Who’s Going to Love the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress

• Those who want the most bang for their buck
• Combination sleepers 
• Hot sleepers
• Back sleepers

Who Should Steer Clear of the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress

• Memory foam mattress purists—instead, try the TEMPUR-Cloud mattress that has a more traditional memory foam feel.
• Stomach sleepers with heavier body types—instead, try the Saatva HD mattress, which is firm and supportive enough for those with big and tall body types.
• Side sleepers with sensitive joints—instead, try the soft version of the Signature Hybrid or a mattress with lots of pressure relief like the Leesa Sapira mattress.

Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Video Review

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress (formerly known as the Signature mattress) is the brand’s flagship and most popular model. This hybrid mattress, made with a mixture of foam and coils, is especially cooling for those who tend to overheat during the night. We tested the “medium” firmness level in our sleep lab—take a look at how it performed!

Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress Firmness & Feel

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid Firmness

Here at Mattress Nerd, we rate mattress firmness on a scale of 1–10, with 10 being a rock-solid mattress and one being the softest mattress you can imagine. The medium version of the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid, which is the mattress we tested in our Nerd sleep lab, is a 6/10 on the firmness scale. This means that the medium Signature Hybrid mattress is a medium-firm mattress that offers a mix of comfort and support. 

The medium feel will likely offer great support for back sleepers and side sleepers who are average-weight or heavyweight. If you sleep with a partner, the medium firmness will offer a good “middle ground” that can suit multiple sleep positions. 

If you’re looking for something a little different, the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid can also be purchased in a “soft” or “firm” version, depending on the firmness level you prefer. Side sleepers should use the soft mattress, specifically if you need more pressure point relief or if you like the feel of being cuddled by your mattress. Choose the firm option if you mainly sleep on your stomach or if you need more support for your lower back. 

What Does the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid Feel Like?

The Brooklyn Signature Hybrid has a balanced feel; in other words, it’s cushioning at first contact, but transitions into a more supportive “on the mattress” feel.

What Sleeping Position Is the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid Best For?

Note: The below chart is based on the medium firmness option of the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid mattress. 

Body Type:	BACK SLEEPERS	STOMACH SLEEPERS	SIDE SLEEPERS
Lightweight (< 130 lbs):	4	3	2
Average-weight (130–230 lbs):	5	3	3
Heavyweight (> 230 lbs):	4	2	4

1 = Very poor, 2 = Not good, 3 = Fair, 4 = Good, 5 = Excellent

Back Sleepers

Back sleepers need a good mix of balance and support in order to keep them comfortable and cradled on their mattress. If you’re a heavyweight back sleeper or someone who prefers an  ultra-firm mattress, the “firm” version of the Signature Hybrid could work for you.

Lightweight and average-weight back sleepers will likely get the support they need on the “medium” version of the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid. The medium option is a comfortable blend of soft, yet supportive, while the firm provides more sturdy support, making it a great mattress for back sleepers.

Side Sleepers

The best mattresses for side sleepers tend to be softer and more plush, offering pressure relief for the hips and shoulders. For that reason, the “soft” version of the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid should be good for side sleepers, especially for lightweight side sleepers.

Average-weight and heavyweight side sleepers will likely find adequate pressure relief and spinal alignment in the medium version of the Signature Hybrid. 

Stomach Sleepers

Firmer beds are usually the best mattresses for stomach sleepers because they provide the proper support stomach sleepers need to keep the hips elevated and their spines aligned. 

Heavyweight and average-weight stomach sleepers probably won’t find the support they need in the medium Brooklyn Signature Hybrid mattress, but they might find proper support in the firm version of the bed. Lightweight stomach sleepers may find proper support in the medium version of the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid, but the firm would likely be better. 

Combination Sleepers

In the mattress world, the best mattresses for combination sleepers are responsive and accommodate a wide range of sleeping positions. Lightweight, average-weight, and heavyweight combination sleepers will likely be able to change positions easily on the medium version of the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid mattress. 

