Idle has actually developed a mattress with a special style.Idle Mattress Year Review
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 an idea that used to be typical for numerous standard innerspring mattresses until the expenses got too high to produce them. Then mattress companies stopped offering the ones you could turn and chose the more affordable to produce one-sided models.
Thanks to Idle Sleep, the 2-sided flippable mattress is back.
This distinct style enables you to turn the Idle over regularly to extend the life of the mattress and avoid any sagging or indentations from taking place. This is particularly advantageous when it comes to couples where one partner is much heavier than the other.

Idle Hybrid Mattress OverviewIdle Mattress Year Review
All Idle mattresses are hand made in Colorado Springs, CO ever since 2017.

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, TDCPP or ozone depleters.
They are both 14″ tall, 2-sided and feature handgrips for ease in flipping over the mattresses.
They are likewise well-suited for all sleepers: side, stomach, back and combination sleepers (individuals that turn between positions during the night.)
People with back pain could find that a hybrid mattress gives them some relief from pain because the pocketed coils will support your spine while the foam or latex will provide 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.

The Idle Latex Hybrid is made with 100% organic cotton, wool and natural latex which are fabrics that are known for their cooling qualities.Idle Mattress Year Review
Latex tends to sleep very cool because it is aerated and will not trap heat the in the same way a traditional memory foam mattress does.
The layers are held together with button tufting rather than glue to make this a truly environmentally friendly mattress.
What is the firmness of the Idle?
The Idle Sleep mattresses come in 2 firmness choices: 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 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 sitting on the edge or sleeping near it.
MOTION TRANSFER
Even though there is some bounce with the Idle, there is a minimum quantity of motion transfer. The individually enclosed coils isolate movement much better than traditional inner springs. Compared to other hybrids in the mattress-in-a-box category this one might be a good option if you sleep with a significant other or a pet so your sleep will not be impacted by their motion.
