Mattress Brands Tested To Date
Each best list is put through a customized performance analysis with specialized consideration given to our objective & data-driven performance tests. In addition, we consider mattress type, design, materials, value, price, and more.
For our Best Hybrid Mattress list, we based our selections on the best-scoring mattresses, according to our battery of testing and formulaic-driven scoring.
Our tests analyze performance across 8 critical factors, including cooling, motion transfer, response time, edge support, sex, pressure relief, off-gassing, and company. In addition, we also test sinkage and bounce (though these are not scoring factors).
Our tests include objective and quantifiable data whenever possible. In addition, we use subjective assessment supported by data to round out our testing process.
Our scores are based on mathematical formulas and equations that utilize inputs from our data-driven testing.
In choosing the best hybrid mattresses, we looked at the totality of all of our tests, scores, data, and reviews to date. We analyzed this data alongside our established best mattress framework here.
When selecting the best hybrid mattress, we’re looking at a combination of mattress design, overall scoring performance, firmness, and US availability.
To be included within this best-of list all mattresses:
- Had to be classified as a hybrid design.
- Had to have a firmness between 4-7 out of 10, where 10 is the most firm. This ranges from soft to slightly firm and covers a wide range of sleeper preferences.
- Had to have a performance of 9.24 or higher
- Had to be available within the USA
- Latex and latex hybrid mattresses were limited to the top 2 picks by score. Latex has a polarizing feel that some love and some hate. It’s a far more polarizing feel than poly foam or memory foam. See our best latex mattresses list for more.

Winkbed Mattress
Best For
- Exceptional cooling performance
- Fantastic edge support with only 2.25″ sinkage when seated
- 5.0″ comfort layer provides outstanding pressure relief
Considerations
- 14″ profile may not be great for a low-profile aesthetic
- Deep sinkage of 2.38″
- Returns are free, but exchanges cost $49
Our Verdict
The WinkBed is a hybrid mattress with a 5.0″ comfort layer of gel foam, poly foam, and support foam, paired with a pocketed coil base. It has a Euro cover, which gives the mattress a luxury feel, and is the best hybrid we’ve tested to date (comparing 370+ mattresses tested).
This mattress has deep sinkage, which is great if you love more hug around the body. Bounce levels are moderate (9.91″), which is just slightly more than the average.
Aside from the performance, one of the biggest advantages of the Winkbed is that it comes in three firmness levels. It has a softer version (4 out of 10), a luxury firm (with a medium-firm feel, 6 out of 10), and a firmer version (7 out of 10). This provides a wide variety of firmnesses and makes it easier to suit the preferences of a wider range of sleepers.
In our performance scores, the Winkbed scores a 9.79, ranking in the top 1% of all mattresses tested to date. This score also earns it the title of #1 best hybrid mattress.
A queen Winkbed is $1,799, which is 2% less than the average hybrid (a difference of $26). Given its low price and high performance, the Winkbed is an amazingly good value mattress.

Leesa Sapira
Best For
- Exceptional pressure relief, especially for an 11″ mattress
- Low levels of motion transfer, 47% less than average
- Outstanding cooling performance
Considerations
- Sitting edge support is lacking, 6.25″ of sinkage
- Very high levels of bounce may not be ideal for all sleepers
- Priced 5% more than the average hybrid
Our Verdict
The Leesa Sapira has an overall thickness of 11″ and contains a mix of various foam types as well as a coil support base. Using a blend of different foams and coils gives the mattress a balanced feel.
Sinkage levels are moderate and bounce levels are very high, 33% more bounce than the average mattress. For sleepers looking for an engaging mattress without excessively deep contour and hug, the Sapira is a nice pick. Sapira uses a thin, non-quilted cover, which creates more direct engagement with the foam layers.
This mattress is available in a single firmness, 6 out of 10, which gives the Sapira a medium-firm feel.
In our performance tests, the Leesa Sapira earns an overall score of 9.47, ranking within the top 1% of all mattresses tested to date.
