Joey’s Malaysia-made range covers four very different needs: an all-foam everyday mattress, a three-firmness hybrid line, a compact folding bed, and a crib mattress. The all-foam Joey was the strongest choice for limiting partner disturbance, while the Hybrid Medium gave us the easiest movement and most secure edges. The Foldable and Baby models are useful, but each works best for the specific job it was designed to do.

| The Joey Mattress | 4.2/5 | Excellent motion control; balanced support | Average edges; some warmth after long periods | Couples and combination sleepers who like foam |
| Joey Hybrid Series | 4.4/5 | Easy movement; supportive edges; three firmnesses | More motion transfer than the foam model | Back sleepers, couples, and frequent position changers |

Which Joey mattress should you buy?
The Joey Mattress is the easy choice for couples who wake when a partner moves. Its foam absorbs movement better than the Hybrid, and it cushions the shoulders and hips without a deep, slow sink. Choose something else if you rely on the edge for sitting or want a springier surface.
The Joey Hybrid Series is the most versatile option in the range. The Medium gave us the strongest mix of support, pressure relief, edge stability, and easy turning, while Plush and Firm let shoppers move meaningfully softer or firmer. It costs more than the all-foam Joey and passes along a little more partner movement.
The Joey Foldable is a practical guest bed, not a substitute for a full-height mattress for most adults. It sets up in seconds, stores neatly, and feels far better than a thin camping pad. Its 6.3 cm profile becomes noticeable through the hips during a full night, especially for a heavier sleeper.
The Joey Baby is a straightforward crib mattress with a firm, even surface and a manageable 3 kg weight. It makes sense only if its 120 x 60 cm dimensions fit the crib snugly. Parents should confirm that fit and follow current local safe-sleep guidance rather than choosing it for softness.

What did we look for?
Each adult model went through sleep sessions and repeated checks for support, cooling, pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, and durability. I rotated between my back and side. Marcus, who is 6'1" and about 230 pounds, focused on hip support and heat buildup, while Jenna and Ethan compared partner movement, edge use, and how easy it was to get in and out of bed. The Hybrid Medium received the longest use; Plush and Firm were checked for their relative feel. The Baby Mattress was assessed only for surface consistency, edge and corner stability, fit, and handling—no adult slept on it.
Joey Mattress: Our Testing Experience
The Joey Mattress
Our testing experience
This was the quietest mattress in the lineup. When I rolled from my back to my side, the foam absorbed the shift instead of sending a ripple across the bed, and it filled the space under my waist without letting my hips drop too far. Marcus also kept better hip support than we expected from an all-foam build. He noticed warmth after lying still for longer stretches, but not enough to outweigh the pressure relief. Jenna and Ethan consistently felt less of each other's movement here than on the Hybrid.
- What we liked: It isolates movement exceptionally well, relieves pressure at the shoulders and hips, and keeps the lower back from feeling unsupported.
- Who it is best for: Couples disturbed by movement, back-and-side combination sleepers, and anyone who prefers close contouring without a deep memory-foam hug.
- Where it falls short: The perimeter compresses noticeably when sitting, the foam can hold some warmth, and frequent turners may prefer more rebound.

Joey Hybrid Series
Our testing experience
Most of our sleep time went to the Medium, and it proved to be the broadest fit. I could move from side to back with less effort than on the all-foam Joey, while Marcus felt the mattress meet his hips sooner and keep his lower back level. Jenna and Ethan could use more of the outer third without feeling as though they were sliding off. Shorter checks of Plush and Firm showed a clear step down and up in firmness, but the Medium remains the basis of the performance scores below. The coils add some motion feedback, so very light sleepers may still prefer the foam model.
- What we liked: The Medium responds quickly, holds the hips securely, and has the strongest perimeter of the four models.
- Who it is best for: Back sleepers, combination sleepers, heavier adults who need more lift, and couples who regularly use the edge.
- Where it falls short: It transfers more movement than the all-foam Joey, costs more, and requires a careful choice among three genuinely different firmnesses.
Details
- Firmnesses: Plush / Medium / Firm
- Thickness: 35.5 cm for Plush and Medium; 25.4 cm for Firm
- Position guidance: Joey presents Medium as the broadest fit
- Trial: 99 nights

- Availability: exclusive to Mattress Makers

Joey Foldable Mattress
Our testing experience
We set this up as an office guest bed, where its strengths were immediately clear: it unfolded quickly, stayed flat, and felt more substantial than a basic travel pad. I slept comfortably for one night with it on a rug over hardwood. Marcus reached the limit of the 6.3 cm build sooner, particularly under his hips on a firmer floor. Jenna and Ethan both liked it for naps and short visits because it was easy to move and store. It can be used more often, but our experience supports buying it first as a compact guest solution.
- What we liked: Setup takes little effort, the folded mattress stores neatly, and the foam is comfortable enough for a guest to stay overnight.
- Who it is best for: Small homes, guest rooms, road trips, and occasional floor sleeping on a clean, even surface.
- Where it falls short: The thin profile offers limited hip cushioning for heavier adults, the edges collapse quickly, and comfort depends heavily on the surface underneath.

