresses are made by hand in Colorado Springs, CO since 2017.

Idle has a really generous sleep trial period of 18 months which is around 540 days. If at anytime within the 18 month trial you decide Idle is not the right mattress for you, they will coordinate a return with you or donation and refund 100% of your purchase price. Idle’s trial is the longest in the market– 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 means that they contain no PBDE’s, TDCPP or ozone depleters.

Idle mattresses are 14″ high and created with handgrips attached on the sides which make it simple to rotate them.

They are also ideal for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combination sleepers (people that turn between positions throughout the night.)

The hybrid mattresses are also preferred for people with back pain because the pocketed coils will give your spine support while the foam or latex will cushion your pressure points.

Both are constructed of materials which are created to help you sleep cool and get a good nights rest.

Cover— The all cotton cover has a 1″ layer of natural wool woven into it to supply more comfort and added softness.

3 ″ Gel Buoyancy Foam— Talalay or 100% Natural Dunlop Latex layers provides cooling and bounce to the mattress in addition to providing it more support than ordinary 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.
They go all the way to the edge of the mattress for maximum firmness from edge to edge.

1 ″ Top— described above.

The Latex Hybrid is made with 100% organic cotton, wool and natural latex which are materials that are known for their cooling qualities.Idle Latex Mattress

Latex tends to sleep really cool due to the fact that it is aerated and will not trap heat the way a traditional memory foam mattress does.

The layers are held together with button tufting rather than glue to make this a truly green mattress.

How firm is the Idle?

The Idle Sleep mattresses are available in 2 firmness possibilities: Medium and Luxury Firm.

You have the option of selecting 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 discover 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 very best edge support whether you are resting on the edge or sleeping near it.

MOTION TRANSFER

Even though there is some bounce with the Idle, there is a very small amount of motion transfer. The individually enclosed coils isolate motion better than conventional inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the mattress-in-a-box category this one might be a great choice if you sleep with a significant other or an animal so your sleep will not be affected by their movement.
