The unique style of the Idle Sleep mattress will interest a lot of individuals.Idle Mattress Foundation
Unlike other flippable bed-in-the-box mattresses which have a different firmness on each side, Idle developed their mattresses with the SAME firmness on both sides.
This was an idea that used to be typical for lots of standard innerspring mattresses up until the expenses got expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped offering the ones you might turn and went with the less expensive to make one-sided models.
Thanks to Idle Sleep, the 2 sided flippable mattress is back.
This distinct style enables you to turn the Idle over regularly to lengthen the life of the mattress and prevent any sagging or indentations from happening. This is particularly useful when it comes to couples where one partner is bigger than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress SummaryIdle Mattress Foundation
The business, Idle Sleep, was founded in 2017 and is based in Colorado Springs, CO. All of the mattresses are hand made to order in the U.S.A..
You can try out an Idle mattress risk free in your home for a full 18 months to decide if Idle is comfortable for you. If at anytime within the 18 month trial you choose Idle is not the best 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 industry– about 540 nights!
How is the Idle Hybrid Constructed?
Both the Idle Hybrid and the Idle Latex Hybrid are made with Certipur certified foams which guarantees that they consist of no PBDE’s, TDCPP or ozone depleters.
They are both 14″ tall, 2-sided and are made with handgrips for ease in handling the mattresses.
They are also excellent for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combination sleepers (people that turn between positions during the night.)
People with back pain may find that a hybrid mattress provides them some relief because the pocketed coils will provide support for your back while the latex or foam will provide cushioning support to pressure points.
Both are constructed of materials which are produced to really 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 provides it softness.
1 ″ Response Foam— This layer is designed with aerated foam which supplies cooling and bounce.
2 ″ Cooling Buoyancy Foam— Made without visco elastic chemicals to stay cooler than memory foam and provides better pressure relief for places like hips and back.
6 ″ Pocketed Coils— This layer acts 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.

6 ″ Pocketed Coils— This layer has high quality steel pocketed innerspring springs that serve 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— explained above.
The cover of the Idle latex hybrid is made of organic cotton and wool which are both breathable fabrics and help with air flow and cooling.Idle Mattress Foundation
Latex tends to sleep extremely cool since it is aerated and will not trap heat the way a traditional memory foam mattress does.
Rather than using glue to hold the mattress layers together, Idle Sleep uses button tufting which is a green method.
How firm is the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses come in 2 firmness selections: Medium and Luxury Firm.
You have the choice of choosing 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.
Heavier individuals will discover the Luxury Firm more supportive.
EDGE SUPPORT
This is a measure of how firm the bed is around its border.
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
There is very little motion transfer although these mattresses do have some bounce. The individually wrapped coils isolate motion better than standard inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the bed-in-a-box class this one may be a great option if you sleep with a partner or an animal so your sleep will not be impacted by their motion.