Since the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid works well for both back and side sleepers over 130 lbs, it should be a good fit for combination sleepers with those primary positions. Also, the mattress limits motion transfer, allowing couples to shift positions without disturbing their partner.

Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress Performance

Is the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress Cooling?

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress was originally designed as an all-foam mattress, but in 2018 the brand rolled out the all-new hybrid version. This new Brooklyn Signature Hybrid is made with a base layer of coils instead of foam. What does that mean for hot sleepers? Turns out, quite a bit. 

The best cooling mattresses for hot sleepers are typically breathable mattresses that include innerspring or pocketed coils. Coils enhance airflow and allow a sleeper’s body heat to dissipate through the entire mattress instead of remaining trapped near the body. At the very least, we expect that hot sleepers should sleep temperature-neutral on the Signature Hybrid. 

Edge Support

When it came to edge support—the amount of support a mattress offers around its perimeter—we were a little less impressed with the Signature Hybrid. Our testing team expected the individually wrapped coils in the mattress to keep us supported on the edge, but it turns out that we sank right down to the bed frame when we attempted a sitting-on-the-edge maneuver. 

Responsiveness

We gave the Signature Hybrid a perfect 5/5 score for ease of movement. The foam comfort layers and coil support layer keep you lifted on top of the mattress and quickly adjust to changes in position. As such, it’s a great mattress for combination sleepers.

Motion Isolation: Is it good for those who share a bed?

Hybrid mattresses aren’t typically known for their motion isolating capacity since coils have quite a bit of kick-back; however, the Signature Hybrid earned above average marks during our motion transfer test, so we’re comfortable recommending it as a good mattress for couples.

Noise

We hardly ever notice bothersome noise when testing out mattresses, and the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid is no exception—we consider it to be a quiet mattress.

Pain Relief

All too often, a mattress can cause or exacerbate pain issues. The top two pain concerns for mattress shoppers are joint pain and lower back or hip pain. To find a mattress that helps with lower back pain, you need a firm mattress that keeps your hips elevated. Side sleepers with joint pain typically need a softer bed that cradles their sensitive joints. 

If you struggle with back pain and sleep on your back—as opposed to your side or stomach—the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid should help you remain in proper spinal alignment (and thus reduce pain). Stomach sleepers likely won’t find the support they need on the Signature Hybrid, and side sleepers should opt for a mattress with more cushioning at the shoulders and hips.

Sex

The Brooklyn Signature Hybrid is springy, responsive, and it stays temperature neutral—meaning it’s a good mattress for sex.

Off-Gassing

You may notice some temporary off-gassing (aka, that new mattress smell) for up to 72 hours after unboxing the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid. This odor is temporary and non-toxic.

Durability

Overall, we’d say the Brooklyn Bedding mattress is a relatively durable, supportive bed. We think it’ll last for six or seven years before showing any significant signs of wear.

Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress Construction: What’s It Made Of?

Made with a combination of foam and individually wrapped coils, the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid mattress is a great example of an affordable hybrid bed. The three foam layers used in the mattress—as well as a quilted foam top layer—help provide pressure relief. The coils keep you lifted where needed and compress under areas of high pressure.

Layer #1—Quilted Memory Foam Top: The Brooklyn Signature Hybrid’s quilted, memory foam cover adds an element of cushion as soon as you lie down on the mattress. When we put our hands on the cover fabric, we found it to be cool to the touch.

Layer #2—TitanFlex Comfort Foam (2″): The top layer of the mattress is Brooklyn Bedding’s proprietary TitanFlex Comfort foam. This foam layer helps the mattress contour to your body while keeping your spine aligned.

Layer #3—TitanFlex Support Foam (2″): Another layer of TitanFlex foam acts as a transition layer between your body and the support coils. It also cushions your body weight and adapts to your position every time you shift in bed.

Layer #4—Ascension Pocketed Coils (6″): Individually wrapped coils adapt quickly to your changes in position. They also keep you lifted and aligned on the mattress surface.

