EcoSleep Hybrid Mattress Review

Despite its responsive design, the EcoSleep Hybrid Mattress still offers moderate motion isolation.

While the Talalay latex comfort layer is naturally buoyant, organic wool batting cushions the surface and reduces some transfer of movement. Each coil in the support core is also individually encased, which helps prevent motion from transferring between coils.

Our testers evaluated motion isolation by lying on the EcoSleep Hybrid while a kettlebell was dropped on the opposite side of the bed. We also had pairs of testers move around the surface to simulate sharing the bed with a partner. Our testers barely noticed a bed partner’s minor position changes, but they did feel some movement when the other tester tossed and turned.

Given these results, many sleepers may not notice a sleep partner’s movements on this bed. However, sleepers who wake up easily and share their bed with an active sleeper might experience disruptions at night.

The EcoSleep Hybrid Mattress provides notable pressure relief.

The wool gives the surface a plush feel, while the 3-inch Talalay latex layer cradles your body and spreads your weight evenly across the surface. Talalay latex tends to be softer than Dunlop latex, which enhances the bed’s pressure-relieving qualities. The pocketed coil core also has a responsive feel that gently compresses under the heavier parts of a sleeper’s body, reducing pressure buildup.

Pressure relief is usually a high priority for side sleepers, and our side-sleeping testers over 130 pounds found the EcoSleep Hybrid well suited for this position. Their hips and shoulders received ample pressure relief without excessive sagging, and the comfort system distributed their weight evenly enough to reduce pressure buildup. Back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds also reported experiencing little to no pressure point discomfort.

Thanks to its breathable construction, the EcoSleep Hybrid retains minimal heat.

The cotton cover and wool batting are naturally breathable, which helps keep the surface at a comfortable temperature. The wool also acts as a natural temperature regulator by wicking away moisture to keep you dry. Additionally, perforations in the latex layer allow heat to escape while the coil system promotes strong air circulation in the core.

We used a thermal camera to detect temperature changes and found minimal heat retention after our testers moved away from the surface. Our team members reported a neutral temperature throughout the mattress evaluation.

While many hybrid mattresses offer sturdy edges, the EcoSleep Hybrid stands out in this category. The 3-inch latex layer prevents sleepers from sinking in too deep. Since the perimeter of the coil system in the support core is reinforced, the surface maintains a relatively even plane when weight is applied directly to the edge.

All of our testers felt comfortable sitting and lying along the perimeter of the bed. Those over 230 pounds noticed the compression a bit more than other testers, but they still felt secure enough to use the full mattress surface.

Most sleepers should be able to use the entire mattress without feeling unstable, which may be particularly beneficial for couples and anyone who frequently uses the edges of the bed.

With its latex comfort system and bouncy coil core, the EcoSleep Hybrid Mattress is highly responsive.

The Talalay latex has a buoyant feel that gently adapts to your body without the degree of sinkage that can inhibit movement. When you change positions, the latex springs back to its original shape so that there’s no lingering body impression to restrict movement. The coils further enhance the springiness and facilitate ease of movement. With the mattress’ medium firm feel, most sleepers won’t sink in deeply enough to experience inhibited movement.

Everyone on our team found the EcoSleep Hybrid easier to move on than the average mattress model. Those over 230 pounds sank in a little more, which made position changes marginally more difficult, but overall we recommend the EcoSleep Hybrid Mattress to anyone looking for a mattress that’s easy to move across. This includes active sleepers and those with mobility issues.

Mattress-related off-gassing odors are usually the result of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced in the manufacturing of synthetic foam. Since the EcoSleep Hybrid does not contain foam, it will not emit any VOC off-gassing odors.

Our testers reported that the EcoSleep Hybrid Mattress had a slight rubbery odor when they first unboxed it. They noted that the smell completely dissipated after 24 hours in a well-ventilated room.

The mattress holds GREENGUARD Gold and eco-INSTITUT certifications, which verify that the mattress meets strict emissions criteria.
