DLX pulled me in for a simple reason: the lineup reads like it was designed on a factory floor, not in an ad studio. Coil-forward hybrids and flippable two-sided builds usually wear better over time, so we wanted to see how these models behaved in real bedrooms.
We rotated each model through real bedrooms, not a lab. I tracked lower-back tension, Marcus monitored heat and edge stability, Mia focused on shoulder and hip pressure, and Jenna logged partner disturbance. That mix gave us four DLX impressions grounded in everyday sleep.
Product Overview
We tested the four DLX models below. Prices use queen size as a baseline at regular pricing, but expect variation by height, firmness, and promotions. For more comparisons across brands, start at All Mattress Reviews.
| Mattress | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price (Queen) | Overall Score |
| DLX Premier Hybrid | Adjustable firmness options, strong support, excellent motion isolation | Less lively than latex, pricing varies by profile | Couples, combo sleepers, medium to heavier bodies | About $1,799 | 4.5 |
| DLX LatexLux Hybrid | Responsive latex feel, standout cooling, strong pressure relief | Higher price, more bounce than dense foam | Hot sleepers, athletes, side sleepers needing pressure relief | About $2,099 | 4.5 |
| DLX Classic Two Sided | Flippable for longevity, traditional spring feel, multiple firmness choices | More motion transfer than hybrids, contouring is more modest | Back sleepers, guest rooms, buyers wanting long life | About $1,599 | 4.2 |
| DLX Essential Two Sided | Lower price, firm support, reversible design | Thinner comfort layers, can feel firm for light side sleepers | Budget-minded families, teen rooms, firmer preferences | About $1,299 | 4.0 |
Testing Team Takeaways
Premier Hybrid was the easiest “default” pick. As a combination sleeper, I got enough contour for side nights without waking up with a cranky lower back.
Marcus focused on heat and support. LatexLux ran coolest for him and stayed easy to move on, while Premier stayed steady under his hips and felt calmer for all-night use.
Mia did best on LatexLux for shoulder relief, while Jenna preferred Premier for couple-friendly motion control. The two-sided Classic and Essential leaned more springy, which some people like, but it’s also easier for movement to carry across the surface.

What We Tested and How We Tested It
Each model was used as a primary bed for at least two weeks. We follow the same baseline framework described in How We Test Mattresses, then lean on real-bedroom notes for the day-to-day reality.
We scored support and alignment in back, side, and stomach positions, and we used pressure relief checks to see how shoulders and hips held up over longer side-sleep sessions.
We also ran cooling, motion isolation, responsiveness, and edge support drills, then logged firmness impressions using How We Test Mattress Firmness.
DLX Mattress: Our Testing Experience
DLX Premier Hybrid
Our Testing Experience
Premier Hybrid felt like the most balanced DLX model from the start: a supportive hybrid base with a foam comfort stack and multiple firmness choices. On my back and side, I got enough cushion to stay comfortable without feeling like my hips were “falling in.”
Marcus confirmed the support side of the story—his hips stayed level on position changes—and Jenna’s notes were strongest here for motion control. Compared with the two-sided models, Premier felt calmer when someone moved on the other side of the bed.
By the end of the rotation, the feel stayed consistent and the edges still held up for sitting and sleeping near the perimeter. It remained our best “all-around” DLX pick.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Strong support that stays steady for backs and hips | Not ideal for fans of very bouncy beds |
| Good pressure relief for most side sleepers | Price sits above strict budget range |
| Impressive motion isolation for couples | Some lighter sleepers may prefer a plusher surface |
| Reliable edge support for sitting and sleeping | More “balanced hybrid” than deep memory-foam hug |

DLX LatexLux Hybrid
Our Testing Experience
LatexLux had the quickest response in the lineup. The surface pushed back fast and kept me more “on top” of the bed compared with Premier’s calmer foam feel.
Mia liked it most for side sleeping because the latex comfort layer engaged quickly under her shoulder, and Jamal noted it was easy to roll and reset on sore days.
Marcus also rated it the coolest DLX model we tested. Between the temperature control and pressure relief, it earned our “cooling and pressure relief” slot.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Excellent cooling for a hybrid with substantial comfort layers | Higher price than other DLX options |
| Buoyant latex feel that makes movement easier | More bounce than Premier Hybrid |
| Strong pressure relief for side sleepers and athletes | Not ideal for shoppers seeking a deep memory-foam hug |
| Premium feel with multiple firmness choices | Heavier build can require help for setup |
Details
- Price (Queen): about $2,099 before promotions
- Firmness options: Soft, Medium, Firm, and Extra Firm
- Height: roughly 12–14 inches depending on configuration
- Type: one-sided hybrid with a natural latex comfort layer over pocketed coils
- Trial Period: 120-night sleep trial
- Warranty: Honest Lifetime Warranty

