Launched in 2014, Floyd began as a minimalist home essentials brand with a focus on high-quality furniture and hardware. The company has since expanded its product line to include shelving, bed frames, tables, lighting, and other home goods. Each product is crafted with sustainability in mind.
Recently, the company debuted the Floyd Mattress, a hybrid bed with a memory foam comfort layer and a pocketed coil support core. Available at a below-average price point for a memory foam hybrid, the Floyd utilizes copper and graphite infused memory foam to regulate temperature, with zoned coils that offer full-body support.
The benefit of a hybrid mattress is that it combines elements from two different mattress types: foam and innerspring. This gives sleepers the best of both options while minimizing any drawbacks, both relieving pressure and provides ease of movement for sleepers.
We’ll review the pricing, sizing, and construction of the Floyd Mattress. We’ll highlight verified customer feedback and offer insight into what sleeping positions and body type would benefit from the mattress. To help shoppers decide if the Floyd Mattress is the best choice for them, we’ll also include an overview of company policies, including shipping and returns.
The Floyd Mattress has a hybrid construction with memory foam and pocketed coils. It has a 10-inch profile, which is considered average for a mattress.
The mattress is only available in one firmness option. The medium firm rating of the Floyd is considered to be a 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale. There is memory foam in the comfort system that cradles sleepers, but high-density polyfoam and supportive coils prevent sinking in excessively. As a result, sleepers will not feel the full-body hug typically associated with memory foam.
The cover of the Floyd Mattress is composed of polyester and Tencel lyocell. It is breathable and naturally hypoallergenic. Beneath the cover is two inches of memory foam, infused with both copper and graphite. These materials draw heat away from the body and prevent it from building up in the mattress. This helps the Floyd Mattress sleep cooler than traditional memory foam mattresses. The comfort layer conforms to the shape of the body, which relieves pressure.
The one-inch transition layer of high-density polyfoam helps reduce motion transfer from the coil base. It also keeps sleepers from sinking deeply into the mattress. This layer is durable and supportive.
The support core of the Floyd is six inches of pocketed coils. There are more than 1,000 coils in the base, each of which responds individually to pressure. This minimizes motion transfer. The base is zoned, with a firm perimeter for added edge support. This helps prevent sagging over time. The coils add bounce to the mattress for ease of movement. This base also increases the amount of airflow throughout the mattress, which helps dissipate heat.
Another one-inch layer of high-density polyfoam sits beneath the support core, stabilizing the coils and minimizing motion transfer. There is a non-slip bottom cover to keep the mattress in place on the bed frame.
All of the foams used in the Floyd Mattress are CertiPUR-US certified. The mattress is manufactured in the United States.
The Floyd Mattress has a hybrid construction with 4 layers, including memory foam, high-density polyfoam, and pocketed coils.
70% polyester, 30% Tencel lyocell
2” copper-infused memory foam
1” HD transitional polyfoam
6” pocketed coils
1” HD polyfoam
The Floyd Mattress is inexpensive compared to similar memory foam hybrids. While the average hybrid mattress costs between $1,500 and $2,000, the Floyd mattress is a more affordable option for shoppers.
The average mattress has a lifespan of six to eight years, and we expect the Floyd Mattress to last this long. The mattress uses high-density polyfoam and supportive coils to prevent sagging over time.
The Floyd is available in standard sizes twin through king. The mattress is not currently offered in a California king size. Each size has a 10-inch profile.
| Sizes | Dimensions | Height | Weight | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Twin | 38" x 75" | 10" | 67 lbs. | $795 |
| Twin XL | 38" x 80" | 10" | 71 lbs. | $895 |
| Full | 54" x 74" | 10" | 90 lbs. | $995 |
| Queen | 60" x 80" | 10" | 106 lbs. | $1095 |
| King | 76" x 80" | 10" | 132 lbs. | $1195 |
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 medium 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 medium 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 hybrid, 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.
Side Sleepers: Side sleepers benefit from close-conforming mattresses, as they prevent pressure from building up at their shoulders and hips. That said, sinking too far into the mattresses will cause spinal mis-aslignment. The Floyd Mattress balances comfort and support for side sleepers that weigh more than 130 pounds.
Those who weigh less than 130 pounds are likely to find the Floyd Mattress is too firm. This can cause pressure points to develop at the shoulders and hips. Side sleepers in this weight category often prefer a medium soft mattress.
Side sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds should find the memory foam comfort layer relieves pressure by cradling the body. The polyfoam transition layer and supportive coil base help keep the spine aligned.
Those who weigh more than 230 pounds and sleep on their side benefit the most from the Floyd Mattress. The contouring memory foam cushions their shoulders and hips. Though sleepers in this category often benefit from a higher-profile mattress, the Floyd Mattress offers ample support. The high-density polyfoam and coil base keep sleepers from sinking in too deeply.
Back Sleepers: Back sleepers maintain a natural posture. Those who sleep in this position will benefit from the responsive memory foam and supportive coil base of the Floyd Mattress. The hybrid construction evenly distributes body weight. Memory foam conforms to the shape of the body and supports the lumbar region for back sleepers, while the coils help keep the spine aligned.
Back sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds will experience less contouring on the Floyd Mattress, but should still feel fully supported. Some may prefer a softer surface, but most back sleepers in this weight category should find the Floyd Mattress to be a good fit.
Those who weigh between 130 and 230 sink into the memory foam comfort layer enough for pressure relief and lumbar support. The high-density polyfoam transition layer prevents sinking in excessively.
For back sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds, the Floyd Mattress is a good choice. The coil base provides ample support.
Stomach Sleepers: A firm mattress ensures proper support for the hips and abdomens of stomach sleepers. This reduces pressure on the lower back and helps keep the spine aligned. The Floyd Mattress balances comfort and support for stomach sleepers.
The memory foam comfort layer cushions the shoulders and chest, while the polyfoam and coil layers support the lower half of the body. This is beneficial for stomach sleepers of all weights.
Those who weigh less than 130 pounds should find the memory foam conforms enough to prevent pressure from building in the upper half of the body.
The Floyd Mattress is also highly rated by stomach sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds.
Those who weigh more than 230 pounds should feel supported due to the high-density foam and sturdy coils. That said, some stomach sleepers in this category may prefer a firm (7-8) mattress instead.
| Under 130 lbs. | 130-230 lbs. | Above 230 lbs. | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Side Sleepers | Fair | Good | Excellent |
| Back Sleepers | Good | Excellent | Good |
| Stomach Sleepers | Good | Excellent | Good |
