Side Sleepers 

The Honey Hybrid is a medium firm mattress that has a thick comfort system that offers pressure relief for many side sleepers. However, its performance varied widely in our tests based on the sleeper’s body weight. 

The side sleepers on our team who weigh under 130 pounds reported that their hips and shoulders were a little sore after sleeping on this model due to its medium firm (6) feel. Those between 130 and 230 pounds sank more deeply into the latex and microcoil layers for noticeable contouring. However, they still reported some pressure buildup. 

The best mattresses for heavyweight sleepers, particularly those who sleep on their side, tend to be medium-firm. The latex cradled our testers in this weight group without letting them sink too deeply into the mattress. The microcoils further adapted to each sleeper’s body shape to decrease the impact on pressure-prone areas. 

Back Sleepers 

Back sleepers across weight groups may find the Honey Hybrid comfortable, but its combination of pressure relief and spinal support is generally best for those between 130 and 230 pounds. The wool cushions the surface, while the latex and microcoils mold to the lumbar area to promote healthy posture.

The Honey Hybrid Mattress may be a bit firm for some back sleepers under 130 pounds and a bit soft for some over 230 pounds. Testers within these weight groups still found this model a decent choice, but it didn’t strike the perfect balance of comfort and support. 

Stomach Sleepers 

Overall, this mattress is a worthwhile choice for stomach sleepers, who often struggle to find a mattress with adequate support. The latex and microcoil layers have enough give to prevent the surface from feeling hard, but they also limit sinkage and sagging that could otherwise jeopardize spinal alignment. By keeping stomach sleepers atop the mattress, the Honey Hybrid helps ensure that their spines stay on an even plane throughout the night. 

During testing, our team members under 230 pounds reported an appealing blend of cushioning and support. Those over 230 pounds liked the mattress but noted that they would have preferred a slightly firmer feel for more midsection support.

Mattress Performance

In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.

Motion Isolation

6/10

The Honey Hybrid Mattress’ combination of latex, microcoils, and pocketed coils creates a responsive surface rather than isolating motion. 

The springs in both its microcoil layer and core are individually wrapped, cutting down motion transfer to an extent. However, sleep partners may still notice vibrations on their side of the bed when the other person moves. 

This resilient quality is typical for mattresses with latex and coils. These models are designed to provide bounce, so they rarely absorb movement as well as all-foam beds.

Pressure Relief

6.5/10

The wool, latex, and microcoil comfort system offers mid-range pressure relief well suited to most sleepers over 130 pounds.

The wool and latex cushion the body to prevent pressure buildup, though they don’t offer the deep cradling of memory foam. The microcoils are engineered to respond to your shape and position, absorbing impact and redistributing weight. 

That said, the comfort layers don’t completely adapt to your body’s shape, so there is some potential for pressure point discomfort. This is especially true for side sleepers under 130 pounds since they don’t weigh enough to compress the material significantly.

However, this model may be a good fit for those seeking a balance between contouring and pushback.

Temperature Control

8.5/10

People who sleep hot should maintain a relatively comfortable temperature on the Honey Hybrid Mattress. Our testing team reported that this model felt cool, and our temperature readings showed very little heat retention. This is thanks to the hybrid construction and breathable materials. 

The wool comfort layer helps wick away moisture and regulate surface temperatures. Small holes in the latex layer are designed to allow air to escape, reducing heat buildup. Air circulates throughout both coil systems to further control the temperature.

The Honey Hybrid’s temperature regulation is well above average and should be sufficient for all but the hottest sleepers.

Edge Support

7.5/10

Thanks to its sturdy core and reinforced perimeter, the Honey Hybrid’s edge feels at least as secure as the average hybrid model. This mattress’ pocketed coil support core uses durable tempered steel with thicker coils along the sides for additional support. 

Our team noticed very little perimeter compression when getting in and out of bed. The surface’s consistent edge-to-edge support is beneficial for sleepers who use the entire mattress. It’s also helpful for those with limited mobility.

Ease of Movement

8.5/10

Our testers found it quite easy to move around on the Honey Hybrid due to its latex and coil construction. 

Latex comes from the same trees that produce rubber, and it has a similarly buoyant quality. The material also compresses evenly, preventing sleepers from sinking too far into the mattress. This combination of responsiveness and support makes it easy to move around on top of the Honey Hybrid. 

The microcoil comfort layer and pocketed coil support core also add bounce, further facilitating movement. If you want a sleep surface that makes it easy to change positions, the Honey Hybrid Mattress is an excellent pick.

Off-Gassing

8.5/10

Off-gassing refers to trace chemicals that release from a mattress after it’s unsealed and set up. The process often produces a chemical-like smell that some people find unpleasant. 

The Honey Hybrid doesn’t include synthetic foam, which is typically responsible for off-gassing smells. Instead, it uses natural materials that are unlikely to off-gas in the truest sense of the term. While the Honey Hybrid may have a very faint rubbery smell due to the natural latex, it should dissipate quickly.

Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid Mattress Breakdown

The Honey Hybrid Mattress from Sweet Zzz has a medium firm feel that ranks as a 6 out of 10 on our firmness scale. It has five total layers for a combined height of 13 inches. Many of its materials are organic or sustainably sourced, and it holds Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), USDA Organic, Climate Neutral, and eco-INSTITUT certifications. 

The mattress has a quilted cover made from organic cotton for breathability and softness. Next, a layer of organic wool acts as a natural fire barrier while adding cushioning and wicking away heat and moisture.

Two layers make up the bulk of the comfort system. The first is a 1-inch layer of GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex that relieves pressure while responding quickly to movement. Its rubber-like resilience contours to the sleeper’s body and springs back to its original shape quickly when they move, giving the surface a somewhat bouncy feel. 

Beneath the latex, 4 inches of pocketed microcoils redistribute weight to help prevent pressure points. Each coil also responds individually to weight variations, making this an excellent surface for couples with different body types or preferred sleep positions. 

An 8-inch pocketed coil system serves as the support core. These tempered steel springs are individually wrapped and reinforced at the edges for stable support across the full mattress surface. The final layer is a thin wool and cotton blend that anchors the mattress and increases durability.

Mattress Prices and Sizing

The Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid is very competitively priced given its materials and construction. Hybrid mattresses and latex mattresses are generally more expensive than all-foam and innerspring models. This is especially true of those that include organic materials.

Despite its GOLS-certified organic latex comfort layer and dual-coil design, the Honey Hybrid falls within the average price range for hybrid models. Given its quality materials and construction, we also expect the model to have a longer-than-average lifespan.

While the price may be out of range for shoppers on a tight budget, it’s an excellent option for those looking for a reasonably priced, high-quality bed made with natural materials. SweetZzz makes this model in six sizes: twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king.

Sizes Dimensions Height Weight Price
Twin 38″ x 75″ 13″ N/A $1,299
Twin XL 38″ x 80″ 13″ N/A $1,399
Full 54″ x 75″ 13″ N/A $1,499
Queen 60″ x 80″ 13″ N/A $1,599
King 76″ x 80″ 13″ N/A $1,999
Cal King 72″ x 84″ 13″ N/A $1,999
