The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling is a hybrid mattress, which means it uses foam and coils in its construction, designed to deliver high-quality cooling, support, and comfort. Notably, the mattress is available in three firmness options (Soft, Medium, and Firm), making the already versatile bed even more accessible to different types of sleepers.
In the past seven years, Mattress Clarity experts have tested and reviewed more than 500 mattresses, helping over 43,000 people find the right mattress for their homes. Our team of sleep science coaches and industry leaders, with medical guidance from quadruple-board-certified physician Dr. Raj Dasgupta, strives to deliver unbiased, in-depth reviews of every mattress we report on.
When testing, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe really stood out for its versatility. It earned high scores for its pressure-relieving abilities and edge support, making it a great choice for back and side sleepers seeking a durable mattress with full-surface support. However, given it has “cooling” in its name, we were a little underwhelmed with its temperature-regulation capabilities.
I’ll go through all our testing and share my opinion on who this mattress works best for, so you can decide if it’s the right mattress for you.
Our Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Review in a Nutshell
During our testing sessions, we found that the versatile Aurora Luxe provided 5-star pressure relief for back sleepers, with side sleepers also experiencing plenty of comfort. Its high-quality hybrid construction offers reliable edge support for people who need sturdy edges when getting in and out of bed, while its solid responsiveness makes it a top pick for combination sleepers. However, its ability to keep sleepers cool was only average, which is disappointing for a “cooling mattress”.
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is offered in three firmness levels and features a durable hybrid construction. Our testers found that this mattress blends soft comfort with firm support to deliver quality pressure relief for sleepers. Those who sleep with a restless partner, may want to steer clear because of its subpar motion isolation, and despite having cooling in its name, this mattress didn’t blow us away in that category.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Mattress Performance: My Overall Rating
Every mattress we review undergoes our rigorous testing methodology, which assesses the performance qualities of a bed we believe are most important to people seeking better quality sleep. We score every category on a 1 to 5 scale and then average all our testing scores to give a mattress an overall rating. The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe received a 4.4 out of 5 rating. Its most notable scores were in pressure relief and edge support, and it also demonstrated great responsiveness.

I Recommend the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe For…
- Back and side sleepers. This mattress offered top-shelf pressure relief in both positions.
- Combination sleepers. The Auroa Luxe is responsive, making it easy to change positions.
- People with mobility issues. With support that extends to the edges, seniors and those with mobility issues should be able to get in and out of bed with minimal effort.
I Don’t Recommend the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe For…
- Hot sleepers. Those who overheat may not find the level of cooling they would expect from the Aurora Luxe, despite it being a “cooling” mattress.
- Couples. If you share a bed with a restless partner, this mattress’s motion-isolating abilities may leave a little to be desired.
- Adjustable bed fans. The Medium firmness option was just a smidge too firm to fully conform to an adjustable base.

How Firm is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress?
Mattress firmness refers to how soft or hard a bed feels when you rest on it. Notably, choosing the right firmness really comes down to your sleeping patterns and body weight. For example, lighter side sleepers will find a softer mattress works better for them, while heavier stomach sleepers will often prefer a firmer mattress.
We use a firmness guide to judge a bed’s firmness on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being as soft as it gets and 10 being like a hardwood floor. For reference, medium-firm, which is the industry standard, is graded at 6.5/10. We rated the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress we tried as 7/10 in firmness, which is slightly firmer than average, but could be a great choice for back and stomach sleepers. However, I should note that the mattress is also available in softer 5/10 firmness and firmer 7.5/10 firmness levels.
We also had one of our testers try out the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe in each sleeping position to see how its firmness felt for different sleeper types.
On their side, they found the Aurora Luxe felt a bit firmer than a “true medium,” but still offered relief for sensitive joints. They added that despite the firmer feeling of the mattress, “My hips do feel lifted properly, and the spinal alignment is legit.”
When they rolled onto their back, they found the firmness offered excellent support and said, “I think this is perfect for a back sleeper.” They also found plenty of lumbar support and a nice balance of plush cushioning and spinal support, finishing the assessment with a simple, “no complaints here.”
