Firmness Info

A soft mattress and a firm mattress in one. Our signature flippable firmness™ means you have two choices in one mattress to find the right fit for you. One side of the mattress has a soft, plush feel, or you can flip it over to the other side for a firmer, even more supportive feel. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 1 being the softest, The Layla Hybrid scores a 4 out of 10 on the soft side and a 7 out of 10 on the firm side. Add the Layla Topper™ to any side to soften up those numbers even more.

We make one model of mattress that is designed to be universally comfortable and medium firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. We like to describe it as firm enough to be supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable!
We've designed our foam to work with those who like soft mattresses as well as those who like firm, so we encourage everyone to give us a try regardless of your usual preference. If you're not 100% satisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The Layla Hybrid has five layers:

  • Soft side: 2.5" Copper-Infused Memory Foam (Density: 3.5lbs, ILD: 12)
  • Soft side: 2" Layla Tri-Zone-Airflow™ Transition Layer - Open-cell Polyurethane Foam with Surface Modification Technology (SMT) (Density: 1.65lbs, ILD: 23)
  • 6" Layla Infinity Edge™ Spring System
  • Firm Side: 1.5" Layla Tri-Zone-Airflow™ Transition Layer - Open-cell Polyurethane Foam with Surface Modification Technology (SMT) (Density: 1.65lbs, ILD: 40)
  • Firm Side: 1" Copper-Infused Memory Foam (Density: 3.5lbs, ILD: 12).

Two-layer blended foam designed by and proprietary to Tuft & Needle:

  • The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties. The density is about 2.8 lbs/cubic ft.
  • The support foam layer is 7" of a high-density poly-foam. The density is about 1.8 lbs/cubic ft.

Comfort Info

Amazing comfort for all sleeping positions - with the Variable Support properties of copper infused memory foam, combined with two unique comfort options in one mattress, the Layla Hybrid truly addresses the needs of side sleepers, back sleepers and stomach sleepers.

Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress.
Heat Wicking
Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body.
Breathable
With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress.
No More Quicksand
Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply.

Support Info

Flip it to the side that feels best for you. Softer and more plush, the soft side of the Layla Hybrid Mattress is great for those who prefer a little hug from your mattress. The firm side offers less sink and increased support for a more traditional firmer feeling mattress.

Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot.

Comfort Specs

Copper-infused foam transfers heat away from your body faster, resulting in a much cooler sleeping experience. And because copper is naturally anti-microbial, the copper gel in this mattress will form an antimicrobial barrier that resists odor causing bacteria and keeps you sleeping fresh.
Surface Modification Technology (SMT) shapes are cut up to half an inch deep for added support, airflow, and pressure relief.

Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam
We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.

Support Specs

Memory foam infused with copper reacts under body weight with a firming response. This response is called Variable Support and unlike traditional memory foam, it provides increased support at deep compression areas.
The tri-zone layers provide more support in the center of the mattress (for hips and shoulders).
High quality American-made 14 gauge central springs are individually wrapped in fabric so you get individual support for every inch of your body. The springs move independently so when your partner moves around your side of the bed stays put allowing you to sleep soundly through the night. A double coil perimeter in the two outermost rows using 16 gauge coils make for superior edge support.

Supportive Base Layer
Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress.
Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.

Fabric Specs

Our super-soft high quality thick fabric allows for a comfortable sleeping experience and is removable for easy cleaning and maintenance (Fabric: 66% Polyester, 30% viscose, 4% poly lycra). If you're going to flip a hybrid mattress, you need to get a handle on it. We've taken care of that for you too!

Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.
