Idle Sleep Review

Idle Sleep presents three types of mattresses that you can choose from, all equipped to give you a fantastic night's sleep. Depending on the type of sleeper you are — side, back, or stomach — you'll have your choice of feel, resistance, and construction to help drive your decision. With this flexibility, you'll find yourself sleeping on a mattress that is tailored to your sleeping style, giving you the power to snooze happily.

One of the most significant advantages of an Idle mattress is that specific models are double-sided, meaning you can get more life out of your mattress by flipping it over when needed. By doing this, you can take the pressure off certain foam materials and give both sides time to recover. As one of the few hybrid mattresses that are capable of this, you can depend on your mattress for longer while also benefitting from a feel that's like-new each time you flip over your bed.

What are the Different Types of Idle Mattresses?

Ranging from all-foam to hybrid, Idle offers three unique mattress constructions along with two luxury versions of the Idle and latex models.

• The Idle Gel Foam: A gel memory foam mattress made with technology that keeps you cool as you sleep. The Idle pairs this with a responsive Buoyancy Foam that snaps back into place after use to prevent impressions or "sinkholes" from forming. As a sleeper, you get added support that isn't lost in too-soft foam, and as a consumer, you save money over time with a gel foam mattress that lasts longer.
  
  The Idle is made with all-foam layers and is constructed solely for use on one side. On the firmness scale, The Idle is considered medium to luxury firm, still serving up cloud-like softness while giving you contoured support as you sleep.
  

• The Idle Gel Plush: Adding 2" to the profile of the original Idle, the Gel Plush has a softer feel. You'll feel like you're living a life of luxury with the plushness of this mattress, thanks to the Ice Fabric cover with gel sewn into the quilted surface. Compared to the Idle Gel, the Gel Plush uses more gel technology to give you an even cooler night while showcasing a softer comfort level that benefits combination and side sleepers.

• The Idle Hybrid: Ranked as the bestseller of the Idle line, the Hybrid's design includes everything needed to be a sleep hero. Intended for sleepers who need pressure relief, reviewers praise this mattress for its ability to relieve back pain along with its overall comfort. One thousand smart support coils are in between layers of Idle's proprietary Buoyancy Foam, which has 400% more support than typical memory foam.
  
  The Hybrid is layered symmetrically from the ground up, using the same levels of foam under the coils as it does above the coils. Because of this, you can flip the Hybrid and use both sides, adding years of life to your mattress by allowing any pressure points to dissipate.
  
  Sleepers can expect a medium to luxury firm feel with the Hybrid, and you can choose which softness level you prefer. For anyone who is looking for a softer comfort level, you'll likely find that this is too firm for you.

• The Idle Latex: Just like the Idle Hybrid, the Idle Latex gives the mattresses increased longevity due to its double-sidedness. The mattress' construction is symmetrical, meaning that you'll get the same feel on either side of it.
  
  The eco-friendly latex mattress is handmade and infuses latex and 100% organic cotton into the mix. Similar to the build of the Idle Hybrid, the Idle Latex is more sustainable and also provides more bounce to the feel of the bed. In comparison to the Idle Hybrid, the Idle Latex uses latex in place of foams, allowing for an even cooler sleep experience. Sleepers also prefer latex because of its inherent antimicrobial qualities, keeping allergens away.
  
  The Idle Latex comes in Dunlop Latex and Talalay Latex, the differences falling on the way you sleep and the type of feel you want. The Dunlop is denser and offers more support, which is ideal for back and stomach sleepers. The Talalay Latex, a slightly more expensive option, feels softer and airier, providing more pressure relief, and is an ideal choice for side sleepers.
  
  If you always battle with feeling too hot while you sleep, the Idle Latex is the best option you have to keep temperatures down. Its hybrid construction, along with latex layers, helps sleepers stay cooler than other Idle mattresses.

What are Idle Mattresses Made Of?

Each Idle mattress has its own proprietary design, but you can count on them all using CertiPur-US foams. No toxins are released in the manufacturing of these mattresses, which in turn keeps the mattresses from off-gassing any odors. The Idle Latex uses Natural Organic Cotton as well as Natural GOLS Certified Latex, being the most eco-friendly option of the Idle line.

Who is an Idle Mattress For?

Each model sold by Idle Sleep is created with coolness in mind, keeping sleepers from feeling overheated while they're in a deep slumber. They've approached the mattress process differently, keeping their standards high with their prices low.

Idle Sleep stands out in that they have created high-quality beds in both the all-foam and hybrid markets, giving them the ability to lean into a comprehensive understanding of the construction behind both designs.

Heavier body types will find the luxury firm support to provide the exact feel that might be lacking in other foam mixes, whereas lightweight side sleepers can find their perfect match with the Idle Gel Plush model. Back and stomach sleepers will soon see an improvement in any lingering back pain, thanks to the supportive model of the Idle Hybrid.

While you can find an Idle mattress for just about any sleeping position, sleepers who crave a softer feel will find that their options are limited when it comes to Idle Sleep options. The model that comes closest to a softer feel is the Idle Gel Plush mattress. 

Where are Idle Sleep Mattresses Made?

Idle mattresses are made in the USA, with factory partners located in South Carolina and Illinois. With this in mind, shipping is quicker, with the mattresses getting shipped (for free) in a matter of days.

What is the Idle Sleep Home Trial Period?

The longest in the mattress industry, Idle Sleep offers an 18-month home trial with every mattress purchase. Along with this, each mattress comes with a Lifetime Warranty, which also includes conditions such as impressions and "sinkholes" in the mattress. The company wants to give you a mattress that keeps you from feeling like you've sunk into a trench, so they've backed that promise up with a hefty warranty.

How Can I Get an Idle Mattress?

Even with the Hybrid construction, each Idle mattress is compressed and rolled into a box for shipment, making mattress delivery as easy and convenient as possible. You can order from your computer and have a new, incredible mattress in just a few short days.

If you want even more convenience, you can also choose the White Glove Delivery. A delivery person will then help unbox and move the mattress to wherever you want in your house.
