A hybrid memory foam mattress can provide you with all the benefits of a traditional innerspring mattress, with the modern benefits of memory foam. Instead of deciding between multiple types of mattresses, a hybrid approach can give you a better night's sleep and less pain.

Firm Support

When you need a firmer mattress, there is usually no better option than an innerspring. Although many people with chronic pain, especially back and widespread joint pain, want more cushioning in their mattress, this is not the best option. The softer your mattress, the faster it can begin to sag, causing the springs to poke through the material. When a mattress does not adequately support your body, it only exacerbates pain because it is harder for your body to stay in alignment throughout the night. Since people have different body types, those who are taller or larger may require firmer support. Fortunately, a hybrid mattress also contains traditional coils, which makes this type of mattress as supportive as a traditional innerspring mattress.

Comfort

The memory foam aspect of a hybrid mattress can cradle your body and make your mattress softer, while the innerspring system under the memory foam is supportive. Unlike other materials that are designed to make your mattress softer and more comfortable, such as mattress pads containing polyester filling or down, memory foam is capable of "remembering" your body so it essentially cradles you. This cradling effect can reduce pressure points because it conforms to your body. Depending on your temperature preference, memory foam can be an advantage if you prefer a warmer temperature or if you find warmer temperatures help with pain. Memory foam tends to absorb body heat, which makes the foam softer and more malleable. Some types of hybrid mattresses may have a gel core that helps counteract the absorption of heat so your mattress stays cooler.

Affordability

Of course, mattresses can be found in various price ranges, with innerspring generally being less expensive than other options. Full memory foam mattresses can be more expensive, which can make them cost-prohibitive for many people. When you combine features of both mattresses, you may find you are capable of finding a hybrid mattress within your budget. This allows more people to enjoy the benefits of memory foam without breaking the bank. People who are more familiar with innerspring mattresses may be hesitant to try other materials because they may believe they need to be replaced sooner. Fortunately, hybrid mattresses have a comparable lifespan to innerspring mattresses.

You do not need to decide between an innerspring or memory foam mattress. Hybrid memory foam mattresses give you the best of both worlds with a combination of support and comfort.
