The unique style of the Idle Sleep mattress will appeal to a lot of people.Idle Mattress Wiki
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 conventional innerspring mattresses until the expenses got too expensive to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped offering the ones you could flip and went with the more affordable to make one-sided variations.
In a novel move, Idle has actually revived the flippable 2-sided mattress.
This special style makes it possible for you to turn the Idle over regularly to extend the life of the mattress and prevent any sagging or indentations from occurring. This is specifically advantageous when it comes to couples where one partner is heavier than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress OverviewIdle Mattress Wiki
Hand-made in the U.S.A., Idle Sleep has been making mattresses ever since 2017.
You can sleep on 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 choose Idle is not the right 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?
Both the Idle Hybrid and the Idle Latex Hybrid are made with Certipur certified foams which means that they contain no PBDE’s, ozone depleters or TDCPP.
Idle mattresses are 14″ high and smartly made with carry handles attached to the sides which make it easier to flip them.
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 find that a hybrid mattress gives them some relief from pain since the pocketed coils will support your spine while the latex or foam will provide cushioning support for pressure points.
You can sleep cool on these mattresses because the materials that they are made with are known for their cooling properties.
THE IDLE HYBRID
1 ″ Quilted Foam Cover— Contouring foam is woven into the top layer which provides it softness.
1 ″ Response Foam— This layer is designed with aerated foam which supplies cooling and bounce.
2 ″ Cooling Buoyancy Foam— Made without visco elastic chemicals to remain cooler than memory foam and offers better pressure relief for areas like back and hips.
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— explained above.
1 ″ Response Foam— described above.

The cover of the Idle Hybrid is made with Thermocool which is a fabric that helps keep you cool when you’re hot and warm when you are cool.
IDLE LATEX HYBRID
This mattress comes with a choice of either Dunlop or Talalay latex.
Cover— The 100% cotton cover actually has a 1″ layer of natural wool woven into it to provide more comfort and added softness.
3 ″ Gel Buoyancy Foam— 100% Natural Dunlop Latex or Talalay layers supplies cooling and bounce to the mattress as well as offering it more firmness than regular memory foam. The latex is naturally hypoallergenic and has anti-microbial properties, too.
6 ″ Pocketed Coils— This layer has high quality steel pocketed innerspring coils 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.

1 ″ Top— explained above.
This mattress is made with 100% natural cotton, wool and natural latex which are materials that are known for their cooling qualities.Idle Mattress Wiki
Latex tends to sleep really cool since it is aerated and won’t trap heat the way a traditional memory foam mattress does.
The layers are held together with button tufting instead of glue making this a truly natural mattress.
What is the firmness of the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses are available in 2 firmness possibilities: Medium and Luxury Firm.
You have the option of choosing 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 discover the Luxury Firm more supportive.
EDGE SUPPORT
This is a measure of how supportive the bed is around its boundary.
The coils on the Idle Sleep mattresses go right to the edge of the mattresses to offer the very best edge support whether you are resting on the edge or sleeping near it.
MOTION TRANSFER
There is very little motion transfer even though these mattresses do have some bounce. The separately wrapped coils isolate movement better than standard inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the bed-in-a-box class this one may be a great option if you sleep with a spouse or an animal so your sleep won’t be impacted by their movement.
