Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Review

Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Review: PROS

There are so many great features to discuss, that this Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review might not even fit in several books. But, to keep everything short and sweet, I will be highlighting the most important ones.

Exceptional Construction

Everything begins with the construction of the mattress. The materials and their proportions chosen determine every feature the product will have at the end. That's why the layers of the mattress are the number one pro in this Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review. 

The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress is a hybrid, meaning that it is constructed using several different materials. In this product’s case, cutting it open would reveal both foam and pocket coils. But to save your mattress and your time, I will tell you exactly what layers you can find inside the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora hybrid.

• Sitting right at the top is the Cover. Though unimpressive at first glance, the cover, made out of Phase Change Material, plays a huge part in keeping you cool throughout the night.
• Up next, we have the 1.5 inch-thick Comfort Layer. Made from Brooklyn Bedding’s CopperFlex foam, the layer makes sure air keeps going through the mattress without getting too warm.
• Coming in third is the Contour Layer. 2 inches of TitanFlex foam not only contour to your body but are responsive enough to provide great support to your spine and alleviate pressure.
• Right under lies the Transition Layer. Made out of 1 inch of visco-elastic gel memory foam, this layer makes sure you can lay comfortably, without pressing into the pocket coils.
• Next, we have layer number five - the support. The 8-inch coils, naturally, offer just the right amount of bounce to the mattress, as well as allowing for even more air to pass through, making sure you don’t overheat.
• And finally, at the very bottom, is the Base Layer of foam, supporting the coils so that you don’t sink in with them in the middle of the night.

As you can see, a lot of thought went into constructing the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Hybrid. However, what was listed here is only the surface of what other perks you can expect from the mattress.

Of course, this Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review won’t end here, as up next we will look into the most customizable aspect of this mattress.

Multiple Firmness Levels

That’s right.

If you like what the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora hybrid is offering, you no longer have to worry about them not having your ideal firmness level.

Because everyone is unique, a single level of firmness will not be comfortable for everyone. That’s why Brooklyn Bedding decided to make their products suit as many people as possible. 

At the moment you can choose from three different firmness levels of the Brooklyn Aurora hybrid - Medium Soft, Medium Firm, and Firm. If we were to look at a firmness scale, the models would land at the 3, 5, and 7 marks respectively.

If you are unsure which level of firmness to choose, you might want to consider these factors:

Choose the Soft model if:

• You mostly sleep on your side;
• You require more pressure point relief and gentler support for your body’s natural contours;
• You prefer the feeling of being “hugged” by your mattress.

The Medium firmness would be best if:

• You are a combination back, stomach, and side sleeper;
• You prefer a balance between contouring and support;
• You prefer the feeling of sleeping above your bed’s top layers;
• You are a couple that needs to strike a balance with your comfort preferences.

The Firm option is ideal for you if:

• You sleep mainly on your stomach and/or back;
• You prefer not to sink deeply into your mattress;
• You require additional lumbar support;
• You prefer a smoother, flatter surface for sleeping.

While doing research for this Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review, I’ve noticed many people looking up “Brooklyn Bedding Aurora medium vs firm”. And there’s little wonder, as these two models are their most popular options. 

One thing for sure - the difference is definitely noticeable. The Medium contours to your body just enough for you to feel like you’re being hugged by the mattress, while you might feel like you’re laying on top of the Firm option. 

That being said, some parts of the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora medium vs firm battle do come to a draw. 

For example, both mattress models are great for both stomach and back sleepers, as they keep your spine in the correct position^[1] right through the night.

Of course, if you are going to be sleeping on the Aurora mattress with your partner, many Brooklyn Bedding Aurora reviews mention that the Medium firm option is the one to go for, as it can accommodate quite different sleep needs.

It goes without saying that there are many nuances that go into a mattress fitting your preferences. That’s why the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress is so great - the same quality and perks are accessible to everyone, no matter your likes or needs.

And when I say that anyone can find the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress to be a great suit for them, I mean it! 