This mattress costs $1,599 for a queen, which is 5% more expensive than the average hybrid, and an increase of only $71.

Helix Midnight Luxe
Best For
- Incredible cooling performance despite dense memory foam
- Thick, quality memory foam creates fantastic pressure relief
- Edge support is extremely robust
Considerations
- Memory foam creates lower bounce
- Lackluster sex performance
- Price tag is higher than average
Our Verdict
The Helix Midnight Luxe is a 14″ hybrid mattress made up of poly foam, memory foam, and a pocketed coil base. The plush 2.0″ quilted cover is thicker than what you’ll see with the standard Helix Midnight, but it’s also a bit more expensive. You can also upgrade to an advanced cooling cover (GlacioTex) for $199.
The Helix Midnight Luxe is available in a single firmness level — medium-firm with a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, where 10 is the most firm.
This mattress has moderate sinkage and low levels of bounce. This mattress creates a surface that allows for a high degree of contour that slowly envelops your body.
In our performance tests, this mattress earned an overall score of 9.43, ranking the mattress in the 1% of all mattresses tested to date.
The Helix Midnight Luxe is $1,899 for a queen-sized mattress, which is 24% more expensive than average hybrid. Opting for the cooling cover does increase the cost up to just slightly above $2K, but what you gain in cooling may certainly be worth the added price.

Saatva Latex Hybrid
Best For
- Extremely fast material response time
- Extremely low levels of motion transfer, 64% less than average
- Exceptional edge support, only 3.0″ of sinkage
- Ships uncompressed with full service delivery (and disposal of your old mattress)
Considerations
- 14% more expensive than the average latex hybrid
- Minimal sinkage may not be ideal for side sleepers
- $99 cost to return the mattress
Our Verdict
The Saatva Latex Hybrid is the best-performing latex hybrid we’ve tested to date. It is 12″ thick with a 3.0″ latex comfort layer and an 8.0″ coil support base. A 1.0″ quilted cover sits atop this mattress and gives the Saatva a luxurious feel.
This mattress has minimal sinkage and high levels of bounce (10.82″). This is pretty typical for latex foam, as it tends to have a more active feel without creating a high degree of contour.
The Saatva Latex Hybrid is available in one firmness, 6.5 out of 10, giving the mattress a medium-firm to slightly firm feel.
When we tested this mattress, the Saatva earned an overall score of 9.42, ranking in the top 1% of all latex hybrids, and the top 1% of all mattresses tested (370+ tested).
For the price, the Saatva Latex Hybrid is $2,199 for a queen, which is 14% more expensive than the average latex hybrid. This will cost you $264 more than average, but given the better performance, you’re getting a better-than-average latex hybrid.

Birch Latex Hybrid
Best For
- Outstanding cooling performance with 2.0″ perforated latex
- Extremely fast material response time
- Fantastic sex performance score, great for couples
Considerations
- A slightly firm feel may not be ideal for lighter-weighted sleepers
- Extremely high levels of bounce, 69% higher than average
- 4.5″ sinkage when seated at the edge
Our Verdict
The Birch is a latex hybrid with an overall thickness of 11″. It has a 1.0″ quilted cover, a 2.0″ perforated organic latex comfort layer, and an 8.0″ pocketed coil base.
This mattress has extremely high levels of bounce, 69% bouncier than the average mattress. Sinkage levels are moderate, which helps to balance out the feel a bit, but this is still a very active feeling mattress.
Birch comes in a single firmness, 7 out of 10, which gives the mattress a slightly firm feel. If you’re specifically looking for a softer feel, you might want to opt for the Birch Luxe. The Luxe has a medium-firm feel, rated at a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale.
In our performance tests, the Birch earned an overall score of 9.35, ranking it within the top 3% of all mattresses tested and one of the best latex hybrid mattresses we’ve tested to date.
The price for the Birch is $1,499 for a queen, which is 23% less than the average latex hybrid, a savings of $435 compared to the average.

