Brooklyn Bedding Custom Review

Rating: 6.7
Verified
Buy Brooklyn
The Brooklyn Bedding Custom mattress, discontinued as of June 2024, was a hybrid mattress known for its customization options, allowing users to choose firmness levels, cover styles, and comfort layers. It scored 8.07 overall in a NapLab review, excelling in cooling (9.0), response time (9.9), and sex performance (9.1). However, it had significant motion transfer issues (4.6), which could disturb partners. The mattress maintained a cooler temperature than average, had a fast response time, and high bounce, making it suitable for sexual activity. Edge support was excellent for sitting but less effective for lying down. It provided good pressure relief but had a high degree of pushback, which might not suit all sleepers. Brooklyn Bedding offered a 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty, with free shipping but a $99 return fee.
