The Layla original is one of the most popular flippable mattresses on the online market, and for good reason. Thankfully, they’ve since released a hybrid version to the well-received Layla Mattress, which offers the same versatile flippable design with a supportive innerspring core. Therefore, if you’re a heavier sleeper or somebody who is willing to spend the extra money on a more durable mattress, this one’s for you. Keep reading for our Layla Hybrid review to find out all there is to know about the mattress. We picked the Layla Hybrid as one of our Best Mattress for Side Sleepers and Best Overall Mattresses for 2022.
The Layla Hybrid is similar to the Original Layla mattress in many respects; however, it also differs in several areas as well. Here’s a short video explaining the key points you need to know about this flippable hybrid mattress.

People on a limited budget Strict back and stomach sleepers that want a firm bedWe hope the video above gave you a good idea of what to expect with the Layla Hybrid. As always, we’ve compiled a more detailed review below in case you want additional information.
Mattress Feel and Firmness
Firmness
It’s essentially a memory foam feel, but not your standard deep, dense memory feel like you’d find with the Nectar mattress, for example. Instead, it has a lighter, airier feel to it that our team here finds make it quite a comfortable bed.
As you lay down on the soft side, you’ll sink a little and feel the top memory foam layer contour and conform to your body’s shape. On the firm side, you sleep more on top of the bed, but you can definitely still feel the memory foam below. We think the soft side garners the same medium-soft rating on the firmness scale, and the firm side is a medium-plus firmness rating.
Pressure Relief
We think the soft side of this mattress especially will be a good amount of pressure relief, especially for side sleepers. The firm side may be a little too firm for some side sleepers but would provide a good amount of pressure relief for back sleepers especially.
Temperature
It does contain copper-infused foam to help draw heat from your body, but we wouldn’t consider the Layla Hybrid Mattress to be a cooling mattress. However, the bed does do a decent job of regulating heat, so we don’t think you’ll warm up either. Instead, other factors like what type of pajamas you wear, the climate you live in, and the insulation in your home will play more of a role in how warm or cool you sleep.
Layla Hybrid Mattress Two-Sided Design
All in all, the Layla Hybrid is composed of five different layers that total 13” thick. Below you’ll find a short summary of the different layers within the Layla Hybrid, starting with the soft side facing upwards.
- Copper Infused Memory Foam – Acts as the proper comfort layer for the soft side of the bed. It’s 2.5” thick.
- Max AirFlow Foam – Serves as a transition layer for the soft side. This layer is divided into three sections. The top and bottom portions are designed to be more forgiving under your shoulders and legs. The middle portion is a little firmer to provide more reinforcement under your lower back and trunk. This layer is 2” thick.
- Pocketed Coils – Combine to form the primary support structure for the mattress. The coils are 6” in height.
- Max AirFlow Foam – Same foam described above, except it’s 0.5” thinner. This is the transition layer for the firm side.
- Copper Infused Memory Foam – Just like the comfort layer on the soft side, except it’s only 1” thick.
Like the Original Layla, the Hybrid is also double-sided and flippable, which helps differentiate it from competing beds on the market like the ones listed in the section above. One side of the bed is plusher, and the other side is designed to be slightly firmer for support.
Layla Hybrid Cover
Wrapping the various layers of coils and foam is a soft and breathable charcoal-colored cover that is removable. The cover even comes equipped with handles to make moving and rotating the bed super easy. Keep in mind, although the cover is technically removable, it is not machine washable. If you have an accident and it somehow gets dirty, you should spot clean the area using a damp cloth and mild, safe detergent. This is how you clean the covers on the majority of bed-in-a-box mattresses, so it’s nothing out of the ordinary.
Is Layla Hybrid A Good Mattress For Couples?
There are always two topics that couples, in particular, will want to pay special attention to when shopping for a new mattress. We’re referring to the motion isolation and edge support.
Edge Support
Edge support refers to how well the perimeter of a mattress holds up against pressure. Couples will want a bed that does not compress around its edges so that both individuals can spread out and utilize the entire surface area of the mattress.
We think edge support definitely checks out on this mattress. Learn more about edge support and how we judge it on our blog.
Motion Isolation
Motion isolation relates to how well a bed is able to deaden the movement that transfers from one side of the bed to the other after one person rolls over, gets up to use the restroom, etc. In simple terms, the better your mattress is at dampening movement, the less you’ll be disrupted, which should translate to a more restful night of sleep.
Luckily, the Layla Hybrid Mattress isolates motion well, and we don’t foresee couples having any issues with the bed.
Sleeper Type Analysis
We’ll keep this section brief because we think the Layla Hybrid is a good option for all types of sleepers. That’s one of the benefits of going with a double-sided, dual firmness mattress. If one side is too soft or firm, the opposite side will likely suit your needs.
Body Type Analysis
Layla Hybrid Price & Discounts
As you would expect, the Layla Hybrid costs more than the Original model. After all, it’s the more premium mattress, so this shouldn’t be a big surprise. Below is a breakdown of the MSRP by size.
| SIZE | PRICE (MSRP) |
|---|---|
| Twin | $1,299 |
| Twin XL | $1,399 |
| Full | $1,599 |
| Queen | $1,699 |
| King | $1,899 |
| Cal King | $1,899 |
Compared to the average three-layer foam mattress in a box, the Layla Hybrid might seem expensive, but in reality, it’s actually on par with other premium coil mattresses like the Casper Hybrid, Leesa Hybrid and Tuft & Needle Hybrid, especially after applying a coupon code.
Speaking of coupon codes, Layla likes to offer discounts, so it wouldn’t shock us if you end up paying less than $1,500 for a queen size when all is said and done. In most cases, you can usually expect to receive at least $150-$200 off the Layla Hybrid come checkout. Be sure to check the green box on your screen for current pricing and promotions.
Layla Hybrid Final Verdict
The Layla Hybrid is one heck of a mattress. It’s one of our favorite memory foam beds. It’s comfortable, supportive and we like its double-sided design. If you’re a memory foam fan, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more functional and accommodating bed.

