Why our sleep experts loved it
Full disclaimer: I haven't actually climbed into this mattress to test it out. All impressions below come from its official specs, construction details, and established sleep science - in other words, I'm going off the paperwork, not personal nap sessions. Think of this as an expert reading the recipe, not tasting the dish.
Comfort and Feel At 23cm thick, the Lola Support Hybrid sits firmly in the medium-firm category (about a 7.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale). It’s not fluffy like a pillow-top cloud, but it’s also not as hard as a hardwood floor. The top has a quilted polyester cover over a 5cm support-foam layer, providing a little cushion as you lie down. In practice, you’ll sink in just enough to feel that plush cover and foam, then you’ll steadily hit the firmer layers underneath. If you’re looking for a mattress that cradles you like a marshmallow, this probably won’t deliver that dreamy sinking sensation. Instead, it offers a more responsive surface - think of it as a firm handshake that says “I’ve got you,” rather than a cloud pulling you under.
The word “hybrid” tells the tale: after the foam compresses, you’ll start to feel the coil springs providing lift and bounce. That’s great news for anyone who doesn’t want to feel stuck to the bed. Tossing and turning should be relatively easy, since the mattress springs back quickly when you move. The trade-off is that the feel is fairly springy - you won’t drench yourself in contouring foam. For many sleepers, this balanced blend means the mattress feels stable and supportive without collapsing beneath you. Just remember, it’s more “supportive comfort” than “sink-in softness.”
Support and Spinal Alignment With 1,000 pocket springs in its core, the Lola Support Hybrid is built to stay firm under pressure. Each coil acts like a tiny support pillar, adjusting independently under your body. What that means for your spine is a generally neutral, aligned position. The firmer support foam and high-density layers keep your hips from sinking too low, which helps maintain the natural curve of your spine. In practice this should help prevent the “shelf effect” (hips drooping and straining your back) especially for back and stomach sleepers.
The mattress description even mentions extra reinforcement at the shoulders and hips, and we see the logic there. Heavier body parts get a little extra push from the coils, while still feeling cradled enough by the foam. The result is a steady, even feel under your torso. If you often wake up with back stiffness on softer beds, this kind of medium-firm support could keep your posture happier. Also, the foam-encased edges mean the sides won’t sag when you sit or sleep at the border, effectively giving you more usable surface and solid edge support all around.
Suitability for Different Sleep Positions Side Sleepers: On a medium-firm hybrid like this, your shoulders and hips will sink in a bit, but not deeply. This mattress may feel firmer than a fluffy memory foam - it gives some pressure relief, but if your shoulders are very broad or sensitive you might notice more pressure than on a softer bed. Side sleepers who like balanced support (rather than deep sinkage) should be okay, though very petite side-sleepers might miss a little extra padding under their hips and shoulders.Back Sleepers: This is a great match. The support layers keep your lower back from sagging, while the pocket springs help distribute weight evenly. Most average-weight back sleepers will likely feel well-supported from shoulders to hips, with a nice gentle lift under the lumbar region. The medium-firm rating tends to cradle the spine in a neutral alignment, so expect your back to stay flat and comfortable through the night.Stomach Sleepers: Also a solid fit. Stomach sleepers generally need a firm surface to prevent the hips from sinking down, and the Lola’s medium-firm feel should help keep your hips level with your torso. This avoids arching your lower back. If you’re a heavy stomach sleeper who usually needs very firm support, this should hold you up well. Even lighter stomach sleepers should have no trouble, as the mattress resists sinking too much in any one spot.Combination Sleepers: The hybrid’s responsiveness is a boon here. The pocket coils provide a springy surface that quickly repositions under you. Whether you flip from side to back or from back to stomach, the mattress won’t cling or hold you down. Overall, restless sleepers or couples with differing positions should find this mattress adapts well to movement. Suitability for Different Body Types Lightweight Sleepers: People on the lighter end might find the Support Hybrid quite firm. If you weigh less, you won’t compress the foams and coils as much, so the bed won’t sink in a lot. You’ll get solid support, but lighter sleepers who prefer sinking into their mattress might miss a bit of plushness. It can still work, but you may want a plusher pillow or even a mattress topper for extra softness.Average-weight Sleepers: This mattress is right in its sweet spot for most average-weight sleepers. The medium-firm build strikes a good balance for this group - it supports the joints without bottoming out, yet still has some give for comfort. If you’re of average weight, you’ll likely experience the ideal feel that this mattress is designed to provide.Heavy Sleepers: Heavier individuals often press deeper into mattresses, and here you might really appreciate those 1,000 pocket springs. These coils and the high-density base can hold a lot of weight, keeping you lifted. The sturdy foam layers mean you’re not just slamming down onto metal springs. In short, heavier sleepers should find that this bed remains supportive and doesn’t collapse under them. (As with any mattress, a very heavy person may experience it as slightly firmer, but this one is built to handle it.) Motion Isolation Hybrids tend to be middle-of-the-road for motion isolation, and the Lola Support Hybrid is no exception. Its individually wrapped springs do a decent job of isolating movement, since each coil absorbs motion on its own. You won’t get the virtually “dead calm” surface of a thick memory foam, but you’ll also avoid the whole-bed shake of an old innerspring mattress. In practice, if you have a sleepy partner who wiggles at 3am, you might feel a soft ripple or two as they shift. But the foam layers help dampen big jolts, so you probably won’t get catapulted out of bed. In short: motion transfer is present but modest - better than many spring-only beds, but not as quiet as solid foam.
