Hi jm1080,
A mattress is only as good as its construction and the quality of the materials inside it and since the major manufacturers don’t disclose this there is no way to make any meaningful assessments about them except to say that they are lower quality and value than other similar mattresses. Hybrid is also a very generic term because all it means is a combination of two materials which is the case with most mattresses. I would need to know what type of hybrid you mean. the choice of materials or the combinations used in a mattress is a preference choice. The key is not whether a mattress is a “hybrid” but testing carefully and objectively for PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) and knowing the quality and durability of the materials in the mattress you buy regardless of the type of mattress and materials that are in it. All materials have good and poor quality versions and knowing the difference between them is part of good mattress research.
As you can read in post #13 here … I would pay little attention to most reviews about mattresses because most of the reviewers have little idea of what they actually purchased other than the brand and model name and don’t provide any information about their body type, sleeping position, or other relevant information. Reading reviews is very different from mattress research.
Yes … all of the better manufacturers and retailers will provide you with the details of what is inside their mattresses so you can make more meaningful quality and value comparisons with other mattresses. Most of them will also be able to provide you with more meaningful information or ways to assess the suitability of the mattresses they sell.
It will be much simpler if you follow the steps I linked earlier one by one. As you can see in post #5 here … better manufacturers don’t need or have major “sales” which are mostly fake and just a marketing method to get you into the store where they can sell you overpriced and lower quality mattresses with a “major sale” story attached to it. Better quality and value mattresses are available every day of the year without “special sales” that are all about marketing and have little to do with value. Creating a false sense of urgency is one of the oldest marketing tricks in the book.
It would also be worth reading post #12 here.
The better options I’m aware of in the Pompano Beach area are listed in post #2 here and post #2 here