With that said, the Layla Hybrid is not going to be perfect for everyone out there. Obviously, if you’re on a budget (less than $1,000) or you dislike the feel of memory foam, it’s not going to work. Additionally, if you’re the type of person who prefers firm beds over soft ones, it’s likely not the best option either. Thanks for visiting our Layla Hybrid Mattress review.

Layla Hybrid vs Layla Original Comparison
By this point, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that the two Layla mattresses are similar in many respects, most notably feel, firmness and appropriate sleeping positions. In our opinion, there are really only a few key differences.
The Layla Hybrid uses 6” pocketed coils for its support structure. The Original Layla uses a 4” support core foam. The Layla Hybrid also uses a transition layer for its firm side, making it slightly more forgiving than the firm side of the Original model. Lastly, the Layla Hybrid is 3” thicker. Those are the three main differences in terms of design.
The Layla Hybrid is about $500 more expensive than the Original model, depending, of course, on discounts and the size you’re looking for. Bottom line, if money is tight, the Original model is the clear winner. Though, if you’re a larger individual, we’d recommend going with the Layla Hybrid due to its coil construction.
Layla Hybrid vs. Casper Wave
Let’s start by looking at the price differential between these two. It certainly isn’t as large as between the Layla original and Layla Hybrid, but there is a difference. The Casper Wave is clearly more expensive, and while it’s only $250 more for the twin size, that jumps up to a $1,150 difference for the king/cal king mattress. That’s enough of a difference to buy an entire mattress in some cases!
The Casper Wave has five layers with a zoned support design, and at 13”, it is billed as one of the thickest online mattresses, but the Layla Hybrid is right there, also composed of five layers and coming in at 13” thick.
In terms of feel and firmness, the Casper Wave falls right in the middle of the firmness scale, while the Layla Hybrid brackets that with a soft side that falls softer than the Casper mattress and a firm side that falls firmer than the Casper mattress. And since the Casper Wave falls right in the middle of the firmness spectrum, it works well for all types of sleepers, as does the Layla Hybrid mattress.
