Is it a coincidence that most of the best mattrasses you can get are hybrid mattresses? Well, after seeing how good hybrid mattresses can get, you'll know the answer!

A hybrid mattress is generally considered the best of both worlds because it combines memory foam and pocket springs into an ultimate sleeping surface.

Therefore, it is only understandable that you would want to get their hands on one. But, not just any hybrid mattress will do, right?

You need the best hybrid mattress the UK has to offer, and well – we might just have it! Before you is the list of the top seven best hybrid mattresses on the UK market, compiled after long and thorough market research and product testing.

With that in mind, we feel like it's safe to say you're bound to enjoy at least a few of these – if not all of them. So, we're going to start things off with our top seven picks and then discuss what makes some hybrid mattresses better than others.

Our top picks

We wouldn't want to waste your time, so it's only appropriate for us to get to the mattresses straight away. Now, this is not your regular β€œtop” list, and our mattresses aren't ranked in a particular order. Instead, they're each the best in their own respective category, so you can easily distinguish one from the other, and maybe, just maybe, buy the one that fits your needs the best.

The BioCell foam, 7 zone support, the comfort base layer and every other aspect of this hybrid mattress is just exemplary.

But, what's truly special about this mattress is the OrthoAlign Foam. This high-density layer is made from orthopaedic memory foam, which optimises spinal alignment to allow you to have a comfortable and pain-free sleep.

All of this makes the Panda Hybrid miles ahead compared to other hybrid mattresses when it comes to pressure and pain relief.

Plus, if you tend to overheat, the fun doesn't stop here, as Panda utilises sustainable bamboo to keep their mattresses nice and cool during even the hottest nights!

Best Cooling

While we've featured quite a few breathable mattresses so far, the Emma Luxe Cooling mattress takes the cake!

For one, the open-pore fibres in the cover do an excellent job at drawing heat away from your body, stopping you from turning into a human furnace. Not to mention that the cover can also easily be taken off and washed, making maintenance a lot easier.

But back to cooling, the memory foam layer right underneath the cover has been infused with graphite, which is known for its temperature-regulating abilities.

And let's not forget, this is still high-quality memory foam! So, your back and joints get all the pressure relief they need to keep you ache-free.

Lastly, the pocket springs near the bottom of the mattress further amp up the support and allow you to sleep in bliss!

Best Soft: Hypnia Supreme Hybrid Mattress

If you're on the smaller side and/or like to sleep on your side, a soft hybrid mattress like the Hypnia Supreme is just what the doctor ordered!
Best Soft
Person using the mattress handles.

While this soft hybrid mattress is best-suited for side sleepers, it can honestly keep anyone comfortable!

This is because the hybrid mattress carefully balances comfort and support, landing in the sweet spot for both. The integrated topper, for example, makes the mattress softer and allows your hips to dip. So, it's perfect for side sleepers.

The latex layer on the other hand balances out this softness with a firmer support, making the mattress good for stomach sleepers. And the pocket springs complete the picture, giving your back zoned support and accommodating back sleepers.

Plus, with a 200-night trial and a whopping 15-year guarantee, you can have the peace of mind knowing that this hybrid mattress isn't going anywhere!

Best for Couples: Simba Hybrid Luxe Mattress

If you want to share the ultimate sleeping experience with a special someone, this is the mattress for you!
Best for Couples
An image of a TSA reviewer sitting on a Simba Hybrid Luxe mattress

When it comes to finding the best mattress for couples, there are three main features you want to look for: edge support, motion isolation, and temperature regulation. And the Simba Hybrid Luxe delivers on all three!

For one, with four separate layers of high-quality springs, the entire mattress is sturdy and sag-proof! So, you can sleep right on the edge of the mattress without fearing that you'll fall off. Plus, since these are pocket springs, motion isolation is also incredibly high!

And while we praised the Simba Pro for utilising wool for temperature regulation, the Luxe takes it one step further by also adding bamboo! So, besides just being hypoallergenic, it should be impossible to overheat on this mattress as well.

And these are just some of the highlights. With 11 separate layers, the Simba Hybrid Luxe really does take care of everything. Although those 11 layers don't come cheap.

Best for Beauty Sleep

The main factor that makes this mattress excellent for beauty sleep is the cover. It's a 2cm embroidered memory foam cover that is infused with charcoal and bamboo!

