The Benefits Of Using Hybrid Mattresses Instead Of Regular Mattresses

Sleep is often taken for granted. Even though it has many short-term and long-term health benefits, from helping with brain function and keeping emotions in check to reducing disease risk and boosting immunity. If you are not getting the restful night’s sleep you deserve or waking you are up with aches and pains, it is probably time to upgrade your mattress.  

However, this can be daunting, with all the available options and unique terminology. This blog will look at the benefits of using a hybrid mattress instead of a regular mattress to help you. This information will help you narrow down your options and make the right informed choice for you. 

We will start by determining the pros and cons of standard and hybrid mattresses.  

Standard mattress

Memory foam was first designed, in the mid-1960s, for NASA aeroplane seats for its comfort and energy absorbance. In time, it became widely used to create mattresses due to its ability to react to warmth and pressure and mould to the body’s shape. This moulding evenly distributes weight and gives support while sleeping. 

Pros:   

• Lightweight.  
• Moulds to your sleeping position from body pressure and warmth.  
• It returns to its original shape when the pressure is removed. 
• Suitable for side sleepers.  

Cons   

• Due to its density, the foam can trap heat and cause sleepers to overheat.  
• Memory foam can be slow to regain its shape, making changing sleeping positions more difficult.  
• It can sag over time, reducing the support it gives.   

Hybrid mattress  

A hybrid mattress is a clever combination of the best features of a memory foam mattress and a sprung mattress. This combination has created a multiple-layer hybrid of foam and inner springs to give a long-lasting supportive mattress.   

Pros:  

• Hybrid mattresses are breathable, enabling the air to flow through the mattress, which helps prevent waking from overheating.  
• The enclosed springs give continuous support and enable the mattress to keep its shape and stay supportive throughout its lifetime.   
• The combination of the layers keeps the body comfortable and aligned while you sleep.  
• Distributes weight evenly to reduce pressure points.  
• It gives support to front, back and side sleepers.  
• Durable and hard wearing.  
• Reduces motion transfer for a better night’s sleep even if your sleep buddy moves.  

Cons  

• Hybrid mattresses are heavier due to the multiple layers.  
•  It can be more of an investment.  

Now we have seen the pros and cons of both the standard and the hybrid mattress; you can see there are many benefits of using hybrid mattresses over standard mattresses. Not only to help support your body but to keep you comfortable by ensuring you remain at a suitable sleeping temperature and not overheating, which is one reason people give for disturbed sleep.   

The bamboo hybrid mattress is an excellent example of a hybrid mattress. Made up of a combination of BioCell Foam, OrthoAlign Foam and Multi-Zonal Springs, this 6-layer mattress maximises airflow and gives orthopaedic-grade support and comfort. As well as being anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic to ensure you have a perfect night’s sleep and wake feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead.    

Climbing into a comfy bed at the end of a busy day has to be one of life’s little pleasures. However, if your mattress doesn’t offer you the support you require, a night’s sleep can feel more like a test of endurance than a pleasure. 

Choosing a quality hybrid mattress will give you all of the benefits of a standard mattress, plus much more, like the extra support to keep you aligned and the maximised airflow to keep you cool and soundly asleep night after night.
