Idle has produced a mattress with an unique design.Idle Mattress Set Up Time
Unlike other dual-sided bed-in-the-box mattresses which have a different firmness on each side, Idle produced their mattresses with the SAME firmness on both sides.
This was a concept that used to be typical for many traditional innerspring mattresses until the expenses got too expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped selling the ones you could turn and opted for the more affordable to manufacture one-sided versions.
Thanks to Idle Sleep, the 2-sided flippable mattress is back.
This unique design allows you to turn the Idle over occasionally to extend the life of the mattress and avoid any sagging or indentations from taking place. This is particularly useful in the case of couples where one partner is larger than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress OverviewIdle Mattress Set Up Time
The company, 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 complete 18 months to choose if Idle is right for you. If at anytime within that trial period you decide Idle is not the right mattress for you, they will coordinate a return or donation and refund 100% of your purchase price.

How is the Idle Hybrid Constructed?
Idle has two models that are made with Certipur certified foams which guarantees that they contain no PBDE’s, ozone depleters or TDCPP.
They are both 14″ tall, 2-sided and include handgrips for ease in handling the mattresses.
They are also suitable for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combo sleepers (people that rotate between positions throughout the night.)
People with back pain may certainly find that a hybrid mattress provides them some relief from pain since the springs will provide support for your spine while the foam or latex will give cushioning support to pressure points.
Both are constructed of materials that are produced to help you sleep cool and get a good nights rest.

Latex tends to sleep extremely cool because it is aerated and won’t trap heat the way a standard memory foam mattress does.
Instead of using glue to keep the mattress layers together, Idle Sleep uses button tufting which is a natural method.
What is the firmness of the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses are available in 2 firmness options: 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.
Heavier people will discover the Luxury Firm more supportive.

The coils on the Idle Sleep mattresses go right to the edge of the mattresses to supply the best edge support whether you are resting on the edge or sleeping near it.