The level of firmness we found with the 7/10 firmness model may be good for some stomach sleepers, especially lighter ones, with our tester saying, “I feel good on my stomach, the cushioning is really nice along my chest and hips, and I don’t feel pressure building up anywhere.” They actually suggested the mattress for stomach sleepers in the end, pointing out that they “didn’t feel any sort of pinch or tension in my lower back, nor any pressure in the position.”
How Does the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Feel for Different Body Types and Sleeping Positions?
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe received a 7/10 on our firmness scale, with side sleepers weighing less than 230 pounds finding it a bit too firm to sink into. Fortunately, the Aurora Luxe offers a plusher, firmer option so that sleepers can home in on the feel they desire.
| Sleeper Weight | Side Sleepers | Back Sleepers | Stomach Sleepers |
| Light (under 130 lbs) | Good | Excellent | Excellent |
| Average (130-230 lbs) | Good | Excellent | Good |
| Heavy (over 230 lbs) | Excellent | Good | Good |
Average-weight Tester
“I think this is perfect for a back sleeper. It provides enough firmness to keep the spine lifted and aligned, but it still has a ton of plushness that cushions the upper back and contours the lower back. No complaints here!”
Lightweight Tester
“Love it on my back. It has a cushy feel, but it’s not teetering towards the ‘too soft’ zone. My spine is as straight as an arrow, and I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere.”
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe In-Depth Test Results
Pressure Relief
Our testers assess a bed’s pressure-relieving qualities by using a specialized pressure mat that measures pressure buildup in the body in pounds per square inch (PSI). Lower PSI scores indicate better pressure relief, with higher scores suggesting poorer pressure relief. We also have a lightweight and an average-weight tester try out the mattress with the mat and consider their personal experiences, in addition to the mat’s results, to make our final grade.
Our lightweight tester tried the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe on their side and gave the experience a 4/5. Our mat also recorded a really low PSI of 9.32, which we’d consider excellent. Our tester deducted a point because they were too light to experience the sinkage and contouring they would have liked to, saying, “No pressure at all, and it’s not too firm for side sleepers, but I will say I’m not getting super deep sinkage and contouring at my shoulders and hips.”
When our tester switched onto their back, they gave the position a 5/5. Our mat also recorded an excellent 8.92 PSI, with our in-house expert saying that they “loved the mattress on their back.” They also said, “It has a cushy feel, but it’s not teetering towards the ‘too soft’ zone. My spine is as straight as an arrow, and I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere.”
When our average-weight tester tried out the Aurora Luxe on their side, they gave it a 4/5 rating. They had a great PSI reading of 10.4, but they didn’t feel the level of pressure relief at their hips and shoulders that they would have liked, so they deducted one point for side-sleeping. They explained their score, saying, “Side sleeping will likely feel okay for most sleepers. It’s still cushy, but it’s just a tad too firm, and I didn’t feel much pressure at my hips or shoulders. I could see some side sleepers, especially those with sensitive joints, craving a bit more body contouring, but my hips do feel properly lifted, and the spinal alignment is legit.”
When they switched to the back sleeping position, they gave the experience a 5/5, with an excellent 9 PSI score on the mat supporting the grade. On their back, they said, “I think this is perfect for a back sleeper. It provides enough firmness to keep the spine lifted and aligned, while offering a ton of plushness that cushions the upper back and contours the lumbar region. No complaints here.”
Overall, I’d say you can expect high-quality pressure relief on the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe. However, some sleepers, especially lightweight side sleepers, may find that the Medium version that we tested runs a bit firm. I suggest taking a look at our top pressure-relieving mattress picks if the Aurora Luxe still doesn’t seem right for you.
Edge Support
We judge edge support by how sturdy a bed’s edges are when getting in and out of bed or when sleeping right up on them. Edge support often also reflects a bed’s durability, as explained by Dr. Raj Dasgupta: “A durable mattress is characterized by high-quality materials, a strong support core, minimal sagging, and edge support.”
