Pros & Cons

Mattress Construction

The Latex for Less Hybrid Latex is 12'' thick. It has a cotton cover on top of wool and latex layers and a coil system. What distinguishes the medium firmness model from the firm model is the density of their latex layers with the former having a 4.3 to 5.3 PCF medium dense latex and the later having high density 5.3+ PCF latex. 

Cover: Stretched (not woven) plush and breathable organic cotton fabric.

Top Layer: 1" of moisture wicking organic wool functioning as a natural fire barrier. 

Comfort Layer: 3'' organic Dunlop latex providing pressure relieving bounce.

Support Layer: 8'' individually fabric-encased coil generating lift and curbing excess sinkage. 

Feel

The Latex for Less Hybrid Latex's soft cotton cover and upper wool layer give a gentle silk-like feel at the point where the body meets the mattress. The breathable cotton and wool wick away warm air and moisture keeping the surface of the mattress cool and dry even after long hours of sleep.

The latex in the medium firmness model is more elastic compared to the firm model. It provides moderate sinkage enabling it to mold to the shape of the body enhancing comfort. The coils below generate a counter-force making sure sleepers won't sag too deeply into the mattress.

The latex in the firm model is more resilient providing stronger bounce. It forcibly pushes the body upwards. Together with the support delivered by the coils, it makes sleeper feel highly stable on the mattress. 

Pressure Relief

Side sleepers weighing up to 250 pounds require a relatively soft mattress to cushion their hips and shoulders. The Latex for Less Hybrid Latex's medium firmness model with its supple medium density latex layer will mitigate pressure in these sensitive areas. The coils will elevate these sleepers' spine keeping it properly aligned.

Side sleepers heavier the 250 pounds won't be supported enough by the medium firmness model. They'll suffer from excess sinkage around their hips. The firm model is better equipped to handle their more massive body.

The Hybrid Latex's medium firmness model works well for light and average weight back sleepers. The elastic Dunlop latex in its comfort layer will target their lumbar and thoracic back alleviating pressure. The coils will make sure their entire spine remains straight enabling them to maintain a healthy position throughout the night.

As in the case of heavyweight side sleepers, back sleepers whose weight exceeds 250 pounds will sink too deeply into the mattress lying on the medium firmness model. To prevent discomfort and pain, they should opt for the more supportive firm model.

The Hybrid Latex's medium firmness model will meet the comfort needs of lightweight stomach sleepers. Its softer and cushier latex will pad their abdomen reducing pressure. The coils will lift the area under their rib cage allowing their spine to rest in a neutral position.

Stomach sleepers whose weight goes beyond 150 pounds will need a more robust mattress to avert excess sagging around their waistline and hips. The Hybrid Latex's firm model is built to support heavy weights, so it'll be up to the task.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation isn't the Latex for Less Hybrid Latex's strong point. Its latex comfort layer is much more responsive than foam (either poly foam or memory foam) and so tends to transfer much of the kinetic energy generated by sleepers' movements across the mattress. The coils are individually encased and so have lower capacity for motion transfer compared to traditional innerspring systems. However they still vibrate when compressed. The motion they transfer doing that isn't well absorbed by the bouncy latex above them.

The medium firmness model isolates motion better then the firm model due to being more sinkable, yet both models aren't the best choice for sleepers who tend to be disturbed every time their partner tosses and turns. These sleepers should opt for foam-based mattresses, which can better isolate motion.

Repositioning

The Latex for Less Hybrid Latex's springy Dunlop latex in the comfort layer and the supportive 8'' coils generate strong lift allowing sleepers to adjust their positions with very little effort. The medium firmness model causes more sinkage than the firm model, but this sinkage isn't that significant compared to the more contouring memory foam mattresses. XL sleepers may feel a bit constrained lying on the medium firmness model, but sleepers weighing less than 250 pounds won't be stuck in bed and their mobility won't be hampered.

Edge Support

The Latex for Less Hybrid Latex's firm model has better edge support than the medium firmness models especially when it comes to heavier sleepers. Yet both models have stable edges. Their buoyant Dunlop latex prevents sagging around the exterior. The bouncy support delivered by the coils further reinforces the perimeter.

Practically speaking, The Hybrid Latex's stable edges enable sleepers to lie away from the center and still feel secure. The result is that they'll enjoy a larger sleep surface.

Heat Retention

As can be expected from a latex and coil mattress, the Latex for Less Hybrid Latex regulates temperature well. The breathable cotton cover and wool layer provide excellent sweat-wicking keeping sleeper's body dry, especially in humid areas. The Dunlop latex layer doesn't cradle the body as memory foam does, so it retains much less heat. The coils, on their part, facilitate air circulation significantly aiding in cooling the mattress.

The Latex for Less Hybrid Latex fits the majority of the platform beds, including adjustable bases, you'll find on the market on condition that they're supportive enough to cope with its weight.
