Original verdict: Ben found the older Floyd hybrid a true medium-firm mattress with modest sinkage and a stable edge. Its grippy underside was designed to pair with the Floyd platform bed. The observations below describe the original sample, not a new test of The Mattress 2.0.
Floyd is known for modular furniture, and its mattress was designed to complement the Floyd bed frame. Ben tested the older foam-and-coil hybrid on that platform and photographed the design in use.
Ben’s hands-on findings
When Ben placed a 14-pound bowling ball on the mattress, it did not sink very deeply. He described the bed as medium-firm, with more of an on-top feel than a deeply plush hybrid. When lying on his side, he found the surface conformed enough to be comfortable, although it offered a shallower cradle than softer mattresses he had tested.
A bowling ball is a visual illustration, not a substitute for lying on the mattress. A side sleeper who prefers more cushioning at the shoulder and hip may want to compare a softer surface.
Construction of the older hybrid
The original review described memory foam infused with copper and graphite, a transition foam layer and zoned pocketed coils with reinforced perimeter support. Ben found the edge supportive. Those observations and materials relate to the older version; manufacturers can change layers and specifications.
Ben considered the original mattress comfortable in his environment, but cooling varies by sleeper and bedding. Infused foam alone does not guarantee a cool night.
Why the underside mattered
The reviewed mattress had a non-slip bottom intended to help it stay in place on the Floyd platform. Ben tested it with the Floyd bed frame. That detail can be useful if a mattress tends to shift on a platform, although fit and grip will vary by surface.
Measure the mattress and frame and verify the support requirements for any combination. Read our Floyd platform bed review for more on the frame.
