Hybrid Mattresses Making Huge Leaps Forward

At Arizona Premium Mattress we have noticed a huge increase in sales related to our Pocket Coil with Latex designed hybrid mattresses. I think one of the main reasons people are gravitating to this type of mattress is that it’s more of a “known feel”. In other words, when buying a mattress online you are always taking a risk of it not being what you expected especially since you cannot try it first. Most people are familiar with the feel of a spring-type mattress but as many of you have experienced lately the durability of the foams used in those fall short of expectation. Most spring mattresses were not designed so they could be roll packed and shipped via FedEx or UPS until very recently.

When Leggett and Platt approached us with their newly designed Combi-zone and Caliber Edge springs that can be compressed and rolled it opened up a whole new market for us and many others. Leggett was missing out on the whole internet mattress boom created by the mostly poly foam mattresses like Casper and Tuft and Needle which are easily compressed. Now with these new designs of pocket coil springs they can easily be incorporated into what is commonly referred to as a Hybrid Mattress.

Hybrid mattresses usually consist of a pocket coil spring with a variety of foam layer choices including latex, memory foam, and gel foams. So if you prefer the sinking-in feel of memory foam or gel you can get that on top of a pocket coil spring. If you prefer the natural aspect of latex along with its increased durability over other types of foam you can now get that feel but at a much more affordable cost than the traditional “all latex” mattresses.

Foam mattresses almost always have a firm base foam and then other layers on top. Hybrid spring mattresses are no different, firm spring base and then layers on top. The difference is you get some of the bounce factor that most people are familiar with when choosing a spring base. Plus a spring base will almost always outlast a poly foam base so the increased durability makes it a wiser choice than an all-foam design. All foam mattresses almost always have layers that are glued together making it impossible to change the feel once you receive it whereas many Hybrid spring mattresses come with a zippered cover allowing you to make a change to the layer (s) if it’s not right for you. This fact along with the “known feel” is why I believe the pocket coil hybrid mattresses are becoming so well received and a logical choice for many on a budget over the mainstream “one firmness fits all” foam mattresses.