Our testers gave the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe a 4.6/5 for its edge support. This is a quality grade and above average. This suggests that seniors or people who need firm edges when getting in and out of bed should get the level of support they need on the Aurora Luxe.
It also means that couples sharing this bed can expect quality support and comfort along its edges, not just at its center. Furthermore, building on Dr. Raj’s statement, I’d say this score also suggests that the Aurora Luxe is unlikely to sag easily and has a durable build and foundation.
Cooling
A good mattress should help dissipate body heat and provide a cool, neutral sleeping temperature. That’s why we conducted an objective and subjective test to assess how well the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling kept sleepers cool. Our testers gave the mattress a 3.5/5 for cooling, which is below average and not the best score for a mattress with cooling in its name.
To obtain this score, we use a thermal gun to measure the mattress’s surface temperature. First, we measure the bed’s surface temperature, then have one of our testers rest on the mattress for roughly five minutes, and then we measure it again with the thermal gun after they get off the mattress.
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe’s starting surface temperature was 68.6 degrees, and after our tester got off the bed, it rose to 76.7 degrees. An 8.1-degree increase is not awful, but as you can see in the graph below, it is slightly disappointing for a luxury “cooling” mattress.
However, after our tester rested it on for seven minutes, they had a much more complimentary take on the mattress’s cooling capabilities: “I know the temperature difference doesn’t reflect this, but I thought it felt crisp and cool to the touch. As I lay there, I felt a tiny bit warmer, but overall my temperature was regulated. I never felt too warm or like I was overheating.”
Our tester’s experience suggests that average sleepers may find the cooling technology they need with the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe, but I wouldn’t recommend this mattress for super hot sleepers, especially given its luxury price. If top-of-the-line cooling is super important to you, take a look at our best cooling mattress picks available today.
| Less than a 4-degree change | 5/5 |
| 4-6 degree change | 4.5/5 |
| 6-8 degree change | 4/5 |
| 8-10 degree change | 3.5/5 |
| 10-12 degree change | 3/5 |
| 12-14 degree change | 2.5/5 |
| 14-16 degree change | 2/5 |
| 16+ degree change | 1/5 |
Motion Isolation
According to Dr. Raj Dasgupta, “Motion transfer refers to how movement on one side of a mattress affects the other side. The quality of a mattress is linked to its ability to minimize motion transfer. A mattress with good motion isolation offers a quiet sleep environment, undisturbed sleep, and comfort for couples.”
A bed with creaky springs, or one that has you waking up at your partner’s slightest movement, would be considered a bed with bad motion isolation, making this category particularly important to couples and restless sleepers. After multiple tests, we gave the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe a 3.8/5.
We ran two tests to get this score, with the first called a “ripple test.” Here, we place a large glass of water on one side of the bed and have one of our testers get in and out of the bed and switch sleeping positions next to it. While moving, our tester observes how little the glass of water responds to their movements. Our tester reported that, “The water swayed rapidly in the glass, faster than I would have liked to see for this test. It didn’t spill, nor did it look like it was about to, so the foam did a decent job muffling motion.” Even though the water didn’t spill, “rapid” water movement isn’t a good sign for this test.
After the ripple test, we did a “partner test,” where a tester replaces the glass of water and reports how much they feel the other tester’s movements on the opposite side of the bed. The tester who felt for motion transfer said, “I could feel most of my partner’s motion whenever they rolled towards me. It was pretty normal when they got in and out of bed, and shifting around me was pretty good. But rolling inward toward my side of the bed was a bit jostling.”
The overall score is just around average, but I wouldn’t say the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is the best choice for couples or combination sleepers based on these results, especially considering its price tag. If your partner wakes you up often, or you find yourself waking up when switching sleeping positions, I’d suggest taking a look at some memory foam alternatives, or our review of the best mattresses for couples available today (motion isolation is a key part of how we determine our top picks).
Response
According to Dr. Raj Dasgupta, “A hybrid mattress generally provides a responsive feel and caters to various sleep positions, making it a comfortable and supportive choice for many sleepers.”
Responsiveness is best defined as how well a mattress responds to your body’s movements on its surface while providing consistent support. It’s particularly important for combination sleepers and couples, as better responsiveness suggests easier movement on the bed’s surface.
