Merrick Lane Mattress focuses on a tight, four-model hybrid lineup built around pocketed coils and CertiPUR-US certified foams, with prices that start in the low-$100s and climb into the $700s depending on model and size. I found the best “middle of the road” choice, a clear edge-support winner, and one truly firm option, but hot sleepers and very pressure-sensitive side sleepers won’t love every pick.
Product Overview
| Mattress | Overall Score | Pros | Cons | Ideal For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hulen 12 Inch Hybrid Pocket Spring & CertiPUR-US Certified Memory Foam Mattress | 4.0/5.0 | Balanced support and contour, steady for mixed positions | Edge feel is only average | Back/side combo sleepers who want a conventional hybrid feel | $193.98–$427.98 |

| Vienna 14" Premium Comfort Euro Top Hybrid Pocket Spring and Memory Foam Mattress in a Box with Reinforced Edge Support | 4.2/5.0 | Best edge support, most “finished” top feel | Thicker comfort stack can feel warmer | Couples, edge-sitters, and anyone wanting a richer top layer | $420.98–$706.98 |
Testing Team Takeaways
Across the four Merrick Lane Mattress models, the lineup splits cleanly: Vienna felt the most polished and supportive at the perimeter, Hulen 12 Hybrid landed the most balanced alignment for me, Luna 10 ran softer and more forgiving up top, and Hulen 12 Extra Firm stayed the most level for Marcus’s heavier frame. Jenna and Ethan preferred Vienna when motion and edge use were the priority, while Marcus leaned hard toward the Extra Firm to avoid any hint of sag.

How We Tested It
I slept on each mattress in everyday conditions—full nights plus shorter “real life” blocks like reading and laptop time—to see whether support held up when my lower back was tired. We scored Support, Cooling, Pressure Relief, Motion Isolation, Responsiveness, Edge Support, and Durability using the same set of checks each time (edge-sitting, roll-and-return, partner movement, and heat buildup after extended contact). Marcus focused on anti-sag support and heat retention, while Jenna and Ethan concentrated on motion transfer and edge use for two sleepers.
Merrick Lane Mattress: Our Testing Experience
Luna 10 Inch Hybrid Mattress CertiPUR-US Certified Foam & Pocket Spring Mattress in a Box
Our Testing Experience
The Luna was the quickest “settle in and relax” bed for me. The first night, I noticed a soft landing when I rolled onto my side, then a gentle pushback from the coils when I switched to my back. Jenna and Ethan liked how it felt less “stuck” than thicker foam tops, but they still picked up some movement when one person got up. Marcus ran warmer on it than he wanted, and on his stomach he could feel his hips wanting to dip unless he centered himself.
What we liked:
-
Light, plush surface feel with easy position changes
-
Noticeable springy support under the foam
-
Good starter hybrid feel for the money
Who it is best for:
-
Lightweight-to-average sleepers who want plush comfort
-
Combo sleepers who rotate between side and back
-
Guest rooms where a soft-first-impression matters
Where it falls short:
-
Heavier bodies needing extra lumbar “hold-up”
-
Couples who are extremely motion-sensitive
-
People who want a firmer, flatter surface
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Plush comfort; easy to turn; airy hybrid feel | Less support headroom for heavier sleepers; edge is only fair; motion control is not the best of the four |

Hulen 12 Inch Hybrid Pocket Spring & CertiPUR-US Certified Memory Foam Mattress
Our Testing Experience
This was the “default answer” mattress for my body. On my back, my hips stayed level enough that my lower back didn’t tighten overnight, and when I rolled to my side I got just enough contour without losing alignment. Marcus appreciated that it didn’t hammock under his midsection the way softer hybrids sometimes do, and Jenna noted a cleaner, more stable surface than Luna when Ethan shifted. It still wasn’t a lock for deep-motion isolation, but it was consistent night to night—especially after it fully expanded.
What we liked:
-
Balanced feel across back and side sleeping
-
Stable transition from comfort layer into support
-
Better night-to-night consistency than the 10-inch option
Who it is best for:
-
Average-weight back sleepers who need steady lumbar support
-
Combo sleepers who want one bed for multiple positions
-
Couples who want a reasonable blend of motion control and bounce
Where it falls short:
-
People who demand reinforced, “hard” edges
-
Sleepers who want an explicitly plush top layer
-
Very heat-sensitive sleepers who need specialty cooling
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Even support; good middle-ground firmness; solid for couples | Edge support is not premium; comfort feel may be too “standard” for plush seekers |

Hulen 12 Inch Extra Firm Hybrid Pocket Spring & CertiPUR-US Certified Foam Mattress in a Box
Our Testing Experience
This is the model Marcus immediately respected: the surface stayed flat when he shifted from back to stomach, and he didn’t feel the slow sag that triggers his “hammock” alarm. For me, the benefit was clean lumbar control—my lower back stayed calmer after long desk days. The trade-off showed up in side sleeping: my shoulder didn’t sink as naturally, so I had to adjust my pillow height to keep my neck neutral. Jenna and Ethan said it was couple-friendly for stability, but it can feel too “serious” if you want that cushy first contact.
What we liked:
-
Strong anti-sag support and a very level sleep plane
-
Stable edge when sitting or scooting toward the perimeter
-
Works well for stomach/back sleepers
Who it is best for:
-
Heavier sleepers who need firm hip support
-
Stomach sleepers who want a flatter surface
-
Couples who prioritize stability over plushness
Where it falls short:
-
Side sleepers with sensitive shoulders/hips
-
Anyone who likes a plush, sink-in top feel
-
People who want a softer “hotel bed” finish
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Extra-firm support; stable for heavier bodies; dependable edges | Can feel stiff for side sleeping; less pressure relief than softer models |

