Then there is a heat isolation layer made from cotton felt.This should provide some more cushion, as well as a buffer layer in order to make the transition from the comfort top layers to the spring support layer below more seamless. Beneath that, there are two layers of pressure-relieving foam.This layer should prevent the mattress from trapping too much body heat and also provide a bit of pressure relief. The top layer of the Minocasa Hybrid is the gel-infused memory foam unit.Beneath the cover are three layers of foam and one layer of innerspring coils. The mattress is encased in a soft, Tencel cover that is quilted and includes some foam padding.

If you notice isn’t 12 inches tall, it probably hasn’t finished decompressing. Once the Minocasa Hybrid fully decompresses, it should measure 12 inches tall. The Minocasa Hybrid mattress is a bed-in-a-box product, which means that it will be shipped to your door compressed in a box. However, this bed should be fine for stomach sleepers with shoulder pain. You probably also won’t get much relief while back sleeping since there’s hardly any contouring. This one will do just that if you’re a side sleeper it is firm enough that you’ll likely experience a buildup of pressure in your shoulder.

Shoulder Pain – Shoulder pain can be exacerbated by a firmer mattress. If you’re a stomach sleeper with hip pain, though, the firmness of this bed will work in your favor, preventing your hips from sinking down into the mattress. Hip Pain – While our reviewer didn’t notice as much pressure on her hips while side sleeping, we think sleepers with hip pain specifically will probably want a softer mattress to cradle the area more. That said, she felt her spine was “very supported” while on her stomach, which could be helpful for those with lower back pain who are front sleepers. It does not offer any relief for my lower back pain, so I would not recommend this bed for back sleepers with any type of back pain.” However, those over 300 pounds or so might feel their hips dipping down into the mattress, and might do better with a mattress designed for heavyweight sleepers.īack Pain – Our reviewer did not advise any back sleepers with back pain to get this bed.


This will work better for heavyweight side sleepers, especially if this is not their only sleep position.
