Our verdict
DLX is one of the few DTC brands still building mattresses to order in the United States rather than warehousing compressed inventory, and the Premier Hybrid is the model that shows why that matters. It is hand-tufted rather than glued, which means the comfort layers are physically stitched through the mattress and cannot shift or delaminate the way a bonded foam stack eventually does. Underneath sits a zoned pocket-coil unit with a reinforced perimeter, and the whole thing arrives via white glove delivery in a Queen at $1,699 โ roughly Saatva Classic territory, with a longer trial and better materials disclosure. The medium is the one to buy for most people; the soft is genuinely soft and the firm is genuinely firm.

Firmness Level
Medium (6/10)
What We Love
- Hand-tufted construction rather than glued layers โ far better long-term shape retention
- Made to order in the US after you buy, not pulled from a compressed warehouse
- 365-night trial and 20-year warranty
- Free white glove delivery and old-mattress removal
- Three firmness options with a genuine spread between them
What Could Be Better
- 14 inches and heavy โ deep-pocket sheets required
- Built to order, so delivery takes longer than a boxed bed
- Less brand recognition than Saatva or WinkBed at the same price
- Tufted surface has slight surface dimples some sleepers notice at first
Best For
- Back sleepers and combination sleepers
- Couples who want strong edge support
- Buyers comparing against Saatva Classic and WinkBed
- Anyone who wants a US-made, non-glued build
Not Ideal For
- Shoppers who need a bed this week
- Memory foam devotees
- Low platform frames where 14 inches is too tall
Mattress Construction
Quilted Euro-Top Cover
Hand-tufted panel stitched through the mattress so the comfort layers cannot migrate
Latex and Foam Comfort Layers
Responsive latex over transition foam for contour without the trapped-heat feel of thick memory foam
Zoned Pocket Coil Unit
Individually wrapped coils firmed up under the lumbar region and softened at the shoulders
Reinforced Perimeter and Base
Higher-gauge edge coils plus a base foam layer for sit-on-the-edge support
Sleep Position Analysis
Side Sleepers
At 6/10 firmness, the DLX Premier Hybrid (Medium) may be worth trying for side sleepers who prefer a medium surface. Body shape, shoulder width and individual preferences can change how the same mattress feels.
Back Sleepers
The DLX Premier Hybrid (Medium)'s listed firmness of 6/10 may suit back sleepers seeking a medium-to-firm surface. Spinal alignment and hip support have not been objectively measured for this model unless documented test results appear above.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers generally need sufficient hip support. At the published firmness of 6/10, the DLX Premier Hybrid (Medium) may suit some stomach sleepers, but a medium pillow-top model may be too soft for others. We have not recorded instrumented hip-sinkage or alignment measurements for this model.
Combination Sleepers
The DLX Premier Hybrid (Medium)'s hybrid construction provides responsive support that may make changing positions easier than with some slow-response all-foam designs. Pocketed coils can add responsiveness, but ease of movement varies with the comfort layers and the sleeper.
Which DLX Premier Hybrid (Medium) Model Should You Buy?
DLX is the direct-to-consumer line from a long-running domestic mattress manufacturer, and the Premier Hybrid is its core product โ an American-built, coil-on-coil hybrid sold at roughly what a boxed brand charges for a foam bed.
| Model | Firmness | Best for | Queen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premier Hybrid Medium | 6/10 | Side and combination sleepersOur pick. The middle firmness and the one that fits the widest range of sleepers. | $1,699 |
| Premier Hybrid Plush | 4.5/10 | Strict side sleepersDeeper pillow-top cushioning. Better shoulder relief, more sink at the hip. | $1,699 |
| Premier Hybrid Firm | 7.5/10 | Stomach and heavier back sleepersThe support-first option. Thin quilting over the coil-on-coil core. | $1,699 |
| Latex Hybrid | 6/10 | Cool, buoyant supportNatural latex comfort layer instead of foam. Cooler and longer-lived. | $1,999 |
DLX Premier Hybrid (Medium) Prices by Size
Premier Hybrid pricing by size โ one price across all three firmnesses. DLX discounts around the standard holiday calendar rather than running permanent sales.
| Size | Dimensions | List price | Typical sale price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twin XL | 38" x 80" | $1,299 | ~$1,099 in holiday sales |
| Full | 53" x 75" | $1,499 | ~$1,299 in holiday sales |
| Queen | 60" x 80" | $1,699 | ~$1,449 in holiday sales |

Read the full DLX Premier Hybrid (Medium) vs. Saatva Classic comparison โDLX Premier Hybrid (Medium) vs. Brooklyn Aurora Luxe
$1,999 queenChoose the DLX Premier Hybrid (Medium) if: You want traditional coil-on-coil support rather than cooling foam.
Choose the Brooklyn Aurora Luxe if: You sleep hot and want phase-change cooling in the cover.
Read the full DLX Premier Hybrid (Medium) vs. Brooklyn Aurora Luxe comparison โCoil-on-coil is the whole design argument
Most hybrids at this price are foam-on-coil: a single pocket coil unit with two or three inches of foam above. DLX stacks a microcoil layer above the main support coils, so the transition from comfort to support is gradual instead of abrupt. Practically, that means you get contour at the shoulder without the hip dropping โ the thing thin-foam hybrids struggle with.
It also changes durability. Steel does not compress permanently the way comfort foam does, so a coil-on-coil bed tends to hold its feel years longer than a foam-topped one at the same price.
Choosing among Plush, Medium and Firm
Medium at 6 out of 10 is the safe default and covers side sleepers, combination sleepers and most back sleepers under about 230 lb. Plush is for strict side sleepers who want the shoulder to disappear into the surface. Firm is for stomach sleepers and heavier back sleepers who need the hips held high.
Because all three cost the same, the decision is purely about fit โ there's no upsell pressure toward a firmness that doesn't suit you, which is unusual in this segment.
Trial, warranty and build origin
The mattresses are built domestically, which shows in the coil and cover quality more than in any marketing claim. DLX ships compressed in a box despite the coil-on-coil build, so setup is a normal unboxing.
The trial runs 120 nights with a lifetime warranty on the Premier line. That warranty term matters more on a coil-heavy mattress than a foam one, because coil units are what warranties actually pay out on.