Glacier Apex
Best For
- Excelptionally good value hybrid at $1,399 (Queen)
- Fantastic pressure relief, 6.25″ comfort layer thickness
- Very low levels of motion transfer, great for sensitive sleepers
Considerations
- Low bounce makes this mattress less ideal for sex
- 14″ thick may not work for all sleepers
- Slightly slower material response time
Our Verdict
The Glacier Apex is a 14.25″ memory foam hybrid mattress made of memory foam, transitional foam, and a pocketed coil base. It has a 1.25″ Euro cover and convenient handles on the sides of the mattress.
The Glacier Apex is available in a single firmness level — medium-firm.
This mattress has moderate sinkage and low levels of bounce. If you want a memory foam feel, but also want to retain fast material responsiveness, the Apex is a great option.
In our performance tests, this mattress earned an overall score of 9.27, ranking the mattress in the top 6% of all mattresses tested to date. Looking exclusively at memory foam hybrids, that performance rank rises to the top 1%. Glacier Apex is the #1 ranked memory foam hybrid we’ve tested to date.
The Glacier Apex is $1,399 for a queen-sized mattress, which is 14% less than the average memory foam hybrid, a savings of $228. If you’re on a budget, but still want well-rounded performance, the Apex is a solid pick.

Bear Elite Hybrid
Best For
- Outstanding cooling, 10/10 with the standard cover, but also has an optional cooling cover (Celliant-infused)
- Excellent edge support, 24% less sinkage than average
- 10/10 pressure relief, great for all sleeping positions but especially good for side sleepers
Considerations
- Very deep sinkage may not be ideal for all back or stomach sleepers
- More motion transfer than average
- 120-night trial is slightly shorter than average
Our Verdict
The Bear Elite Hybrid is a 14″ hybrid with a coil support base, memory foam comfort layer, transitional poly foam layer, and a plush quilted cover. It is a fantastic option for a balanced hybrid feel.
The Bear Elite Hybrid is available in three firmness levels—Soft (which we’re estimating it to be a Medium, 5 out of 10), Medium (6 out of 10), or Firm (estimated to be a Slightly Firm, 7 out of 10). This range makes it a solid pick for a wider range of sleepers.
In our tests of the Medium version, we found that this mattress has very deep sinkage and high levels of bounce. The higher bounce keeps the mattress feeling responsive and prevents any feelings of being stuck, while the deeper sinkage provides good pressure relief.
In our performance tests, the Bear Elite earned an overall performance score of 9.26, ranking it in the top 6% of all mattresses tested to date.
This mattress is priced at $1,578 for a queen, which is only 3% more expensive than the average hybrid. Even though the price is slightly higher than average, it’s still a solid buy worth considering.

Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid
Best For
- Low levels of motion transfer (4.46 m/s²), 49% less than average
- Excellent edge support for both sitting (3.75″) and lying
- Excellent cooling, especially for memory foam
Considerations
- Material resopnse time is reasonably quick, but not instant
- Sex performance is good, but not incredible
- Slightly slower off-gassing than average (8 days compared to 7-day average)
Our Verdict
The Amerisleep AS3 Hybrid is a 12″ memory foam hybrid that contains a thick 3.0″ memory foam comfort layer paired with an 8.0″ pocketed coil support base.
This mattress has deep sinkage and moderate levels of bounce. It is considered to be a “modern memory foam” since it retains many properties of classic memory foam, but offers better cooling and faster material response than traditional memory foam.
The AS3 Hybrid is available in a single firmness, 5 out of 10, giving the mattress a medium feel. If you’re looking for something softer, go with the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid or for something firmer go with the Amerisleep AS2.
In our performance tests, the AS3 Hybrid has an overall score of 9.25, placing this mattress in the top 7% of all mattresses tested to date. If we look exclusively at memory foam hybrids, that score places it within the top 4%.
A queen AS3 Hybrid is $1,449, making it 11% less expensive than the average memory foam hybrid. Considering its lower than average price, this makes the AS3 Hybrid an exceptional value.

