Brooklyn BeddingSelect 14" Gel Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress, Full

I find that this mattress is a bit too soft for me, I sink about two inches. I'm 5'2 and weigh about 170 lbs. also It builds up heat, it feels cold when I first get into bed. This may be due to my weight or something else. I find that I wake up about four times a night to roll over to a cooler part of the bed.Update:The 120 day trial is legit!I didn't need to use the extended warranty, I contacted the seller through A-Z and he was GREAT! NO HAGGLING! He had me donate the mattress to a non profit ( with receipt sent to him) or due to being so rural area and no non profit being near me he said I could give it to a neighbor or friend but that I need to send a receipt for it. Some reason the receipt wouldn't load, it kept saying error but did fine when I sent it as a screenshot. Again the 120 day trial is legit! Also Amazon automatically cancelled for me the extended warranty and sent the refund back to me when Brooklyn bedding sent my refund, which was done by the next morning. I added two more stars because of the no haggling. Great company!

I chatted with Brooklyn Bedding to figure out a bit more about this mattress, since the details here are pretty scant.The 8” queen mattress (the one we ordered) contains 840 Ascension X coils, which are 6” high and 16 gauge. The coils on the sides are wound more tightly for increased support (there is no edge support at the head or foot, just the left & right). The 6” coil isn’t super common in BB’s products.The 10”, 12”, and 14” mattresses use 8” Ascension X coils (also 840 in the queen size), which are also 16 gauge in the center of the mattress, and 14.75 gauge on the sides for edge support. These are used in several other Brooklyn Bedding mattress lines, including the Essential sold on their site.Per the rep I spoke with, the coils themselves shouldn’t feel firm, nor are they soft; give from the mattress should come from the foam(s) on top of the coils.It’s widely suggested that Brooklyn Bedding mattresses run softer in practice than on paper, so this “firm” may feel more like a “medium” while another medium may feel soft.__We chose this mattress because 1) Brooklyn Bedding is a reputable brand, 2) the price was right, and 3) it has a 100-night trial period. It replaced a Saatva Classic Soft that was more than 5x the price (thankfully still within the return window) — I’m still amazed it was only $330. BB is a good brand, they even wind their own high-quality coils at their Arizona factory.It is considered more fitting for back & stomach sleepers due to its firmness, but we got specifically it to use as a base/support layer under our 3” soft Talalay (19 ILD) & 2” medium Dunlop (28 ILD) latex layers. For reference, My partner & I are lightweight side-sleepers (5’7 115lbs & 5’9 140lbs).After sleeping on it for about a month now, I can confirm it’s a great bed. It does feel less firm than I imagine “firm” to be, but definitely isn’t soft enough for bony people like us to sleep on our sides without a topper.With the latex on top of it, it’s quite comfortable! It offers support under the latex we were hoping for, i.e. the coils feel steady & firm under the plush layers we added.It is bouncy (as a mattress with coils should be) but doesn’t transfer motion like a trampoline — we can actually roll over without waking each other up now!It also works REALLY well with our adjustable base (Lucid L300). Unlike the Saatva, it actually conforms to the shape of the base instead of creating gaps and sticking out at the foot.It smelled only slightly factory-like out of the box — it wasn’t super noticeable and dissipated pretty quickly. Gel memory foam isn’t exactly known for its durability, but since we’re just using it for the coils, it *should* last us as long as they do.The only minor issue is that it seems to be slightly shorter (head to foot) than a standard queen, by about 2”. The toppers stick off the end kind of awkwardly and I never know whether to line it up with the bottom of our base or the top. For us, that isn’t a deal-breaker, but it could be for some.Final note on firmness: ~90% of mattress softness comes from the foam on top, not the coils, and this bed only has 0.75” of quilted foam & 0.75” of gel memory foam on top. Too-soft mattresses cannot be made less soft, but a too-firm mattress allows you to play around with additional foam layers to find what works best (e.g. adding an inch or two of high-density foam on top of the mattress/under the latex should be *chef’s kiss*).

This is the 5th Brooklyn bedding mattress that we’ve purchased. We’ve had great success with 4 of the 5 mattresses. This is the only mattress that has let us down> somewhat.We ordered the 14” and unfortunately it’s 12.5” at best…so this is disappointing! :(

This is my second mattress from Brooklyn Bedding. The first was a memory foam & latex model that I slept on for 13 years. That one was fine in its time, but this one is better. The Amazon description lists it as a medium firm. Based on my own experience I would rate it as medium soft. Which is great for me. I've had chronic low back pain for decades. It was somewhat better with my first BB mattress, but after I'd been sleeping on this new one for a couple of months I realized I wasn't having back issues anymore. I'm a side sleeper and the more recent mattress information says that we tend to need softer mattresses, so keep that in mind. Back or stomach sleepers may need a different model.I noticed that some reviewers found their mattresses were an inch or so short in length and width. I have a full-size bedroom set that was built in the 1930s. My mattress fits perfectly. Its depth is about 13 inches rather than 14, but that doesn't make a critical difference. All in all it's a great mattress, especially if you're looking for one that's somewhat soft.

I can't imagine a better value mattress. This is like many other "beds in a box" but from a top brand that specializes in hybrid beds. Perfect fit and finish. Easy to handle due to the way it is packed. I don't know how many years it will last but there has to be a catch. Right?

I've been sleeping on the Brooklyn Bedding king size bed for a few weeks now, and it's been a game-changer. It strikes the perfect balance between soft and firm, with great support and minimal motion transfer. I wake up feeling more rested and without the back pain I used to have. Setup was quick and easy, and the quality is top-notch. Highly recommend!
