Idle has actually developed a mattress with a distinct style.Idle Mattress Twin
They have made a mattress with the exact SAME firmness on both sides which helps this mattress stand apart 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 typical for many traditional innerspring mattresses up until the expenses got too high to produce them. Then mattress brands stopped offering the ones you could turn and opted for the cheaper to produce one-sided models.
In a daring move, Idle has brought back the flippable 2-sided mattress.
This unique design makes it possible for you to turn the Idle over occasionally to lengthen the life of the mattress and prevent any drooping or imprints from occurring. This is especially helpful when it comes to couples where one partner is much heavier than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress OverviewIdle Mattress Twin
All Idle mattresses are made by hand in Colorado Springs, CO ever since 2017.
You can try an Idle mattress risk free in your house for a complete 18 months to decide if Idle is comfortable for you. If at anytime within the 18 month trial you choose Idle is not the best 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?
Both the Idle Hybrid and the Idle Latex Hybrid are made with Certipur certified foams which guarantees that they contain no PBDE’s, ozone depleters or TDCPP.
Idle mattresses are 14″ high and created with carry handles attached on the sides which make it simple to handle them.
They are also suitable for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combo sleepers (people that turn between positions during the night.)
The hybrid mattresses are also suggested for people with back pain because the pocketed coils will give your back support while the foam or latex will cushion your pressure points.
Both are constructed of materials that are produced to really help you sleep cool and get a good nights rest.

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

6 ″ Pocketed Coils— This layer has high quality steel pocketed innerspring springs that function 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.
3 ″ Gel Buoyancy Foam— explained above.
1 ″ Top— described above.
The cover of the Idle latex hybrid is made of natural cotton and wool which are both breathable materials and assist with airflow and cooling.Idle Mattress Twin
Latex tends to sleep extremely cool due to the fact that it is aerated and will not trap heat the in the same way a conventional memory foam mattress does.
The layers are held together with button tufting rather than glue making this a truly natural mattress.
What is the firmness of the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses can be found in 2 firmness choices: Medium and Luxury Firm.
You have the choice of picking out 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 movement transfer although these mattresses do have some bounce. The separately wrapped coils isolate motion much better than standard inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the bed-in-a-box class this one may be an excellent option if you sleep with a spouse or a pet so your sleep won’t be disturbed by their motion.
Pros

- Mattresses sleep cool