How Do We Test Hybrid Mattresses
The best hybrid mattresses maintain an overall performance score of 9.24 or higher and include a range of prices, mattress types, firmnesses, and feels. This overall score is developed using our battery of 8 performance tests.
Our tests analyze performance across 8 critical factors including cooling, motion transfer, response time, edge support, sex, pressure relief, off-gassing, and company. In addition, we also test sinkage and bounce (though these are not scoring factors).
Our tests include objective and quantifiable data whenever possible. In addition, we use subjective assessment supported by data to round out our testing process.
Our scores are based on mathematical formulas and equations that utilize inputs from our data-driven testing.
You can see our complete testing and scoring process here.
How do we pick the best hybrid winners?
In choosing the best hybrid mattresses, we looked at the totality of all of our tests, scores, data, and reviews to date. We analyzed this data alongside our established best mattress framework here.
For this page, we considered latex hybrids, memory foam hybrids, and hybrids (which is a non-specific hybrid type as they use a combination of foam types or foams without a distinctly latex or memory foam feel).
Each of these hybrid mattress types has a different feel, pros, cons, and yet maintains a hybrid construction of foam and coils together.
How did we choose the hybrid mattresses we tested?
We’ve personally tested 208 different hybrid mattresses to date. Among the hybrids tested, 146 are hybrids, 30 are latex hybrids, and 32 are memory foam hybrids.
From this collection of hybrids, we select the winners featured on this list.
To be included on this list the mattresses needed to meet the following criteria:
- Mattress must be a hybrid (hybrid = thick foam comfort layer + coils). We considered latex hybrids, memory foam hybrids, and regular hybrids (that don’t have a strong latex or memory foam feel).
- Mattress must have an overall performance score at or above 9.24
- Mattress must be available for purchase within the USA
What is a hybrid mattress?
A hybrid mattress has a combination of a thick foam comfort layer and a support layer of coils (typically pocketed coils). The comfort layer can be a mix of material types, commonly poly foam, memory foam, or latex foam.
They can have a range of cover options as well, from breathable thin covers to plush quilted covers with luxury tufting details, euro style pillow tops, or traditional pillow tops.
The support system of a hybrid typically consists of pocketed coils, but it can also be a more traditional innerspring unit or other continuous coil system.
Different Types of Hybrid Mattresses
Hybrids can come in a variety of material combinations, as mentioned above. The three most common types of hybrids include:
1. Hybrid
Hybrid mattresses commonly use a combination of materials within the comfort layer:
- memory foam + poly foam
- latex foam + poly foam
- memory foam + latex foam
- one or more layers of poly foam
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Score | 8.64 | 8.53 |
| Cooling | 8.8 | 8.6 |
| Motion Transfer | 8.2 | 8.2 |
| Response Time | 8.6 | 8.8 |
| Edge Support | 8.9 | 8.7 |
| Sex | 8.5 | 8.2 |
| Pressure Relief | 8.8 | 8.6 |
| Off-Gassing | 8.0 | 8.0 |
| Company | 8.9 | 8.8 |
| Sinkage | 2.32″ | 2.22″ |
| Bounce | 9.47″ | 8.80″ |
Mixing poly foam in with other foam types tends to give the mattress a more balanced feel compared to the feel of memory foam hybrids or latex hybrids.
If you’re unsure which hybrid type you’ll like best then going with a standard hybrid is typically the best choice. These hybrids will have the most balanced, even, and non-polarizing feel. They are a good fit for a majority of sleepers.
2. Memory Foam Hybrid
Memory foam hybrids have a top layer of memory foam for the comfort layer or a combination of memory foam and a poly foam. The support system is still a pocketed coil unit or otherwise spring-based support.
| Testing Factors | Memory Foam Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Score | 8.79 | 8.53 |
| Cooling | 9.2 | 8.6 |
| Motion Transfer | 8.5 | 8.2 |
| Response Time | 8.3 | 8.8 |
| Edge Support | 8.7 | 8.7 |
| Sex | 7.9 | 8.2 |
| Pressure Relief | 9.5 | 8.6 |
| Off-Gassing | 7.7 | 8.0 |
| Company | 9.0 | 8.8 |
| Sinkage | 2.29″ | 2.22″ |
| Bounce | 7.89″ | 8.80″ |
While memory foam hybrids sometimes contain poly foam layers also, a memory foam hybrid will always create a more noted memory foam feel.
