A hybrid mattress is a type of mattress that combines the pressure-relieving capabilities of foam with the responsiveness of innerspring models
. It consists of a foam comfort system on top of an innerspring support core
. The comfort system is typically made of memory foam, latex, polyfoam, microcoils, or a combination of these materials
. The innerspring support core provides structural firmness and improves spinal alignment for back and side sleepers
. Hybrid mattresses offer sleepers a contouring surface for pressure relief, responsiveness for ease of movement, and firmer edge support
. They are a popular choice for a wide range of sleep styles
. Hybrid mattresses are more expensive than traditional spring or foam mattresses
