Idle Mattress Thickness – Best Flippable Hybrid Brand of the Year

Girl sitting on Idle mattress without sheets with her computer and mug in hand.

Idle has created a mattress with an unique design.Idle Mattress Thickness
Unlike other dual-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 a model that used to be common for many conventional innerspring mattresses till the expenses got expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped selling the ones you could flip and opted for the cheaper to produce one-sided variations.

Thanks to Idle Sleep, the 2 sided flippable mattress is back.

This distinct style makes it possible for you to turn the Idle over regularly to extend the life of the mattress and avoid any sagging or imprints from occurring. This is specifically helpful in the case of couples where one partner is bigger than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress OverviewIdle Mattress Thickness

Handcrafted in the U.S.A., Idle Sleep has actually been making mattresses ever since 2017.

Idle has a really generous sleep trial duration of 18 months which is about 540 days. If at anytime within that trial duration you choose Idle is not the ideal mattress for you, they will coordinate a return with you or donation and refund 100% of your purchase cost. Idle’s trial is the longest in the market– about 540 nights!

How is the Idle Hybrid Mattress Constructed?

Idle has 2 models that are made with Certipur certified foams which means that they contain no PBDE’s, ozone depleters or TDCPP.

They are both 14″ high, 2-sided and feature carry handles for ease in flipping over the mattresses.

They are also well-suited for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combination sleepers (people that turn between positions during the night.)

People with back pain may certainly find that a hybrid mattress provides them some relief from pain because the springs will support your back while the foam or latex will provide cushioning support for pressure points.

Both are constructed of fabrics which are developed 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 offers it softness.

1 ″ Response Foam— This layer is developed with aerated foam which offers cooling and bounce.

2 ″ Cooling Buoyancy Foam— Made without visco elastic chemicals to stay cooler than memory foam and offers better pressure relief for places like back and hips.

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.

The cover of the Idle Hybrid is made with Thermocool which is a material that helps keep you cool when you’re hot and warm when you are cool.

IDLE LATEX HYBRID

You can order this hybrid with Dunlop or Talalay latex.

Cover— The natural organic cotton cover actually has a 1-inch layer of natural wool woven into it to offer comfort and added softness.

3 ″ Gel Buoyancy Foam— Talalay or 100% Natural Dunlop Latex layers offers cooling and bounce to the mattress along with offering it more firmness 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 serve as the core support of the mattress.
They go all the way to the edge of the mattress for maximum support from edge to edge.

The cover of the Idle latex hybrid is made from natural cotton and wool which are both breathable materials and assist with air flow and cooling.Idle Mattress Thickness

Latex tends to sleep really cool because it is aerated and won’t trap heat the way a traditional memory foam mattress does.

The layers are held together with button tufting rather than glue to make this a truly natural mattress.

How firm is the Idle?

The Idle Sleep mattresses can be found in 2 firmness options: Medium and Luxury Firm.

You have the choice of deciding upon 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 find 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 provide the very best edge support whether you are sitting on the edge or sleeping near it.

MOTION TRANSFER

There is not much motion transfer despite the fact that these mattresses do have some bounce. The separately enclosed coils isolate movement better than conventional inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the mattress-in-a-box classification this one may be an excellent option if you sleep with a partner or a pet so your sleep won’t be affected by their movement.
