Brooklyn Bedding Signature 11" Hybrid Mattress with Pressure Relieving Foam, King Firm

This is perfection.Alright, I waited two weeks after buying this mattress to give it my undivided attention...as much attention as you can give something when you are sleeping of course. I wanted to give myself time to adjust to a new surface (it can take around 10-14 days for your neck and back to fully assimilate).I spent weeks before biting the bullet and pressing buy researching various mattress companies.What I was looking for: Something relatively soft. Something cooling. Something that offered support for back and side sleepers. Something that would not break the bank. Something that would last longer than a year.So the Verdict: This mattress is firm in the sense that it is memory foam. If you are going from a spring mattress to this it will feel so firm at first. When we first lay on it I was concerned that I would find it awful. It took a few days to adjust, but honestly I've never slept better. The mattress is designed to support pressure points. Honestly it's better for your back and spine to get this and invest in a topper/mattress pad that adds comfort. If you absolutely are worried it's going to be too firm, go for the soft version. Although I will mention the medium is designed for both side and back sleepers for proper spine alignment.The other thing was the need for something to be cooling. My bf and I are both warm sleepers, and memory foam can be hot. The Brooklyn is designed with three layers of foam, the two cooling ones layered on top. We haven't had any issues with warmer-than-before sleeping so it seemed to really work.The price, well, it is worth it and every other cooling mattress I seemed to research that seemed to actually work and be reletivly soft were going up in the thousands. A mattress which you use every day is an important investment but I also want to buy a house eventually. This seemed to be on the middle of more than the ones that were questionable in quality and ones that were out of budget. While I've had it less than a month and can't attest to the lasting a year, it's a pretty safe bet we will have it longer.In the end: Please buy this, it is well worth it. Give it time to expand (ours took less than 12 hours). While there may be a smell from the plastic (as said in other reviews in several rolled up delivered foam mattresses) we couldn't detect anything. Do yourself a favor, invest in a nice mattress protector to extend it's life and protect yourself from dust and other things.

I saw many RV videos of people recommending Brooklyn Bedding. My old mattress & boxspring were showing wear. I purchased the mattress as a replacement. I ordered a firm mattress. I am happy with the purchase. It is a nice, firm mattress. I may order one of their mattress toppers to cut to size to replace the innards of the cushions in the RV.

Update 7/26/2020: 2 months later and this mattress is still awesome. We've never slept better (as a couple) and are so happy that we took the plunge and bought this. No problems yet, but will be sure to update again.5/17/2020: This mattress arrived 2 days ago (in a box that looked like it had gone through the 9 circles of hell but the mattress was, thankfully, unscathed due to the plastic wrap job). It’s only been 2 days but we LOVE this mattress. Firm but not TOO firm - like a 7 on the firmness scale (I weigh 130lbs so it might feel softer to someone heavier). Much better than our previous pillow top mattress/sauna oven that cooked us into a sweaty mess every night. This bed has kept us cool and comfortable. My body is a little sore when I wake up but that’s expected when sleeping on new mattresses. And sleeping is great - I can’t feel my husband thrashing around anymore and, also, once we fall asleep WE BOTH SLEEP HARD.I will be sure to update in a few months!!!

There is stupid soft and sensible soft. This is sensible. I don’t sink into it. It doesn’t become some expensive hammock. My body adjusts so it seems my spine is kept straight, therefore hips and shoulders are a bit lower due to the sensible softness. My extensive research indicated this brand’s soft was made especially for people like me, a side sleeping slightly overweight grandma with back and hip issues. Sleepoplis does excellent reviews. As do Amazon customers. I am finding this a perfect mattress for my needs. Perfect. Very fearful of not trying it first, but grew to trust professional reviewers with nothing to gain. The delivery guy helped me get it into the house. Opened very carefully as it is wrapped in layers of plastic and it just popped up. No odor. None at all. Let it sit there then slept on it that night. I would buy this again in a minute. No doubts at all.

Buyers beware - the product description is misleading. When you buy the mattress here, it is NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY unless you buy it from dreamfoam bedding, which is not the default seller. The 10 year warranty automatically offered from Brooklyn Bedding has to be bought here. It is also not covered for free returns.I should have heeded the warning of other reviewers, but prior to buying my mattress I called both Amazon and Brooklyn Bedding. Both parties I spoke with assured me the warranty was still valid, so I went ahead and bought on Amazon for the faster shipping.After my purchase I also called Amazon and Brooklyn Bedding again multiple times to confirm whether or not my mattress was covered under warranty. I reached support agents who were clueless and could not help me. Just a waste of time.Turns out if you want to return a mattress you bought on Amazon, you would have to pay a restocking fee of $150 and pay $60 for them to come pick it up.Save yourself the headache and buy directly from Brooklyn Bedding.* MATTRESS REVIEW 4.5 STARS *Note my 1-star review above is for the purchase process and not the mattress itself. I bought the mattress on the recommendation of a friend who swears by it. I would buy it again and recommend it to my friends too.The mattress is very comfortable. Unlike some other memory foam mattresses that I feel like I'm sinking into, the Brooklyn Bedding one has a nice balance of springiness with the foam softness. 4.5 stars instead of 5 since the medium might be a little soft for my taste, so I had wanted to exchange it for a firm.