Suitable for Virtually Anyone

While the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress can match various firmness preferences, it still is important to keep in mind your preferred sleeping position and weight.

Depending on the way a person sleeps and their body weight, the same mattress can feel completely different to different people. The way a mattress curves and adapts to the person’s body is a crucial point to consider while making such an investment.

• Lightweight sleepers (under 130lbs)

  If you are on the lighter side, even softer mattresses can feel firmer to you than to others, so the Medium Firm and Medium Soft models should be a great choice for you. 

  Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress reviews left by sleepers that fall in this weight category mention that this is an ideal choice for back and even stomach sleepers, as it offers great support and pressure relief. On the other hand, side sleepers might feel too much pressure on their shoulders and hips.

• Average-weight sleepers (130-230lbs)

  Sleepers in this category should find the different Aurora firmness levels to be quite true to the descriptions. 

  Similarly to lightweight sleepers, those of average weight might find the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora hybrid to be the best for stomach and back sleeping, as it offered just the right amount of support and pressure relief. On the other hand, average-weight side sleepers can feel even more pressure than their lightweight counterparts.

• Heavyweight sleepers (over 230lbs)

  Many heavyweight sleepers mentioned in their Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress reviews that this product is ideal if you prefer to sleep on your back, as side sleepers might feel too much pressure on their shoulders and hips and stomach sleepers don’t feel enough spinal support.

  In addition, this is a mattress best suited for those under 300lbs, as heavier folk might not feel as supported as they might want or need. 

While these recommendations and reviews are extremely helpful while shopping for a mattress online, you should still leave some room for your own opinion, as there is always an exception to the rule.

That being said, hybrid mattresses, such as the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress, are usually a pretty universal fit to the majority of sleepers, with only a few cases of the mattress not suiting someone’s needs.

Delightfully Cooling

Sleeping preferences vary from person to person and can sometimes even be quite unusual. For example, I can never fall asleep if any less than half of my face is buried in my pillow. 

Maybe I’m half-ostrich or something…

Going back to our Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review, this mattress is designed with one of our most natural physical requirements for a good night’s sleep in mind.

Our bodies naturally require a slightly cooler environment^[2] to fall asleep and have good rest throughout the night. While the skin’s surface temperature usually stays around 91 degrees, the recommended ideal temperature for sleep falls around 88 degrees. 

That’s where the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress comes in. While hybrid mattresses often sleep cooler than foam or latex models, this mattress is among the leaders in this field.

Pretty much all of its layers are designed to keep you comfortably cool right through the night. 

The star of the show is without a doubt the cover of the mattress. Created with TitanCool™ technology, the cover is designed to maintain the ideal 88-degree temperature. This is achieved thanks to the material being infused with cooling gel beads that liquefy at higher temperatures to deliver cooling relief. Those same beads solidify at lower temperatures to ensure an ideal sleep environment.

That being said, while the cover is the layer that comes in closest contact with your skin, the top foam layers should be credited for adding to the cooling effect as well. 

The main comfort layer is an inch and a half of the Brooklyn Bedding brand’s patented CopperFlex Foam. This material, in addition to providing comfort and contouring, is infused with copper, which helps keep the foam from overheating.

Just under this layer lies 2 inches of hyper-elastic TitanFlex Foam, which not only offers bounce (more on that a little later) but dissipates heat with the help of Titanium Gel.

Other layers, such as the Gel Swirl Foam and the inner springs, also add to the cooling effect of the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress. 

This is a great thing to keep in mind if you are planning to sleep with your partner, as two people naturally produce more heat.

Balance of Bounce and Motion Isolation

Many Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress reviews come from couples mentioning that the mattress is a wonderful option for those sleeping with their significant others. 

This hybrid mattress offers a great balance of both motion isolation and just the right amount of responsiveness. 

If you don’t want nightly tossing and turning to wake up you or your partner, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress isolates any movement and keeps the other side still to not disturb your significant other.