Layer #5—Support Foam (1″): A layer of durable foam supports the coils and the rest of the mattress.

How Do the Policies Measure Up?

Shipping & Unboxing

The Brooklyn Signature Hybrid is delivered compressed and rolled into a box. The mattress is delivered in four to eight business days. Shipping is free in the U.S., except for Hawaii and Alaska. You may expedite your shipping on some orders for an additional fee.

Once it arrives, you take the mattress out of the box, unroll it on your foundation, remove the packaging, and wait for it to inflate to its full size. 

Warranty

How Long Does the Brooklyn Bedding Warranty Period Last?

All six Brooklyn Bedding mattresses come with a 10-year warranty covering manufacturing and material defects. The warranty covers all models to the same extent and is on par with the average bed-in–a-box mattress company. Warranty coverage begins on the date of purchase, and is exclusively available to the original owner. For reference, the six mattresses models are the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid, Brooklyn Bloom, Brooklyn Sedona Elite, Brooklyn Spartan, Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid, and Brooklyn Plank Firm.

Brooklyn Bedding’s warranty coverage remains the same throughout the full duration of the 10-year warranty period. In other words, whether you make a claim about a defect during the first year of ownership or the tenth year, Brooklyn Bedding addresses the claim in the same manner.

What is Covered by the Brooklyn Bedding Warranty?

Indentations

The Brooklyn Bedding warranty covers indentations or body impressions on the top layers that are at least 1” deep. The dip must remain after you get out of bed to qualify under warranty.  

Splitting or Cracking

If the TitanFlex foam or other foam layers used in the Brooklyn Bedding mattresses begin to split or crack under normal usage and proper handling, you should submit a warranty claim. 

Foam Defects or Deterioration

Brooklyn Bedding will either repair or replace the mattress if you notice other signs of foam deterioration, such as crumbling. 

Sagging

Brooklyn Bedding’s warranty includes issues with sagging foam or innerspring layers, so long as a firm and sturdy foundation has continually supported the mattress since day one of ownership.

What the Brooklyn Bedding Does Not Cover

• Normal Body Impressions
• Off-Gassing
• Softening
• Sagging Caused by Insufficient Support
• Personal Comfort
• Damage and Normal Wear
• Sleep Experience

What Could Void My Warranty?

• Damaging the mattress, including burns, tears, cuts, spills, and stains 
• An infestation or other issue that leaves the mattress in an unsanitary condition, such as mold or bed bugs 
• Use of an improper foundation, such as an old box spring or platform base with slats more than 3” apart 
• Resale or relinquishment of the product to a new owner

How Does the Brooklyn Bedding Warranty Measure Up?

The Brooklyn Bedding warranty is on par with other bed-in–a-box mattress brands. 10 year warranties like this one are the most common, and even the terms are similar to other leading companies. Overall, given the affordable price points on Brooklyn Bedding mattresses, the warranty is excellent.

Filing A Warranty Claim with Brooklyn Bedding

Brooklyn Bedding has a simple online warranty form that you fill out to submit a claim. Here’s what you’ll need to complete the form:

• Order number
• Mattress model, size, and firmness level (when applicable)
• Name of the original purchaser (which must be you to qualify for a warranty claim)
• Description of the type of foundation or support system you use
• A description of the concern prompting you to submit a claim 

A Brooklyn Bedding customer support representative will follow up with you within a few business days after you submit the form. The rep will potentially request additional information, like a video or photo of the issue. You can call 1-888-210-8751 on business days from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Trial Period & Returns

The Brooklyn Signature Hybrid has a trial period of 120 days, which is 20 days longer than most companies offer. If you decide to return the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid within the 120-day trial period, you just need to contact the company to schedule a return.

As long as you’ve owned the bed for at least 30 days (known as the “break-in period”), you’ll receive a full refund. You also have the option to choose a different firmness level of your Brooklyn Signature Hybrid mattress; for instance, you could replace your firm model with the softer model. 

