The Latex Hybrid Mattress offers the best of all-foam and spring-type beds by combining a 2-inch FSC-certified Talalay latex comfort layer and an 8-inch Leggett & Platt® pocketed coil support core. The medium firmness level of the mattress helps it adapt to all sleep positions, relieving pressure and supporting the back, hips, and shoulders. Additionally, the synergy between perforated Talalay latex and the coil system enhances airflow, ensuring optimal temperature regulation and minimizing heat retention for hot sleepers.

Both the Latex Hybrid Mattress and the DIY Hybrid Mattress offer high-quality hybrid constructions that blend the benefits of latex and pocketed coil support. The Latex Hybrid Mattress provides a balanced medium-firm feel with Talalay latex and Leggett & Platt® coils, making it a great all-around choice for sleepers seeking comfort, support, and durability.
The DIY Hybrid Mattress is designed for customization, featuring a zippered cover that allows users to adjust layers to their preference, with multiple firmness and thickness options. The DIY model also boasts a longer lifespan, a 20-year warranty, and a Texas Pocket Spring QuadCoil® support core for enhanced durability. Both mattresses excel in breathability, motion isolation, and eco-friendliness, but the DIY Hybrid Mattress offers a more tailored experience for those who want to fine-tune their bed.
The DIY Hybrid Mattress comes in multiple boxes and requires manual layering of the latex and coil components inside the zippered cover. Assembly is straightforward, as all you have to do is open the cover, add in the coil layer, add in the latex layer(s), and zip it up. It can take around 15-30 minutes, depending on your setup. You can check out the entire process on the DIY Hybrid Mattress product webpage, under the "ASSEMBLY & CARE" tab.
Yes! The zippered cover allows you to replace or adjust the latex layer over time, making it easy to modify firmness levels as your preferences change.
No tools are needed. The mattress layers fit naturally within the zippered cover, and the coils arrive pre-assembled in their encasement.
We recommend going with a latex mattress topper. It works well to provide responsive support and cushioning, which means you won't lose the trademark feel of latex foam. If you require more pressure relief and bed sore relief, go for a latex egg crate mattress topper. The unique egg crate shape distributes body weight more evenly and gently massages the body's contours.
The DIY Hybrid Mattress may be the better option since you can customize each side separately by using different latex firmness levels for each sleeper.
Both mattresses have reinforced coils for strong edge support, but the DIY Hybrid’s firmer outer coil rows (13.5 gauge) may provide slightly better resistance to sagging over time.
Yes, both mattresses are compatible with adjustable bed bases. The pocket coils and latex foams are both flexible and adjust well with a power base.
Neither mattress needs to be flipped due to their one-sided construction. However, rotating them every 3-6 months can help maintain even wear.
Unlike traditional coils, the QuadCoil® design features a sturdy belt around each coil section, which enhances stability, prevents sagging, and ensures consistent support over time. It also eliminates the need for noisy top layers, reducing the "trampoline effect" for a quieter and more comfortable sleep experience.
Additionally, the glue-free Butterfly-Locking QuadCoil® technique minimizes environmental impact and improves durability by reducing the risk of rows splitting apart. Overall, the QuadCoil® system provides superior edge support, a smoother surface, and longer-lasting performance compared to standard pocketed coils.
The DIY Hybrid Mattress, especially in extra firm and 12-inch thickness configurations, offers stronger support for heavier sleepers, while the Latex Hybrid Mattress is better suited for those in the light to mid-weight range.
