Construction

Layla Mattresses9.3

Layla Mattress

This 10″ mattress is built in four unique layers with each layer offering its own benefit to the sleeper. The use of copper is also a catch here.

The details

Polyester Cover

The cover of this mattress is a product of polyester blend that offers a soft-plush feeling. In addition to this comfort, thermogel was infused into this cover to make it cooler and retain this coolness.

Comfort Layer (Soft)

The first layer after the cover begins with the soft side. It’s a 3″ copper memory foam. This layer is sheer soft so it allows you to sink in and contour you afterward.

With copper infused into this layer of memory foam, it creates an extra cooling effect and owing to the antimicrobial properties of copper, you are free of bacteria while you enjoy your sleep. The copper also provides variable support in points where you have deep compression.

Transition Layer

This transition layer is made of a 2″ HD foam. This layer is responsible for the interaction between the soft layer and the firm layer of the mattress.

Support Base

At the base of this mattress is the support 4.5″ foam. It is much firmer and it’s a HD polyfoam. Usually, the mattress layers end here at the base but we still have the firm side since it’s a 2-in-1 flippable mattress.

Comfort Layer (Firm)

On the flip side of this mattress is the firm layer which is 1″ in height and is also a copper-infused memory foam but a lot thinner and firm.

N/B: Both firm and soft options come with motion isolation implying that the movement of your partner on the bed while you are fast asleep does not affect you in any way.

Layla Hybrid

The Layla Hybrid features same construction. Two firmness options, all you have to do is flip to get your desired firmness.

This mattress is made up of 5 layers with the pocketed coils making the real difference and the zipper cover of course.

The details

Feature Rich Cover

The cover of this hybrid mattress is rich in features. From being removable with a zipper to being made from a combination of polyester, lycra and viscose, it’s one feature-packed irregular cover. All these contribute to making it super cool.  It’s highly breathable, soft and assures the sleeper of cool sleep.

Comfort Layer (Soft)

As usual, the soft side in a flippable mattress is the first layer. This soft side is a 2.5″ copper-infused memory foam just like it’s other all-foam counterpart.

The copper in the mix caters for bacteria protection with it’s anti-microbial properties. It makes the mattress extra-cool by zapping heat away.

It also contours the body in a slow responsive style and adds to ease pressure from relevant points where it’s needed.

Transition Layer

Underneath this soft layer is the transition layer which is a zoned 2″ polyfoam that serves as the bridge between the soft side and the firm side. This transition layer is firm which is needed for the transition role it plays.

Support Layer

This support layer makes all the difference and the major reason why this mattress is termed hybrid.

Stealing a sizable portion of the entire mattress, it’s 6″ high in pocketed coils covered in foam.

All the bouncy and floating feeling is supplied from this layer. The coils add extra comfort and coolness equally.

Base Support

This layer is usually the last but for the flippable nature of this mattress, it finds itself in this position. It’s a 1.5″ zoned polyfoam and the thinner version of the zoned polyfoam above it.

Comfort Layer (Firm)

The flip side layer is the firm one which is a 1.5″ copper-infused memory foam. It sits at the bottom so you could just flip it over and get down to the firm side of things.  It is thinner than the soft side which is normal.

IdleSleep Mattresses8.9

Idle Hybrid

Typical of Hybrids, this mattress comes with support coils and foams in one excellent mix. The construction of this mattress is in five active layers.

Details

Thermocool Cover

The plush white cover overlaying the first layer is a thermocool fabric that is sensitive to temperature and adjust to suit the body’s needs. This implies that, when the climate is hot, the cover feels cool and when the climate is cool,  feels warm.

Beneath this cover is a fire-proof barrier. This barrier is made without any petroleum-based nylon or polyester. Like its name, it’s a shield for the mattress against fire accidents.

Contouring Foam

The first layer begins with an inch of Idle contouring foam which is weaved into the cover for redefined comfort and plushness.

Buoyancy Foam

This buoyancy foam is exclusive to Idle. It’s a 2″ cooling foam reputed for responding faster than the average memory foam. It also triples as a pressure relief and support foam while helping to facilitate a cooler sleep.

Transition Layer Support Foam

An inch of transition foam acts as a support base and the bridge between the upper layers and the coils beneath down to the core.

Pocketed Coils

6″ of individually pocketed quantum edge-to-edge coils provide massive support and isolates motion transfer. This means that the movement of your partner on the mattress won’t interrupt your beauty sleep.

These coils also provide edge support ensuring that you are comfortable on the edges and don’t feel like sliding off.

Carry Handles and Flip Side

All Idle mattresses come with double sides, you can flip and obtain the same layer. And then there’s a handle to encourage easy carriage.

Idle All Natural Latex

For lovers of all-natural products, this one fits the bill. It comes in two variants – the Dunlop Latex and the Talalay Latex. The idle latex mattress which is also a hybrid mattress features a 5-layer construction.

Details

Premium Cover and Yarn Rosettes

The cover takes the lead on the all-natural style. Eco-friendly organic cotton wraps the entire construction and is breathable for maximum air flow.

In the stead of glues, double button tufting mild yarn rosettes grip the layers of this mattress in one piece. This option proves to be durable than glue.

And to set things in motion for optimal comfort, this cover has an inch of natural wool quilted into it for additional comfort and plushness. This wool also doubles as a fire-proof barrier.

Pure Latex Layer

Here, the natural Talalay (this will be Dunlop if Talalay wasn’t your choice) latex provides 3″ of support. It features an open-cell technology for breathability. It also comes with anti-microbial properties and is naturally hypoallergenic. This translates to healthy sleep.

Transition Support Layer

This layer serves as the bridge between the upper and lower layers of this mattress. It balances the tension on both layers.

Pocketed Coils

Over a thousand smart support coils rising up to 6″ provides reinforced support for this mattress and limit the effect of motion transfer.

These coils also provide edge-to-edge support so you don’t roll and skid off the mattress onto the floor.

Carry Handles and Double Side

Typical of all Idle Mattresses is the double-side feature. This is made to prolong the lifespan of the mattress. When you’ve enjoyed one side for a while, you can flip to the other side and continue from where you stopped in the pleasant sleep experience. Handles ensure hitch-free handling.