Addressing Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Complaints

• Pressure Buildup: Lightweight side sleepers might experience a bit of pressure buildup in their hips and shoulders, especially if they lie on the medium or firm version of the Signature Hybrid.
• Lackluster Edge Support: People who like to sit or lie on the edge of their bed might not feel as supported as they’d like on the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid.
• Off-Gassing Smell: We noticed an off-gassing smell when we unboxed the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid. Shoppers with sensitive noses might want to consider a latex mattress like the Brooklyn Bloom.
• Not Soft Enough for Side Sleepers:Complaints about side sleeping on Brooklyn Bedding mattresses are understandable, given that selecting an appropriate firmness level for your body type and sleeping position is difficult. Although Brooklyn Bedding’s array of firmness settings is usually seen as an advantage, the sheer number of options may make finding the right fit challenging for some customers.It seems that most complaints from side sleepers come from shoppers who have chosen medium or medium-firm settings, so we think the soft Brooklyn Bedding options could offer a solution to this issue.
• Unresponsive Customer Service: Brooklyn Bedding’s direct-to-consumer model can cause hiccups in the form of shipping delays when order volumes are high or factory staff are limited, such as during the peak of COVID-19. While many customers detail their “stellar” experiences with customer service representatives, others seem disappointed over the lack of communication regarding shipping times.Brooklyn Bedding acknowledges delays due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19 but also states that U.S. purchases are delivered within three to four business days, which can be confusing for customers. If customer service is very important to you, especially during the shipping or sleep trial periods, consider contacting Brooklyn Bedding’s customer service team with questions about policies before you buy. Your experience with their responsiveness or communication during this “trial run” may indicate how well the process will go.
• Sleeps Too Hot: Five of Brooklyn Bedding’s six mattress options are hybrid beds, meaning that they have coils at the base. Coils should encourage ample airflow throughout the mattress to help with temperature control. However, many of the beds also contain memory foam in the comfort layers, which has been known to absorb heat. Softer beds also tend to sleep warmer than firm mattresses, so plush Brooklyn Bedding options may sleep warmer than the brand’s firmer beds.If you sleep hot, we recommend the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe, which the brand advertises as a “luxury hybrid with advanced cooling technology.”
• Fine Print in the “Risk-Free” Return Policy: It’s not uncommon for mattress companies to require customers to cover some part of their return shipping fees or to require a break-in period before customers can initiate a return. While it’s ultimately up to customers to read the details of the policies for the products they purchase, we think that Brooklyn Bedding’s return policy marketing—which includes strong statements like “100% risk free, “no drama,” and “zero return fees”—is misleading. The brand could benefit from some flexibility and communication in its mattress policies. To be safe, discuss the exact details of the Brooklyn Bedding return policy for your delivery area with a Brooklyn Bedding customer service representative, and try to receive those policy details in writing before purchasing your mattress.

Compare Different Brooklyn Bedding Mattresses

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid vs. Brooklyn Aurora Luxe

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid Mattress is Best For:	Brooklyn Aurora Luxe Mattress is Best For:
Back Sleepers	Hot Sleepers
Combination Sleepers	People Who Toss and Turn All Night
Value Shoppers	Stomach Sleepers Under 230 lbs

Just like the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid mattress, the Brooklyn Aurora Luxe mattress is available in three firmness levels. It also uses a combination of individually wrapped coils and foam layers to keep sleepers comfortable. The main difference is that the Aurora Luxe has an extra inch of memory foam and cooling technologies like copper. It’s the more expensive option, so budget may be the deciding factor between these beds.

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid vs. Brooklyn Spartan Hybrid

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid Mattress is Best For:	Brooklyn Spartan Mattress is Best For:
Value Shoppers	Muscle Recovery
Combination Sleepers	People With Active Lifestyles
Back Sleepers	Hot Sleepers

If the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid is made for people on a budget, the Brooklyn Bedding Spartan Hybrid is well-suited for athletes and anyone with an active lifestyle. The Spartan uses a Nanobionic material in its cover, which the brand says helps with muscle recovery after long workouts. 