On the other hand, because the mattress has an 8-inch layer of coils, you can expect a pleasant amount of responsiveness and bounce, that helps to get out of bed and eases movement and switching positions at night.

And I'm not just talking about rolling from one side to the other. The Brooklyn Aurora mattress is great for sex.

The bounce makes it easier to maintain and switch positions. If you prefer to utilize the entire mattress instead of staying in one spot the entire time, you might want to look into the Medium Firm and Firm models, as they offer better edge support than the softer option.

While some foam mattresses aren’t considered the best for such activities, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora hybrid foam layers offer additional traction for both pressure relief and maintaining positions.

As you can see, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress has a lot of wonderful features that make it a great option to many. 

​​Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Review: CONS

Everything has flaws. Even this mattress, believe it or not!

In this part of the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review, we will be looking at things most commonly mentioned in customer complaints and not-so-positive reviews. 

While these cons do not take away from the positives the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora has to offer, they are still important to note while considering whether or not this is the ideal mattress for you.

So let’s not beat around the bush anymore and take a look at what you should keep in mind about this product.

Notable Off-gassing

When it comes to shipping mattresses, companies usually choose between white glove delivery (carriers deliver the mattress to you ready to be used) and a bed-in-a-box delivery.

Brooklyn Bedding opts for the more convenient latter delivery method, which means your Aurora hybrid will come to you rolled up in a cardboard box.

Yes, turns out it is possible to roll up and fit a 13 inch-tall mattress into a long cardboard box. 

The secret behind this magic trick is vacuum sealing the mattress and compressing it into a fraction of its original thickness. While this does make receiving and handling the mattress a lot easier, It can result in one of the main things Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress complaints mention - off-gassing.

If you’re not familiar with the mattress industry lingo, off-gassing refers to that slightly unpleasant, chemical smell many new products have. This is most common with items that were vacuum compressed, as the gasses and odors that were trapped while the product was being packaged at the facility end up being released into the air.

While this is not toxic in any way, it can still prove to be uncomfortable or, at the very least, annoying to sleep on a smelly bed for several days.

This is especially important to keep in mind if you are sensitive to smells, as it can be too overwhelming or overly irritating to some. 

Not The Best Edge Support

If you’ve ever fallen out of your bed, you know that improper edge support in a mattress can be a complete dealbreaker. 

There are some Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress complaints mentioning the lack of edge support. After testing the mattress out, I can say that yes, the two softer models could be firmer along the edges, while the Firm option doesn’t seem to have this issue.

That being said, there is no overwhelming “oh my stars I’m falling out of bed, please save me!” feeling. The Medium Soft and Medium Firm models won’t have you rolling out of bed every night, but if you want that extra secure feeling or need additional support to help you get out of bed easier, then the Firm model would be the best option for you.

As you can see, there are some things that you need to consider before purchasing the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress. However, as I’ve already mentioned, these factors should not be seen as dealbreakers and don’t take away from the overall high quality of the product.

How Much Does The ​​Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Cost?

Now that you are well versed in the pros and cons of the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora hybrid mattress, it’s time to move on to one of the most important parts of our review - the pricing.

One thing should be said before we delve any deeper. Brooklyn Bedding mattresses - the Aurora hybrid being no exception - are considered to be high-end, luxury products. In addition, hybrid mattresses are oftentimes more expensive than single-material models, which can be seen in the prices of the Aurora, as well. 

At the moment, you can choose from 10 different size options, which is a very broad selection, especially for a hybrid mattress:

• Twin - $999 (at the moment $799.20)
• Twin XL - $1,249 (at the moment $999.20)
• Full - $1,599 (at the moment $1,279.20)
• Queen - $1,749 (at the moment $1,399.20)
• King - $2,199 (at the moment $1,759.20)
• Cal King - $2,199 (at the moment $1,759.20)
• Split Cal King - $1,249 (at the moment $999.20)
• Short Queen - $1,749 (at the moment $1,399.20)
• RV King - $2,199 (at the moment $1,759.20)
• RV Bunk - $1,599 (at the moment $1,279.20)

It goes without saying that it’s not the most affordable option out there, however, the prices are not as high as some other hybrid mattresses. 

