I’ve been lurking here for a bit and greatly appreciate the knowledge and feedback shared. Plus, folks discussing their perspectives with humility and civility. What a gem of a place! Kudos!

My husband and I are sleeping on the decades old (I know, I know), firm Serta coil mattress that we bought (used! I know, I know!) when we were young and broke. Now, we’re less young and less broke. A few weeks ago, I almost smothered my poor sweetie with my pillow when his twitches falling asleep woke me up from a dead slumber. I’ve decamped to the guest bedroom, and we (well, I) decided it was time to get a new mattress.

ME:

  • 5’6", 140-145 lbs
  • I try to sleep on my back, but often end up on my side
  • Potential for pressure point discomfort on outsides of hips
  • Prefer soft to medium
  • Tend to sleep warm (I’m a 42-year old woman, I suspect this will get worse in the coming years!)
  • Motion isolation/dampening is CRITICAL

HUSBAND:

  • 5’11", 170-175 lbs
  • Starts night on side, sometimes shifts to back
  • Athletic, sometimes has a hard time “settling” at night, restless
  • Prefers medium to medium-firm, cannot sleep on anything too mushy

We went to a mattress showroom yesterday. Decided we want a hybrid mattress, medium softness, with excellent motion dampening that sleeps cool (or at least doesn’t sleep warm), for no more than $2500 after taxes/shipping/etc, with a trial period (ok if there is a return fee), that feels somewhat like the mattresses described below.

The Grand Hybrid (Titanium, I think?) by Spring Air in medium was the best safe choice, but I could still feel more motion transfer than ideal, although it was hard to tell if that was the mattress base or what. It was fine. I guess I could live with it. Didn’t love it.

The Tempurpedic Hybrid ProAdapt in medium was the wildcard best choice. I really liked it for the 5 minutes I was lying on it, but I have no idea how I’d feel after multiple nights. It would either be a “you’ll pry this mattress out of my cold deads hands I love it so much” or a “I’m taking this outside and lighting it on fire I hate it so much” situation.

I’m considering the Aurora Luxe Cooling from Brooklyn Bedding.

What do you think?

Hey,

How did you determine you want a hybrid?

The Tempur Pro Adapt Medium might be awesome. I am a fan of Luxe Adapt Firm all foam, but they have Luxe Adapt Medium Hybrid that I have not tried yet.

Hi BillyIdol,

We liked the hybrids most when we went into a mattress store to try them out. They seemed to have the right balance between motion dampening, but it didn’t feel like sleeping in quicksand.

I agree, the Tempurpedic ProAdapt Medium had the potential to be awesome. There was literally NO motion transfer… but I’m not sure I could get used to the feeling of sleeping IN the mattress as opposed to ON the mattress.

I ended up purchasing the Helix Midnight Luxe in medium and just received it 2 days ago. So far, so good! It’s a little on the firm side, as expected, so I put an old piece of memory foam on my side of the bed to pad the outside of my hip bone. I suspect I won’t need it once the mattress breaks in a bit. I had read some older posts saying the Helix mattress smelled terrible and off-gassed something fierce, and I’m really sensitive to VOCs, but I’m pleasantly surprised. They must have changed their manufacturing processes or something.

I will certainly update this thread in the future if anyone is interested!

How is that Midnight Luxe doing for you today? Thanks.
