What is a hybrid mattress?
A hybrid mattress blends two or more sleep technologies, typically a supportive spring base with a top layer of memory foam. The springs provide structure, bounce and breathability, while the memory foam contours to your body to reduce pressure points and absorb movement.
It’s the ideal choice if you want the comfort of foam without sacrificing the responsive feel of a traditional mattress.
Advantages of hybrid mattresses
- Balanced support and comfort – springs offer core support, while foam relieves pressure
- Motion isolation – perfect for couples, as foam reduces movement transfer
- Breathability – many models feature cooling layers or breathable spring structures
- Edge support – reinforced sides help prevent roll-off and improve durability
- Suitable for all sleep styles – side, back or front sleepers all benefit from the dual support system
Some hybrid mattresses also feature extra comfort layers such as gel-infused foam for temperature regulation, or latex for added bounce and durability.

Is a hybrid mattress right for you?
A hybrid mattress is a great choice if you’re looking for a balance of support and softness. It’s particularly well-suited to those who experience aches or joint pain but don’t enjoy the deep ‘sinking’ feel of full memory foam. If you share your bed, the motion isolation properties of memory foam help reduce disturbances, while the spring base adds a touch of bounce and encourages airflow for a cooler night’s sleep. Whether you’re upgrading your main bed or furnishing a guest room, a hybrid mattress delivers the ideal mix of comfort, support, and durability.
