Firmness info	Exceptional sleep is not one size fits all. The Brooklyn Aurora is designed with three comfort levels, for a sleep experience that feels crafted just for you. The Soft is rated a 3 on the firmness scale, the Medium is rated a 5 and the Firm is rated an 7.	Generally speaking, we describe both of our mattresses as medium-firm in feel. However, we also understand even that description can be subjective. Two people sleeping on the same mattress might have contrasting opinions - it could be too soft, too firm, or just right. That's why we offer our 100-night sleep trial to ensure every person has the opportunity to decide if the Tuft & Needle mattress is the right fit for them, and return it if it's not.

Construction & materials

	Brooklyn Aurora Hybrid	Tuft & Needle Mint
Layers	Copper Gel Energex with TitanCool, TitanFlex, Swirl Visco-Elastic Memory Foam, Quantum Edge Pocketed Coils, High Density Base Support Foam.	3" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.5lb density) infused with ceramic gel, 2" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.0lb density) infused with graphite, 6.5" High-density polyurethane foam foundation (1.8lb density), Four sides of edge support (1.8lb density).
Cover	The most advanced fabric on the market delivers TitanCool benefits on contact.	Our ultra plush Mint® Mattress cover is made with polyester and viscose. It has a super soft, cozy touch and adds just a hint of cushion. Viscose is commonly known as rayon and is used in clothing. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
Machine-washable cover	No	No
Ergonomic handles	No	No
Comfort	The immediate response technology in our patented, hyper-elastic TitanFlex foam ensures ultimate comfort for every sleep position by adjusting to your body each time you move. Our advanced TitanCool technology keeps you cool in two ways: a phase change surface infusion and advanced conductivity properties draws excess heat away from the body, while a proprietary smooth top weave provides enhanced cooling on contact. An added infusion of copper and TitaniumGel enhances cooling while maintaining an anti-bacterial sleeping environment.	1. More Graphite 30% extra graphite maximizes cooling, sweeping 50% more heat away from the body. 2. Higher Quality Gel Upgraded Ceramic Gel absorbs 5 times more heat than conventional blue-gel products. 3. Open Cell Technology Our open-cell foam technology is designed to allow air to flow freely through the mattress, increasing breathability. 1. Comfy Top Layer We optimized the top layer of Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam to be a progressive combination of comfy and pressure relieving. 2. Cozy Cover A new thick, knit cover adds durability and coziness. 3. Pressure Relief Our progressive support and super comfortable top layers are designed to remove pressure points and bring relief.
Support	Engineered with up to 1,283 individually pocketed coils for better reactivity, the Brooklyn Aurora provides exceptional pressure point relief with motion isolation for minimized sleep disturbance, promising deeper and more restful sleep. A transition layer with the contouring properties of memory foam provides deep compression support, especially important to heavy sleepers.	The three layers in the Mint® Mattress work together to provide remarkable support that you'll find comfortable immediately as well as throughout the night. We increased the softness of the top layer for better pressure relief, increased the firmness of the bottom support layer (for edge support), and added a middle transitional layer to keep you from "bottoming" out. 1. Progressive Support Ordering our layers in a gradual firmness combines comfort and support. The more you push, the more it pushes back to meet you. 2. More Gel Beads 30% more gel beads in our second layer add cushion-like support. 3. More Edge Support Our improved, firmer base layer adds comfortable edge support.

FAQs

Brooklyn Aurora Hybrid

Can you flip the Brooklyn Aurora Hybrid mattress?

No, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Hybrid mattress is not designed to be flipped. If you flip it, you would be sleeping on the hard coil layer instead of the comfort layers. If you're looking for a flippable mattress from Brooklyn Bedding, consider the Plank Hybrid.

Are Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe beds any good?

Yes, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is a high-quality hybrid mattress designed to sleep cool. It's particularly suitable for back sleepers, hot sleepers, and those who prefer a feeling of sleeping "on top" of the mattress. However, whether it's the right mattress for you depends on your individual preferences and needs.

What cooling features are available in the Brooklyn Aurora Hybrid?

The Brooklyn Aurora Hybrid is equipped with advanced cooling features. It uses GlacioTex™, a cutting-edge fabric that provides cooling benefits on contact. The mattress is designed to maintain an ideal skin temperature of 88 degrees for sleep, compared to the average skin temperature of 91 degrees. It contains cooling gel beads that liquefy at higher temperatures to provide relief and solidify at lower temperatures to maintain an optimal sleep environment. The mattress also incorporates copper, a highly conductive material that naturally draws heat away from the body. Additionally, cooling gel treatments are present in the comfort foam layer and the tertiary memory foam layer, making it one of the most advanced cooling mattresses on the market.

Tuft & Needle Mint

How soft is Tuft and Needle Mint?

The Tuft and Needle Mint mattress is slightly softer than the original, with a firmness level of medium to medium-soft, or a 4 out of 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).

Does Tuft and Needle Mint sleep hot?

The Tuft & Needle Mint is not cool to the touch, but it is very cooling for a foam mattress. It uses graphite and cooling gel beads to promote breathability, making it suitable for hot sleepers who prefer a gentle all-foam feel.

Is Tuft and Needle Mint good for stomach sleepers?

The Tuft & Needle Mint provides enough support to prevent most stomach sleepers' hips from sinking in excessively and causing strain on their spines. However, some stomach sleepers, especially those who weigh more or carry most of their weight near their midsections, may experience more significant sinkage.
