LAYLA HYBRID MATTRESS REVIEW
The Layla Hybrid Mattress is a standout in the bedding market, offering a unique flippable design that caters to various sleep preferences.
Combining memory foam with pocketed coil springs, this mattress made in the USA aims to provide both comfort and support.
Let’s take a closer look at its composition, firmness options, temperature regulation, maintenance, motion transfer, suitability for different sleepers, and a balanced list of pros and cons.
Company Policies & Recommendations
Layla Hybrid Mattress - Composition
The Layla Hybrid Mattress is a 13-inch thick mattress, meticulously crafted with multiple layers to ensure optimal comfort and support. Here’s a breakdown of its construction:
Cover
- Material Composition: The cover is made from a blend of 63% Polyester, 26% Rayon, 6% Viscose, and 5% Poly/Lycra.
- Features: This combination results in a soft, breathable fabric that enhances airflow and comfort. Additionally, the cover is equipped with a zipper, allowing sleepers to remove it for cleaning or inspection, though we do not recommend unzipping it unless absolutely necessary, as the fire retardant barrier is made of fiberglass, which can become loose and fly into the bedroom and nose / lungs if compromised, when the cover is not on.
Comfort Layers
The mattress is designed with distinct layers on each side, catering to the two different firmness levels. However, whether on the Soft or Firm side, the copper-gel infused memory foam is the closest to your body:
Soft Side:
- Copper-Gel Memory Foam: This 2.5-inch layer has a density of 3.5 lb and an Indentation Load Deflection (ILD) of 12. The copper infusion offers antimicrobial properties and odor control, while the thick memory foam provides a plush feel providing cozy contouring, excellent pressure relief, and helps dissipate heat to maintain a cool sleeping surface.
- Max Airflow Support Foam: Beneath the memory foam lies a 2-inch layer with a density of 1.65 lb and an ILD of 23. This foam is firmer and features deep channels to promote airflow through the mattress. It is zoned to offer enhanced support to heavier body areas (hips and shoulders), ensuring a smooth transition to the firmer coil system.
Firm Side:
- Copper-Gel Memory Foam: On this side, there’s a thinner 1-inch layer of the same copper-infused memory foam, providing a firmer feel with less pressure relief while still maintaining cooling and antimicrobial benefits. For heavier back sleepers and stomach sleepers, this layer provides just the right amount of pressure relief without the extra sinkage.
- Max Airflow Support Foam: This 2-inch layer has a higher ILD of 40, offering firmer support with deep channels for airflow. It is zoned for targeted support and to maintain spinal alignment.
Support Core
- Individually Pocketed Coils: At the heart of the mattress is a 6-inch layer of pocketed coils. The perimeter features firmer 16-gauge coils to enhance edge support, allowing for edge-to-edge sleeping and making it easier to get in and out of bed. Edge-to-edge sleeping provides a sleeping surface that can feel up to 20% wider than a regular mattress. The central area utilizes 14-gauge coils, all encased to maximize motion isolation. Lastly, the coils allows for plenty of air flow, letting warm air from the body escape, replacing it with cooler room air.
This dual-sided construction ensures that the Layla Hybrid Mattress delivers a balanced combination of comfort, support, and durability, with a different feel on each side.
Layla Hybrid Mattress Sleep Tests
Everything we felt in one box
| Firmness | Temperature | Maintenance | Sleeping Style | Bed Base |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The Layla Hybrid Mattress uses a dual-firmness flippable design, providing two distinct firmness levels. We rated the Soft side a 5/10, which is fairly soft and provides deep pressure relief. The Firm side is a 7/10 and works for sleepers looking for more support and less contouring. |
The Layla Hybrid Mattress sleeps temperature neutral. On either sides is a layer of copper-infused memory foam, which helps draw heat away from the body. Beneath that layer is the Max Airflow Support Foam, which is dug with deep channels to allow air to flow through the mattress. Additionally, the coils help further move air through the mattress. |
The mattress cover can be unzipped and thrown in the washing machine for an easy wash. However, since the Layla Hybrid Mattress uses fiberglass in its making, we do not recommend removing his cover unless absolutely necessary. Instead use a waterproof mattress protector and blot fresh stains as they arise. |
The Soft side is the perfect firmness for side and lighter-weight back sleepers, while the Firm side works well for heavier back sleepers, those suffering from back pain, and stomach sleepers under 180 lbs. |
As with most modern mattresses, the Layla Hybrid mattress can be placed on any bed frame – box springs, divan bases, traditional frames, slats, adjustable bases, and even the floor will do! |
Firmness - Flippable Mattress
One of the standout features of the Layla Hybrid Mattress is its flippable design, offering two distinct firmness levels:
- Soft Side: We have rated the soft side a 5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, providing a medium-soft feel, ideal for those who prefer a plush sleeping surface with ample pressure relief. It offer deep pressure relief, with softness and contouring of the hip and shoulder areas, with a 2.5-inch comfort layer on top of a 2-inch support layer of medium firmness, which provides further pressure relief and a soft transition into the firmer coils.
