Layers Of The EcoSleep Hybrid

1. Cotton cover: The cotton cover of the EcoSleep Hybrid is made of sustainable Joma™ wool and 100 percent organic cotton, providing you with a breathable and natural material on both sides of the mattress.
2. 1.5’’ total latex comfort layer: The plush top layer of sustainably sourced and 100% natural latex allows for comfortable contouring.
3. 1.5’’ total latex support layer: The second latex layer relieves pressure points while maintaining proper spine alignment.
4. 6’’ Ascension® individually encased coils: 961 individually encased Ascension® coils provide motion isolation and deep compression support.
5. 1.5’’ firm total latex: This firmer layer of 100% natural latex is available on the other side of the mattress for a firmer sleep experience.

Mattress Prices and Sizing

The EcoSleep Hybrid is available from $899 to $1,499, depending on the mattress size. The options range between all six standard sizes of mattress, Twin to California King. If you are looking to customize your bedding further, Brooklyn Bedding produces made-to-order custom sizes of mattresses.

Despite its enticing hybrid and natural materials, the EcoSleep Hybrid provides competitive pricing against other mattresses that offer fewer features. For many, sustainable lifestyle purchases are often associated with doling out more cash, but such is not the case with a long-term investment such as the EcoSleep Hybrid. Brooklyn Bedding often provides valuable deals on various products, including the EcoSleep line, making it possible to obtain an even better deal than the already sensible full price. The EcoSleep Hybrid is both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Mattress performance

Motion isolation and ease of position changing

The EcoSleep Hybrid allows for changing positions thanks to the bounciness of the 6-inch coil core. This mobility means that you won’t sink into the mattress and get “stuck” in your sleeping position, and switching sleeping positions is easy on both sides of the mattress.

However, the bounciness of the mattress also means it will have a small amount of motion transfer. Latex has less contouring than memory foam, meaning that some of the motion experienced in one part of the mattress will transfer to others.

Couples who share a bed should be mindful of the motion isolation capabilities of a mattress. For most, the motion isolation of the EcoSleep Hybrid is appropriate for most couples. It will allow them to avoid most major sleep disturbances throughout the night if one person often changes sleeping positions during sleep. The EcoSleep Hybrid may not be your top choice if you or your sleep partner are awoken easily due to moving during the night. You may be more comfortable with a different Brooklyn Bedding mattress that performs better with regards to motion isolation.

Pressure Relief

The latex foam layer on the medium side of the mattress provides a quick response to pressure, while the innerspring coils offer extra cushioning. The latex layer’s bounciness allows for moderate pressure relief for the user and provides a dense feel. The firm side of the hybrid mattress offers a 1.5-inch thick layer of latex that reduces its ability to deliver effective pressure relief, so those seeking pressure relief would likely benefit more from the medium side.

For those not looking for high-caliber pressure relief, the EcoSleep Hybrid will provide sleepers with comfortable sleep and proper spinal alignment. If you seek deep cushioning for your shoulders and hips, the latex layer of the EcoSleep Hybrid is there to meet your needs.

Temperature Control

The EcoSleep Hybrid excels in temperature control since its latex layers do not retain heat like foam materials. Its bounciness allows for proper air circulation and keeps the temperature cool for sleepers. The wool and organic cotton cover aid in this temperature maintenance thanks to their breathability and natural cooling properties. Hot air does not stay in and around the inner coils, unlike other mattresses. The EcoSleep Hybrid is an excellent option for sleepers who run hot and lose out on quality sleep. If you live in a warm climate or don’t have AC during the summer months, the EcoSleep should be at the top of your list.

Edge Support

The edge of the EcoSleep Hybrid is strong and supportive, thanks to the latex material. You can easily withstand sitting or sleeping on the edge of the bed without feeling like you will roll off. The 961 Ascension® coils of the inner mattress provide excellent support and durability around the entirety of the bed, including the edges. The coil layer has Higher gauge coils along the perimeter to allow for better edge support. The hybrid nature of the mattress means that the firmer side will provide better edge support than the medium side since it is slightly more rigid.

Off-gassing and smell

Those who have purchased the EcoSleep Hybrid report no chemical smell following unboxing. This can be attributed to the lack of materials typically at a high risk of off-gassing such as polyurethane foam, polyester, nylon, and glues. The sustainable and natural materials used in this mattress contribute to the lack of chemical smell often reported with other types of mattresses, such as memory foam. Any odors you notice will likely fade within a few days of opening.

Sleeping Style and Bodyweight

Apart from consideration for your budget and commitment to sustainability, plenty of individual factors determine your compatibility with a prospective mattress. Your sleeping style and bodyweight will influence how comfortable you find the EcoSleep Hybrid. They are integral considerations to ensure you purchase the best fit for your habits.

Slide Sleepers

Side sleepers will benefit from the EcoSleep Hybrid if they prefer moderate cushioning for their shoulder and hips instead of pushing into the bed. The latex material does not allow the shoulder and hips to sink deeply into the mattress on either side’s firmness. Suppose you are a side sleeper who prefers a mattress with some gives on those high-impact areas. In that case, you may want to look into a softer mattress – but if you sleep on your side, prefer some durability, and are not overly concerned with pressure relief, the EcoSleep Hybrid could still be an excellent choice for you. Individually wrapped coils in the mattress core provide enough bounce and support for side sleepers to minimize pressure and maintain a healthy sleeping position for the spine.

If you are a side sleeper weighing over 230 pounds, the firm side of the EcoSleep Hybrid would be an excellent choice as it will prevent your body from sinking into the mattress. The medium side will allow for solid support and more contouring if you are under 230 pounds.

Back Sleepers

The EcoSleep Hybrid can provide back sleepers with great support and proper spine alignment. Back sleepers benefit greatly from durable sleeping surfaces that equalize pressure across the body and don’t allow for uneven dipping throughout the mattress. Not only can the EcoSleep provide this ideal surface, but its light contouring due to the latex layer comfortably accommodates the natural curve in the lumbar spine and torso.

You can select the firmness of the mattress depending on your weight. Back sleepers weighing over 230 pounds will likely find the firm side more comfortable, but either side could be ideal for those under 230 pounds depending on their preference.

Stomach Sleepers

The EcoSleep Hybrid can meet the comfort expectations of most stomach sleepers. Often, stomach sleepers find that their stomach area will sag into the mattress and place undue pressure on the spine. You can imagine that a soft mattress with heavy contouring may not be the best option for stomach sleepers. Similarly, you can see how a firm mattress like the EcoSleep Hybrid can provide excellent support for those who prefer to sleep on their stomach. The EcoSleep’s latex material is a better option than many foams on the market to preserve proper spine alignment in stomach sleepers. The coils allow for some bounciness that prevents the user from sleeping on too hard of a surface.

If you’re a stomach sleeper, you will probably choose the firm side of the EcoSleep. However, if you are under 130 pounds, the medium side may provide you with more comfort, depending on your preference.

3rd party certifications

The EcoSleep Hybrid is certified by the Rainforest Alliance. The latex used in this mattress has been sourced from a farm audited for compliance with sustainable agricultural practices. This makes the EcoSleep Hybrid an excellent option for diligent, sustainable consumers who want proof of a company’s claim of ecofriendliness.