| Overall Score | 4.5 | Ideal DLX choice for hot sleepers and pressure-sensitive users. |
DLX Classic Two Sided
Our Testing Experience
Classic Two Sided is the most traditional-feeling DLX option. It’s spring-forward, easier to move on, and the two-sided build is meant to be flipped to spread out wear over time.
Carlos liked it most for back sleeping because it held a flatter, more even feel through the mid-back without a slow “sink.”
Mia could use it for shorter stretches, but she still felt more pressure than on LatexLux. We see Classic as a long-life pick for back sleepers and guest rooms.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Flippable design extends usable life | Pressure relief is less generous for lighter side sleepers |
| Strong, traditional spring support feel | Motion transfer is higher than DLX hybrid models |
| Excellent durability outlook with two-sided build | Cooling is good, but LatexLux stays cooler in our experience |
| Great for back-sleep primary use and guest rooms | Less contouring for people seeking a deep “hug” sensation |
Details
- Price (Queen): about $1,599
- Firmness options: Soft, Medium, and Firm (same feel on both sides)
- Height: around 12 inches
- Type: flippable, two-sided pocketed coil build with foam layers on both sides
- Trial Period: about 120 nights
- Warranty: Honest Lifetime Warranty
Review Score

DLX Essential Two Sided
Our Testing Experience
Essential Two Sided is the stripped-down value option, built for firmness and durability. You feel the support structure sooner, which is a plus if you prefer a simple, solid surface.
Marcus saw it as a practical fit for kids’ rooms, teen rooms, and budget guest rooms. Jenna also noted more motion carry than the hybrids, which is the main tradeoff couples should expect.
For quick naps and back-sleeping nights, it stayed supportive. For pressure-sensitive side sleeping, it’s usually too firm.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Lower price with a firm, supportive feel | Thinner comfort layers limit plushness for side sleepers |
| Flippable design improves lifespan and rotation options | Motion isolation trails the DLX hybrids noticeably |
| Good fit for secondary rooms and firm-bed fans | Less premium surface feel than Classic or LatexLux |
| Works well for kids, teens, and budget guest rooms | May feel too firm for very lightweight sleepers |
Details
- Price (Queen): about $1,299
- Firmness: firm (one option)
- Height: around 8–10 inches depending on configuration
- Type: flippable, two-sided pocketed coil build with a thinner comfort stack
- Trial Period: about 120 nights
- Warranty: Honest Lifetime Warranty
Review Score
| Metric | Score | Remarks |
| Support | 4.1 | Firm, supportive feel for back sleepers. |

Compare Performance Scores of These Mattresses
| Mattress | Overall Score | Support | Pressure Relief | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Durability | Responsiveness |
| DLX Premier Hybrid | 4.5 | 4.6 | 4.4 | 4.4 | 4.6 | 4.5 | 4.3 |

| DLX Essential Two Sided | 4.0 | 4.1 | 3.5 | 3.9 | 3.7 | 4.3 | 4.4 |
Premier Hybrid and LatexLux Hybrid are the two higher-performance hybrids, tuned toward different needs. Premier feels calmer for couples and mixed-position sleepers, while LatexLux leads for cooling, bounce, and pressure relief. Classic and Essential trade some motion isolation for long-term flipping and a more traditional spring feel.

- For a combination sleeper: Premier Hybrid is the safest match if you want a balanced feel with good motion control. If you’re still narrowing down, start with How to Choose a Mattress.
- For a petite side sleeper: LatexLux tends to relieve shoulder pressure best because it responds quickly under lighter frames (see: Mattress Firmness Guide).
- For heavier or faster-compressing sleepers: the hybrids are usually the safer starting point (explained in Body Weight and Mattresses).
- For back sleepers who like a traditional spring feel: Classic Two Sided is the better match.
- For couples with a restless partner: Premier Hybrid reduced motion the best in our tests.
- For budget secondary rooms: Essential Two Sided fits best, especially if you have a solid setup (see: Mattress Foundation Guide).
Limitations
DLX leans coil-forward. If you want an ultra-slow, deep memory-foam hug, even the softer DLX options may feel too buoyant. For the deepest side-sleep pressure relief in this lineup, LatexLux is the clearest match.
Very heavy sleepers can also compress comfort layers faster than our testers. If you’re far outside average weight ranges, prioritize firmer settings and thicker comfort layers.
