Latex for Less Hybrid Latex Mattress Review: Test Lab Ratings

The Hybrid Latex Mattress is more responsive than other hybrid models, but it still isolates motion fairly well.

Each pocketed coil moves independently, so motion shouldn’t ripple across the surface. The fabric casing also helps absorb excess motion.

Dunlop latex is denser and less bouncy than Talalay latex, so it doesn’t transfer as much motion. That said, it doesn’t isolate motion as well as more body-conforming materials like memory foam.

The medium feel slightly outperforms the firm model in this category. The softer latex allows sleepers to sink more, which reduces motion transfer. The firm feel has a more responsive surface, so couples may notice when their partner moves.

Most sleepers should experience adequate pressure relief on the Hybrid Latex Mattress. Dunlop latex evenly contours sleepers without permitting deep sinkage. This helps spread body weight across the mattress, preventing pressure points. The soft cotton cover and wool layer provide subtle pressure relief.

The medium feel has plusher latex with more give, so it offers greater cushioning than the firm model. That said, sleepers over 230 pounds should gain more pressure relief on the firm model. By reinforcing heavier body areas, the firm feel distributes body weight more evenly for those over 230 pounds.

Latex is known for regulating temperature well, so it’s not surprising that the mattress excels in this category. Despite its density, Dunlop latex is generally more breathable than memory foam. Its hugging sensation is also moderate, so it doesn’t trap as much heat.

Cotton and wool naturally dissipate heat and moisture, helping the mattress’ surface stay cool and dry. The pocketed coil core generates more airflow than a solid foam core.

Our testing team found the Hybrid Latex Mattress was a cooler alternative for sleepers who tend to find foam mattresses too hot.

Both firmness options have solid edge support, so the mattress’ entire surface area should feel stable.

Dense and durable, Dunlop latex resists premature sagging and deep impressions. Sleepers can therefore spread out without feeling like they’re rolling off the bed. Reinforced coils along the perimeter also boost edge support.

The firm feel offers superior edge support since it compresses less under weight and pressure. Couples and sleepers over 230 pounds may notice more outer edge sinkage on the medium model, especially as the mattress ages. In general, sleepers should feel secure on both models, whether when sitting or sleeping on the sides of the bed.

With its responsive feel and minimal sinkage, sleepers should have little difficulty moving on the Hybrid Latex Mattress. This is especially true for those who feel constrained by memory foam’s deeper body hug.

Dunlop latex’s notable push-back makes adjusting positions easier. The bouncy coiled core also ensures that sleepers don’t feel trapped inside the comfort system.

The firm model rates slightly higher than the medium feel since the surface yields even less. Sleepers over 230 pounds sink into the mattress more, so they might not move as freely on the medium model.

We found off-gassing was very faint for the Hybrid Latex Mattress. Unlike foam or synthetic latex, natural latex doesn’t contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These tiny particles are responsible for the chemical-like smell that new mattresses often emit.

Since the mattress arrives compressed in plastic, you might notice a subtle smell when you open the box. Natural wool sometimes has a faint earthy smell when new. Any odors should quickly dissipate once the mattress is decompressed and aired out in a room.
