Idle Sleep 12 Inch Dual Firmness Mattress

Idle Sleep is a new online mattress brand that has multiple mattress models that have one thing in common, they can all be flipped. This means you can sleep on either side. This is a construction that harkens back many decades when you could maximize the lifespan on your mattress by wearing each side evenly. This was true then and is true now with Idle Sleep.

Their Dual Firmness mattress is a little different in that each side is a different firmness. This gives you the option of sleeping on a firm or soft side. A queen size currently retails for $1,199

Overview of the Idle Sleep Dual Firmness Mattress

The Idle Sleep line of mattresses come with a 120 night trial. That means you can try out the mattress in your house for 120 days and if you don’t like it, you can return it for a full refund. There’s no need to ship it back either, Idle will work with you to take care of the return.

All Idle Sleep mattresses are made in the USA and come with a lifetime warranty.

Here’s a quick overview of the mattress. In the video, I show you how easy it is to flip as it comes with handles on each side that are stitched into the mattress.

My Idle Sleep Findings

Below is a photo of my 14 lb. bowling ball on the soft side of the Idle Sleep Mattress. On a firmness scale I would say this is a medium firm feel.

Here’s a photo of the firm side of the mattress which is more of a true firm feel.

There isn’t much motion transfer with this mattress since it is an all foam mattress. Below is a video illustrating motion transfer on the soft side. The soft side absorbs more motion than the firm side.

Here’s a video of the firm side of the mattress. There isn’t that much difference between the two but I noticed the soft side absorbed a little more motion.

My Idle Sleep Recommendation

Dual firmness mattresses are excellent guest bedroom mattresses because they give you two choices in one. But this mattress is also great for your bedroom every night. I prefer the softer side as I generally like a softer mattress but people on the lookout for a firm mattress will appreciate the firm side of the Idles Sleep.

Buy this mattress if you aren’t quite sure what firmness is best for you or if you want a great guest bedroom mattress or a mattress for your new Airbnb!