The type of mattress generally has a slower material response time, deeper contour, lower motion transfer, more body hug, and fantastic pressure relief performance.
For more information, check out our Best Memory Foam Mattress guide.
3. Latex Hybrid
Latex hybrids have a comfort latex made primarily of natural latex. These layers are oftentimes perforated (IE, they have holes in them), providing improved breathability.
| Testing Factors | Latex Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Score | 8.82 | 8.53 |
| Cooling | 9.0 | 8.6 |
| Motion Transfer | 7.5 | 8.2 |
| Response Time | 9.9 | 8.8 |
| Edge Support | 8.8 | 8.7 |
| Sex | 9.1 | 8.2 |
| Pressure Relief | 9.1 | 8.6 |
| Off-Gassing | 8.0 | 8.0 |
| Company | 8.9 | 8.8 |
| Sinkage | 2.49″ | 2.22″ |
| Bounce | 11.53″ | 8.80″ |
Latex creates a more generalized body contouring hug, has an incredibly fast material responsiveness, higher bounce, more motion transfer, great sex performance, and lower off-gassing.
The most common latex is Talalay latex or Dunlop latex, both of which are typically derived from the para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Like the other hybrids, latex hybrids still have a pocketed coil base or other spring-based system.

Should You Buy A Hybrid?
I would recommend a hybrid mattress for sleepers who are looking for the following:
1. Higher Overall Performance
Hybrids have an overall performance score of 8.64 compared to the average performance score of 8.53. Looking at our top 10 mattresses by score we see that only 1 (the Zenhaven) is an all foam mattress. 8 of the top 10 are hybrids and 1 is a coil.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Memory Foam Hybrids | Latex Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall Score | 8.64 | 8.79 | 8.82 | 8.53 |
Whether it’s a standard hybrid, memory foam hybrid, or latex hybrid, hybrids dominate the list of top performers and represent the best of the best in the modern mattress market.
2. Better Edge Support
Hybrids have an average edge support score of 8.9, which is modestly better than the average score of 8.7 (for all mattress types). Great edge support on hybrids is largely a product of the coil-based support system.
Latex hybrids were also above average with an 8.8 score, while memory foam hybrids earned a score on par with the average among all types.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Memory Foam Hybrids | Latex Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Edge Support Score | 8.9 | 8.7 | 8.8 | 8.7 |
| Edge Sinkage | 3.76″ | 4.15″ | 3.98″ | 3.93″ |
3. Better Sex Performance
The same coils that improve edge support also enhance bounce. Hybrids have an average bounce level of 9.47″, which is 8% bouncier than the average mattress.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Memory Foam Hybrids | Latex Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sex | 8.5 | 7.9 | 9.1 | 8.2 |
| Bounce | 9.47″ | 7.89″ | 11.53″ | 8.80″ |
When we combine great edge support with great bounce, we get great sex performance.
Within the list of mattresses that earned a sex score of 9.9 or 10, all but one of those mattresses are some type of hybrid. (latex hybrid, plus-sized hybrid, specialty hybrid, etc.) The one non-hybrid is a coil mattress.
4. Better Pressure Relief
The combination of robust foam comfort layers, high-performance foams, higher-quality foams, and supportive coil bases provides exceptional pressure relief.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Memory Foam Hybrids | Latex Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pressure Relief | 8.8 | 9.5 | 9.1 | 8.6 |
| Comfort Layer Thickness | 4.29″ | 4.73″ | 3.53″ | 4.26″ |
As a sleeper lies on a hybrid mattress, the foam conforms and hugs the body, easing pressure points as their weight engages with the support layers below.
Looking exclusively at mattresses that earned a 10/10 pressure relief score, 72% of those are hybrid mattress (considering all sub-types, including plus-sized hybrids).
