Floyd Mattress Review

The memory foam comfort layer of the Floyd Mattress helps it isolate motion better than some hybrids. Memory foam responds to pressure and is slow to return to its original shape when pressure is removed. This allows it to absorb motion and prevent it from transferring across the bed.

In addition to the memory foam comfort layer, the Floyd has pocketed coils that respond independently to pressure. As a result, the Floyd Mattress isolates smaller movements relatively well, like tossing and turning or changing sleep positions.

That said, the coils add bounce to the mattress, so some motion transfer is possible. Larger movements like getting in and out of bed are more likely to be felt in other areas of the mattress. This could cause sleep disturbances for light sleepers who share the bed with a partner.

Due to its moderately conforming memory foam layer, the Floyd Mattress offers impressive pressure relief.

Memory foam is known for its pressure-relieving properties. The memory foam comfort system of the Floyd Mattress cushions the shoulders, hips, and back and reduces tension. The hybrid construction prevents sleepers from sinking in excessively and supports spinal alignment.

Since the Floyd Mattress is firm, it is most beneficial for those who weigh more than 130 pounds and sleep on their stomachs or backs. It doesn’t conform as closely as an all-foam mattress, so sleepers are more likely to feel like they are sleeping “on” rather than “in” the mattress.

For side sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds, the mattress may not be soft enough. Pressure points are more likely to develop at the shoulders and hips for these sleepers.

Hybrid mattresses generally regulate temperature well and the Floyd Mattress is highly rated in this category. Each layer of the Floyd Mattress prevents heat retention and helps regulate temperature.

The Tencel lyocell cover is breathable and lightweight. This allows air to flow throughout the mattress. Copper and graphite in the memory foam comfort layer are highly conductive. This means they draw heat away from the body. Coils add airflow and dissipate heat.

Since the Floyd Mattress is firm, it does not conform as closely to the shape of the body as softer memory foam would. This ensures air can circulate around the body. As a result, the Floyd Mattress is a good choice for hot sleepers who want a memory foam hybrid.

The Floyd Mattress has firmer perimeter coils for reinforced edge support. Robust edge support is to be expected from most hybrid mattresses, and the Floyd is on par with similar models. It offers better edge support than a foam mattress.

The reinforced perimeter ensures sturdy, consistent support from edge to edge. Those who sleep near the edge of the mattress should feel supported. The firm coils prevent the feeling of rolling off the bed.

That said, memory foam compresses easily. This is most noticeable when sitting on the edge of the bed. However, since the Floyd Mattress has high-density polyfoam and coils beneath the memory foam, it springs back to shape when pressure is removed. These elements should prevent sagging along the edges.

The Floyd Mattress offers above-average ease of movement for a memory foam bed, due in part to the high-density polyfoam transition layer and the coil support core. Mattresses with softer memory foam comfort layers are more likely to restrict movement.

Pocketed coils add bounce to the Floyd Mattress, which makes it easy to change positions as needed. The high-density polyfoam prevents sinking in and feeling restricted by the memory foam comfort layer. While the memory foam is slower to respond, the layers beneath help facilitate movement.

This is beneficial for combination sleepers, as it makes it easy to shift sleeping positions throughout the night. It is also an important consideration for couples.

Hybrid mattresses are often preferred by couples. The Floyd Mattress is highly rated for sex. The springy coils make it easy to change positions as needed. The mattress also has top-notch edge support, allowing couples to use the entire surface area of the bed.

As with any hybrid mattress, there is a potential for noise from the coils. This is minimized in the Floyd Mattress, since each coil is pocketed. Layers of high-density polyfoam above and below the coils also reduce noise and make the Floyd more discreet.

The memory foam used in the Floyd Mattress offers traction without restricting movement. Additionally, the non-slip bottom cover keeps the mattress from shifting.

Off-gassing is often caused by the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This is common in mattresses that use synthetic foams. The Floyd Mattress is CertiPUR-US certified, meaning it is low in VOCs.

That said, there is some off-gassing when the mattress is first unboxed. This odor is amplified because the mattress is compressed and vacuum-sealed for shipment.

Any initial odor is not considered harmful and should dissipate within a few days. The coils in the Floyd Mattress allow air to circulate throughout the mattress. Keeping the bedroom well-ventilated will also help.