- Firm Side: Rated at 7 out of 10, we think this side offers a firm feel, suitable for sleepers who desire more support and less sinkage. Compared to the soft side, the comfort layer of copper-infused foam is only 1 inch (vs. 2.5 inches) and the support foam is much firmer, allowing for just the right plushness for comfort and pressure relief, and great support and spinal alignment.
This dual-firmness design allows users to choose or switch between firmness levels based on their comfort preferences. It also offer twice the life on the Layla Hybrid Mattress, if your needs and preferences change and you are able to enjoy both sides of the mattress.
Temperature Regulation
Temperature control is a crucial aspect of sleep quality, especially if you are a hot sleeper, or sleeping in hot climate. The Layla Hybrid Mattress uses several layers to achieve temperature-neutral sleep:
- Breathable Cover: The soft and breathable cover facilitates air circulation, further contributing to temperature regulation. We have found it to remain temperature neutral through the night.
- Copper-Infused Memory Foam: The copper infusion in the memory foam helps draw heat away from the body, promoting a cooler sleeping experience.
- Max Airflow Support Foam: The deep-dug channels in this layer enhance airflow within the mattress, aiding in heat dissipation.
- Thick Layer of Coils: The 6 inches of coils allow for plenty of air to flow through the mattress, giving an outlet for hot air to escape, and a way for cooler bedroom air to come in.
These combined features work together to maintain a comfortable sleeping temperature throughout the night.
Motion Transfer
Motion isolation is essential for couples or light sleepers who are easily disturbed by movement of their partner / child / pet. The Layla Hybrid Mattress performs admirably in this area:
- Individually Pocketed Coils: Each coil operates independently, minimizing the spread of motion across the bed.
- Memory Foam Layers: The memory foam absorbs movement, further reducing motion transfer, especially on the soft side.
This combination ensures that movements, such as a partner getting in or out of bed, are less likely to disturb the other sleeper. Of all mattresses we have tested, the Layla Hybrid mattress is one of the best of in motion isolation.
Maintenance & Durability
Proper maintenance does not have to be hard, nor time consuming, and can extend the lifespan of your mattress. Here are some tips for the Layla Hybrid Mattress:
- Cover Care: The removable cover can be unzipped and spot-cleaned with mild detergent. It’s advisable to avoid machine washing to preserve the fabric’s integrity however, though in case of a large stain, you could machine wash on a gentle cycle. Note that the fire retardant layer inside the Layla Hybrid Mattress is made of fiberglass and we never recommend unzipping a mattress cover if fiberglass is present inside. Only unzip your mattress cover if you absolutely have to.
- Mattress Protector: Our number 1 tip is always to fit a high-quality waterproof mattress protector on your mattress to prevent accidental spills from entering the cover and foam layers. This is your easiest way to safeguard your mattress investment.
- Rotation: While the mattress is flippable, regularly rotating it (head to foot) every 3-6 months can promote even wear.
- Support: Ensure the mattress is placed on a suitable foundation or bed frame to maintain its structure and support.
By following these maintenance practices, you can help ensure the longevity and performance of your Layla Hybrid Mattress.

- Stomach Sleepers: The firm side offers the necessary support to prevent excessive sinkage, which is beneficial for stomach sleepers. If you are a stomach sleepers over 180 lbs, however, we recommend a firmer mattress of 8/10 on the firmness scale, unless you have a personal preference for softer mattresses.