On average, hybrid mattresses (all sub-types) are 12.74″ tall, which is 0.55″ taller than the average of 12.19″ (all mattress types). That extra material makes a notable improvement to pressure relief and comfort.
5. Slightly Deeper Sinkage
Hybrid mattresses have sinkage levels that are very near average. The one exception is latex hybrids, which have slightly deeper sinkage, among the models we’ve tested.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Memory Foam Hybrids | Latex Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sinkage | 2.32″ | 2.29″ | 2.49″ | 2.22″ |
That being said, there are always hybrids that break the mold with either minimal sinkage or very deep sinkage.
Minimal Sinkage
Deep Sinkage
Below you can see the most common sinkage depths among the hybrid mattresses we’ve tested.
| Sinkage Feel | Number of Hybrids Tested |
|---|---|
| Extremely Minimal | 0 |
| Very Minimal | 3 |
| Minimal | 16 |
| Moderate | 46 |
| Deep | 42 |
| Very Deep | 21 |
| Extremely Deep | 7 |
You can use our mattress finder tool here for additional search and filter options.
6. Slightly More Bounce
Most hybrid mattresses have more bounce than average of 8.80″, based on all of our tests to date. Memory foam hybrids are the one hybrid sub-type that has less bounce than average.
Latex hybrids have the most bounce among all types of hybrids. Latex has considerably more bounce than average, which makes them better for sex and easier to move around.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Memory Foam Hybrids | Latex Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bounce | 9.47″ | 7.89″ | 11.53″ | 8.80″ |
Below you can see how hybrid mattresses compare at different tiers of bounce. While there are some hybrids will lower bounce, most are with the moderate bounce tier.
| Bounce Feel | Number of Hybrids Tested |
|---|---|
| Extremely High | 6 |
| Very High | 12 |
| High | 29 |
| Moderate | 50 |
| Low | 33 |
| Very Low | 5 |
| Extremely Low | 0 |
For hybrids with the least amount of bounce, check out memory foam hybrids. The viscoelasticity in the memory foam really helps to limit motion and restrict bounce levels.
Who Should Not Buy A Hybrid?
I would not recommend a hybrid for sleepers who are deeply concerned with the following issues:
1. Higher Average Price
While hybrids are cheaper than some mattress types, they are also more expensive than many other types. Hybrids have a higher average mattress price than coil mattresses, foam, or memory foam mattresses.
The average price of a hybrid mattress is $1,529.
| Mattress Type | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Coil | $976 |
| Foam | $1,143 |
| Memory Foam | $1,032 |
| Hybrid | $1,529 |
| Memory Foam Hybrid | $1,628 |
| Latex Hybrid | $1,981 |
| Plus-Sized | $1,882 |
| Latex Foam | $1,648 |
| Adjustable | $2,812 |
| Specialty | $2,393 |
If you don’t need the extra support or higher performance, opting for an all-foam mattress can save you some cash compared to a hybrid mattress. Here is our list of the best affordable mattresses under $1,000.
2. Slightly More Motion Transfer
Hybrids have an average ge motion transfer level. Memory foam hybrids have slightly less motion transfer than average and latex hybrids have slightly higher levels of motion transfer than average.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Memory Foam Hybrids | Latex Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Motion Transfer Score | 8.2 | 8.5 | 7.5 | 8.2 |
That being said, like the other factors, there are some outstanding hybrids that break the mold and maintain low levels of motion transfer (ex. Winkbed, Leesa Sapira). More broadly speaking, memory foam hybrids have less motion transfer than average.
3. Slightly Slower Off-Gassing
The average off-gassing period for a hybrid mattress is 7.0 days, which is the same as the average off-gassing period among all mattress types.
Memory foam hybrids, on average, take slightly longer than average to off-gas, taking 8.0 days to lose their smell.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Memory Foam Hybrids | Latex Hybrids | Average Mattress |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Off-Gassing Score | 8.0 | 7.7 | 8.0 | 8.0 |
For hybrids with virtually no smell, opt for the Winkbed or Saatva RX, or go with a latex hybrid. While latex hybrids do still have a strong smell, the odors they are releasing aren’t typically as intense as memory foam or poly foam hybrids will be.