In addition, the selection is pretty broad. And with each size coming in all three firmness levels, this can be considered as one of the most customizable mattresses out there.

Another thing to note - the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora hybrid can only be purchased on their official website. This might come as a disappointment to those who want to try bouncing on the mattress before purchasing, however, this way you can be sure that you will be the first person to ever bounce on the mattress shipped to you!

And speaking about shipping, let’s have a look at what service offers Brooklyn Bedding has in store for you. 

• Shipping: if you live within the contiguous borders of the US (where the mattresses are manufactured, by the way), you will be receiving your Aurora hybrid mattress for no extra charges. 

  As I’ve mentioned previously in this Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review, the mattress will be delivered to you vacuum-sealed and rolled in a cardboard box. This makes it quite easy to place the mattress wherever you want it and just step back while it unravels.

  That being said, there is going to be a previously mentioned specific off-gassing smell, which can be a bit irritating to some. 

• Trial: as soon as you receive your Aurora hybrid mattress, your 120-nights sleep trial will begin. During this time, you will be able to return and exchange the mattress if you find it does not suit your needs the way you had hoped.

  That said, a mandatory break-in period of 30 nights does apply to the mattress. During this time, you will not be able to return or exchange the product if it’s not to your satisfaction.

  However, you will not be stranded with a mattress you don’t like for a whole month. In such cases, Brooklyn Bedding can issue you a mattress topper to make it softer or firmer, depending on your needs. 

  And, if the adjustments are to your liking, you can exchange the two products for a mattress to suit your exact preference once the 30 nights end.

  Some Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress complaints mention this as a big inconvenience, however, I see it as an extra step the company takes to make sure everyone has a mattress they will love.

• Warranty: mattresses are not something you switch out every year or so. It’s quite an investment, and you want to make sure it lasts you as long as possible. 

  The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora hybrid mattress comes with a 10-year warranty, which is a pretty standard warranty for a mattress of this construction. 

  This includes coverage for premature deterioration of the mattress’s foam layer. However, this cannot be applied if the mattress wasn’t set on the correct foundation for support. 

Brooklyn Bedding has a lot to offer its customers, from high-quality products to great policies and services. That just goes to show that they value bringing their customers comfort and health with their products.

Alternatives

Of course, there is such a chance that the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress did not spark your interest. Not to worry, as I am here to offer you some alternatives that you might find more suitable than the Aurora.

Saatva Classic Mattress

If you’ve been looking for a new mattress for a while now, chances are you’ve come across the name Saatva at least once. 

Currently the leader of the mattress market, Saatva offers high-quality, luxury innerspring mattresses, made of organic materials.

Their star player is the Saatva Classic mattress, which is not only a country-wide favorite but was titled the #1 best mattress of 2023 in the US.

When it comes to similarities, there are quite a few.

Both mattresses can keep you pleasantly cool, with covers designed to maintain the most optimal sleep temperature. And speaking about covers - the two mattresses even have a similar construction, both featuring comfort layers of foam on top of a coil base for the sturdiest support. 

Believe it or not, but even the pricing of the Saatva Classic is similar to the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora hybrid. This is mostly due to their similar construction and materials used:

• Twin - $887
• Twin XL - $1,087
• Full - $1,474
• Queen - $1,574
• King - $1,974
• Cal King - $1,974
• Split King - $2,174
• Split Cal King - $2,174

But the similarities don’t stop there. The Saatva Classic also comes in three firmness levels - Luxury Firm, Plush Soft, and Firm. 

The Luxury Firm model is a middle ground between the Medium Firm and Firm Brooklyn Bedding Aurora options, and the Saatva Firm is, as the name suggests, the firmest of all, landing at an 8 on the firmness scale.

