Pros & Cons

The mattress is recommended for sleepers, who

  • Want strong edge support
  • Look for different firmness options in the same bed
  • Enjoy the quintessential “hugging” sensation

Not so ideal for sleepers, who

  • Are tight on budget
  • Don’t like sinking into their mattress

Firmness

Firmness is a subjective matter. It describes how soft or hard a bed can feel. To some, a particular bed may feel soft, while to others, it may feel firm. Whether a mattress feels firm or soft, it should support body weight, promote healthy spinal alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.

The Layla Hybrid offers two different firmness levels on two sides of the mattress. One side of the mattress feels soft and plush, and the other is firm and supportive. The softer side will be preferred by those who like a little hug from the mattress, and the firm side gives a traditional firmer feeling, thus offering less sink and more support. The hybrid construction makes the mattress very supportive, and the comfort layers provide memory foam contouring.

Material & Construction

The Layla Hybrid is a mattress that can be flipped. The mattress comes with a handle to make flippling easy. It is constructed using copper-gel infused memory foam (3.5 pounds density / 12 pounds Indentation Load Deflection (ILD)), Polyfoam (Airflow for soft side: 1.65 pounds density / 23 pounds ILD and Airflow for firm side: 1.65 pounds density / 40 pounds ILD). Individually wrapped coils of 16 gauge are used as edge coil and 14 gauge as the center coil. The cover is made of 63% polyester, 26% rayon, 6% viscose, and 5% poly/lycra.

The different layers in the mattress are detailed below:

  • Layer 1: The top layer, i.e., the cover of this mattress, is soft and breathable. It comes with a zipper for easy removal.
  • Layer 2: The soft side of the mattress comes with a thick copper-infused memory foam layer for more cooling. Beneath this layer is the Max Airflow Foam layer that has channels cut into it. Both these layers help to keep the mattress exceptionally cool. A similar construction is followed for the firm side of the mattress, although the foam layers are less dense on this side.
  • Layer 3:  This layer falls in between the soft and firm sides. It includes individually wrapped coils that provide more durability to the mattress.

Repositioning

(4.25/5)

Repositioning describes the ability to change positions easily while sleeping. All-foam mattress conforms very closely to the sleeper’s body, thus making it difficult for them to change positions quickly and with ease. The Layla Hybrid is highly responsive, thus allowing quick adaptation to changes in body position during sleeping. The mattress sinks deep when sleeping on the softer side as memory foam has a slow response time, implying the softer side offers some resistance in mobility. On the other hand, the firmer side prevents from sinking too much and makes moving across the bed easier.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

(4.00/5)

Buying a mattress becomes difficult with the wide variety of options available in the market. The right mattress can help you have a good night’s sleep and relieve you from pains upon waking up in the morning. So, pain relief is an important feature that most people look for while buying a mattress. Back pain can be relieved only when the spine is relaxed.

The Layla Hybrid mattress has thick memory foam layers that give comfort. The dense foam layers on the softer side cradle the body and relieve pressure buildups, whereas the firm side provides support and comfort to sleepers. It is a good mattress for people suffering from back pain. For those sleeping on their back, the coils in the mattress will give sufficient support to help the spine maintain proper alignment. The copper infusion, Max Airflow foam, and support coils together help you sleep cool through the night.

The suitability of the mattress for different sleeping positions is detailed below:

  • Back sleepers: Light and average-weight back sleepers will find enough support to keep their spine in perfect alignment while sleeping on the soft side of the mattress, while heavyweight back sleepers will prefer the firmer side more. Large-sized individuals will sink in the softer, thus making the firmer side more preferable.
  • Side Sleepers: Side sleepers need a mattress that will be soft enough to hug the body and provide relief to pressure points under the hips and shoulders. The soft side of the mattress can be slept on comfortably for lightweight and average-weight sleepers, whereas the firm side should be just fine with heavyweight side sleepers. The mattress being flippable, sleepers can switch from soft side to firm side as required. This makes the mattress very unique.
  • Stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress that would enable them to keep their hips elevated to help with back pain. Lightweight and average-weight stomach sleepers may find the firm side of the Layla Hybrid to provide some support, but heavyweight stomach sleepers will have to look for other firm mattresses.
  • Heavy sleepers: The Layla Hybrid is supportive of heavyweight sleepers. Sleeping on the softer side will give heavy sleepers enough pressure relief and the firm side sufficient support from the coils.

Cooling & Temperature Control

(4.50/5)

The most critical condition that determines the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is a considerable decrease in the core body temperature. To help sleep cool at night, Layla has included additional features in the hybrid model. Hybrid mattress enables sleeping cooler than all-foam mattress as the coils promotes more air to flow within the mattress than foam variant can. The copper-gel infused memory foam infusion draws away heat from the body fast, thus enabling sleep cool. Further, the support foam is Layla’s Max Airflow foam, containing air channels to keep the air moving.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

(4.25/5)

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. Mattress with good motion isolation will help to neutralize movement made on one side of the bed, thus helping partners sleep peacefully.

This mattress is excellent in absorbing motion transfer. The dense foam layers and the pocketed coils absorb movement within the mattress, which means you can enjoy sleeping peacefully without being disturbed by your partner’s movements. Couples sharing their beds prefer a responsive and bouncy mattress, and the Layla Hybrid is considered an excellent bed for sex with its additional cooling feature.

Edge Support

(4.00/5)

Edge support is the amount of support that a mattress can offer around its edges. The edge support helps in stabilizing the perimeter of the mattress. It is an essential consideration for couples sharing their bed with partners, as poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.

The mattress comes with excellent edge support on both sides. The perimeter is surrounded by smaller gauge coils that offer extra edge support. The individually wrapped coil system at the core makes the edges of the mattress sturdy. The dense foam layers also provide extra padding near the edges and allow the mattress to conform to an adjustable base. Strong edge support makes sitting or lying near the edges more secure.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Good sleep is crucial in living a healthy life. Each one of us has different sleeping styles and specific needs for comfort and support; thus, choosing the right mattress may be difficult. The U.S. Center for Disease Control claims that 1 out of 3 people has insomnia, leading to different health problems. The Layla Hybrid mattress has been designed keeping in mind the need of both preferring to sleep on a soft and firm mattress.

Below is a detailed description of how Layla Hybrid is a good fit for different sleep positions.

  • Side Sleepers: Average to lightweight side sleepers shall find the soft side of this mattress most comfortable. The plush memory foam allows the shoulder and hip areas to sink into the mattress and provide comfort. For heavyweight sleepers, the firm side shall work fine as well as the bodyweight would allow the foam to contour as per the pressure points.
  • Back Sleepers: The soft side of the mattress comes with a medium-soft feel, which makes this side of the mattress ideal for average-weight back sleepers who shall find enough lumbar support while sleeping. Heavyweight back sleepers, however, may find the film version better.
  • Stomach Sleepers: Support is most important for stomach sleepers as too much pressure on the spine may cause the spine to bend uncomfortably. Lightweight stomach sleepers may find some support on the softer side. Average to heavyweight sleepers should opt for the firm variant to enjoy maximum benefits.
  • Combination Sleepers-Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers tend to change positions while sleeping. The Layla Hybrid offering two firmness options makes it an excellent bed for combination sleepers. Combination sleepers also look for responsiveness in a mattress, and the Layla Hybrid is very responsive and helps sleepers to move around or change positions freely. The mattress fits lightweight and average-weight combination sleepers and provides heavyweight sleepers with just the right amount of firmness that suits their favorite sleeping positions.
