The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress provides a noteworthy balance of comfort, support, and responsiveness. It has broad appeal due to its multiple firmness levels and the company’s customer-friendly policies.

Our expert take

The Signature Hybrid is available in three firmness levels; our review focuses on the medium firm model. It sits at a six out of 10 on the firmness scale, giving it a nice balance between softness and support. It scored a 3.5 out of five for support, making it adequate for most sleepers, though higher-weight sleepers (more than 250 pounds) might need more. Edge support was fair, with a three out of five score, because our tester noted some sinkage when sitting on the edge.

This mattress tends to retain heat, so it only scored a two out of five for cooling, which might be a concern for hot sleepers.

The mattress is quite responsive, scoring a four out of five, making it good for mobility but not so great for motion isolation. Our tester found it very easy to change positions. As to be expected, it scored a three out of five for motion isolation, making it suitable for some couples. It will likely cause movement disturbance from partners who toss and turn a lot.

It excels in pressure relief, with a four out of five score, making it suitable for side sleepers. Our tester noted it effectively cradled pressure points and felt comfortable in all sleeping positions.

The overall functional support score (our measure of suitability for older adults) was 3.25 out of five. Older adults may need better edge support for ease of getting in and out of bed and avoiding falls. The firmer model would likely perform better for older adults because it would provide better ease of movement and support.

Shannon MacDonald, a physical therapist in Denver, Colorado, told us, “I tell my patients with limited mobility to go for a firmer mattress with a bit of bounce. That way, they can move around with the least amount of effort.”

The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress is a great choice for people looking for a firmer, cooler sleeping experience.

Our expert take

The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress is an upgraded model designed to provide enhanced cooling and comfort features. This review focuses on the medium-firm model, which is quite a bit firmer than the medium-firm model of the Signature Hybrid. It scores 7.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale.

The cooling abilities of this mattress come from an array of technological features. The springs in this hybrid mattress have individually wrapped coils for extra ventilation. It also uses a GlacioTex coverⓘ Hypoallergenic fabric made from fibers with high thermal conductivity that allow heat to be quickly pulled away from your body , Copperflex foam (a hyper-elastic foam), and gel swirl memory foamⓘ Hypoallergenic fabric made from fibers with high thermal conductivity that allow heat to be quickly and effectively pulled away from your body . Our tester rated it a four out of five for cooling, about as high as you can get in this category.

This mattress is able to provide exceptional pressure relief even though it has a firmer feel. It received a perfect five out of five score for pressure relief, making it particularly beneficial for side sleepers and those with joint pain. Our tester felt comfortable in all sleeping positions and found position changes easy.

Overall support is a 3.5 out of five, so it is suitable for most sleepers, although it may not provide enough support for higher-weight people. Edge support is enhanced, with a 4.5 out of five score. Our test noted that the support plus the higher mattress height can help make getting in and out of bed easier for older adults.

This mattress has moderate bounce, with a three out of five score, balancing responsiveness and stability. But the motion transfer score is on the lower side (2.5 out of five), which may be an issue for couples.

The overall functional support score for older adults is 3.8 out of five, higher than the Signature Hybrid (3.25 out of five) due to its firmer feel and more robust edge support.

Our recommendation

Who may love it

• Those who prefer a firmer mattress
• Hot sleepers who value advanced cooling technology
• Sleepers seeking superior edge support

Who may want to avoid it

• Couples who are sensitive to motion transfer
• Those on a budget, due to the higher price

Our expert opinion on the Aurora Luxe mattress

The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress should appeal to hot sleepers who appreciate edge support. Although it’s firmer than the Signature Hybrid, it comes in soft, medium, and firm options to cater to all types and weight sleepers.

Lighter-weight sleepers tend to appreciate a softer firmness, while higher-weight sleepers tend to want a firmer surface. The medium-firm option may suit older adults and allow for ease of movement. But you should consider the higher price and moderate motion transfer when deciding if this is your best option.

Brooklyn Bedding has a line of especially firm mattresses called Plank. The Plank Firm is a dual-sided, all-foam mattress with a firm side (7.5 out of 10) and an extra firm side (nine out of 10).

Our expert take

An extra firm mattress, like the Plank Firm, is great for back and stomach sleepers because it keeps the hips from sinking too far. It also provides enough support for higher-weight sleepers. This mattress scored a three out of five for support and a five out of five for edge support. It also performed well for heat dissipation, scoring a four out of five, so it would be suitable for warm sleepers.

The extreme firmness translates to less pressure relief, where it scored a three out of five, so it would probably be uncomfortable for most side sleepers who would feel pressure buildup on the shoulders and hips.

Bounce and motion isolation were both average (three out of five and 3.5 out of five, respectively), so it may not be the best option for older adults or couples. But it had the highest functional support score in this review (4.1 out of five) due to its high firmness level.

Our recommendation

Who may love it

• Higher-weight sleepers in search of an ultra-firm mattress
• Those who require robust edge support
• Back sleepers who benefit from firmer support

Who may want to avoid it

• Side sleepers or those who prefer a softer, more cushioning sleep surface
• Couples who prioritize motion isolation

Our expert opinion on the Plank Firm mattress

The memory foam at the top of this mattress is quite firm. It doesn’t give that sinking feeling some memory foam does, so it allows for ease of movement. Our average-weight tester (130–250 pounds) noted that their hips did not sink at all, which made it uncomfortable for side sleeping.
