Construction

Cocoon Mattresses9.4

Cocoon is an all-foam mattress (classic and chill). These construction details cover both versions since the sole difference is their covers. However, the mattresses come in two firmness options: medium-soft and extra firm.

There’s a slight difference in the construction of the medium-soft and that of the extra firm. While the medium-soft has a transition layer, the extra-firm version does not. Thus, the medium soft is in 3 layers and the firm feel in 2 layers. Their bases are also different, but that will be covered in the details.

Construction Details

Premium-grade Fabric Cover (Classic)

The cover here is made from 100% polyester. This gives it a soft feel and it’s quite breathable for the smooth passage of air if you love to sleep cool. This cover is durable and is a stretch-knit fabric cover.

Phase Change Cover (Chill)

The Chill mattress took a notch upwards for extra coolness with the infusion of a phase change material in its stretch-knit cover. This technology regulates the ambient temperature to keep you cool just when you need it. It’s also cool to the touch and stays fresh for you.

Comfort Layer

Both versions used premium memory foam in their comfort layers. The memory foam used is 2 inches tall. While you get immersed into both mattresses, this memory foam engulfs your whole body, adapts to its shape and size to give you a comfortable sleep all night.

Transition Layer

This layer is present only in the medium-soft option. It’s 2 inches of polyfoam that serves to convey the sleeper from the soft memory foam layer upwards down to the thick support base beneath. This transition allows the mattress to contour the body properly for pressure relief.

Support Core

The Baselayer or core of both mattresses is designed to be sturdy. This is to ensure it serves its purpose of durability and structural stability.

For the extra firm feel option, the base layer is 8 inches of high-density polyfoam which keeps the mattress in shape, and since it’s just beneath the memory foam, it creates the required firmness to support heavyweight sleepers.

 

The medium-soft option, however, sacrificed 2 inches of its base layer to form a transition layer just above it, making the support base 6 inches of high-density polyfoam. The transition layer limits direct interaction between the comfort layer and the sturdy base keeping things super soft.

 

Brooklyn Mattresses8.5

The Brooklyn Signature :

The Brooklyn Signature combines 6″ of individually pocketed Ascension™ springs with 4″ of patented hyper-responsive foam for increased comfort and deeper compression support. Both top foam layers are treated with a cooling TitaniumGel™ infusion to optimize temperature, making this mattress the highest value bed on the market.

Plank:

For sleepers who can never find a mattress firm enough, the Plank by Brooklyn Bedding delivers an ultra-firmer, flatter, flippable surface, creating a neutral spine position that’s better for your back and posture overall. The top side of the mattress is standard firm; the bottom side is ultra-firm, allowing for an easily flippable, highly customizable sleep—engineered to reduce pressure on your circulatory system and provide better blood flow while compelling you to inhale more oxygen while you snooze.

Spartan:

The Spartan by Brooklyn Bedding is an elite hybrid mattress, featuring an extreme performance fabric registered for general wellness by the FDA using Far Infrared Rays (FIR) technology—designed to help you reset and rejuvenate quicker by harnessing and recycling the body’s natural energy throughout the sleep cycle. Combined with the patented advanced cooling of TitanCool™, and a layer of CopperGel™ Energex, the Spartan also delivers ultimate responsiveness with maximum cooling in an antimicrobial sleep environment.

Aurora :

The coolest take ever on affordable luxury was derived from science—the average skin temperature is 91 degrees, but the ideal sleep temperature is 88 degrees. To maintain the optimal sleep temperature of 88 degrees, they infused a phase change molecule called TitanCool™ on the surface of the Brooklyn Aurora to moderate your temperature: cooling gel beads liquefy at higher temperatures to deliver cooling relief; those same beads solidify at lower temperatures to ensure an ideal sleep environment. A premium smooth top weave allows the proper amount of cooling to be delivered to you on contact. The result is the most elite sleep experience yet.

The overall construction depends on the product you have selected but most come with:

• A Quilted Top: It prevents body impression and has a smooth feel to it so you can sleep comfortably on the mattress.
• TitanFlex Comfort: This patented layer features unique response technology that adjusts according to your body. It also includes TitaniumGel that promotes cooling to ensure you never feel uncomfortable.
• Energex Support: This acts as a transition layer and improves compression and body contouring which helps align the spine.
• Ascension Encased Coil: 952 encased coils offer better motion isolation and reactivity making it easy to sleep with a partner.
• Support Foam: In the end is a 1″ support foam that makes the mattress durable and ensures it retains its shape.

The construction of this hybrid mattress is in 5 layers each with different materials. It’s also the most feature loaded mattress out there according to Brooklyn Beddings.

Sleeping Type

Cocoon Mattresses9.5

The cocoon mattress comes in two firmness options: the medium soft (5-6) and the extra firm (8-9).

The medium soft option is best for side sleepers. The softness will allow for medium sinkage and the contouring of their curves for full side support. The medium soft option makes the side sleepers have that in-the-bed feeling as the transition layer allows them to sink in deep for pressure relief.

The extra firm is great for the exclusive back and stomach sleepers. It creates the on-the-bed feeling rather than in-the-bed which is seen in the medium soft version. The firmness is great for stomach sleepers as it limits the deep sinkage of their hips which can be downright discomforting. The firmness also keeps the spine aligned for the comfort of back sleepers.

Brooklyn Mattresses9.3

All six mattresses from Brooklyn are offered in three level of firmness. Soft, medium and firm with the exception of the Brooklyn Browery Hybrid and Brooklyn Browery which are only at the universally accepted medium firm position.

Either ways, all six mattresses have the medium firm option which is great for any sleeper whether back, stomach or side.

With options to choose among the firmness, you can get the bespoke mattress for your sleeping position by choosing;

Soft if:

You are a side sleeper

Medium firm if:

You alternate all three sleeping types and

Firm if:

You are a stomach sleeper or back sleeper.

Conclusion

Brooklyn came in 1995 and has six mattresses with options between hybrid and foams to choose from.

Cocoon from Sealy has been around since 1881 and offers two all-foam mattresses: The Classic and Chill.

When it comes to comfort, from the TitanCool to TitanFlex, CopperFlex and its patented EnergexTM foam, Brooklyn’s mattresses comes with promising comfort and its coils provide the needed back support and pressure relief.

Cocoon however, beats Brooklyn to the game of offerings in comfort as well as supoort.

A phase change layer in its Chill mattress regulates ambient temperature to keep the sleeper cool and hot depending on the weather. A premium quilted cover on the Classic is soft to the touch and cool for comfort.

Memory foam layers underneath these covers provides cradling comfort and support for the sleeper while they choose between two firmness levels.