Our tester moved around on the bed and switched sleeping positions to gauge responsiveness, ultimately giving the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe a 4/5 for its responsiveness. They explained their score and experience, saying, “The pillow top is plush, so I had to exert just a little bit of effort to move between positions. Yet, there was no ‘quicksand’ effect, and I didn’t feel trapped in the bed at all. I think the springs’ bounciness helped make the transition between positions much smoother.”
Sinkage: Moderate
When we test for sinkage, we place a 44-pound kettlebell on a mattress and measure its depth of sinkage with a ruler. This “sinkage” test helps highlight how much sleepers can expect to compress into the bed, or experience that “quicksand” sensation, best known with softer or memory foam mattresses.
While sinkage can offer great comfort, it’s important to always ensure you experience “safe sinkage,” where you’re not only comfortable but still experience proper spinal alignment.
Our testers measured 4 inches of sinkage on the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe, which is at the high end of “moderate sinkage”. Four inches of sinkage is a good amount for such a firm mattress, meaning you can likely expect a good balance of plush cushioning from the bed’s upper comfort layers and support from its firm innerspring core. However, the experience of sinkage will vary based on your weight, and it’s always important to ensure that, in addition to comfort, your spine’s alignment remains intact.
| Light Sinkage | 0-2.5” |
| Moderate Sinkage | 2.6-4” |
| Deep Sinkage | 4+” |
Bounce: High
A bed’s bounce reflects its buoyancy and responsiveness. That’s why we climbed a ladder, dropped a ball onto the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe, and measured how high it bounced back up. The ball sprang back up 21 inches during the test, which we’d deem a high bounce, suggesting that despite its soft upper layers, the hybrid mattress offers strong responsiveness and bounce.
| Low Bounce | 12” or less |
| Moderate Bounce | 12”-18” |
| High Bounce | 18” or more |
Noise
Creaky or noisy beds can keep light sleepers awake and make it harder for couples to maintain privacy; that’s why we have our testers move around on the beds we test to see how noisy they are. When our testers put the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe to the test, they didn’t hear a peep, calling it “super quiet” and giving it a perfect 5/5 score.
Sex
We define the best mattresses for sex by their responsiveness (ease of movement on the bed), edge support (full-surface usability and support), and noise (privacy). The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe received a 4.5/5 for sex after averaging the scores across these three performance categories. This is a slightly above-average score, and it makes the Aurora Luxe a potentially great choice for couples.
Adjustable Base Compatibility
Brooklyn Bedding claims its Aurora Luxe model is compatible with most adjustable bases, but our testing didn’t find the most convincing results. Our testers gave the mattress a 3/5 when testing it on an adjustable base, finding it too firm to bend effectively with it.
They explained the test results, saying, “This hybrid might just be a smidge too firm to properly bend and conform to the base. Now, it wasn’t terrible by any means, and you can probably still use this bed on an adjustable base, but there was some notable gapping underneath.”
To be fair, many mattresses, especially firmer ones, tend to show some noticeable gapping when we try them in our testing studio. However, this score was given while still taking this into account. You can peruse our list of the best mattresses for an adjustable base for a better match.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Customer Experience Scores
Our customer experience scores reflect a mattress company’s fine print on warranty support, its sleep trial, and the process of receiving or returning your mattress. Here’s what we thought about the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe’s customer experience.
Trial Period
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe includes a 120-night sleep trial with your purchase, which we scored at 4/5. This is a fairly generous sleep trial, but we deducted a point because some luxury mattresses offer more generous 365-night sleep trials, and Brooklyn Bedding charges a $99 return fee if you return your mattress during the trial period.
Warranty
The Aurora Luxe includes a limited lifetime warranty, which we scored at 4.5/5. We deducted a half point because Brooklyn Bedding will only replace your mattress for defects they’re responsible for at no cost for the first 10 years.
Unboxing and Moving
Like most online mattresses, the Aurora Luxe arrives compressed in a box. When we received it at our studio, our tester said, “This is a standard bed-in-a-box mattress. You’ll likely need someone to help you move the mattress around and put it on the bed frame. No major complaints, but it is heavier than some beds I’ve tried.”
