When hip or other joint pain keeps you up all night, finding a mattress offering both support and pain relief can have a big impact on your sleep. Brooklyn Bedding impressed us with its consistently high scores in both pressure and pain relief. That’s why Brooklyn Bedding has made it into some of our top lists. The Signature Hybrid bed earned a spot in our best mattresses for hip pain, and the Aurora Luxe is one of our top beds for side sleepers.

Brooklyn Bedding has been making and selling mattresses for 30 years. It offers a wide selection, including both hybrid and memory foam mattresses. Brooklyn Bedding also produces beds designed for specific needs, such as mattresses for higher-weight sleepers. You can also customize each mattress by choosing your preferred firmness and optional upgrades.

In this Brooklyn Bedding mattress review, we look at three popular models: the Aurora Luxe Cooling, the Signature Hybrid, and the CopperFlex. Read on to discover how we evaluated these mattresses, and how our findings might help you sleep better.

Why choose Brooklyn Bedding?

Brooklyn Bedding offers a wide variety of mattresses, and we found that they offer good value. We especially like them for those who prefer to sleep cool or are looking for pressure and pain relief. These mattresses use materials certified free of harmful chemicals, including formaldehyde. Brooklyn Bedding mattresses arrive compressed and may be easier to move and set up yourself than a traditional mattress.

Brooklyn Bedding was one of the first mattress companies to adopt the “bed-in-a-box” model. They keep prices lower by shipping a compressed mattress directly to your door. We appreciate the brand’s commitment to convenience and the cost savings of buying direct from the Arizona factory.

While this review focuses on Brooklyn Bedding’s own mattresses, the company also makes other well-known brands. Titan mattresses, designed for higher-weight sleepers, and Plank mattresses, which specialize in extra-firm beds, are both owned by Brooklyn Bedding.

Two of the mattresses in our Brooklyn Bedding review, the Aurora Luxe Cooling and the Signature Hybrid, are both at the low end of medium-firm (5/10). Our mattress firmness guide explains why firmness matters and how to choose the right level for you. In our tests, both hybrid Brooklyn Bedding mattresses earned perfect scores for bounce, which helps you move on the mattress, and 4/5 scores for cooling. The CopperFlex is the brand's most budget-friendly option, featuring high scores for motion isolation and edge support. Brooklyn Bedding offers free shipping, a 120-night trial period, and a lifetime limited warranty on all its products.

White-glove delivery (set-up of your new mattress) is not an option

Our experience with the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling

The Aurora Luxe Cooling mattress lives up to its name. It was one of the best hybrid mattresses we tested at preventing heat buildup. This hybrid mattress has several layers devoted to regulating temperature, including a cooling cover. Our older adult testers noticed the difference right away, with one noting that the surface “almost feels wet because of how soft, silky, and cool it is.”

Along with its GlacioTex cooling cover, Brooklyn Bedding also offers an optional cooling Cloud pillowtop. “There's no extra fabric or any heavy quilting on the top, which I think helps it not feel so bulky and like it'll retain heat,” said a tester. “The top actually feels several degrees colder than everything around it.” Our heat gun test revealed the mattress experienced a temperature increase of less than 10 degrees after use (which is below average).

A hand holding a heat gun pointed at the mattress. — We used a heat gun to measure the mattress temperature before and after use, and the Aurora Luxe Cooling mattress showed a difference of less than 10 degrees.

While this mattress’s main attribute is temperature control, our testers also noted its responsiveness. Chris, 66, a higher-weight back sleeper with sleep apnea and spinal stenosis, said when he pushed down on the mattress, there was firm resistance, and “It comes back up pretty quickly.” He said that made it easier to change positions while lying on the Aurora Luxe. It may also be why Chris, who has a higher body weight, rated this mattress as significantly firmer (8/10) than the brand’s claim (5/10).

“You sit on top of this mattress so much,” he said. Often, higher-weight sleepers need a firmer mattress that can evenly distribute their weight to prevent pressure from building up at contact points like the hips and shoulders. But the Aurora Luxe earned high praise for back support from Chris, who has chronic back pain.

