The Power of Gel Memory Foam
This medium-firm or cushion-firm Classic Brands Engage Gel Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid mattress uses gel memory foam technology to come up with the most comfortable sleeping surface possible. Regular memory foam gives a mattress a plush surface that feels like your body is being cradled as you lie down. However, memory foam is also known to retain heat, which can be a problem especially if you will stay on the mattress for long hours as you sleep. Gel memory foam is constructed with an open-cell structure which allows air to move freely through the material, giving you a cooler surface that works to keep the heat away from your body. This results in a more comfortable night’s rest without the overheated feeling.
Classic Brands Engage Gel Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid Mattress Layers
A 6-inch layer of individually wrapped steel coils forms the support layer. These coils are encased located in separate
layers so they can move independently, ensuring that movements are concentrated only around the body of the person who made the movement and will not spread to the rest of the mattress surface to disturb the other occupant(s). This layer also works to keep your body fully supported during long hours of sleeping so you can feel comfortable throughout the night. This innerspring coil layer is topped with a 1.5-inch layer of comfort foam to further enhance its supportive and comforting properties.
On top of the innerspring coil system lies a 2-inch layer of poly foam that offers a completely comfortable experience as you lay down on the mattress and rest your tired body for hours at a time.
To top it all off, the mattress features a 1-inch layer of gel-infused memory foam that brings you the comfort of this material’s pressure-relieving properties. It also works to maintain a cool and comfortable surface temperature, so your body does not feel like it is overheating, especially when you have been lying down on the mattress for long hours through the night.
Advantages of Gel Memory Foam in a Mattress
The gel memory foam in this hybrid mattress has unique properties that make it an ideal mattress material. Gel particles are infused into the visco elastic memory foam, resulting in a surface that feels plusher and at the same time promotes a cooler sensation as it works to dissipate the heat from your body. The interconnected cells of the gel memory foam are open, so they make it possible for the air to naturally circulate through the material to keep your body temperature regulated as you relax on this mattress.
This material is naturally resistant to allergens, dust mites, and mold. It is also naturally antimicrobial, adding a layer of protection for you and your loved ones.
Gel memory foam is designed to automatically and gradually adjust to your body weight, conforming fully to your body’s contours so you feel cradled in the most comfortable manner.
This material provides full support by distributing your body weight equally and allowing your spine to stay in a proper position to protect it from injury and discomfort, especially if you need to sleep for long hours. You can say
goodbye to waking up with an aching body, and instead will welcome the day feeling fully energized and refreshed after a restful night of sleep in the most comfortable manner possible.
Smart Packaging for Reduced Carbon Footprint
Smart packaging is a state-of-the-art packaging technology used by Classic Brands to reduce the overall carbon footprint during the shipping process. This advanced technology makes it possible for the mattresses to be roll-packed and shipped at one-third of their actual size. This enables the company to ship a greater number of mattresses with every delivery, resulting in a reduced amount of carbon emissions. The mattress is guaranteed to retain its initial quality and shape even after being roll-packed and will quickly go back to its original shape and size after the packaging is removed. In addition, this advanced packaging technique also allows the smaller package to be maneuvered more easily through narrow hallways and doorways on the way to the bedroom where it will eventually be set up. The mattress is packed in a way that makes it easier to be set up on the bed frame of your choice, so you can spend less time setting it up and more time enjoying its excellent features.
Material & Construction
The Classic Brands Engage Gel Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid Mattress is equipped with a wrapped innerspring coil system that works to provide superb support for the entire mattress and its occupants.
It also comes with memory foam infused with a cooling gel that dissipates heat away from your body as you sleep for several hours during the night. This will ensure that your body temperature is regulated so you can sleep restfully throughout the night without feeling uncomfortable hot spots, even when you stay in one position.
A quilted knit cover protects the mattress from premature damage while elevating the aesthetics of the bed surface with the decorative border so it can be enjoyed even without an extra bedsheet. This cover also features corded edges and knit sides that enhance the supportive properties of the mattress.