They gave the unboxing and moving experience a 4/5.
Readiness After Unboxing
Despite Brooklyn Bedding suggesting waiting 3 to 5 hours for their mattress to be used after unboxing, our testers found it fully inflatedin “less than 15-20 minutes.” They gave this category a 5/5, citing that the bed “was almost instantly ready.”
Off-gassing
New mattresses can sometimes come with a harmless but noticeable off-gassing smell upon arrival. Brooklyn Bedding actually says that if you smell anything like this, it should dissipate in 24 to 72 hours. However, when our testers opened the bed’s box, they noticed “no smell” at all, giving this category a perfect 5/5 score.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Construction
We go through the ins and outs of every mattress we review, including examining its interior
layers and construction. Below, I’ll break down exactly what the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is made of and its luxury hybrid build.
Mattress Height & Weight
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is slightly taller than average (12 inches) at 13.25 inches. However, if you add their Cloud Pillowtop upgrade, meant to enhance plush comfort, it stands at 14.5 inches.
Furthermore, the queen-size Aurora Luxe weighs roughly 100 pounds according to Brooklyn Bedding’s official site.
Materials
The Aurora Luxe is a hybrid mattress, meaning it uses cooling fibers, coils, and foam (all foam materials used are CertiPUR-US certified). We also cut into the side of the mattress to see exactly how it’s made.
Layers
On the surface, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe features a Glaciotex cooling cover that draws heat away from the body. Our tester found it “sleek” and cool to the touch. Underneath this is a quilted foam layer designed for comfort, moisture wicking, and airflow.
Then there is a 1.5-inch copper-infused foam layer, designed for comfort and to further draw heat away from the body while offering some antimicrobial benefits. Under this is a 1-inch layer of memory foam for enhanced pressure relief and contouring.
Between the Aurora Luxe’s upper comfort layers and base is a 1-inch layer of Variflex transition foam, designed to be responsive and balance the comfort layers with the bed’s support-focused foundation.
At the bed’s core is a massive layer of individually encased coils that is zoned for enhanced lumbar support, which, depending on the bed’s size, according to Brooklyn Bedding, can include up to 1,032 encased coils. Finally, at the bed’s foundation, there is a 0.75-inch layer of high-density foam that helps reinforce durability, structural integrity, and the bed’s edges.
How To Try and Buy The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe can be easily purchased on its official website and delivered directly to your home. Their 120-night sleep trial is guaranteed when ordering directly from the company’s website, and you’ll likely find the most discounted prices there. But if you still want to try the bed in person before buying, they have showroom locations across the US, which you can find on their official website’s store locator.

How The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Compares
Considering how vast the online mattress marketplace is, it can be super helpful to have options to compare when choosing the best mattress for you. Here’s how the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe compares to some other mattresses we’ve reviewed in our studio.
- Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid – Better cooling features
- Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress – Great value
- Saatva Classic – Superior edge support
|  |  |  | |
| Rating | ||||
| Firmness | Medium-Firm: 7/10 | Multiple Firmness Options | Medium-Firm: 6/10 | Multiple Firmness Options |
| Material | Hybrid | Hybrid | Hybrid | Innerspring |
| Cooling | — | — | — | — |
| Best For | Back Sleepers, Stomach Sleepers, Hot Sleepers | Side Sleepers, Back Sleepers, Stomach Sleepers | Side Sleepers, Back Sleepers, Stomach Sleepers | Back Sleepers, Stomach Sleepers, Hot Sleepers |
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe vs. Helix Midnight Luxe
Like the Aurora Luxe, the Helix Midnight Luxe is also a hybrid mattress. Unlike the Aurora Luxe, the Midnight Luxe is only available in a single firmness level: a softer 6/10. Despite being advertised as a cooling mattress and sharing the same parent company, the Helix Midnight Luxe demonstrated better cooling performance (4.5/5) than the Aurora Luxe, making it a potentially better choice for hot sleepers. Furthermore, side sleepers, especially lightweight ones, will likely find the medium Helix Midnight Luxe offering a cozier feel, but the mattress still limits you to one firmness option.