The performance fabric cover of the Brooklyn Spartan also includes phase change material, making it ideal for people who sleep hot. Like the Signature Hybrid, it’s available in three mattress firmness levels. Budget-conscious shoppers will save with the Signature, but hot sleepers and couples should pay more for the Spartan.

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid vs. Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid

Brooklyn Signature Mattress is Best For:	Brooklyn Bowery Mattress is Best For:
Couples	Combination Sleepers
Back Sleepers	Stomach Sleepers
Combination Sleepers	Hot Sleepers

If you’re a budget shopper rejoicing at the low price tag of the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid, the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid is even lower cost. Both mattresses have a medium-firm feel, so they’re great for back sleepers and those who need extra back support.

Instead of feeling like you’re sleeping “in” either mattress, you’ll likely feel like you’re sleeping “on top” of the beds. That makes either mattress a great choice for combination sleepers who move around often in their sleep and want to avoid feeling stifled.

Comparing Brooklyn Signature Hybrid to the Competition

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid vs. Nectar

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid Mattress is Best For:	Nectar Mattress is Best For:
Value Shoppers	Lightweight to Average-Weight Body Types
Combination Sleepers	Side Sleepers
Hot Sleepers	Memory Foam Lovers

One of the most popular mattress brands on the market today, the original Nectar mattress uses layers of polyfoam to create a medium-firm feel. And while all-foam mattresses tend to trap heat, the Nectar does a decent job of temperature regulation. 

The Nectar is more expensive than the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid mattress, but it’s still a reasonably priced choice for shoppers who are set on an all-foam feel instead of a mattress with a coil support layer. Brooklyn Bedding offers a 10-year warranty, but Nectar backs their foam beds with a Lifetime warranty.

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid vs. Tuft & Needle

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid Mattress is Best For:	Tuft & Needle Mattress is Best For:
Back Sleepers	Value Shoppers
Combination Sleepers	Lightweight Stomach Sleepers
Hot Sleepers	Average-Weight Back & Side Sleepers

The Tuft & Needle Original mattress is a simple all-foam mattress with an unexpectedly advanced comfort layer: Tuft & Needle’s proprietary T&N Adaptive foam. While we wouldn’t say the Tuft & Needle is bouncier than the Signature, the Tuft & Needle’s layers of foam combine pressure relief and responsiveness.

The Tuft & Needle and the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid are almost neck-in-neck when it comes to price. Be sure to check the prices on whichever mattress sizes you’re considering, and check the brand websites for up-to-date coupon information.

See our Brooklyn Bedding vs. Tuft & Needle Mattress Comparison for more information. 

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid vs. GhostBed

Brooklyn Signature Hybrid Mattress is Best For:	GhostBed Mattress is Best For:
Back Sleepers	Back & Stomach Sleepers Under 230 lbs
Combination Sleepers	Couples
Hot Sleepers	Memory Foam Lovers

While the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid offers cooling for hot sleepers thanks to its breathable coils, the GhostBed takes a different approach: cooling gel foams and a cool-to-the-touch cover. It stays temperature-neutral for an all-foam mattress, but the Signature Hybrid is a little better for hot sleepers.

Both mattresses are priced similarly, so go with the feel and firmness you like the best: the Signature Hybrid is offered in soft, medium, or firm and has the bouncy, cushioning feel of a hybrid mattress; the GhostBed is denser, more contouring, and less springy.

FAQs:

The Nerd’s Take: What’s the Bottom Line?

Right off the bat, we love the Brooklyn Signature Hybrid mattress because it’s affordable and it comes in three firmness options. We tested the “medium” firmness level in our sleep lab and found that it worked well for back sleepers and heavier side sleepers, but not as well for stomach sleepers.

Combination sleepers should appreciate the bouncy and responsive nature of the mattress, which allows for easy movement. And for a hybrid mattress, it does a decent job of isolating motion. Our final take? It’s a well-rounded mattress at a value price point.
