The Albany Medium in the Posturepedic Elite Hybrid line is where we usually start when someone wants a noticeable cushion on top, but still a true “medium” feel under their back. It uses the same zoned, individually wrapped coil system as the other Elite hybrids, paired with a slightly firmer blend of memory and gel foams than the plush models, so your shoulders and hips can ease in without that stuck or sagging feeling. This one tends to work well for most back and side sleepers, couples with slightly different preferences, and anyone who likes to sleep a bit more “in” the mattress than a firm model but nowhere near as soft as a big pillowtop, with the cool-to-the-touch cover helping keep heat build-up in check.
