The special style of the Idle Sleep mattress will interest a great deal of individuals.Idle Mattress Layers
Unlike other 2-sided 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 many conventional innerspring mattresses until the costs got expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped selling the ones you might flip and chose the cheaper to manufacture one-sided models.
Thanks to Idle Sleep, the dual sided flippable mattress is back.
This distinct design enables you to turn the Idle over periodically to extend the life of the mattress and prevent any sagging or indentations from taking place. This is specifically advantageous in the case of couples where one partner is larger than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress OverviewIdle Mattress Layers
All Idle mattresses are handmade in Colorado Springs, CO since 2017.
You can try out an Idle mattress risk free in your home for a full 18 months to decide if Idle works for you. If at anytime within that trial period 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 industry– about 540 nights!
How is the Idle Hybrid Mattress Constructed?
Idle has two designs that are made with Certipur certified foams which means that they contain no PBDE’s, ozone depleters or TDCPP.
Idle mattresses are 14″ tall and smartly made with handgrips attached to the sides which make it easier to rotate them.
They are also ideal for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combination sleepers (individuals that turn between positions throughout the night.)
The hybrid mattresses are also preferred for people with back pain because the coils will give your back support while the foam or latex will cushion your pressure points.
You can sleep cool on these mattresses because the fabrics that they are made with are known for their cooling qualities.
THE IDLE HYBRID
1 ″ Quilted Foam Cover— Contouring foam is woven into the upper layer which offers it softness.
1 ″ Response Foam— This layer is designed with aerated foam which offers cooling and bounce.
2 ″ Cooling Buoyancy Foam— Made without visco elastic chemicals to stay cooler than memory foam and provides much better pressure relief for places like back and hips.

3 ″ Gel Buoyancy Foam— Talalay or 100% Natural Dunlop Latex layers supplies cooling and bounce to the mattress along with giving it more support than ordinary memory foam. The latex is naturally hypoallergenic and has anti-microbial properties, too.
6 ″ Pocketed Coils— This layer has high quality steel pocketed innerspring springs that act as the core support of the mattress.

1 ″ Top— described above.
The Latex Hybrid is made with 100% organic cotton, wool and natural latex which are fabrics that are recognized for their cooling qualities.Idle Mattress Layers
Latex tends to sleep really cool due to the fact that it is aerated and will not trap heat the in the same way a standard memory foam mattress does.
The layers are held together with button tufting instead of glue to make this a truly eco-friendly mattress.
How firm is the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses are available in 2 firmness possibilities: Medium and Luxury Firm.
You have the choice 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 people will find the Luxury Firm more supportive.
EDGE SUPPORT
This is a measure of how supportive 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 support whether you are resting on the edge or sleeping near it.
MOTION TRANSFER
There is very little motion transfer even though these mattresses do have some bounce. The separately wrapped coils isolate motion much better than traditional inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the mattress-in-a-box classification this one might be a great alternative if you sleep with a spouse or a pet so your sleep will not be disturbed by their movement.