One area where this mattress fell short was in edge support. When seated on the side of the bed, Chris said he felt like he was going to slide off and called it the worst edge support of any mattress he tried. He did note that when lying or sitting further back from the edge, the support was much better. But if you find it challenging to get in and out of bed, you may prefer a mattress with more reinforcement at the sides.

The top feels really cool. When I lie down on the mattress, I don't feel heat building up at all, and every part of my body that's touching the mattress feels a few degrees cooler than the rest of my body. I'm really impressed with the cooling of this mattress.”

—Chris, 66, one of our testers

Who is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe right for?

If you’re looking for a mattress that is supportive and stays cool, the Aurora Luxe has high marks in both categories. It also responds well to movement and scored high in our pain relief tests, so it may be an option for those with chronic pain or mobility issues.

I may love it if I:
Sleep with a partner	No
Have chronic pain	Yes
Feel hot at night	Yes
Have mobility concerns	Yes
Sleep in the following positions	Side, back, stomach

Who should keep looking for their perfect mattress?

Light sleepers or those who are easily disturbed by a partner’s movements may find this bed doesn’t do enough to shield them from motion.
If you tend to sleep near the edge of the bed or have trouble getting in and out of bed, this mattress may not offer the edge support you need.
If you need help setting up a new mattress or removing an old one, Brooklyn Bedding and its affiliated brands do not offer that service.

Our experience with the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid

The Signature Hybrid is Brooklyn Bedding’s second-most affordable hybrid mattress. Like the Aurora Luxe, you can choose your preferred firmness level: soft (3/10), medium (5/10), or firm (7/10). The difference is varying levels of contouring foam over a layer of 8-inch steel springs.

Testers commented on how plush this mattress feels several times, saying,” It is super soft.” They rated it as a 3/10 firmness compared to the brand’s actual 5/10 rating.

A woman presses her hand down on the top of the Signature Hybrid mattress — Our older adult testers felt the Signature Hybrid mattress was soft but responsive.

At times, the layers of memory foam made it difficult to move, according to one of our testers, Sheila, a 70-year-old average-weight combination sleeper. “I feel stuck in this mattress. I am sinking in a lot,” she said. “I feel like I have to push myself and use more effort to move.” That also translated to low scores for edge support. “When sitting on the edge, I feel like I did sink in pretty extensively,” Sheila said. “The mattress collapses in slightly and the side bulges out. If I was wearing softer pajamas I am afraid I would slide off.”

Where the Signature Hybrid shines is in its superior cooling and pressure relief. Our testers laid on a pressure map, which uses sensors to measure pressure buildup on the body. Based on the results, the Signature Hybrid received perfect 5/5 scores for back and side sleeping, and 4/5 for stomach. Sheila was a fan of the stomach sleeping position. “I feel like this mattress is really good for stomach sleeping because of how soft it is,” she said. “As a woman, I need more relief or sinkage on my stomach for my breasts. My spine feels really aligned, and I feel comfortable.”

A woman lying face down on a pressure map device on the Signature Hybrid mattress — Pressure map tests showed near-perfect scores for stomach sleeping, and perfect scores for back and side sleeping on the Signature Hybrid mattress.

The exceptional support of the Signature Hybrid may be due to the sturdy steel spring layer, which testers also gave a 5/5 for bounce. “The mattress bounces back immediately when pushing in,” noted Sheila. Good bounce often helps with mobility, making it easier to move or switch positions on a mattress. It isn’t great for limiting a partner's movement, though. Even with individually wrapped coils, our testers still felt the motion, particularly in their shoulders and neck. “It was less pronounced in my hips,” Sheila said.

Initially, if you got into bed, I might be able to sleep through that, but when you twisted, I felt it the most. I didn't feel like I bounced, but the motion did disturb me. It felt like a ripple effect. The repositioning, I think, would have woken me up. ”

—Sheila, 70, one of our testers

Who is the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid right for?

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid scored well in both accessibility and pain relief. Those who want extra bounce to change positions easily in bed, sleep hot, or have chronic pain may find their mattress match in the Signature Hybrid.

