The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora mattress is a hybrid mattress that really excels with cooling and conforming. Hybrid mattresses are a wonderful choice for people looking for the benefits of foam but don’t want to give up the bounce and responsiveness of coils. Brooklyn Bedding is a mattress manufacturer which means they can be very competitive on price but maintain quality and features.

The Aurora mattress is their latest addition which comes in three different firmness levels. Soft, medium and firm. You can read about the all foam Brooklyn Bedding mattress here. This mattress also known as the Brooklyn Signature comes in three firmness levels.

Overview and Opening the Brooklyn Aurora Mattress

This mattress comes with a 120-night free trial and free shipping. This will give you plenty of time to decide if the mattress is a good fit for you and if not, it’s easy to return.

Below is a video overview of the Aurora Mattress. As you can see it has a fair amount of sink. For this review, I received the soft version of the Brooklyn Aurora.

Construction of the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Mattress

All firmness levels of the Aurora Mattress come with 3 layers of foam at the top followed by a spring unit then a base layer of foam. They created different firmnesses by adjusting the firmness of the foam.

My Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Mattress Findings

The Soft version of the Aurora mattress feels wonderful. Not too foamy and not too springy. It just feels like a great mattress. By offering three different firmness options they are able to really play to peoples preferences instead of just trying to hit the lowest common denominator.

Here’s a picture of how much you can expect the mattress to sink. This is a 14 lb. bowling ball which is a bit heavier than the typical head.

A nice touch is that they have stitched handles on the side. This makes it easy to rotate or move your mattress.

Aurora Mattress Handles

Here’s a video shot in slow motion to show motion transfer on the Aurora. I am especially impressed with how this handled. Notice that the fish bowling ball didn’t roll towards the other ball.

Here’s a closeup shot of the cover. It is very cool to the touch and has a nice clean look and design.

Aurora Mattress Phase Change Cover

Brooklyn Bedding uses a technology called, TitanCool™ to keep the mattress cool to the touch and help you fall asleep faster. Here’s a video showing how fast heat dissipates from the top layer of the mattress.

My Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Recommendation

The Aurora mattress is priced a little higher than other hybrid mattresses I have reviewed but it also incorporates the latest technology including a very generous amount of phase change material to cool the top layer of the mattress.

The mattress not only feels great but it looks great too. Coming in at 13.5 inches it is thick enough to where you don’t have to worry about bottoming out and it will work well with your sheets. Most sheets are designed to accommodate extra thick mattresses and when you put them on a 10-inch mattress, you get a lot of extra material making the bed look messy.

The Aurora strikes a happy medium which makes your sheets and bed look great as well as feels great.

Where Can I try the Aurora Mattress?

The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Mattress is available to try at the Sleep Sherpa mattress showroom. You can try the Aurora mattress at our Minneapolis Minnesota and Chicago Illinois showrooms. Below are the addresses and contact information of our Brooklyn Bedding mattress showrooms.
