Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Mattress Review
Have you ever sat down and wonder why people lose weight when they are lacking sleep? Sleep is a time for serious rest. Sleep lowers a person’s metabolic rate and energy consumption. The allostatic load on the body takes a toll, and sleep is a respite. Sleeping is to humans as reset button is to a smartphone. When you restart your phone, it stops hanging, all the applications will be restarted and everything starts working fine. The same applies to sleep. When you get enough sleep, you can wake up feeling refreshed and stronger, and you get the feeling you can do almost anything. That is a healthy feeling and can be achieved with a very good sleep.
Good sleep requires a comfortable mattress. Waking up several times because of discomfort or disturbance will affect the quality of sleep you will get. You may wake up and feel more tired or even start having body ache. With a good mattress, you will be able to sleep comfortably, wake up feeling well rested and ready to face the world.
Brooklyn aurora mattress is a hybrid mattress that comes with three firmness options.

Aurora Mattress Feel
Everyone enjoys an alternative when it comes to choosing something. Customers can choose between soft, firm and medium options. The medium comfort level is the most popular among customers. It provides a luxurious plush feel with a firm support. The medium firmness works for all sleeping position: side, back and stomach.
Depending on your preference and sleeping position, you can choose either the soft, medium or firm option. Side sleepers can choose the soft option as the mattress will contour effectively to the curves of the body, while the firm option is ideal for stomach sleepers. The medium option is still the best option especially for couples that have a different sleeping position, it provides comfort which is not too soft or too firm and also makes you sleep on the mattress rather than in the mattress. We ranked the soft feel a 3 out of 10, the medium 5 out of 10 and the firm feel a 7 out of 10, 10 being the firmest and 1 being the softest.
Brooklyn aurora mattress gave options to customers to choose their preferential firmness level, not many mattresses offer that privilege, I rate them 4.7 out of 5
Brooklyn Aurora Mattress Delivery & Setup
The mattress is compressed, sealed and delivered in a box. The delivery of the mattress is available for addresses in the U.S including Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada. The delivery charge for those living the contiguous areas of the U.S is FREE, but there is a delivery charge for Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada.
After ordering, it takes 1 to 3 days to process the order and it takes another 3 to five days before delivery is done. After ordering, track number comes after the order has been processed i.e. you won’t get your tracking number immediately after ordering. The delivery is done by FedEx Ground and they don’t provide removal of old mattress service. The free delivery is for standard-size mattresses, as the delivery charge may apply for custom orders.
The delivery service and set up of Brooklyn aurora is unlike many other mattresses, where the removal of old mattresses service is provided to customers. I rate Brooklyn aurora 3.5 out of 5.
AURORA UNBOXING
Aurora Mattress Off Gassing
Off Gassing for me is inevitable as almost all new products have that ‘smell’. Natural or Organic mattresses sometimes have the strongest smell, although most people associate them with no smell at all. The truth is no matter what brand you are buying, the smell of a new product will always be there. What makes some brands better than others is how long it takes for the brand to wear off.
The first thing you will do when you get your Aurora mattress is to bring it to the room, where you will open it. You do not want to unroll it in another room to avoid the room having the smell of a new mattress. When you are ready to open your mattress, use the cutter provided, if not use scissors but be very careful not to cut the fabric cover of the mattress.
After cutting, it will open and expand quickly and you will notice the ‘brand new mattress smell’. In most cases, the smell will be gone within 12-36 hours or very faint. I always recommend proper ventilation and also use of a mattress protector so once the mattress airs out use a protector and sheets and at that point, you should not experience much smell at all.
Motion Isolation Test
Light sleepers pretty much wake up at the sound of the slightest sound, or at the slightest disturbance. There are those days you really need a good rest and the constant waking up and turning around of your partner might make you want to hate them, it is frustrating sometimes. So pretty much, when buying a new mattress, one of the important and popular feature customers look out for is the motion isolation. Depending on the type of foam used for the mattress, you can conclude for yourself if the mattress has good motion isolation or not.
Latex and polyfoam have a good spring back and quicker bounce-back response and this makes them less appealing for motion isolation than memory foam. However, the TitanFlex foam on the Aurora isn’t too bad for motion isolation. The individually pocketed coils help with stability as well. It is still a responsive bed, so it’s not perfect –not many mattresses are anyway
I rate Brooklyn aurora 4.7 out of 5.
Edge Support Test
Sleepers that often turn around or have sleeping partners that tend to take up the whole space on the mattress, find themselves at the edge of the mattress and if the mattress doesn’t have a good edge support, they may end up slipping down from the mattress to the floor.
The 8" layer of quantum edge pocketed coils that surround the edge of the mattress gives it a very good edge support. Sleepers using Brooklyn aurora mattress do not need to worry about slipping down from the mattress when they sleep at the edge. There is good support from the center of the bed to the edges.
I rate Brooklyn aurora 4.7 out of 5.
Bounce & Foam Response
For a modern mattress with three layers of memory foam, you’d expect the Nectar to perform well here. Thankfully, it does.
The sheer softness and responsiveness of the Nectar means that any pressure applied to one part of the surface does not spread to other parts. You can comfortably sit a cup of coffee next to you on the bed and not have to worry about it tipping over. Likewise, it’s easy to place a laptop, phone, pens and files on the bed without having them roll towards you as you manoeuvre on the surface.