I may love it if I:
Sleep with a partner	No
Have chronic pain	Yes
Feel hot at night	Yes
Have mobility concerns	Yes
Sleep in the following positions	Back, side, stomach

Who should keep looking for their perfect mattress?

Anyone who may be disturbed by a partner’s movements should look for a mattress with better motion isolation.
If you require strong edge support because you tend to sleep close to the edge or may need assistance getting in and out of bed, this is not a great choice.
If you need help setting up a new mattress or removing an old one, Brooklyn Bedding and its affiliated brands do not offer that service.

Our experience with the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Memory Foam

Brooklyn Bedding’s CopperFlex Memory Foam is a firmer all-foam mattress that still keeps you cool. The mattress gets its name from the copper-infused foam it uses to disperse body heat.

Our testers noted the bed felt best on their backs. But they felt too much pressure when resting on their sides. Due to the firmer feel of the bed, they did suggest that “the bed would be good for someone who is of a heavier weight.” While Brooklyn Bedding claims the CopperFlex Memory Foam is a medium-firm (6.5/10) mattress, our testers found it to be more like 8/10. Lighter-weight and side sleepers will likely find it too hard. But it's a great memory foam choice for higher-weight sleepers and those who find most memory foam beds too soft.

A close-up picture of the end of the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Memory Foam mattress — Our testers appreciated the CopperFlex Memory Foam's sleek, luxurious look.

One tester found switching sleeping positions difficult. “You really have to work to get up," they said. This was due in part to the low bounce recorded during our testing. A low bounce score means the bed isn't very responsive, so people who move around at night may struggle.

What really stood out was the CopperFlex’s cooling (4/5), edge support (4.3/5), and motion isolation (5/5).

When our testers tried getting in and out of bed, they felt supported and stable. “Someone who needs assistance would have no issues getting in and out,” one tester said. The sturdy edge support speaks to the bed’s durable structure. This feature may make the CopperFlex a good option for people who have mobility issues.

A person lying on their back on the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Memory Foam mattress — The firmer feel of the CopperFlex makes it a good choice for higher-weight people who sleep on their backs and enjoy the feel of memory foam.

While many all-foam mattresses tend to trap body heat, the CopperFlex offers impressive cooling. This is great for people who struggle to sleep when hot, as one tester said, "the mattress is cool to the touch. I don't feel myself heating up at all, which I like.”

Couples and restless sleepers should appreciate the CopperFlex's motion isolation, too. Its perfect score is likely due to its durable design and foam’s ability to absorb motion. The mattress has seven distinct layers of varying comfort and support foams. During testing, we noticed these layers worked well together to keep the bed stable and prevent disruptive motion.

Our testers appreciated the CopperFlex's cover and look. “The cover is nice! It's comfortable, and I love the color of the pattern. I am a really big fan of the pattern! It looks luxurious!” said one tester.

The CopperFlex’s durable design should make for a longer-lasting mattress. We also like that Brooklyn Bedding uses CertiPUR-US-certified foam. These are certified free of harmful chemicals and metals. So, along with the copper infused in the foam, you can expect a more hypoallergenic mattress.

If I were to wake up on the edge in the middle of the night, I would have no fear of falling off. This has very adequate edge support when lying down."

—One of our testers

Who is the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Memory Foam right for?

The Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Memory Foam’s scores for motion isolation, cooling, and edge support make it an excellent choice for those who share a bed. We recommend it for those looking for a firmer all-foam mattress. Those who sleep hot or want durable edge support may also like the CopperFlex.

I may love it if I:
Sleep with a partner	Yes
Have chronic pain	No
Feel hot at night	Yes
Have mobility concerns	Yes
Sleep in the following positions	Back

Who should keep looking for their perfect mattress?

People who change sleeping positions during the night may want to look for a bed with better responsiveness.
Side and lightweight sleepers may want to find a softer feeling memory foam mattress.
Experiences vary, but people seeking pain relief may find the CopperFlex too firm to relieve joint pressure.
