Idle has developed a mattress with an unique design.Idle Mattress Info
They have actually made a mattress with the SAME firmness on both sides which really helps this mattress stand out from other 2-sided bed-in-the-box brands that have a different firmness choice on each side.
This was an idea that used to be common for many conventional innerspring mattresses up until the expenses got expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped selling the ones you might turn and chose the less expensive to manufacture one-sided versions.
Thanks to Idle Sleep, the dual sided flippable mattress is back.
This distinct design allows you to turn the Idle over regularly to extend the life of the mattress and prevent any drooping or indentations from occurring. This is specifically helpful in the case of couples where one partner is heavier than the other.
