Idle Sleep Mattress Review

Here are several relevant and useful comments from buyers considering or have already purchased Idle Sleep Mattress.

• User 1: "After a ton of research and reading glowing reviews, my husband and I purchased an Idle Sleep hybrid mattress in March 2021. By the beginning of November 2021, we realized that the back pain both of us have been experiencing is likely due to this mattress. It was never a terribly comfortable mattress, but we thought, "Okay, give it some time." The dang thing is already sagging. On top of that, this mattress DOES NOT breathe. One of the reasons we bought this mattress was the 18-month trial period. So we hopped on the computer to start the return process and realized to our shock that Idle Sleep apparently no longer exists. The company's website is down, the phone number doesn't work, and the internet is full of angry consumer reviews. This was not a cheap mattress, and now we're stuck with it. It's infuriating."

• User 2: "I decided not to detail my experience as it is basically the same as others. This company is a scam. Mattresses are not as described, but more importantly they do not stand behind any of their policies beyond the sale. I too “returned” my mattresses to find Idle will no longer respond to any communication. They shut down chat and have no number listed. I filed with BBB and they never got a response from Idle."

• User 3: "I purchased my mattress in May 2021 & didn't take me long to realize it was of poor quality. It made my back pain worse & begin showing indentations in mattress after 2 months. I have sent multiple emails without response! Their phone number "no longer valid" & so is their online chat. Have yet to get speak with someone or receive a response from them per email. They're fraudulent! Feel taken advantage of & would not recommend to anyone!!"

COMFORT OVERVIEW
Comfort, feel and overall firmness for Idle Sleep mattress is extremely subjective.

Firmness isn't the only factor to consider when you're mattress shopping.

Choosing the right bed starts with figuring out how your body responds to lying at different angles.

It's important to understand how a mattress relieves pain and distributes pressure on your sensitive points (neck, shoulder, upper back, lower back, arms, hips, legs), as well as how it feels for couples and sex.

COMFORT SUMMARY
Firmness is very subjective and greatly differs between two people. What's firm for you might be extremely soft for someone else.

Be cautious about reviews that make definitive claims about how you'll feel sleeping on a mattress.

Before they closed, Idle Sleep was a flippable mattress.

Depending on which side you slept on, it was medium (5/10) or luxury firm (6-6.5/10).

Since they're no longer available, the closest firmness and comfort you'll find is from top mattresses like Saatva Classic.

EDGE SUPPORT
Idle Sleep is a discontinued brand. If you want a mattress with similar (albeit better) edge support, see Saatva Classic.

Note: If a mattress uses low-quality materials, it might feel supportive at first, but break down quickly.

Inadequate edge support means less sleep surface (which is not desirable, especially if you sleep with a partner).

SIDE SLEEPERS
• Your shoulders, hips and torso must evenly distribute support if you sleep on your side. Otherwise concentrated pressure causes long term nerve and pain-related issues.
• Before Idle Sleep shut down, side sleepers did well on the 'medium' side of Idle Sleep mattresses (since it's flippable).

BACK/STOMACH SLEEPERS
• When you sleep on your back & stomach, your biggest concern should be finding a mattress that keeps your hips from sinking too far in. This knocks your spine out of alignment.
• Idle Sleep's firm base of foam and pocketed coils promotes proper spinal alignment as you sleep on your stomach and back. This means a more even and balanced sleep.

Here are a few facts about Idle Sleep mattress construction:

• Type - hybrid innerspring, hybrid latex and memory foam
• Design - pillow-top
• Bed in a Box? - yes
• Height - 14"
• Weight (Queen) - 130 lbs

Their primary layers include:

• Cover - quilted with 1” of contouring foam & thermacool
• Comfort Layer - foam
• Transition Layer - foam
• Support Layer - pocketed coils
• Other Notable Specs - none

Note: A taller and heavier mattress typically (but not always) indicate better quality.

Support refers to how long the W Hotel mattress lasts over a reasonable expectation of 7-10 years (average mattress lifespan).

Motion transfer refers to the amount of disturbance you'd experience from one side of the mattress to another. Motion transfer is important for couples, especially if your partner tosses & turns (most do).

Idle Sleep is a discontinued brand. If you want a mattress with similar (albeit better) edge support, see Saatva Classic.

Inadequate edge support means less sleep surface (which is not desirable, especially if you sleep with a partner).

MOTION TRANSFER

Motion transfer measures how much movement changes between sides of the bed. You'll need a motion-isolating mattress if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns at night. Less motion means better sleep.

Idle Sleep's top latex layer isolates motion okay. The material can absorb some small movement spikes when you or your partner moves. You only need to worry about this if you are a very light sleeper.