While there are many similarities between these two brands and their mattresses, the Saatva Classic does offer an option for those who require an exceptionally firm surface to sleep on.

Puffy Lux Mattress

While hybrid mattresses bring together the best of two worlds, fully-foam models are still popular and loved by many. 

If you would like to be hugged by soft memory foam every night, then the Puffy Lux mattress might be just what you are looking for. 

Made out of several layers of foam, the mattress hugs and conforms to your body, offering great pressure point relief. 

That being said, it’s not as ideal for heavier sleepers, those who need more spinal support, or hot sleepers. 

On the other hand, the Puffy mattress is a very budget friendly option:

• Twin - $899 (at the moment $599)
• Twin XL - $949 (at the moment $649)
• Full - $1,099 (at the moment $799)
• Queen - $1,249 (at the moment $949)
• King - $1,449 (at the moment $1,149)
• Cal King - $1,449 (at the moment $1,149)

As you can see, the prices of the Puffy Lux mattress are significantly lower than those of the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Hybrid, but that’s to be expected, as the former’s construction is much simpler.

This is a great option if you are looking for a soft, affordable mattress that could help with pressure pain in your shoulders and hips.

Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Vs Signature Mattress

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review if two siblings weren’t put against each other. That's why I'm including the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress as an alternative.

At first glance, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Vs Signature comparison might seem like it will end in a draw. But that is definitely not the case.

First of all, let’s look at the similarities.

All of the most important features that set these mattresses apart from others are exactly the same - both models come in a variety of firmness levels and include cooling technology in their construction, which makes the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Vs Aurora standoff seem like an automatic tie.

However, there’s more than what meets the eye.

The key differences between these Brooklyn Bedding mattresses lie in the construction. 

First of all, the Aurora mattress has a bit more of a complex structure, making it taller and a little bit heavier, which will likely come into play while relocating in the future.

In addition, the Signature model features a plush top layer, which makes it more comfortable for side sleepers or anyone looking for pressure relief.

And finally, perhaps the most important difference, the pricing.

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature mattress is more affordable than the Aurora, as seen in their pricing:

• Twin - $599 (at the moment $479.20)
• Twin XL - $749 (at the moment $599.20)
• Full - $899 (at the moment $719.20)
• Queen - $1,124 (at the moment $899.20)
• King - $1,374 (at the moment $1,099.20)
• Cal King - $1,374 (at the moment $1,099.20)
• Split Cal King - $749 (at the moment $599.20)
• Short Queen - $1,124 (at the moment $899.20)
• RV King - $1,374 (at the moment $1,099.20)

(Note that the Signature mattress comes in more sizing options that are not featured here for the review’s sake.)

The Signature Hybrid is a great Aurora-on-a-budget option, as you can still enjoy the cooling and personalized firmness features for a fraction of the price. However, if you prefer a firmer mattress to sleep on, the Aurora is the one for you.

There are several options out there that can be great alternatives for the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress. That being said, if you like what the star of this review has to offer, then there really is no better option than the Aurora.

Here is The Best Saatva Offer I Found:

Conclusions

And as this Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review has come to an end, there is only one question left to answer - is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Hybrid mattress worth your attention?

I’m going to keep my answer short and sweet - yes, it definitely is.

The mattress is designed with each customer’s individual needs in mind, from a selection of firmness levels to cooling technology literally woven right through the mattress. 

The company believes that there’s a mattress out there for everyone, and if by any chance the Aurora doesn’t initially suit your preferences, Brooklyn Bedding goes the extra mile to help you find your perfect fit, which is not something many companies offer.

And this definitely reflects in the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress reviews left by customers, as very few mention any complaints, such as the off-gassing or edge support. 

After reading through this Brooklyn Bedding Aurora review, you most likely know the product like the back of your hand - from pros and cons to pricing and alternatives. Now the decision of whether or not this mattress is the right fit for you lies in your hands.
