Pros & Cons

Mattress Construction

The mattress is a hybrid bed-in-a-box mattress consisting of 4 layers of foam and coils. It also has a sturdy handle at each of its edges to help you move the mattress when you wish to.

Cover: The mattress cover is made from a combination of cotton and poly foam. The poly foam itself is quilted with a light layer of memory foam, for immediate pressure relief. Due to its make, the cover is both soft and breathable.

Layer 1: The topmost layer is made out of patented TitanFlex foam, which gives the mattress a contouring feel and is incredibly responsive. This foam is made out of latex and is hyperelastic. It sleeps cool and allows for easy movement on top of the mattress.

Layer 2: This transitionary foam layer is firmer than the first layer and helps the mattress transition from memory foam into its pocketed steel coil support system. The firm option of this mattress replaces the memory foam in this layer with high-density foam for added firmness.

Layer 3: These individually pocketed coils provide substantial amounts of bounce, breathability and structure of the mattress. The breathability allows the mattress to better dissipate your body heat, making the Brooklyn Bedding mattress a great option for hot sleepers.

Layer 4: A thin layer of high density foam. The foam protects the steel coils from bouncing on the bed's foundation and damaging it, as well as help keep the mattress in place.

Feel

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature has an adjustable firmness scale, making it a fantastic option for most. The scale ranges from soft to firm, so choose the model that suits your preferred feel and sleeping positions (softer for side sleepers, firmer for back and stomach sleepers).

The cushioning depth of the mattress is rather shallow, meaning that you feel like you're sleeping on top of it rather than in it. This is good for people who prefer to feel more supported and less hugged by their mattress.

Pressure Relief

This is definitely one of the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid's strong points. While the softer versions excel at this even more than the firm versions, all versions provide ample support and pressure relief, letting you sleep comfortably in any position no matter the firmness.

Motion Isolation

The Brooklyn Signature Hybrid's pocketed coils grant it fantastic motion isolation that's common for high-quality hybrid mattresses. If you sleep next to a partner who's tossing and turning, you'll barely notice their movements, let alone wake up from them.

Repositioning

The The Brooklyn Bedding Signature is extremely responsive and fairly bouncy, and thanks to the mattress' low cushioning depth, is easy to move around one. This is perfect for combination sleepers who move and change positions throughout the night, as well as for sex.

Edge Support

While the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid's edge support is better than most foam mattresses, it doesn't have a foam perimeter or noticeable rigid outer springs to give the mattress better edge support like many other hybrid mattresses have. It is still more than adequate to support anyone weighing around 200 lbs.

Heat Retention

As with most hybrid mattresses, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature's heat dissipation is excellent. The coil layer lets air in and out which helps keep you cool at night, and in this regard, the lack of a foam perimeter around the mattress works in its benefit by allowing for even more breathability.

Additionally, the first layer of TitanFlex foam is gel infused, making it a good heat conductor and allowing your body heat to transfer downwards throughout the mattress and dissipate through the pocketed coil layer.

Lastly, this mattress doesn't fully conform to your body, allowing for more of your body's surface area to breath and therefore you to better regulate your temperature.

Frame & Foundation

Any type of foundation that provides minimal to no flex will work with the Brooklyn Bedding Signature. This includes most platform, slat, and box spring foundations. If you lack a suitable foundation, Brooklyn Bedding offers a selection of bases you can choose from, depending on how high you want them to be, how much space you want to have underneath them and you budget. They cost between $129-$186 before discounts.

You also have a selection of several adjustable bases, with prices ranging between $599 to $1,398 (depending on the size and type of the base), which the Brooklyn Bedding Signature is very compatible with. Not only does it conform to the adjustable base, the mattress also holds its shape even when the head and feet sections of the base are fully elevated. Considering that this mattress is a hybrid and not entirely made of foam, this is quite impressive.

Additional Details

Mattresses made by Brooklyn Bedding are made in the US (specifically, in Phoenix, Arizona). All foams used in their construction are CertiPUR-US Certified, meaning they're toxin free and meet the highest health standards in the industry.

Brooklyn Bedding products are not only high quality, though. They are also fairly cheap. On top of them being very competitively priced, Brooklyn Bedding offers a 25% discount on most of its products throughout the year if you purchase them from their company site.

Shipping & Delivery

Brooklyn Bedding provides free FedEx ground shipping to all US states, with the exception of for Hawaii and Alaska, a delivery to which will cost the purchaser an additional $125. They also ship to Canada for an additional $250. Shipping charges are non-refundable.

You will receive your mattress within a week or two after purchase directly to your doorstep via FedEx or UPS. From there, you're advised to use a dolly or ask another person to help you carry it inside. Opening it and setting it up should only take you a few minutes.

Bed-in-a-box mattresses are ruined if they are not taken out of their boxes within a given time period. Mattresses that are ruined in this way cannot be returned, so be sure to open your new mattress and let it inflate after you receive it. You're also advised to let it off-gas in a well ventilated area so its factory smell dissipates.

Returns & Warranty

The mattress can be trialed for up to 120 nights and, in the case of a return, there are no shipping fees and customers can opt for a full refund. Brooklyn Bedding requires that the sleepers try the mattress out for 30 nights to break it in and get accustomed to it, which is an industry standard.

Customers also have the option to make adjustments to their mattress. If they want, for example, a mattress that is firmer or softer, they may opt for Brooklyn Bedding to simply reship them a different kind of mattress.

Brooklyn Bedding provides a 10 year warranty on all of their mattresses. There are prerequisites that sleepers must follow in order for Brooklyn Bedding to honor their warranty:

• Your mattress must be not restricted. All mattresses must be given sufficient airflow.
• If you are using slats, make sure the slats are fully supported and not spaced more than 3 inches apart. If the slats are bowed in anyway they must be replaced or they will not support the mattress properly.
• If you are using a box spring, make sure it's not a semi-flexible foundation. If the box spring bends or flexes, you must replace it because it will not support the mattress properly.
