Hybrid mattresses boast all the benefits of a pocket sprung mattress with the added luxury of an in-built memory foam, gel, or latex topper. Offering a seamless fusion of comfort and support, you’ll wonder how you every survived without one. Plus, we have every size and comfort rating to ensure every sleeper can find the best hybrid mattress for your needs too.
A hybrid mattress features a combination of pocket springs and a top layer of memory foam, gel, or latex. So, rather than choosing just one mattress material; you can benefit from the support provided by the pocket springs, while enjoying the added luxury of a plush mattress sleep surface.
If you're on the hunt for a new mattress, there’s always a reason. Whether you struggle to sleep due to a lack of support; suffer frequent sleep disruptions due to being too hot, too cold or just downright uncomfortable; or are upgrading because the timing is right, a hybrid mattress is rarely a bad idea.
The main benefit of a hybrid mattress is the premium comfort. The additional layer of memory foam, latex, or gel creates a barrier between the pocket springs and your sleep surface. This enhances your comfort and you should experience sleep coming easier in the not-too-distant future.
A hybrid mattress could also be the ideal choice for anyone suffering from back or joint pain. This is because pocket sprung mattresses are designed to react to movement. Pocket springs also minimise transference. So, a hybrid mattress delivers targeted support as the cushioned layers of memory foam, gel, or latex relieve your pressure points.
Co-sleeping with a partner? You’ll probably find that one of you isn’t quite as comfortable on a mattress as the other. Or maybe you’ve had your sleep disrupted due to transference? Well, hybrid mattresses aim to resolve all of these issues. By combining the support of pocket springs (which have been developed to move independently as you move) with the added layer of cushioning, you should both be able to lie back and enjoy the benefits. What’s more, hybrid mattresses also reduce roll together. So, no more disrupted sleep patterns due to motion transference or feeling too hot and sweaty.
Hybrid mattresses are also great for all sleep positions. And your preferred sleep position should be one of the key driving forces when considering which type of mattress is right for you. The combination of materials in a hybrid mattress offers the correct support levels for side, front, and back sleepers.
And hybrid mattresses don’t stop there either! If you’re a hot sleeper, you probably find memory foam mattress very uncomfortable. This is because memory foam tends to retain heat which can lead to you being too hot during the night. But pocket sprung mattresses are designed to ensure that air can flow through. So, it stands to reason that by combining the two materials, your temperature will be much better regulated throughout the night.
Memory foam mattresses have cemented themselves as one of the most popular mattress types around right now. And that’s not without reason. Given that memory foam moulds to the contours of your body as you sleep, this type of mattress boasts luxurious comfort.
But memory foam mattresses aren’t ideal for everyone. Many of us prefer the sturdiness a pocket sprung mattress provides. With this in mind, hybrid mattresses pose the ideal solution. Especially in cases where partners are in a quandary over whether to choose pocket springs or memory foam and one person prefers one option while the other is in favour of the alternative.
Our collection of hybrid mattresses features fusions of pocket springs paired with memory foam, gel, and latex. So, go with what best suits your needs and comfort ideals. There are also a range of firmnesses to consider with options spanning from soft to extra firm. When choosing your ideal mattress, refer to our [bed and mattress buying guide](/guides/ bed-buying-guide/) for some additional advice on what to think about.
At Bensons, we like to be as inclusive as possible so that we can appeal to the needs and wants of every customer. With this in mind, all of our mattress types are available in different firmness ratings. This extends to our memory foam mattresses too
A soft hybrid mattress is a perfect for those lightweight side-sleepers. And by lightweight, we mean those little ones in your life too. This makes a hybrid mattress in soft an great option for parents shopping for a new mattress for the kids.
Medium hybrid mattresses (or medium-firm hybrid mattresses) are great for adult side-sleepers that are average in height and build. [Medium mattresses](/mattresses/ shop-all-firmness-ratings/medium/) give enough resistance to ensure you stay properly supported while you sleep. But – perhaps more importantly – they are soft enough on those pressure points (i.e. your hips and shoulders) to keep you comfy throughout the night.
If you sleep on your back or your front, a firm hybrid mattress could be a perfect fit. Firm mattresses deliver a firmer support, helping to keep your spine correctly aligned during the night. Heavier side sleepers may also find that they benefit from the extra support provided by a hybrid mattress in firm comfort too.
Whether you just love a really firm mattress, regularly wake up with aches and pains, or are larger in build, an extra firm hybrid mattress might better align with your wants and needs.

Hybrid mattresses are available in a range of sizes, from single to super king. So, whatever size you’re looking for, we’ll have options to consider.
When it comes to mattress size, there are three questions you need to ask yourself. These are:
Here’s a brief reminder of the different mattress sizes and who they’re best for:
Single hybrid mattresses. Single mattresses are 90cm wide x 190cm long (or 3ft x 6ft3”). They’re designed to sleep one adult comfortably. If you’re looking to buy a single hybrid mattress, there are loads of different designs for you to choose from here.
Small double hybrid mattresses. Small double mattresses offer a more spacious sleep for teens or adults sleeping solo, or a compact sleep solution for two. Our small double hybrid mattresses measure 120cm x 190cm (or 4ft x 6ft3”).
Double hybrid mattresses. Double mattresses are one of the most popular mattress sizes in the UK. A double hybrid mattress provides enough room for two adults to sleep comfortably and measures 135cm in width x 190cm in length (or 4ft6” x 6ft3”).
King size hybrid mattresses. As sleep awareness rises, many couples are making the switch from double to the more spacious king size. A king size hybrid mattress is 150cm wide, and 200cm long (or 5ft x 6ft6”). This extra 15cm of mattress width, and 10cm in length provides more space to spread out.
Super king hybrid mattresses. Super king mattresses are about as big as it gets in the UK. A super king hybrid mattress measures 180cm in width x 200cm in length (or 6ft x 6ft6”). This gives two adult sleepers enough space to spread out as they please and sleep comfortably night after night.
If you’re looking for a hybrid mattress that ticks all those boxes that are necessary to ensure you’ll get a great night’s sleep, budgeting can be tricky to do. But at Bensons, we are trying our best to make a great night sleep is accessible to all.
