Thuma Hybrid mattress review: Firm but favorable

The Thuma Hybrid offers three firmness options: plush, medium, and firm. I chose Medium because my partner and I (basically me) flip between different sleeping positions. We both sleep on our sides most of the time, but more often than not, I go back to stomach sleeping at some point in the night. Both of these sleeping positions require more support for the lower back to prevent back pain. But from the first night of testing, it was undeniable that this mattress had a firmer feel. In my experience, medium-firm beds typically range 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 coils and firmer Dunlop latex, I would rate it a 7 out of 10. In fact, I think the “firm” Thuma Hybrid might be comparable to the Plank Firm, which is one of the firmest mattresses our team has ever tested.

As time went on and my body adjusted to the feel of the mattress, I felt a slight increase in softness creeping in around my body. But in terms of stress relief, I noticed a slight tension around my hips and shoulders. There wasn’t anything that disrupted my sleep, but it was easy to see that happening to people with joint pain in these areas.

But that doesn’t negate who I really think this bed is a star for: couples, stomach sleepers, and heavier sleepers. Couples, especially those who want the best mattress for sex, may find a firm mattress to help not only with different sleeping positions, but also for sleep support. last Attitudes. Stomach sleepers (and back sleepers who prefer a firmer bed) need a bed that provides adequate support for the lumbar area. Finally, heavier sleepers, or those with larger frames and weigh more than 250 pounds, may be happy with the firmness level of this mattress. This is because as body mass increases, the bed is more tender. A bed that is too soft can also contribute to the development of back pain over time, as the spine sinks out of alignment. The advanced materials that make up the Thuma Hybrid should enhance overall support and durability and help prevent back pain.

In the end, the Thuma Hybrid is likely to be a classic case of “giving your body time to get used to it” – especially if you’re someone with a smaller to medium-weight frame. It may be good for people with heavy bodies to fall asleep from jumping. Would I personally classify Thuma Hybrid as more of a medium-sized company than a medium-sized company? No, especially since mattresses usually become soft over time. However, the truth is that people are generally not in the mood to wait that long – there’s a reason why most brands, including Thuma, require all 30 nights to be spent in a sleep trial before allowing returns.

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