Overall Impressions

Elm Sleep Hybrid is a thoughtfully-constructed mattresses that combines both memory foam and coils for a cradled and supportive sleep experience. Back, stomach  or side sleepers will sleep comfortably since you have a choice of firmnesses. Back and stomach sleepers will find the luxury firm (more like a medium) most comfortable and side sleepers will probably prefer the luxury plush mattress.  I am very sensitive to pressure in my hips and the this mattress offered excellent pressure relief. This mattress also sleeps very cool.

Motion Transfer

I slept on this mattress next to my husband and there was some slight motion transfer but I did not feel much movement while I was asleep, and I am a light sleeper.

Off-Gassing

I smelled a little bit of off-gassing when I opened this mattress, but it disappeared after five days. I made sure to open my window to air out my bedroom at this time.

Edge Support

The edge of this bed compressed only a bit when I sat directly on it. This is due to the reinforced edges that are specifically engineered for good edge support.  Couples will find that they can use the entire surface of the bed for sleeping because there is no compression at all when you lay flat on the mattress.

Does it Sleep Hot?

The Elm Sleep mattress slept very cool, which is due to the fact that they use graphite-infused foam that has been specifically engineered to conduct heat away from the sleeper.

Don’t Just Take My Word for It

One reviewer left this comment that perfectly sums up what I think of this mattress:

“Elm has great reviews online for a reason. Such a comfortable bed, such great edge support. I’m back to waking up without any pain.”

A Surprising Design Benefit

This mattress is dark-colored, which is amazing for people who need to move their mattress. When moving a large, unwieldy object, they often drag on the ground and get dirty. A white mattress, especially, will have this problem. This dark mattress will hide any dirt from moving. I wish every mattress offered this feature!

Trial, Warranty and Pricing

You can sleep on the Elm Sleep mattress for 180 nights and decide for yourself whether this is the bed for you. It comes with a lifetime warranty and has two price points, depending on what which model you choose and the current sale they are offering.  A queen is around 1200 or 1500, depending on the model you chose.

Who Would Not Like this Mattress?

Budget-minded customers who want a no-frills mattress without any upgraded features may find this mattress too expensive. While the upcharge for all the amazing features will be worth it to most shoppers, people who want a bare bones mattress at a rock-bottom price may want to choose a different bed.
