If you are having trouble sleeping or are waking up sore, you may need a different type of mattress. Fortunately, there are a variety of mattress structures available at mattress stores to meet the wide range of body types. You can even get a hybrid mattress that combines two different structures. This guide will highlight the benefits of making the swap to a hybrid option, as well as some popular combinations.

What Are the Different Types of Hybrid Mattresses?

While a hybrid mattress refers to any mattress made from two or more materials, it usually refers to a coil support system that has been combined with a comfort layer, such as memory foam, latex, or polyfoam. Often there is an additional cooling gel layer to keep the sleeper from getting too warm throughout the night, as well as a pillow top layer for extra cushioning. 

What Are the Benefits of Hybrid Mattresses?

In a typical memory foam bed, the sleeper melts into the material, while in a traditional innerspring mattress, there is often very little give. A hybrid allows the mattress to conform to your body while still providing enough support to let you sleep in whatever position you prefer. For instance, if you are a side sleeper, you probably find it difficult to keep your shoulders and hips comfortable on a standard coil or foam mattress. A hybrid contours to you just enough to let these body parts rest while keeping your neck and spine aligned. 

It can be a struggle to share a bed with another person if they are constantly moving while you're trying to sleep. In a hybrid, the innerspring layer is often toward the bottom of the mattress, so although there is still enough bounce to make it easier to get off the bed, it is reduced by the upper memory foam layer. This means you'll be less likely to wake up due to your partner's twisting and turning throughout the night, making the trip to the mattress store worthwhile. 

One of the primary complaints about memory foam mattresses is that they get too warm. Combining the material with a coil spring layer helps to keep the sleeper cool at night. Also, adding an additional cooling gel foam over the primary memory foam will help you to stay comfortable if you often get hot while sleeping.