Not only does this combination make the sleeping surface extra comfortable but the natural materials keep things hypoallergenic and allow your skin to breathe more easily. In other words, no more waking up covered in sweat or sneezing your head off.

Plus, OTTY has made sure that everything is done up to code, with a CertiPUR, Europur, and FIRA badge of approval. So, you know that you're not getting any nasty chemicals in your mattress!

And in terms of comfort, it's right up there with other high-end hybrid mattresses. With plenty of pocket springs for support, high-quality memory foam for pressure relief, and multiple added layers for stability and durability.

Things to consider when buying the best hybrid mattress

Now that we've met with our picks, it is time for us to dig a little deeper into the world of hybrid mattresses and tell you a little bit about what you should keep in mind when shopping for a hybrid.

Springs vs memory foam

Most hybrid mattresses are a mixture of two or more elements, hence the name. Most often, those elements are pocket springs and memory foam.

Even though these two work impeccably well together, knowing which one does which will help you select the perfect hybrid ten out of ten times.

Namely, some hybrids are more spring-oriented, while others emphasise the memory foam. Depending on whether you're looking for extra support and bounce, or contour and pressure relief, one or the other might be a better fit for you.

Generally speaking, spring-oriented hybrids are best suited towards support and cooling, while the memory foam-dominated hybrids are a better choice if you need pressure and pain relief, or possibly some extra motion isolation.

When to get more memory foam

Premium-memory-foam-layer

In practice, this is what your decision making process might look like. Let's say that you already have a memory foam mattress. It's incredibly comfortable, you love the hugging feeling the memory foam provides, and you couldn't live without the motion isolation memory foam is known for.

However, it could use a bit more breathability and you wouldn't mind it being a tad firmer. In this case, you want a memory foam focused hybrid mattress.

Finding a hybrid mattress that's more memory foam focused is rather easy. They'll typically have multiple layers of foam (sometimes even up to five or six).

However, do note that not all foam is memory foam. In fact, the actual memory foam layer is likely going to be just a few cm thick. But that's still more than enough in most cases.

When to get more pocket springs

Hand pressing down on the mattress surface.

On the other hand, let's say you have a pocket spring mattress that has served you well so far. You like a slightly firmer sleeping surface, the pocket springs support your body nicely, and you couldn't imagine waking up covered in sweat.

However, a bit of pressure relief and a subtle hug do seem nice. Then, a pocket spring focused mattress makes for a better choice.

When it comes to finding a hybrid mattress that's more pocket spring focused, it's a bit more difficult than with memory foam. Most of the time, you're just going to see a large number of pocket springs, usually above 1000.

However, you'll sometimes see hybrid mattresses that have multiple layers of pocket springs. These types of hybrids usually utilise smaller, more adaptable pocket springs. And these types of hybrids will usually perform better in terms of dynamic support and motion isolation.

The benefits of memory foam

So far, we've been a bit vague when it comes to what exactly memory foam mattresses and hybrid mattresses with more memory foam bring to the table. So, let's just quickly list off the main benefits of going for a memory foam focused hybrid mattress.

The benefits of pocket springs

If the last section made you think that you should just get a memory foam mattress, stick around. After all, a pocket-sprung mattress can bring about quite a few benefits that memory foam mattresses can't offer by themselves.

Bed frame and sizes

Not every mattress will work with every bed frame, and we don't just mean size-wise. Sure, a King-size mattress won't fit a Single bed frame, but what could also happen is that the base of your frame is incompatible with the mattress you've just bought.

Naturally, the first thing you'll pay attention to is the size because nobody wants a mattress that's too big or small for the bed frame. So, check whether you need a Single, Double, King, Super King or even a custom-size. Fortunately, UK mattress and bed frame sizes are standardised, so this shouldn't pose an issue.

On the other hand, the base of the frame might require some extra thinking. Generally speaking, a flat, solid base will offer better support and will make your mattress firmer. However, some mattresses need to β€œbreathe”, so a solid, closed-bottom base is not an option. This is especially important for hybrid mattresses that utilise a thick layer of memory foam.

In that case, you'd probably go for a slatted base, with up to 7 cm of space between the slats. A slatted base, on the other hand, is known to make your mattress softer, although not considerably.

Finally, the most important thing to remember is that the floor is not a suitable base for a hybrid or any other mattress. And there's no point in saving a bit of money now if you end up needing a chiropractor in a year or two!

