Thuma Hybrid Mattress Review: Firm but Favorable

Thuma Hybrid offers three firmness options: plush, medium and firm. I chose medium because my partner and I (mainly me) fluctuate between different sleeping positions. both of us Side sleeper For the most part, but often, I fall asleep on my stomach at some point during the night. Both of these sleeping positions require more lumbar support to prevent back pain. But from the first night of testing, it was undeniable that this mattress had a firmer feel. In my experience, beds with medium firmness are usually between 5 and 6.5 on a scale of 10, with 10 being the firmest setting available on a bed. With the Thuma Hybrid’s innerspring pocketed coils and firm Dunlop latex, I’d rate it a 7 out of 10. In fact, I would guess that “firm” might be comparable to the Thuma Hybrid Plank Firm, one of the firmest mattresses out there. Our team has ever tested.

Over time and my body adjusts to the feel of the mattress, I can feel a slight increase in softness and sinking around my body. But in terms of stress relief, I noticed slight tightness around my hips and shoulders. It wasn’t anything that disturbed my sleep, but I could easily see it doing for someone with joint pain in this area.

But that doesn’t take away from who I really think this bed is a star for: couples, stomach sleepers, and heavy sleepers. Couples, especially those who are interested Best mattress for sexFinding a firm mattress can help not only with different sleeping positions, but also for support other Position Stomach sleepers (and back sleepers who prefer firmer beds) need beds that provide adequate lumbar support. Finally, heavy-bodied sleepers, or those with large frames who weigh more than 250 pounds, may be pleased with the firmness of this mattress. This is because with more body mass, the bed has more give. A bed that is too soft can contribute to the development of back pain over time, as the spine moves out of alignment. The high-end materials that compose the Thuma Hybrid enhance overall support and durability and help prevent back pain.

In the end, the Thuma Hybrid will probably be a classic case of “give your body time to get used to it” – especially if you’re someone with a small to average weight frame. Heavier sleepers may skip the jump. Would I personally classify Thuma Hybrid as a medium firm, rather than a medium? No, especially since mattresses usually soften over time. However, the reality is that people aren’t usually in the mood to wait that long—there’s a reason most brands, including Thuma, require all 30 nights of sleep trials before they’re allowed to return.

However, for stomach sleepers, couples, and sex, this mattress is a star—especially when paired with Thuma. bed frame. My next project will be getting my dogs on board with their own Thuma setup, as the brand recently launched its own dog bed. But it’s safe to say that I joined my teammates as the newest member of the Thuma fan club (unofficial, but we can make t-shirts).
