Why our sleep experts loved it
The Lola Titan Hybrid Mattress is a 30 cm thick hybrid and the firmest model in Lola Sleep’s line-up. It's built with a combination of high-density orthopaedic foam and a layer of 2,000 individually wrapped pocket springs, creating an ultra-firm sleep surface aimed at exceptional support and spinal alignment. This design produces a distinctly "no-sink" feel — you'll sleep on top of the mattress rather than in it — and it's particularly well-suited for back and stomach sleepers who need extra firmness. Lola has also integrated cooling features (like a gel-infused KorGel foam layer) to ensure that such a solid mattress doesn’t sleep too hot. In essence, the Titan Hybrid is made for sleepers who prioritize a firm, stable bed above all else.
Construction & Materials Every layer from the cover down to the core contributes to the Titan Hybrid’s sturdy, supportive feel. Here’s a quick look at how it's built:
Comfort Layer: 5 cm of KorGel foam - a high-density, gel-infused foam that provides initial cushioning without much sink. It adapts lightly to your body while also dissipating heat.Transition Layer: 2.5 cm of firm orthopaedic foam beneath the gel layer. This prevents you from sinking in too far and distributes your weight evenly onto the spring core, reinforcing the mattress’s ultra-firm character.Pocket Spring Core: 2,000 individually wrapped pocket springs. These coils respond independently to your body, offering tailored support and pressure distribution. The high coil count also means motion on one side of the bed is less likely to disturb a partner on the other side.Foam Encasement & Base: High-density foam encases the spring unit on all sides (with a sturdy base layer underneath). This gives the mattress excellent edge support — the sides stay firm — and adds stability to the entire structure. Together, these layers make up the Titan Hybrid’s 30 cm profile, resulting in a solid, heavy-duty build. The quality materials and sheer thickness of this mattress reflect its aim to deliver long-lasting, reliable support.
Firmness & Feel Lola rates the Titan Hybrid as a 9 out of 10 on the firmness scale, and it truly feels that way. This is an exceptionally firm mattress. When you lie down, there is very little give - you remain lifted on the surface rather than sinking in. The top gel foam layer adds a touch of cushion, but very quickly you feel the dense support of the foam and springs underneath. Many would describe the sensation as orthopaedic : flat, stable, and extremely supportive.
If you’re used to medium or plush beds, the Titan Hybrid may feel overwhelmingly firm at first. However, for those who know they prefer a firm or extra-firm mattress, the Titan delivers the sturdy, no-sink feel they’re after. You won’t experience a "quicksand" effect as with deep memory foam; instead, the surface is responsive and easy to move on. The trade-off is that you give up the enveloping softness of a gentler mattress in exchange for a sleep surface that prioritizes support.
Support and Pressure Relief The Titan Hybrid shines in support and spinal alignment. On your back, it keeps your lower back and hips properly elevated, preventing the hammock-like sag that can lead to pain. Stomach sleepers will find that their midsection doesn’t bow downward, so the spine stays straight rather than arching uncomfortably. This level of support is great if you often wake with back pain on a softer mattress - the Titan keeps your body in a neutral posture that may help reduce strain.
Pressure relief is where the Titan Hybrid is more limited. Because it’s so firm, you don’t get a deep cushion around the shoulders or hips. The KorGel foam top layer does contour a bit to soften pressure points, but it's a gentle effect. Side sleepers - particularly those of lighter or average weight - will likely feel pressure on the shoulder and hip, as the mattress simply doesn’t sink much (even a larger body won’t get the deep cushion of a softer bed). If you have lower back pain caused by lack of support, the Titan’s extra firmness could be beneficial. But if your discomfort is more about pressure on joints, an ultra-firm mattress like this might feel too unforgiving without adding a topper for extra cushioning.
Temperature Regulation Very firm, foam-rich mattresses can sometimes trap heat, but the Titan Hybrid is built to avoid that. The 5 cm KorGel foam is infused with gel to pull heat away from your body and disperse it. Below that, the pocket spring layer encourages airflow through the core of the mattress, carrying away excess warmth as you move.
The cover is breathable and helps wick away moisture, which also aids in cooling. Plus, since you’re sleeping “on” the Titan rather than “in” it, more of your body is exposed to the air. All these factors mean the Titan Hybrid sleeps fairly cool for such a dense, firm bed. It's cooler than most all-foam mattresses of similar firmness.
Motion Isolation and Edge Support The individually wrapped coils and foam layers do a good job of absorbing movement, so if your partner tosses at night, you're unlikely to feel it on your side. There is a bit of bounce due to the coils, but not enough to be disruptive. Meanwhile, the perimeter of the mattress is reinforced by the foam encasement, so sitting or sleeping near the edge feels stable and secure. You won’t get that “rolling off” sensation, which means couples can comfortably use the full surface of the bed. Strong edge support also bodes well for durability, as it means the mattress is less likely to sag at the sides over time.
Who Is the Lola Titan Hybrid Best For? This mattress will satisfy sleepers in these categories:
Back and Stomach Sleepers (needing extra support): The firm, even surface keeps the spine aligned. No sinking under the hips or midsection helps prevent back strain. If you’ve been advised to use an orthopaedic mattress for back issues, the Titan Hybrid meets that description.Heavier Individuals: People with a higher body weight often need the reinforcement this mattress provides. The Titan’s high-density foams and robust coils offer support without sagging. Even at higher weights, you shouldn’t “bottom out”; the mattress stays supportive across the entire surface.Hot Sleepers: Despite its firmness, the Titan Hybrid is designed to disperse heat. The gel foam and breathable coil core help it stay cooler than many other mattresses. If you tend to overheat at night, this bed will help you maintain a more comfortable temperature.People Who Dislike Sinking Beds: If you’ve tried soft memory foam and hated feeling stuck, the Titan will be a relief. It has a solid, on-top feel. You can move easily and never feel trapped in the mattress. Who Might Not Find it Suitable Side Sleepers (especially lighter weight): If you primarily sleep on your side and are of light or medium build, the Titan Hybrid will likely feel too firm. There’s not enough give to cushion your shoulder and hip, so you’ll likely experience pressure points. Unless you know you enjoy a very firm feel, a mattress with a softer top layer will be more comfortable for side sleeping.Those Who Prefer a Plush, Contouring Feel: If you love a mattress that hugs your body and lets you sink in, the Titan Hybrid won't meet that expectation. It’s all about support and has very little of the “cloud-like” softness you’d get from a plush pillow-top or deep memory foam.Lightweight Sleepers: Individuals under ~60 kg (130 lbs) might not compress the Titan enough to engage its cushioning. For them it could feel overly hard, since the mattress won't conform much to a smaller frame. Generally, a softer mattress will adapt better to a lightweight sleeper’s body. The Lola Titan Hybrid is a top choice for those seeking an unapologetically firm, supportive mattress. It excels at keeping your spine aligned and won't sag under weight, making it ideal for back and stomach sleepers and heavier individuals. It also sleeps cooler than many all-foam beds thanks to its gel-infused foam and breathable coil core. However, this level of firmness isn't for everyone - side sleepers and anyone who prefers a plusher feel should proceed with caution (and perhaps make use of the 100-night trial period). If the Titan Hybrid’s specifications line up with your needs and you know you enjoy a very firm bed, it could be the key to achieving better support and sound sleep.