For people sharing the bed, any motion disturbance is kept to a minimum, and you should be able to move around easily without disturbing the person next to you.
We give the Nectar Sleep Mattress 4.9 out of 5 for motion reduction.
Temperature
Not everybody likes sleeping hot. Some people find it difficult to sleep during the hot weather especially when the mattress itself is also hot. So, customers tend to appreciate mattresses that can regulate temperature. Brooklyn Aurora use TitanFlex foam in their constructions, which has latex-like cooling properties and helps defend against sleeping too hot. However the Aurora goes a few steps further by using phase change material in the cover and adding a cooling surface component to the comfort layer. These additions to the construction, as well as the coil layer, provide an added focus on cooling to the Aurora.
Brooklyn aurora was designed in such a way to keep the sleeper cool at all times. It is very considerate and good use of different materials. I rate Brooklyn aurora 4.75 out of 5.
Nectar Construction
-
Brooklyn aurora mattress was made using specialized materials with peculiar names that is confusing and complex at first glance, but if you take your time to understand the functions and role they all play to provide absolute comfort and support to sleepers, you will appreciate the great length Brooklyn went in making this particular mattress. The materials are:
-
Two-Way Circular Knit (Stretch) Cover
-
1.5” Medium TitanFlex Foam Layer with TitanCool
-
2” Medium Firm TitanFlex Layer
-
1” (Transition) Firm Swirl Visco-Elastic Memory Foam Layer
-
8’ Quantum Edge Pocketed Coils
-
1” Base Support Foam
-
The cover used on the mattress is a Two-way circular knit cover, and it has a phase change component which makes the cover feel cool when touched. There have been complaints over time among customers about sleeping hot, especially on memory foam. Rising to the temperature challenge, mattress component makers have introduced series of components that mechanically increase airflow, thus, regulating temperature. Phase change component is one of these components and it helps to regulate temperature in the mattress.
-
TitanFlex is a hyperelastic material that has a similar feel to latex but it is stronger and more durable. It also has an open cell structure with an addition of TitanCool that helps to regulate the temperature. It helps to relieve stress around the body as it contours to the body of the sleeper, and it quick bounce-back response when pressure is released. According to the company, their foams are safe for people with latex allergies.
-
Memory foam is a type of foam similar to polyfoam. They are both made from polyurethane. The major difference between memory foam and polyfoam is the visco-elastic property of memory foam. This property makes sleepers sleep in the mattress rather than sleep on the mattress. It is a very good material for motion isolation, as they reduce bouncing on the mattress and has a slower bounce-back response when pressure is released.
-
Memory foam is ideal foam for sleepers with a joint problem as it cradles sleepers and conforms to the shape of the sleeper. However, it traps heat and that makes it not suitable for customers that are heat sensitive, but Brooklyn was smart enough to use memory foam together with TitanCool and a phase change component, these two materials helps to regulate temperature, as such the heat-trapping effect of the memory foam will not be felt while sleeping on the Brooklyn aurora mattress.
-
Pocketed coils are generally known to provide support. Normally placed in the support core of a mattress, pocketed coil is good support materials, this material is majorly responsible for providing good edge support for the Brooklyn aurora mattress.
-
As I mentioned earlier, the names of the materials sound peculiar but I am sure after reading their functions, you will appreciate the effort Brooklyn went in engineering this materials together to produce a mattress, that not only provides comfort but support too.
-
I rate Brooklyn aurora mattress 4.5 out of 5.
Aurora Trial & Warranty
-
“If in doubt, a trial will assure you” is a popular quote among marketers, but the problem most of these products have is, when you have checked out the product and it is not satisfactory, you cannot take it back. That is why many customers prefer to buy a product from companies they are familiar with or companies they have read a good review on. However, thanks to the 120-night sleep trial of Brooklyn mattress, customers can order the mattress and check it out, and if they do not find it satisfactory they can return the mattress and get their refund. The trial helps customers to test out mattresses without the risk of losing all their money, but one term attached to Brooklyn aurora mattress is a mandatory 30-night trial. Customers must use the bed for at least 30 nights before they ask for a refund and return the mattress or exchange it for another one.
-
After the 30 days trial and customers are not satisfied with the mattress, they can return it and get a refund or exchange it. However, shipping fee and additional charges incurred when ordering the mattress are non-refundable. One part I am less impressed, but Brooklyn is not in charge of making the deliveries, so paying customers back the delivery charge is an additional loss.
-
Brooklyn offers a 10-year non-prorated warranty. The period of the warranty starts on the day of purchase. Brooklyn will repair or replace mattresses that are defected but not all cases of defective mattress will be covered, there are terms and conditions associated with the warranty. For example, stains, burns, and other types of physical damage that occur due to owner misuse, improper cleaning, or inadequate foundational support will not be covered by the warranty. You must be the original purchaser of the mattress if you want to enjoy the warranty. Brooklyn will not replace or repair a mattress they deem unsanitary.
-
Before you request for warranty coverage, be sure you abide by the terms and condition so as to avoid a case of misunderstanding and unsatisfactory response.

I rate Brooklyn aurora mattress 4.6 out of 5 under trial and warranty
