You should know what’s in your mattress and feel good about what you paid for it. That’s why we share our materials, keep the choices simple, and give you a full year to decide.
Foam for cushioning. Springs for support.
The Boring Hybrid has a cushioned surface with medium-firm support underneath. Here’s what goes into it.
Room for your shoulders and hips
Responsive foam cushions pressure points and springs back as you move, so it’s easy to change positions.
Space for heat to escape
A breathable knit cover, open-cell foams, and a coil base let air move through the mattress.
Support across the bed
Individually wrapped coils respond to your body. Foam around the edges adds support when you sit or sleep near the side.
Give it a year. Make yourself comfortable.