4. You Want A Dramatic Body Contouring Hug
A hybrid mattress just is not going to have the dramatic hug and contour of a memory foam mattress. This is neither a good nor bad thing, but a hybrid may be disappointing if you’re specifically looking for that in a mattress.
Do you like sinking in and feeling the hug of a mattress? Do you want foam layers to dramatically contour every curve? If you’re specifically looking for that kind of feel, a hybrid might not be the right choice for you.
For a more dramatic contour with the support of coils, you could check out our top memory foam hybrid reviews. A memory foam hybrid can provide more of this feel, but even a memory foam hybrid will typically not be as dramatic as a 100% foam memory foam mattress.
How Much Does A Hybrid Mattress Cost?
The average price for a hybrid is $1,529 for a queen mattress.
The average price for a memory foam hybrid mattress is $1,628 for a queen mattress.
The average price for a latex hybrid mattress is $1,981 for a queen mattress.
| Mattress Type | Average Price | Average Score |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid | $1,529 | 8.64 |
| Memory Foam Hybrid | $1,628 | 8.79 |
| Latex Hybrid | $1,981 | 8.82 |
If you’re in the market for a good hybrid, it’s a good idea to plan to spend at least $1,000.
Based on all of our tests to date, only 21 hybrid mattresses with above-average performance have a price that is below $1000 for a queen-sized mattress.
Can you find a hybrid for less? Absolutely. Looking at all hybrids tested, 11 of them have a low price of under $700. But these mattresses are also not high performers and only one model (the Dreamcloud Hybrid) has an above average score.
Cheap hybrids oftentimes use lower quality materials, have thin comfort layers, or other disadvantages like a short trial or poor warranty.
Here is how the price of a hybrid compares to other mattress types.
| Mattress Type | Average Price |
|---|---|
| Coil | $976 |
| Foam | $1,143 |
| Memory Foam | $1,032 |
| Hybrid | $1,529 |
| Memory Foam Hybrid | $1,628 |
| Latex Hybrid | $1,981 |
| Plus-Sized | $1,882 |
| Latex Foam | $1,648 |
| Adjustable | $2,812 |
| Specialty | $2,393 |
Hybrid Mattress Types Comparison
The sections below compare hybrid mattresses to other popular mattress types.
Hybrid vs. Memory Foam
Compared to memory foam mattresses, hybrids have a higher performance score by 0.52 points. Hybrids also have a higher price tag, costing $497 more than the average memory foam mattress.
The Feel Factor: Memory foam mattresses have more contour and hug, while hybrids generally have a more balanced feel and faster response time.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Memory Foam |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Score | 8.64 | 8.12 |
| Cooling | 8.8 | 7.9 |
| Motion Transfer | 8.2 | 8.6 |
| Response Time | 8.6 | 7.9 |
| Edge Support | 8.9 | 8.1 |
| Sex | 8.5 | 7.1 |
| Pressure Relief | 8.8 | 8.3 |
| Off-Gassing | 8.0 | 7.8 |
| Company | 8.9 | 8.9 |
| Sinkage | 2.32″ | 2.13″ |
| Bounce | 9.47″ | 6.17″ |
If you want a mattress that contours to your unique shape and you’re not worried about feeling stuck, opt for traditional memory foam. For the feel of memory foam paired with the advantages of a hybrid, check out memory foam hybrids.
A memory foam hybrid will have the top comfort layer of memory foam with a supportive and responsive coil base of a hybrid. Memory foam hybrids will also typically last longer than a traditional memory foam mattress.
Hybrid vs. Latex
Compared to all foam latex mattresses, hybrids have a slightly higher performance score by 0.02 points. But hybrids also have a lower price tag, saving $119 compared to the average foam latex mattress.