Vienna 14" Premium Comfort Euro Top Hybrid Pocket Spring and Memory Foam Mattress in a Box with Reinforced Edge Support
Our Testing Experience
Vienna felt like the “most finished” mattress the moment we got sheets on it. The euro top gave me a smoother cushion when I started on my side, then the support underneath kept my hips from drifting when I rolled onto my back. Jenna and Ethan were the most decisive here: edge sitting felt secure, and when Ethan got up and came back, Jenna didn’t get that jolt she hates. Marcus liked the perimeter strength but noted that the thicker top warmed a bit more than the firm Hulen. Dr. Adrian Walker emphasized that the more stable edge can matter for posture during sit-to-stand routines.
What we liked:
-
Strongest edge support in the lineup
-
Cushier top feel without losing support
-
Most couple-friendly “all-around” stability
Who it is best for:
-
Couples using the full width of the bed
-
People who sit on the edge to get dressed
-
Sleepers who want a richer top layer than a basic tight top
Where it falls short:
-
Very hot sleepers who dislike thicker comfort stacks
-
Shoppers who want the lowest price tier
-
People who prefer an extra-firm surface
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Best edge support; balanced comfort; strong motion control | Higher price tier; can sleep warmer than the firmest model |

Compare Performance Scores of These Mattresses
| Mattress | Overall Score | Support | Pressure Relief | Cooling | Motion Isolation | Durability | Responsiveness | Edge Support |

| Luna 10 Hybrid | 3.9 | 3.8 | 4.1 | 4.0 | 3.8 | 3.8 | 4.2 | 3.5 |
| Hulen 12 Hybrid | 4.0 | 4.1 | 4.0 | 3.9 | 4.0 | 4.0 | 4.1 | 3.8 |
| Hulen 12 Extra Firm Hybrid | 4.0 | 4.4 | 3.6 | 4.0 | 4.0 | 4.1 | 4.1 | 4.0 |
| Vienna 14 Euro Top Hybrid | 4.2 | 4.2 | 4.4 | 4.0 | 4.2 | 4.2 | 4.0 | 4.5 |
The most even performance comes from the Hulen 12 Hybrid and Vienna 14 Euro Top—both avoid major weak spots, but Vienna separates itself on edge support and pressure relief. Luna’s scores show a clear “plush comfort first” profile, while the Hulen 12 Extra Firm’s numbers reflect a deliberate trade: top-tier support in exchange for less shoulder/hip give.
How to Choose the Merrick Lane Mattress?
If you want the safest all-around pick, choose Hulen 12 Hybrid for balanced alignment. If you share the bed or sit on the edge often, Vienna 14 Euro Top is the best match. If you sleep on your stomach or hate sink, Hulen 12 Extra Firm is the firmest, flattest option. If you prefer a softer first contact and a lower price point, Luna 10 Hybrid is the plushest-feeling entry.
Limitations
This lineup leans heavily toward hybrids with foam-over-coils, so shoppers wanting latex, all-foam, or adjustable firmness won’t find it here. The less expensive models don’t deliver the same edge confidence as Vienna, and the Extra Firm model can feel too rigid for side sleepers with pressure sensitivity. If you run very hot, the thicker comfort stacks can still hold warmth despite the coil airflow.
Merrick Lane Mattress Vs. Alternatives
Why choose these models
- Straightforward hybrid construction in common sizes, with a clean bed-in-a-box setup
- A clear firmness spread from plush (Luna) to extra firm (Hulen Extra Firm)
- Vienna offers reinforced edge support for couples and edge sitters
Alternatives to consider
- Linenspa Hybrid (value-focused hybrid feel at a low entry price)
- Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam (for an all-foam, more “hugging” sensation)
- Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid (for shoppers wanting more firmness options)
Pro Tips for Merrick Lane Mattress
-
Give the mattress a full 48–72 hours to reach its intended shape before judging firmness.
-
Use a supportive base; avoid flexible slats with wide gaps that can exaggerate sink.
-
For the Extra Firm model, use a slightly taller pillow if you side-sleep at all.
-
If you run warm, choose breathable sheets and avoid heavy foam toppers on Vienna.
-
For motion issues, move the bed slightly away from the wall so the frame doesn’t amplify vibrations.
-
Rotate the mattress periodically to keep wear even, especially for couples.
-
When edge-sitting matters, prioritize Vienna or the Extra Firm model over Luna.
-
If you feel hip dip on Luna, try a firmer foundation or switch to Hulen 12 Hybrid.
-
Use a mattress protector early; it keeps the surface feel more consistent over time.
-
For guest rooms, pick Luna for immediate comfort or Hulen 12 Hybrid for broader compatibility.