A bed-in-a-box mattress

Hybrid mattresses are almost exclusively sold as bed-in-a-box mattresses β€“ like most mattresses are. What this means is that your new mattress will arrive at your doorstep, neatly packed and vacuum-sealed inside of a cardboard box.

Upon unpacking, you will need to leave your hybrid out to rest for at least a few hours, or maybe even days, although the latter is almost never the case. If the memory foam doesn't fully expand within the first 72 hours – there's probably something wrong with it.

Finally, bed-in-a-box mattresses are known for their chemical smell upon unpacking, but that's just a regular memory foam smell that will dissipate in a matter of hours and is not a cause for concern.

Of course, there will always be exceptions and some hybrids might not come as a bed-in-a-box. For example, just like some pocket-sprung mattresses are delivered already at full size, certain hybrids that have a lot of springs might come in a similar fashion.

Generally speaking, a bed-in-a-box is going to be ideal for most people. After all, it makes delivery a lot easier and you don't have to worry whether the mattress can fir through the door. However, some people might not want a bed-in-a-box, as you can't always use it right away. So, whether or not you get a bed-in-a-box depends on how soon you want to use your new hybrid and whether delivery is a problem for you.

Pain issues

An illustrations of sleeping positions and back pain

If you have trouble falling or staying asleep because of pain, a new mattress might be able to help – especially a hybrid. So, that's something to keep in mind.

Hybrid mattresses are known for being quite pressure and pain-relieving, mostly due to their unique structure, so if a hybrid is advertised as β€œgood for back pain” – it probably is.

Sleep-related pain is usually caused by a bad sleeping posture, and a bad sleeping posture is caused by a bad mattress. However, if you decide to get one of the best hybrid mattresses money can buy, pain shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Any of the aforementioned hybrid mattresses should do an excellent job of relieving you of pain by providing you with sound support, perfect spinal alignment and excellent pressure relief around the core areas (very important if you sleep on your side).

However, it is worth noting that if you're dealing with a chronic condition that's causing you pain in your lower back, hips or joints, an orthopaedic mattress might not cause any relief, as the mattress isn't the underlying cause of pain. So, in this case, seeing a professional is your best option.

Firmness

Finally, the last important thing you should pay attention to while shopping for a new hybrid is the firmness of the mattress. Firmness is measured on a β€œfirmness scale” β€“ an imaginary, yet agreed-upon scale from 1 to 10, where 10 is the firmest mattress should be.

an infographic showing the different levels of firmness of a mattress

Now, not every firmness level is suited for everyone, and even though a medium-firm hybrid should be a good fit for most people – don't just take the β€œsafe route”.

As a general rule of thumb, you should select the firmness of the mattress based on your sleeping position and your body weight. The less you weigh the softer the mattress should be, and vice versa.

As far as sleeping positions go, the general consensus is following.

Side sleepers should choose a soft to a medium-firm mattress, so anywhere from 3.5 to a 6.5 on the firmness scale.

Back sleepers have a bit more range to work with, and will generally find anything ranging from 4 to 8.5 to be quite comfortable.

As for the front sleepers, well, they require a bit more pelvic support, therefore, a softer mattress isn't an option. So, it's 6.5 or higher for the stomach sleepers. However, do note that your bodyweight also comes into play! So, just refer to the table below if you're not sure how firm your hybrid mattress should be.

An infographic showcasing different mattress firmness levels

The price

While hybrid mattresses are amazing, they're not always very cheap. And, depending on what you're looking for, they can vary greatly when it comes to both the price and the quality of the hybrid mattress itself. So, we're just going to go over the general price points of different hybrid mattresses and talk about what you should expect.

And based on that information, you can decide whether you want a luxury hybrid mattress or one of the cheaper models. But we will point out that this is a generalisation and there are bound to be plenty of outliers!

Low-end hybrid mattresses

Even though we're calling them low-end, hybrid mattresses will still typically be more expensive than a lower-quality foam mattress or an innespring model. Let's say roughly around 200-300 pounds for a Single mattress. When getting a lower-end hybrid mattress, you should expect:

Medium hybrid mattresses

Middle-of-the-road hybrids are typically going to be a pretty safe choice for a lot of people. While they're not as cheap, they also typically feel and perform a lot better than their cheaper counterparts. Here memory foam is more-or-less the standard and you can even start to see pocket-sprung bases with micro springs.

This is also where you typically see a lot of the bigger brands such as Emma or Silentnight. And that means that you'll usually get very good coverage for your new hybrid!

