What is a hybrid mattress?

A hybrid mattress combines an innerspring coil support system with foam comfort layers (memory foam, latex, or polyfoam), offering the support of coils with the pressure relief of foam.

Are hybrid mattresses better than foam?

Hybrids offer better airflow, edge support, and responsiveness than all-foam mattresses. However, all-foam models often excel at motion isolation and pressure relief.

How long do hybrid mattresses last?

Quality hybrid mattresses typically last 8-10 years. The coil systems tend to outlast the foam layers, so durability depends primarily on foam quality.
