Best Hybrid Mattresses for 2022 – CNET [CNET]

View Article on CNET

A hybrid mattress could be the perfect fit for those who love the combination of both the coils and memory foam. They provide the benefits of both the innerspring mattress and memory foam mattress. Hybrid mattresses are increasing in popularity due to their superior comfort, great breathability, lesser motion transfer, sound edge support, and effective temperature regulation. 

Like any other category of mattresses, the firmness level of a hybrid mattress can run the gamut from super-soft and plush to firm enough for a stomach sleeper. The mattress materials can also vary — some are infused with copper, gel or latex hybrid mattress, others have perforated layers that improve airflow and help you sleep more comfortably and some even have a comfort layer. They can also come in many different configurations, from mattresses with a latex hybrid, gel memory foam or foam layer to ones with individually wrapped coils. The best hybrid mattress for you depends on several factors, like your sleeping position, need for motion isolation, your weight and whether or not it provides pressure relief when you’re dealing with pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hybrid mattress?

Like a hybrid car that fuses gas and electric, a hybrid mattress combines pocketed coils with comfy foam to give you a supportive but comfy sleeping surface that’s more comfortable to snuggle up to than the old traditional innerspring mattresses. 

How much do hybrid mattresses cost?

Hybrid mattresses come in a range of different costs. A basic hybrid mattress will cost around $1,300 before discounts, but there are plenty of options under $1,000 if you want a budget hybrid mattress. Of course, there are also luxury hybrid mattresses that cost $1,600 and up. 

Are hybrid mattresses any good?

Yes. A hybrid mattress offers additional support and durability than all-foam mattresses thanks to the steel innersprings or coils in the foundation layer, and more comfort than a traditional innerspring mattress. A foam bed will last you around 6-7 years while a hybrid mattress can last 10-12 years.
