Construction

Brooklyn Mattresses8.5

The Brooklyn Signature :

The Brooklyn Signature combines 6″ of individually pocketed Ascension™ springs with 4″ of patented hyper-responsive foam for increased comfort and deeper compression support. Both top foam layers are treated with a cooling TitaniumGel™ infusion to optimize temperature, making this mattress the highest value bed on the market.

Plank:

For sleepers who can never find a mattress firm enough, the Plank by Brooklyn Bedding delivers an ultra-firmer, flatter, flippable surface, creating a neutral spine position that’s better for your back and posture overall. The top side of the mattress is standard firm; the bottom side is ultra-firm, allowing for an easily flippable, highly customizable sleep—engineered to reduce pressure on your circulatory system and provide better blood flow while compelling you to inhale more oxygen while you snooze.

Spartan:

The Spartan by Brooklyn Bedding is an elite hybrid mattress, featuring an extreme performance fabric registered for general wellness by the FDA using Far Infrared Rays (FIR) technology—designed to help you reset and rejuvenate quicker by harnessing and recycling the body’s natural energy throughout the sleep cycle. Combined with the patented advanced cooling of TitanCool™, and a layer of CopperGel™ Energex, the Spartan also delivers ultimate responsiveness with maximum cooling in an antimicrobial sleep environment.

Aurora :

The coolest take ever on affordable luxury was derived from science—the average skin temperature is 91 degrees, but the ideal sleep temperature is 88 degrees. To maintain the optimal sleep temperature of 88 degrees, they infused a phase change molecule called TitanCool™ on the surface of the Brooklyn Aurora to moderate your temperature: cooling gel beads liquefy at higher temperatures to deliver cooling relief; those same beads solidify at lower temperatures to ensure an ideal sleep environment. A premium smooth top weave allows the proper amount of cooling to be delivered to you on contact. The result is the most elite sleep experience yet.

The overall construction depends on the product you have selected but most come with:

• A Quilted Top: It prevents body impression and has a smooth feel to it so you can sleep comfortably on the mattress.
• TitanFlex Comfort: This patented layer features unique response technology that adjusts according to your body. It also includes TitaniumGel that promotes cooling to ensure you never feel uncomfortable.
• Energex Support: This acts as a transition layer and improves compression and body contouring which helps align the spine.
• Ascension Encased Coil: 952 encased coils offer better motion isolation and reactivity making it easy to sleep with a partner.
• Support Foam: In the end is a 1″ support foam that makes the mattress durable and ensures it retains its shape.
