The distinct style of the Idle Sleep mattress will appeal to a lot of individuals.Idle Mattress Negatives
Unlike other 2-sided 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 common for lots of standard innerspring mattresses up until the expenses got too expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped selling the ones you might flip and went with the less expensive to manufacture one-sided models.
In a bold move, Idle has actually revived the flippable dual sided mattress.
This special design enables you to turn the Idle over occasionally to lengthen the life of the mattress and avoid any drooping or indentations from taking place. This is particularly useful when it comes to couples where one partner is heavier than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress OverviewIdle Mattress Negatives
Hand-made in the U.S.A., Idle Sleep has actually been making mattresses ever since 2017.
You can sleep on an Idle mattress risk free in your house for a complete 18 months to choose if Idle works for you. If at anytime within that trial duration you decide Idle is not the ideal mattress for you, they will coordinate a return 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 2 designs that are made with Certipur certified foams which means that they contain no PBDE’s, TDCPP or ozone depleters.
They are both 14″ tall, 2-sided and include carry handles for ease in turning over the mattresses.
They are also excellent for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combo sleepers (individuals 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 foam or latex will provide cushioning support for pressure points.
You can sleep cool on these mattresses because the materials that they are made out of are known for their cooling qualities.
THE IDLE HYBRID
1 ″ Quilted Foam Cover— Contouring foam is woven into the upper layer which gives it softness.
1 ″ Response Foam— This layer is developed with aerated foam which supplies cooling and bounce.
2 ″ Cooling Buoyancy Foam— Made without visco elastic chemicals to stay cooler than memory foam and offers far better pressure relief for places like hips and back.
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.
1 ″ Response Foam— explained above.
1 ″ Quilted Foam Cover— described above.
The Thermocool fabric cover will help keep regulate the temperature, so you will sleep comfortably.
IDLE LATEX HYBRID
This mattress comes with a choice of either Talalay or Dunlop latex.
Cover— The all cotton cover actually has a 1″ layer of natural wool woven into it to supply comfort and additional softness.
3 ″ Gel Buoyancy Foam— Talalay or 100% Natural Dunlop Latex layers provides cooling and bounce to the mattress as well as giving 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 springs that act 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.
3 ″ Gel Buoyancy Foam— described above.
1 ″ Top— described above.
The cover of the Idle latex hybrid is made of organic cotton and wool which are both breathable fibers and aid with airflow and cooling.Idle Mattress Negatives
Latex tends to sleep very cool because 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 environmentally friendly mattress.
What is the firmness of the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses come in 2 firmness selections: Medium and Luxury Firm.
You have the choice of getting 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 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 provide the best edge support whether you are resting on the edge or sleeping near it.
MOTION TRANSFER
Despite the fact that there is some bounce with the Idle, there is a very small amount of motion transfer. The separately wrapped coils isolate movement far better than conventional inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the bed-in-a-box category this one might be a good option if you sleep with a partner or a pet so your sleep will not be disturbed by their motion.
