Both the Egg Crate Mattress and the DIY Hybrid Mattress bring something unique to the table, so it really comes down to what kind of sleep experience you're looking for. If pressure relief and contouring comfort are your top priorities, the Egg Crate Mattress is a great pick. The egg crate foam cushions your body, helping to distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure points. It’s especially good if you deal with aches, bed sores, or just love that plush, cradling feel.
If you like a little more bounce, support, and customization, the DIY Hybrid Mattress gives you the best of both worlds. The pocketed coil system and 7-zone latex foam work together to provide targeted support, while the zippered cover lets you adjust the layers to fine-tune your comfort level. Both mattresses are eco-friendly, breathable, and built to last; plus, they come with a 120-night trial, a 20-year warranty, and free shipping, so you can sleep easy knowing you made a solid choice.
It’s all about pressure relief and airflow. The raised peaks of the egg crate foam gently cushion your body, reducing stress on pressure points like shoulders and hips. At the same time, the valleys between the peaks allow for better airflow, preventing heat buildup. This means cooler, more comfortable sleep with less tossing and turning.
The zippered cover lets you customize your comfort. You can swap out or adjust the latex layer(s) and even replace them over time instead of buying a whole new mattress. So, if you ever feel like your bed is too firm or too soft, you can tweak it to match your preferences.
Absolutely! Unlike traditional innerspring mattresses, pocketed coils move independently. This means they reduce motion transfer (so you won’t be disturbed if your partner moves), offer zoned support for different parts of your body, and help with airflow, making your mattress cooler than an all-foam option.
Both are built to last 15–20 years, and both have the advantage of swapping out the latex layers over time; they can be refreshed instead of replaced. That means you might extend their lifespan even further with a simple layer upgrade.
The DIY Hybrid wins here, thanks to its firmer outer coil row. If you tend to sit on the edge of your bed or sleep near the side, it will hold its shape better than the Egg Crate Mattress, which relies solely on latex foam for edge support.
Both do a great job with cooling, but the DIY Hybrid has an edge because of its pocketed coil layer, which allows more airflow. If you sleep hot, the hybrid’s breathable design might be the better pick, though the Egg Crate Mattress still regulates temperature well with its wool layer and ventilated latex.
Nope, but you can rotate them every few months to help with even wear. The Egg Crate Mattress has a specific top layer (the egg crate foam), and the DIY Hybrid has a coil base that needs to stay at the bottom. So, no flipping—just rotate.
Yes, especially since they both come in extra-firm options. The DIY Hybrid’s pocketed coils provide extra support and durability, making it a great choice for heavier sleepers who want a sturdy but comfortable feel. The Egg Crate Mattress, while also supportive, will feel more contouring and plush.
Both come compressed in multiple boxes and are easy to unbox. The Egg Crate Mattress typically comes in 4–5 boxes, while the DIY Hybrid arrives in 3–4. Just open the boxes, place the layers in order, zip up the cover, and voilà—your new bed is ready!
It depends on what you want! The Egg Crate Mattress is great for deep contouring and pressure relief, while the DIY Hybrid gives you customization and long-term flexibility. If you like the idea of tweaking your mattress over time instead of replacing it, the Hybrid might give you more bang for your buck in the long run.
