Motion isolation refers to a mattress’ ability to prevent one sleeper from disturbing another when moving in bed. Some hybrid mattresses transfer motion due to their coil cores.
With 2 inches of gel-infused memory foam and 2 inches of latex-like polyfoam, the Zoma Hybrid Mattress does a good job of absorbing vibrations. This moderately thick comfort system should minimize motion transfer across the surface and dampen vibrations emanating from the bouncy coil system.
However, sleepers who awaken easily may find the mattress slightly too springy to eliminate motion transfer as completely as they’d like. Hybrid mattresses with thicker comfort systems and all-foam models, including the flagship Zoma Mattress, often excel in this area.

Zoma Sleep specializes in sleep products meant to enhance recovery in athletes and people with active lifestyles. In addition to pillows, foundations, and sheets, the company currently offers two mattress models: the Zoma Hybrid Mattress and the Zoma Mattress, the company’s flagship all-foam model.
Both mattresses contain gel-infused memory foam and responsive polyfoam within their comfort systems. While the mattresses are similar in construction, they have some key differences.
The Zoma Hybrid Mattress includes a pocketed coil support core with a polyfoam base rather than the flagship model’s polyfoam core, making the Zoma Hybrid bouncier and more breathable, but less conforming. With a medium firm (6) feel, the Zoma Hybrid Mattress is also firmer than the flagship model. Additionally, it comes at a slightly higher price-point, which is standard for hybrid mattresses.
We’ll examine the Zoma Hybrid Mattress’ construction, performance, materials, and price, and summarize Zoma’s warranty coverage and shipping and return policies to help you decide if it’s the best option for you.

Side Sleepers
Because their hips and shoulders tend to put more pressure on a mattress than the rest of their bodies, side sleepers usually prefer a model with notable contouring that allows their curves to sink in without sagging.
With a medium firm (6) feel, the Zoma Hybrid Mattress is likely to conform exceptionally well to side sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds. The 2-inch memory foam comfort layer and the 2-inch polyfoam transition layer should cradle their hips and shoulders, while the zoning in the comfort layer helps promote good posture.
The mattress should also be comfortable for most side sleepers who weigh under 130 pounds, but some may notice pressure buildup around their hips and shoulders. Individuals who weigh over 230 pounds may need a firmer mattress to support the spine. Their hips and shoulders could sink too deeply into the Zoma Hybrid, potentially straining the lumbar region.
Back Sleepers
Most back sleepers prefer a moderately firm mattress to keep their spines aligned. They need adequate lower back support, so a mattress that’s just soft enough to conform to this region is often ideal. The Zoma Hybrid’s 2-inch zoned memory foam comfort layer should gently cradle the spine, while its responsive transition layer and coil core limit sagging.
For back sleepers under 130 pounds, the Zoma Hybrid Mattress offers decent support and contouring. However, its medium firm (6) feel may be too firm to adequately conform to the shape of the spine.
While many back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds will sleep comfortably on the Zoma Hybrid, some may not experience an optimal balance of support and contouring. Those on the lower end of this weight range may not receive enough cradling, and individuals on the higher end could sink in too much around their hips, putting pressure on the lower back.
The hips of individuals who weigh over 230 pounds are likely to sag more significantly. Back sleepers in the weight group may prefer to opt for a firmer model for extra support.
Stomach Sleepers
Regardless of weight, stomach sleepers typically need a relatively firm mattress that supports their midsections. Otherwise, the stomach can sink into the center of the mattress and pull the spine out of alignment, which puts pressure on the neck and lower back.
Stomach sleepers under 130 pounds should get enough support from the Zoma Hybrid Mattress. As a medium firm (6) model, it is likely to be firm enough to align the spine yet soft enough to alleviate pressure.
For stomach sleepers over 130 pounds, the Zoma Hybrid Mattress may not offer adequate support. Stomach sleepers in this weight range may find that their hips and stomachs sink too deeply into the mattress, putting a strain on their lumbar region.

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.
Zoma Hybrid Mattress Review Breakdown
The Zoma Hybrid Mattress uses three layers of foam and a coil core.
On top, a 2-inch comfort layer of perforated, gel-infused memory foam is designed to cradle the body while allowing heat to escape. This layer is also zoned for targeted pressure relief and spinal support. Underneath, 2 inches of Zoma’s proprietary Reactiv polyfoam acts as a transition layer. This latex-like material is engineered to enhance the contouring and respond quickly to movement without allowing sleepers to sink in too deeply.
The Zoma Hybrid Mattress’ core consists of 7 inches of individually pocketed coils resting on a 1-inch polyfoam base. The coils give the bed a springy feel, and air circulates between them to dissipate heat. Sturdy polyfoam wraps around the perimeter of the layer to provide extra support for those who like to sit or sleep close to the edge of the bed. The bed is encased in a polyester-spandex blend cover designed to wick moisture and allow airflow to keep the surface cooler and drier.
This model has a medium firm feel (6) that falls within the range most sleepers prefer. Side sleepers, in particular, should enjoy a good balance of contouring and support. However, stomach sleepers who weigh over 130 pounds and back sleepers over 230 pounds may need a firmer surface to keep their spines in a neutral position.
At 12 inches, the Zoma Hybrid Mattress is slightly thicker than the brand’s all-foam model. Standard sheets should fit, but some owners may prefer deep pocket sheets, especially if they use a mattress topper or a thick mattress pad.

Mattress Prices and Sizing
Hybrid mattresses are typically more expensive than innerspring and all-foam models due to their unique combination of conforming comfort layers and supportive coil cores. Compared to other hybrid models, the Zoma Hybrid Mattress is affordably priced. Frequent discounts can lower the price even further.
The Zoma Hybrid Mattress is available in all six standard mattress sizes, as well as split king.
