Hybrid 4 suitable for us?

Rebecca asked
11th May 2014

Looking at the Hybrid 4. I am 5’9″ and about 12 stone, my husband is 6’2″ and 14st. The bed we have is Super King size bed therefore just looking for a mattress. Do you think this would be the most suitable hybrid?

I quite like a soft warm mattress, unfortunately he is the opposite, preferring firmer and cooler!

Hi Rebecca,

You’ve raised an interesting point about your somewhat opposing mattress needs!

What I would advise is that although the Hybrid 4 is a soft / medium mattress its true softness is in the top comfort layer.

the support of the mattress is medium.

Your BodyweightThis will feel
Under 10 Stone / 63kgMedium
10-12 Stone / 63-76kgMedium to Soft
12-14 Stone / 76-88kgSoft to Medium
14-16 Stone / 88-101kgSoft
18 Stone / 114kg PlusPlease call for advice

Given the softer sink you get in the top layer will satisfy you but the medium support will also satisfy your partners need for a more firmer feel.

Due to the fact we use hybrid lay gel in the top layer this will keep the mattress cooler than say a memory foam layer but its still going to retain some heat.

Heat in mattresses is very subjective what I would say is that lay gel isn’t heat retentive so it maybe that your partner is ok with this.

I can’t say for definite!

Unless you go for two completely separate single mattresses you’re never going to get a perfect match for both of you.

I wouldn’t even recommend this as you will end up with two completely different mattresses i.e.

a latex or traditional for your partner and a hybrid for you.

This would make for quite an uneven looking mattress!

I would say for your weights and the feel you want the Hybrid 4 would be fine.

If you require any further assistance please call the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards Gary
