FAQs About Natural and Hybrid Mattresses
Are natural mattresses better than hybrids?
It depends on your needs. Natural mattresses are more breathable and eco-friendly, while hybrids offer contouring pressure relief at a lower price point.
Do hybrids last as long as natural mattresses?
Both are built to last, but natural fillings like wool and cotton can improve durability with proper care.
Which is cooler: natural or hybrid mattresses?
Natural mattresses are typically cooler thanks to breathable fibres. Hybrids can feel warmer because of memory foam layers, though they’re excellent for pressure relief.