Comfort & Ergonomics
The wrapped innerspring coil system is designed to move independently so the movement is confined to the area of
the person who made the movement. This means that your movements will not disturb a loved one sharing the same bed for the most restful sleep for every person occupying the mattress.
The innerspring coils, along with the gel memory foam, also help protect your body with increased back support – keeping your spine aligned properly regardless of your sleeping position, so you do not wake up with an aching back, shoulders, or neck.
The knit sides of the cover promote good air circulation between the mattress and your body to ensure that you will always have a cool surface to sleep on, preventing hot spots from developing so you will stay coolly comfortable as you slumber.
On the other hand, the memory foam works to prevent pressure points from forming, especially when you use the mattress for long hours at a time so you will not wake up with painful body parts in the morning.
This thickness of this hybrid mattress ensures that you will always enjoy superbly luxurious and comfortable sensation whenever you lie down on its surface. It can be used with different types of bed frames and bed bases, including an adjustable bed base.

This hybrid mattress is a great choice for those who do not want to suffer from an overheated feeling which may be felt when lying down on a mattress for long hours. The gel-infused memory foam promotes good air circulation to regulate your body temperature, preventing hot spots from forming on the points of contact between your body and the mattress. This ensures that you will have a cool and comfortable sleeping experience.
It is an ideal choice for individuals who are prone to unconscious movements during the night and do not want to disturb their partner with all the uncontrolled moving. The innerspring steel coils are designed to move independently so that every person’s movement is concentrated solely in that specific area. This means that no matter how much you toss and turn during the night your partner will not be disturbed out of a deep slumber since the movements you make will not spread to other parts of the mattress.
This hybrid mattress is an ideal option for people who are suffering from common allergies and sensitivities, as it is constructed with hypoallergenic and antimicrobial materials which are also resistant to dust mites and mold.

Verdict
The Classic Brands Engage Gel Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid has excellent features that ensure you and
your loved ones will enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep. Choose this hybrid mattress if you want to end the discomfort of aching shoulders, back, and neck as a result of the unnatural position that your spine takes as you sleep. The supportive innerspring coil system works along with the gel memory foam layer to keep your spine properly aligned through several hours of deep slumber, so you can wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and free of body aches.
The gel-infused memory foam layer is a great addition to enhance the overall comfort offered by this product. This layer keeps the heat away from your body through the help of an open-cell structure that lets air circulate freely through the material. The result is a cooler sensation to keep you completely comfortable even through several hours of sleep so you will not have that uncomfortable overheated feeling that can disturb what should be a restful night’s sleep.
Its individually wrapped innerspring coils system is a valuable addition to your sleeping experience if you or a loved one is prone to moving fitfully in your sleep through the night. This innerspring system works to focus the movement only on the specific area of the person who made the movement. This hybrid mattress is thus a superb choice if you do not want to disturb your partner or loved one with your continuous movement throughout the night since the movement is not spread to all the areas of the mattress.
It should be noted, however, that the medium firmness of this Classic Brands hybrid mattress may not be suitable for all customers. The supportive 6-inch layer of individually wrapped steel coils provide ample support but may result in a firm surface that some people find to be too uncomfortable to use, especially for long periods. While the gel memory foam layer gives the mattress a plusher and more comfortable profile, there are individuals who prefer to have the much softer surface of a pure memory foam mattress. As such, those who are transitioning to using a hybrid mattress such as this product may take some time to get used to the firm-yet-cushiony surface that is a result of combining memory foam with an innerspring coil system.
About Classic Brands
Classic Brands began its journey as a manufacturer and seller of waterbeds which had a huge following in the 1970s. Back then, the company went by the name Classic Corporation. It was not long before the company became the top producer and seller of waterbeds first in the US, and then worldwide. In 2002, the company decided to expand its product line to include other types of mattresses, such as memory foam and latex. They also transitioned into a new company name – Classic Brands. Shortly after, they began manufacturing and selling other sleep-related items like pillows and bed frames.
Classic Brands has its headquarters in a 100,000-square-foot property in Baltimore, Maryland, where their products are designed and manufactured as well. Not long after setting up the sprawling headquarters, the company set up another warehouse – this time in Los Angeles, California to reach out and be more accessible to more customers all over the entire United States. Incidentally, a lot of the craftsmen that were a part of the company when they started as Classic Corporation are still with them, some 20 years or so after their launch. These craftsmen continue to be part of the production of top-quality mattresses and sleep-related products.