High-end hybrid mattresses

When getting a premium mattress, you can expect premium quality. High-end hybrids typically start utilising other materials besides just memory foam and pocket springs. For example, latex. A premium mattress will also likely have multiple foam and spring layers. This is to ensure that you're getting the most comfortable sleeping surface while also being supported throughout the night.

Lastly, most of the biggest brands will have premium hybrids in their catalogue. So, expect to start seeing insane features such as lifetime warranties and one-year trial periods.

Tips for buying and using the best hybrid mattress

The Sleep Advisors reviewer thinking

To make sure you end up with the best hybrid mattress for your own needs, you have to know how to find the right one. But, if you don't know how to use it properly, you might miss out on some excellent features. On that note, here are some tips for buying and using the hybrid mattresses.

Choose the mattress based on your personal needs. If you sleep on your stomach – go for a firm mattress, which will usually be more spring-focused. If you sleep on your side – opt for a soft mattress, which will usually have a thicker layer of memory foam. And if you struggle with allergies – look for a mattress with hypoallergenic properties. You get the gist.

Simply looking at the spec sheet of a hybrid mattress might give you a good idea of what kind of performance you can expect, but you can't be 100% sure whether a mattress is good or not, and that's where expert reviews come in handy.

Even the best mattresses can be made average if not used on the correct bed base. So, make sure you got that part covered, too.

Always be on the lookout for deals. Most mattress brands in the UK often put their products on sale, so if you want to buy a new mattress, waiting for a month or two might just save you more than a couple of quid.

A mattress protector goes a long way. Even though hybrids are durable, having a high quality protector on top of it makes maintenance ten times easier. 

The advantages of owning the best hybrid mattress

A happy The Sleep Advisors presenter

There is more than one advantage to owning the best hybrid mattress.

For starters,Β hybrid mattresses generally bring forth the best of both worlds – memory foam and pocket springs. And, when you put those two together, you get a neat little mash-up of excellent support and contouring comfort.

Furthermore, hybrid mattresses are known for being quite reliable, durable and long-lasting, so you can be certain that if you make a sizable investment into a product like this, you'll actually get some quality in return.

Additionally,Β some hybrid mattresses are known for being excellent at alleviating pressure and painΒ thanks to their semi-orthopaedic nature and brilliant design. This is especially true when they feature a thicker layer of memory foam or natural latex. Not to say other mattresses can't be pain-relieving, as well.

Finally, hybrid mattresses are generally low maintenance. They often come with removable, washable covers, and due to their unique structure, they rarely need flipping – only rotating every so often. This makes them incredibly easy to keep clean and in great shape for a long time.

Conclusion

In conclusion, hybrid mattresses can make for an amazing investment. When done right, they bring out the best parts of both memory foam and pocket springs, leading to an unparalleled sleeping experience. So, keep what we've said in mind as you search for the best hybrid mattress the UK has to offer!

And if you have any questions, check out the FAQ section or leave us a comment. After all, good hybrid mattresses can be quite expensive. And it's better to have all the facts before committing to a new mattress.

FAQs about your hybrid mattresses

In the end, we wanted to wrap things up by answering some of the most frequently asked questions about hybrid mattresses.

How long do hybrid mattresses last on average?

A reliable, high-quality hybrid mattress will last anywhere from 8 to 10 years on average.

What level of firmness do I need from a hybrid mattress?

It all depends on your sleeping preferences but generally speaking, a medium-firm hybrid should be a suitable fit for most sleepers.

Do I have to flip/turn my hybrid mattress?

Most of the time, you'll only need to rotate your hybrid mattress from head to toe. So, no flipping will be required.

Do hybrid mattresses have a strong smell of chemicals?

Some memory foam hybrids might have an issue with off-gassing in the first few hours or days but nothing persistent or too strong.

Do hybrid mattresses come with a trial period that allows you to test them?

It all depends. Most mattress brands in the UK will grant you a trial period ranging from 100 to 356 days.

Are hybrid mattresses better for side sleepers?

In general, hybrids should be a good fit for side sleepers, as they have a soft foam upper layer. However, this can differ from one model to another.

Should back sleepers use hybrid mattresses?

Absolutely. Most hybrid mattresses will be an excellent fit for back sleepers. Just make sure to get a mattress with an appropriate firmness level.

Can front sleepers use a hybrid mattress?

They can. However, they have to ensure that they're getting a medium-firm or firm model, depending on their bodyweight.
