In fact, all of thebest hybrid mattresseswe’ve tested use memory foam.

So, why would I choose a memory foam hybrid instead of a latex one?

Latex foam is a bouncy material, and it sort of mimics the feel of traditional spring mattresses.

That’s why you’ll find the material used in so many of this year’sbest mattresses for side sleepers.

Latex is more buoyant and responsive, while most memory foam beds have a body-contouring feel and plushness.

Last but not least, natural latex hybrids tend to be billed as all-natural or organic.

Should you buy a latex hybrid or memory foam hybrid?
