Founded in 2017, Avenco is an online direct-to-consumer company specializing in mattresses and bedding accessories. They offer 24-hour customer service, a 100-night sleep trial, and a 10-year limited warranty.
Avenco produces four different models: the Starry Memory Foam, the Silence Memory Foam, the Zone Hybrid, and the Original Hybrid. The Starry Memory Foam Mattress is suitable for those who want a low-profile mattress. The Silence Memory Foam Mattress is designed to sleep cooler than the average foam mattress with open-cell foam and breathable mesh panels. The Original Hybrid Mattress combines memory foam with pocketed coils for contouring and pressure relief.
We’ll take a closer look at the Avenco Zone Hybrid Mattress. Like Avenco’s Original Hybrid, the Zone Hybrid includes layers of foam and coils. It stands out with an upgraded five-zone pocketed coil core. We’ll discuss other aspects that set the Zone Hybrid apart to help you determine if it’s the right fit for you.

Is the Avenco Zone Hybrid Right for You?
Use the filters below to see how well the Avenco Zone Hybrid lines up with your unique needs. We'll also give you a couple other recommendations based on your answers.
TEST LAB RATINGS
How the Avenco Zone Hybrid Scored
Motion Isolation5.5/10
The Avenco Zone Hybrid Mattress reduces some motion transfer, due to the memory foam comfort layer and individually wrapped coils. Memory foam responds to pressure and returns to its original shape slowly, which helps prevent movements from spreading across the bed.
Hybrids with pocketed coils also tend to be better at isolating motion than standard innerspring mattresses, as the coils react independently to pressure. The Zone Hybrid minimizes bounce and absorbs movement to a minimal extent, which could result in sleep disturbances if you or your partner tend to move around.
If you are easily disturbed by your partner’s movements, however, you may prefer a memory foam mattress instead of a hybrid.
Pressure Relief6.0/10
With two layers of foam, the Zone Hybrid provides adequate pressure relief for most sleepers. Latex and memory foam typically excel at relieving pressure points as they conform to the shape of the body, helping to cushion areas like the hips, shoulders, and knees.
The Zone Hybrid combines pocketed coils with layers of moderately conforming foam. As a result, it offers more contouring than traditional innerspring mattresses.
Side sleepers typically require the strongest pressure relief, as the hips and shoulders press into the mattress and benefit from additional contouring. Side sleepers who weigh more than 130 pounds will likely benefit the most from the pressure relief of the Avenco Zone Hybrid Mattress, while those who weigh less may not experience as much cushioning.
Temperature Control6.5/10
The Avenco Zone Hybrid Mattress regulates temperature and helps keep sleepers cool throughout the night.
Memory foam can often retain heat due to its density, but the Zone Hybrid utilizes gel-infused memory foam that is engineered to draw heat away from the sleeper.
The coil support core is also designed to dissipate body heat, and the modal blend cover allows ample airflow.
Edge Support6.5/10
The Avenco Zone Hybrid performs well when it comes to edge support. Its five-zone pocketed coil core reinforces the perimeter more than models made entirely of foam or latex.
Stronger edge support reduces sinkage when getting on and off the mattress. Edge support is also beneficial if you share the bed, as it increases the amount of usable surface area. If you tend to gravitate toward the edges of the bed, the reinforced perimeter provides stability.
Ease of Movement6.5/10
The Avenco Zone Hybrid performs well when it comes to edge support. Its five-zone pocketed coil core reinforces the perimeter more than models made entirely of foam or latex.
The Zone Hybrid is highly rated when it comes to ease of movement. Unlike designs made only with memory foam, the Zone Hybrid’s 8-inch coil support core provides bounce when shifting positions. This responsiveness, coupled with a medium firm rating, means that you won’t sink into the mattress too much. This makes it easier to change positions and move around on the mattress as needed.
Who it Fits
Fit by Sleep Position and Body Weight
Sizes, dimensions and weights
Side Sleepers
Side sleepers typically do well with mattresses that are between medium and medium firm, with at least some degree of contouring. This combination of support and contouring helps to relieve pressure points on the shoulders and hips. The Zone Hybrid is particularly suitable for side sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds. It’s firm enough to support their joints, encourage proper spinal alignment, and prevent too much sinkage. This model isn’t as suitable for side sleepers over 230 pounds, as it may not provide enough support for the shoulders and hips. Side sleepers generally prefer the 12-inch model due to its thicker comfort system.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers typically prefer a mattress that is rated between medium and firm, though body weight can affect preferences. The Zone Hybrid is considered to be an excellent choice for back sleepers under 130 pounds, as its medium firm rating provides plenty of support for the back while gently contouring to the shape of the body. Back sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds may sink too deeply into the mattress, and may prefer a firm mattress instead.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers generally prefer a firmer mattress. This helps prevent the stomach from sinking too deeply into the mattress, which puts unnecessary pressure on the lower back and can press the spine out of alignment. A softer mattress may be too conforming for a stomach sleeper, which can feel restrictive.
That said, stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds may find a firm mattress to be uncomfortable, as it puts pressure on the chest, ribs, and stomach. The Zone Hybrid has an average rating for stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds.
