BASIC INFO: Memory Foam Hybrid mattresses combine innerspring bases with memory foam layers (about 2 inches), and the amount of memory foam they contain vary by model.

Overview

Price & Value

Prices of memory foam hybrid mattresses range from $500 to $4000+ due to different materials and manufacturing process.

Lifespan

Memory Foam Hybrid mattresses on average have about a 7-year lifespan which is similar to memory foam mattresses.

Thickness & Performance

According to the different amount of memory foam they contain, memory foam hybrid mattresses can be divided into three types. Hybrids with 1.5 inch or less memory foam tend to perform like innerspring mattresses, hybrids with 3 inches or more of memory foam tend to perform like memory foam mattresses, and hybrids with 1.5 - 3 inches of memory foam perform like the combinations of those two types.

Conforming Ability

Hybrids mattresses with 3 inches or more of memory foam perform better in conforming-to-the-body ability and supportiveness than the other two types.

Motion Isolation

Hybrids mattresses with 3 inches or more of memory foam are superb in motion isolation which means a person's movement will not transfer to the other side of the bed.

Odor & Noise

A few owners report that memory foam hybrid mattress smells like some kind of chemical or musty wood due to the manufacturing process. Memory foam hybrid mattresses tend to be quiet except the spring bases may squeak occasionally.

Large & Small people suitability

People with 200-220 pounds tend to enjoy a superb experience on memory foam mattress while people over 230 pounds may sink in too much.

People under 110 pounds may not benefit so much as heavy people.

Sex Suitability

Hybrids with 3 inches or less memory foam are good for sex because the spring bases will provide some bounce while a thicker memory foam proves to be unsuitable for sex.

Sleeping heat

The sleeping hot problem occasionally happens in summer, and thicker models have a bigger chance of heat trap.

Maintenance    

Most memory foam hybrid mattresses are no-flip. Rotating the mattress about three times a year will help resist sagging.

Warranty

Memory foam hybrid mattresses often cover 5 to 20 years warranty varied by brand and type. Know more at Mattress Warranty: All You Need to Know.
