Firmness

Firmness is a subjective concept and can vary from one person to another, depending on individual preferences and body types. A person’s body shape and size influence how a mattress feels. The firmness of the Brooklyn Essential mattress is classified as medium-firm, which means it provides a balance between support and comfort.

The mattress has multiple layers of high-density foam to achieve its desired firmness level. The top layer of the Brooklyn Essential mattress consists of 1.5” high-density quilted comfort layer. It is designed to provide a responsive and contouring feel, similar to memory foam, but with more bounce and faster recovery. This layer contributes to the overall comfort of the mattress and helps relieve pressure points.

The support layer acts as the primary support system for the mattress, offering durability and helps prevent sagging over time. The bottom layer of Brooklyn Essential features 8-inch AscensionX® coils constructed from premium steel and rolled in-house at their facility in Arizona. The combination of these layers creates a medium-firm feel, which is often preferred by individuals who enjoy a balance of support and cushioning.

The medium-firm firmness level typically suits a wide range of sleepers, including back, stomach, and combination sleepers. As per research, a mattress of medium-firmness is considered ideal for promoting sleep quality and improving spinal alignment.

Rating

Repositioning

Q1. How would you rate Brooklyn Essential Mattress from a repositioning & responsiveness perspective?

Repositioning refers to how easy or difficult it is to change positions on a mattress. A mattress with good repositioning allows you to move and adjust your body without feeling stuck or restricted. Responsiveness, on the other hand, refers to how quickly a mattress adapts to changes in pressure and movement. A responsive mattress will quickly conform to your body as you change positions, providing immediate support and pressure relief. Brooklyn Essential has a high-density foam that prevents the sinking feeling and you can change positions reasonably well. Its support layer features brand’s proprietary AscensionX® steel coils. These individually wrapped coils are extremely supportive and offer better contouring.

It is buoyant and provides a bouncy feel, allowing for quick adjustment and response to movements during sleep. The individually wrapped pocketed coils provide targeted support and can contribute to better repositioning ability by allowing the mattress to adapt to changes in body position.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Q2. How would you rate Brooklyn Essential Mattress for providing comfort and pressure relief to sleepers? 

Brooklyn Essential mattress is generally well-regarded for providing comfort and pressure relief to sleepers. It features a combination of foam layers that offer balance between cushioning and support. The top layer of the mattress utilizes a proprietary foam called Energex™, which provides responsiveness and contouring to the body. This helps in relieving pressure points and promoting a comfortable sleeping experience. People with back pain are often suggested a medium-firm mattress like the Brooklyn Essential mattress.

While Brooklyn Essential may not have the most advanced features compared to higher-end models, it still offers a comfortable sleeping surface for many individuals. This is mainly because Brooklyn uses its premium mattress materials in the construction of the Essential model.

However, it’s important to note that comfort and pressure relief can be subjective and may vary from person to person. It’s always a good idea to consider your individual preferences and needs when choosing a mattress. You can also avail the benefit of their risk-free trial facility.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Q3. How would you rate the cooling and overall temperature control characteristics of Brooklyn Essential Mattress?

Breathable fabric and foam in mattress construction allow heat dissipation. Foam mattresses usually retain heat but the individually encased coils in its support layer makes Brooklyn Essential more breathable. Brooklyn Essential mattress does not cause any major type of overheating.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Q4. Does Brooklyn Essential Mattresses provide reasonable motion isolation when sharing a bed with others?

Motion isolation refers to a mattress’s ability to minimize the transfer of motion from one side of the bed to the other. When a mattress has good motion isolation, it reduces the disturbance caused by movements such as tossing and turning, getting in and out of bed, or a partner’s movements during sleep. Evidently, coils promote more vibration. But with individually encased coils, the springy bounce gets minimized which means Brooklyn Essential offers a reasonably well motion isolation for comfortable, undisturbed sleep experience.

Brooklyn Essential Mattress is a 10-inch tall medium firm mattress that limits the transfer of motion. It is a mid-profile mattress that has more materials to absorb movement. The 8-inch AscensionX® coils layer reduce the transfer of vibration and sleepers get less disturbance while shifting or getting up at night.

Edge Support

Q5. How would you rate the edge support of Brooklyn Essential Mattresses?

Edge support means the support that a mattress offers around its perimeter or edge. It is an important feature and something couples need to consider while buying a new mattress. Deficient performance of edge support limits both sleeping and sex because here poor edge support means sleepers need to stay closer to the center of the bed, and not use its entire surface.

Brooklyn Essential mattress has strong edge support. A sleeper can move towards the edge without feeling like they will fall off during sleep. This is quite surprising for a thin mattress.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

After a hectic day of physical strain and mental stress, we need to have a welcoming bed at night. When you sleep well, you become more productive. Given below is a brief description on how Brooklyn Essential mattress responds to different types of sleeping positions.

It’s important to remember that personal preferences may vary, and individuals with specific comfort or support needs may have different experiences.

There are three basic sleep postures: Side, back, and stomach positions. Different type of sleeping positions determine how sleepers will react to a particular mattress.

Side Sleepers: 

• Side sleepers generally require a mattress that offers good pressure relief to alleviate stress on the shoulders and hips. Brooklyn Essential mattress can be a good choice for side sleepers due to its combination of comfort and pressure relief. Side sleepers often need a mattress that can contour to their body’s curves and alleviate pressure points in the shoulders and hips. The high-density quilted foam paired with AscensionX® coils provide adequate contouring and cushioning for side sleepers, promoting proper spinal alignment and reducing pressure points.
• Additionally, the medium-firm feel of Brooklyn Essential strikes a good balance between support and comfort. It can provide enough support to prevent excessive sinking while still offering a comfortable surface for side sleepers.

Back Sleepers: 

• Brooklyn Essential mattress can be a suitable choice for many back sleepers due to its medium-firm feel and supportive construction. Back sleepers generally require a mattress that offers adequate support to maintain proper spinal alignment. Brooklyn Essential provides a medium-firm feel, which can help support the natural curvature of the spine.
• While back sleepers don’t typically need as much contouring as side sleepers, a mattress that provides some contouring can help with pressure relief and overall comfort. The foam layers in Brooklyn Essential can conform to the body’s curves to provide a comfortable sleeping surface without excessive sinkage.

Stomach Sleepers: 

• Brooklyn Essential mattress may not be the most ideal choice for stomach sleepers who typically require a firmer mattress to maintain proper spinal alignment. Stomach sleepers generally need a mattress that is firm enough to prevent excessive sinkage and ensure proper support for the hips and lower back.
• The medium-firm feel may not provide enough support for some stomach sleepers. They may find that their midsection sinks too much, leading to potential discomfort and misalignment.
• Stomach sleepers need proper support to keep their spine in a neutral position. While the Brooklyn Essential offers a supportive construction, the medium-firm feel may not be sufficient for some stomach sleepers who require a firmer surface.