Temperature Regulation and Breathability The Lola Support Hybrid leans on airflow more than active cooling. Its tall pocket coil core naturally lets air circulate under you, which helps heat escape instead of getting trapped (unlike a solid foam block). The mattress does not include special cooling gel foams or phase-change materials, so you won’t get an extra chilly effect from advanced tech. The cover is a quilted polyester - it might feel cool to the touch initially, but it’s not a moisture-wicking or high-tech cooling fabric. Overall, this bed should sleep reasonably cool (certainly cooler than most all-foam beds), but it’s not specifically engineered for hot sleepers. On very warm nights, you might notice some heat retention from the foams, but the airflow through the springs will prevent it from feeling completely stifling.
Materials and Construction Quilted Cover: The top and bottom covers are 100% polyester fabric, quilted for a bit of extra comfort. They feel smooth and a touch cushioned, but keep in mind it’s all synthetic - not an organic or cooling specialty fabric.Comfort Layer: 5 cm of medium-firm support foam directly under the cover. This foam isn't memory foam; it’s resilient and offers a moderate amount of give to support good posture.Transition Layer: A 2.5 cm slab of high-density foam sits under the support foam. It’s firmer and adds reinforcement so the mattress doesn’t collapse under mid-weight portions of your body.Core (Spring Unit): The heart of the mattress is a set of 1,000 individually wrapped pocket springs. Each coil can compress on its own, which helps the bed contour somewhat to your shape and reduces motion transfer. The spring unit is foam-encased around the edges for solid edge support.Base Layer: Beneath the springs is a thick high-density foam base. This underlayer keeps the spring unit steady and provides a firm foundation so the mattress doesn’t bottom out.Handles and Edges: There are four sturdy handles sewn into the sides for easy maneuvering (useful when rotating the mattress). The foam-encased edges mean the sides are firmer, preventing sag and giving you more room to sprawl without rolling off.Eco-minded Features: Lola offers free recycling of your old mattress when delivering the new one, which is a nice perk. The Support Hybrid itself isn’t advertised as containing recycled materials; it’s constructed from standard foam and polyester layers. Durability and Long-Term Use The build suggests this mattress should hold up well. High-density foams and steel pocket coils are known for lasting power, so you’re unlikely to see sagging after just a year or two. The foam layers (especially the thick support and base foams) resist permanent impressions, and the coils should maintain their shape through normal use. The foam-encased edges also help prevent the sides from wearing out early, a common weak point in many beds.
Under normal conditions, you might expect this mattress to stay supportive for around 7-10 years. The manufacturer offers a 5-year warranty against defects. As always, following care tips (like rotating the mattress periodically) can help it last its full potential. With a bit of upkeep, the Support Hybrid seems built to be a long-term companion rather than a short-lived fling.
Ease of Setup and Use The Support Hybrid comes as a mattress-in-a-box, but with a nice twist: Lola provides free two-person delivery and setup. That means you don’t have to wrestle a heavy rolled mattress yourself. The delivery team will bring it in, unbox it, and even remove the plastic for you. Once it's on your bed frame, you just allow it some time to expand — Lola says it will be usable in a few hours, but give it up to 24 hours to reach full size. No complicated assembly or flips are needed on your part.
In terms of day-to-day use, it’s pretty straightforward. This is a one-sided mattress (it has a foam base and isn’t meant to be flipped over), so you’ll only need to rotate it regularly. Lola suggests a rotation schedule (a 180° turn after the first month, then every few months). Beyond that, treat it like any good bed - perhaps use a protector to keep the cover clean. The included 100-night sleep trial means you can really live on it to make sure it’s right for you, risk-free. And one final perk: the company offers free removal of your old mattress when they deliver the new one, taking one more task off your moving checklist.
Value for Money Considering its features, the Lola Support Hybrid is priced roughly in the mid-range for hybrid mattresses. You’re getting a 1,000-spring coil system and quality foams at a price lower than many high-end hybrids. Lola often runs promotions, so it’s not uncommon to snag this mattress at a significant discount, making it feel like a real steal. Added perks like free two-person setup, old mattress disposal, and a 100-night trial also boost its value.
In practical terms, you won’t find an ultra-low price, but you also aren’t paying extra for unnecessary luxury. The Lola offers a solid, straightforward build; you pay for the support and craftsmanship rather than expensive extras. For budget-conscious shoppers who still want a reliable hybrid, this strikes a reasonable balance. And if you catch it on sale, you’ll definitely feel like you’ve gotten good value for your money.
