Layla gives “hybrid” a whole new meaning with their flippable mattress that’s soft on one side and firm on the other. Contributor Cheryl Dearborne used the firm side and stated it supported them properly while still “providing a soft cradle.” When you have it on the firm side, the layer order goes: cool and supportive copper-gel memory foam, airflow support foam with the brand’s Surface Modification Technology, individually wrapped coil system for even more motion control, another layer of airflow support foam, and another layer of copper-gel memory foam. Overall, it creates a dreamy sleep experience that Cheryl stated left her “sleeping better than I ever have before. My sleep is more regulated.”

The Purple Hybrid mattress keeps it a little more lean with only three layers. One of the layers includes Purple’s own proprietary GelFlex Grid, aimed to feel both soft and firm—molding to your pressure points, while still offering optimal support. This balance shone through to tester Shoko Wanger. “The first time I sat on it, I was shocked at how squishy it felt,” Shoko said. “My toddler son even hopped on with me and immediately said, ‘Bouncy!’ But then, when I lay down, I was surprised again—I wasn’t sinking into it the way I expected I would; instead, I felt buoyant.” In fact, Shoko recommended it felt perfect for someone who prefers a firmer bed, saying “that aforementioned combo of cushiness and extra support is almost addictive.”

The Puffy Lux hybrid mattress aims to bring elements of luxury to the mattress-in-a-box market. This 12-inch, medium-plush bed has eight layers, including stately cover quilting, three layers of plush foam, and spring coils. “I love this mattress for side sleeping,” said testing operations manager Lauren Hapgood. “It feels soft and squishy, and my shoulders feel cuddled by the foam. All the foam makes the bed a little warm, so I recommend dialing down on bedding if you get the Puffy Lux.” Lauren also liked the Puffy Lux for back sleeping, especially if you like a plush-soft mattress. This mattress also comes with two pillows, a mattress protector, and a sheet set—all free with the mattress.

Made up of organic wool batting, latex, pocket springs, and cotton filling, tester Kristi Kellogg reported the Happsy works for just about any sleeping position—whether you’re a back sleeper, side sleeper, or stomach sleeper. It’s definitely a firmer mattress, with Kristi stating it felt as solid as a regular coiled model, which is something to note if you prefer a medium-soft feel. That said, if you’re someone who likes to pay vigilant attention to what’s used to make their mattress, then you’ll like Happsy’s use of 100% organic and nontoxic materials. One thing to note is Kristi stated this left a faint alfalfa smell when she first unboxed the mattress from its slim and compact packaging, but it did quickly air out.