The Feel Factor: Latex mattresses have a generalized contour, higher bounce, faster response, more motion transfer, and a more active feel compared to hybrids.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Latex Foam |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Score | 8.64 | 8.62 |
| Cooling | 8.8 | 9.0 |
| Motion Transfer | 8.2 | 7.9 |
| Response Time | 8.6 | 10 |
| Edge Support | 8.9 | 8.4 |
| Sex | 8.5 | 8.3 |
| Pressure Relief | 8.8 | 8.5 |
| Off-Gassing | 8.0 | 8.7 |
| Company | 8.9 | 8.4 |
| Sinkage | 2.32″ | 2.13″ |
| Bounce | 9.47″ | 8.87″ |
Latex foam is generally perforated during the production process, which helps to further improve cooling. For a mattress that has the cooling and feel of latex, but a lower price than all-foam latex, check out latex hybrids.
Hybrid vs. Foam
Compared to all-foam mattresses, hybrids have a higher performance score by 0.13 points. Hybrids also have a higher price tag, $386 more than the average foam mattress.
The Feel Factor: Because the top layers are foam on both of these types, they may have a similar feel, but hybrids generally have better pressure relief and are more supportive, and often have the capacity to support heavier sleepers without sagging.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Foam |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Score | 8.64 | 8.51 |
| Cooling | 8.8 | 8.2 |
| Motion Transfer | 8.2 | 8.6 |
| Response Time | 8.6 | 9.3 |
| Edge Support | 8.9 | 8.5 |
| Sex | 8.5 | 7.9 |
| Pressure Relief | 8.8 | 8.4 |
| Off-Gassing | 8.0 | 8.3 |
| Company | 8.9 | 9.0 |
| Sinkage | 2.32″ | 1.99″ |
| Bounce | 9.47″ | 8.18″ |
Foam mattresses have the advantage of a lower price tag, but if you are looking for that next level of pressure relief and want better support for the long-haul, hybrids are the better option.
Hybrid vs. Coil
Compared to coil mattresses, hybrids have a higher performance score by 0.81 points. Hybrids also have a higher price tag, $553 more than the average coil mattress.
The Feel Factor: Hybrids will typically have more hug and contour than a coil mattress as well as a more restrained level of bounce.
| Testing Factors | Hybrids | Coil |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Score | 8.64 | 7.83 |
| Cooling | 8.8 | 7.7 |
| Motion Transfer | 8.2 | 7.7 |
| Response Time | 8.6 | 9.0 |
| Edge Support | 8.9 | 8.8 |
| Sex | 8.5 | 8.8 |
| Pressure Relief | 8.8 | 6.4 |
| Off-Gassing | 8.0 | 8.0 |
| Company | 8.9 | 7.9 |
| Sinkage | 2.32″ | 2.14″ |
| Bounce | 9.47″ | 10.55″ |
Coil mattresses usually have some small amount of foam atop the coils, but usually nothing substantial.
Because of this, coil mattresses have less sinkage (2.14″ average) and more bounce (10.55″ average), giving coil mattresses an active feel.
But pressure relief can be lacking on a coil mattress since they typically don’t have as thick of a comfort layer compared to hybrid mattresses.
FAQs
Hybrid mattresses can be expected to last anywhere from 8-12 years depending on material quality and care / maintenance. Latex hybrids typically last longer than other hybrid types.
All mattresses will sag and form body impressions over time and hybrid mattresses are no exception. Higher-end hybrids with denser, thicker, higher-quality foams will sag less and take longer to start sagging. In addition, hybrids with thicker, higher-quality coil systems will sag less and take longer to start sagging. Make sure your hybrid mattress is on a high-performance foundation and follows all other manufacturer guidelines. This will help to further reduce and prevent sagging.
Yes. Most hybrid mattresses can go on a box spring, but usually don’t have to. When paired with a supportive foundation, like a box foundation, bunkie board, slats, platform, or other rigid support, a hybrid can take on a low-profile aesthetic. Always follow your manufacturer’s guidelines on which foundations are approved for your mattress.
