Idle has actually created a mattress with a distinct design.Idle Mattress Versus
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 concept that used to be typical for lots of conventional innerspring mattresses till the costs got too expensive to produce them. Then mattress brands stopped offering the ones you might flip and chose the less expensive to manufacture one-sided versions.
In a daring move, Idle Sleep has revived the flippable dual sided mattress.
This distinct style 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 specifically helpful when it comes to couples where one partner is bigger than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress OverviewIdle Mattress Versus
All Idle mattresses are hand made in Colorado Springs, CO ever since 2017.
Idle has an extremely generous sleep trial duration of 18 months which is about 540 days. If at anytime within the 18 month trial you decide 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?
Both the Idle Hybrid and the Idle Latex Hybrid are made with Certipur certified foams which means that they consist of no PBDE’s, ozone depleters or TDCPP.
They are both 14″ tall, 2-sided and include handgrips for ease in flipping over the mattresses.
They are also ideal for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combination sleepers (people that rotate between positions during the night.)
People with back pain may find that a hybrid mattress provides them some relief since the springs will provide support for your spine while the latex or foam will give cushioning support to pressure points.
You can sleep cool on these mattresses because the fabrics that they are made with are known for their cooling properties.

6 ″ Pocketed Coils— This layer has high quality steel pocketed innerspring springs that serve as the core support of the mattress.

1 ″ Top— explained above.
This mattress is made with 100% organic cotton, wool and natural latex which are fabrics that are known for their cooling qualities.Idle Mattress Versus
Latex tends to sleep very cool due to the fact that it is aerated and won’t trap heat the way a traditional memory foam mattress does.
Rather than using glue to hold the mattress layers together, Idle Sleep uses button tufting which is an eco-friendly method.
How firm is the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses come 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.
Larger people will find the Luxury Firm more supportive.
EDGE SUPPORT
This is a measure of how firm the bed is around its perimeter.
The coils on the Idle Sleep mattresses go right to the edge of the mattresses to supply the very best edge support whether you are resting on the edge or sleeping near it.
MOTION TRANSFER
Although there is some bounce with the Idle, there is a minimum amount of motion transfer. The individually wrapped coils isolate motion better than standard inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the mattress-in-a-box class this one may be an excellent choice if you sleep with a partner or a pet so your sleep will not be impacted by their motion.