The Midnight Luxe was just a tad better in edge support (4.8/5) and motion isolation (4/5), but the Aurora Luxe offered better pressure relief.
The beds are similarly priced before discounts, and both offer the same trials and warranties, but I would definitely suggest the Midnight Luxe for super hot sleepers over the Aurora Luxe.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe vs. Leesa Sapira Chill
The Leesa Sapira Chill is also a hybrid mattress available in three firmness options. However, our testers found that their medium-firm (6/10) model ran softer than the Aurora Luxe model we tested. The Sapira Chill also had slightly better cooling (4/5) than the Aurora Luxe, but while both are advertised as cooling mattresses, neither met our expectations for this category.
Both had the same pressure relief score (4.5/5), but the Sapira Chill outperformed the Aurora Luxe in every category except edge support and the broader customer experience.
Before discounts and upgrades, the Sapira Chill is only slightly more expensive than the Aurora Luxe, with queens coming in at $2,399 and $2,265, respectively. Despite the very small price difference, the Sapira Chill showed better overall performance scores in testing and has a similar construction type, which has me considering it the superior mattress, unless edge support is a serious priority for you.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe vs. Saatva Classic
The Saatva Classic is technically an innerspring mattress because of two coil layers. The Saatva name is well-associated with luxury and features eco-friendly materials, such as an organic cotton cover. Most notably, the Saatva Classic received perfect 5/5 scores for its edge support and responsiveness.
The Saatva Classic and Aurora Luxe both scored 4.5/5 for pressure relief, with the Saatva having slightly better cooling during testing and earning 4/5 for temperature regulation. However, when it came to motion isolation, likely in part due to Saatva’s massive dual innerspring design, it received a much lower 2.67/5 for the category.
Overall, the Saatva Classic may be a better choice, especially since it’s not much more expensive than the Aurora Luxe; however, couples or restless sleepers who need quality motion isolation will definitely prefer the Aurora Luxe, or at least want to look elsewhere.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress FAQs
Is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe good for side sleepers?
Yes, but this depends on your weight and the firmness option you choose. Lighter side sleepers should opt for the softest Aurora Luxe model, while heavier side sleepers should consider the firmest option.
How firm is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress?
The Aurora Luxe is available in three firmness options: soft (5/10, and likely feels medium-soft), medium (7/10), and firm (7.5/10). Furthermore, our testers found that the mattress may feel or run firmer than its advertised firmness level.
Does the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe sleep cool?
The mattress offered decent cooling, and its GlacioTex cooling cover (which includes phase change materials that help draw heat away from the body) does help with some heat dissipation. However, given that it’s marketed as the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress, I would say it could have done a better job and may work for some hot sleepers, but I wouldn’t consider it a go-to for hot sleepers.
Is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe worth the price?
This depends on your sleeping patterns, and experiences will vary. I would say it has a durable build, quality materials, and impressive construction, but you may find more affordable mattresses that perform just as well.
What are the differences between the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe and the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid?
The two mattresses are quite similar, but the Aurora Luxe has better cooling and edge support than the Signature Hybrid, according to our testing. On the other hand, the Signature Hybrid was found to have better motion isolation and slightly better pressure relief.
Does the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe provide good support for back pain?
Yes, the zoned support within its coiled layer and high-quality pressure relief make the mattress a potentially great choice for sleepers struggling with back pain.
How long does the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress last?
This depends on how you use and care for the mattress, but hybrids typically last 7 to 10 years, with some lasting even longer.
Does the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe come in multiple firmness options?
Yes, it is available in three firmness options: Soft, Medium, and Firm.
Does the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe work with an adjustable bed frame?
It does work on an adjustable frame, and Brooklyn Bedding says it is compatible with most frames, but it wasn’t one of the better mattresses we’ve tried on an adjustable base, scoring just 3/5.
What is the trial period and warranty for the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe?
The Aurora Luxe includes a 120-night trial and a limited lifetime warranty.