Joey Baby Mattress
Our testing experience
We assessed this as a crib mattress, not as a smaller version of an adult bed. Pressing across the center, edges, and corners revealed a consistently firm surface without an obvious soft spot. The foam regained its shape quickly after pressure was removed. Jenna handled the 3 kg mattress during repeated lifts and sheet changes and found it easy to manage. Its 120 x 60 cm footprint is the deciding factor: it should sit flat and fit the specific crib snugly, with no gaps around the sides.
- What we liked: The surface feels uniformly firm, the corners hold their shape, and the low weight makes sheet changes straightforward.
- Who it is best for: Parents whose crib calls for a 120 x 60 cm mattress and who want a firm, simple foam surface.
- Where it falls short: There is only one size, the mattress is intentionally not plush, and Joey limits its stated use to age 2 or below 110 cm.
Details
- Size: 120 x 60 x 10 cm
- Weight: 3 kg
- Cover: 68% polyester / 32% viscose; polyester underside
- Core: BB-Foam

- Joey's stated range: newborns to age 2 or below 110 cm
- Trial: 99 nights
- Warranty: 2-year limited warranty
- Certification: Joey states that the foam is CertiPUR-US certified

The Hybrid Medium was the strongest all-around adult mattress, especially for support, edge stability, and movement. The all-foam Joey traded some perimeter strength for better pressure relief and the range's best motion isolation. The Foldable scored as a guest bed rather than a full-height everyday mattress. The Baby Mattress's scores reflect surface and handling checks for its specialized crib use.
How to pick the right Joey mattress
Start with the job the mattress needs to do. For an everyday adult bed, choose between the quieter contour of the all-foam Joey and the stronger edges and faster response of the Hybrid; this is the central trade-off in a foam-versus-hybrid decision. The Foldable solves a storage or guest-space problem, while the Baby Mattress belongs only in a compatible crib. Within the Hybrid line, Plush gives the most cushioning, Medium suits the widest range of positions, and Firm offers the most rigid support.
Typical matches
- Couples who wake easily: The Joey Mattress; choose the Hybrid if stronger edges matter more.
- Back sleepers and frequent position changers: Hybrid Medium.
- Heavier back sleepers: Hybrid Medium or Firm.
- Stomach sleepers: Hybrid Firm is the most logical starting point, though comfort still depends on body weight.
- Guests and occasional floor sleeping: Joey Foldable.
- Crib use: Joey Baby, after confirming an exact fit.
How to get the best fit from a Joey mattress
- Use the 99-night trial as intended and allow at least 30 days before deciding, provided the mattress is not causing pain or another immediate problem.
- Choose breathable bedding before assuming the mattress is solely responsible for sleeping warm.
- When comparing Hybrid firmnesses, focus on whether your hips stay level and your shoulders can settle without pressure.
- Place the Foldable on a clean, even, supportive surface; the floor underneath has a large effect on comfort.
- Reassess support if the Foldable becomes a frequent bed rather than an occasional one.
- Measure the inside of a crib before buying the Baby Mattress and reject any setup that leaves an unsafe gap.
- Use a fitted protector in guest and nursery setups to limit moisture and stains without adding loose padding.
FAQs
Which Joey model worked best for couples?
For couples, the all-foam Joey passed along the least partner movement. The Hybrid Medium offered better edge stability, but its springier build made movement easier to notice.
Can the Joey Foldable work as an everyday bed?
It can, and Joey permits daily use, but our experience makes it a better fit for guests and occasional nights. Its 6.3 cm profile gives a heavier sleeper less room for hip cushioning than a full-height mattress.
How different are the Hybrid firmness choices?
The differences are meaningful. Plush allows the deepest sink, Medium balances cushioning with support, and Firm feels the most rigid. Medium received the longest test time and is the basis of our Hybrid scores.
