I’ll go into detail about my personal experience on the Titan Plus mattress. As a heavier person myself, I wanted to see if this mattress would offer enough comfort and support.

»

In recent years, many online mattress companies have released mattresses designed specifically with larger people in mind. Most of these mattresses contain very supportive coils, high-density foams and other features meant to handle heavier weights. Brooklyn Bedding, one of the most popular bed-in-a-box brands, has gotten into the game with its Titan Plus mattress. The Titan Plus is designed specifically for large people and comes in two versions: the Titan Plus and the Titan Plus Luxe.

Is this a quality mattress for heavy people? To find out, I personally tested it and assessed its firmness, feel, construction and more. I’m a heavier person myself, so I was eager to learn whether it would support my 6’7″ frame.

Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus Mattress Overview

As I noted above, Brooklyn Bedding is a very popular online mattress brand. It’s earned a reputation for making quality mattresses at value prices thanks to the fact that the brand owns its own factory in the USA. This allows them to cut out a lot of middlemen and pass on savings to customers. The company also offers many other mattress models including the Brooklyn Bedding Signature, Brooklyn Bedding Essential and Plank mattress.

The Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus is designed specifically for heavyweight sleepers and is meant to offer plenty of support and durability. It is a hybrid bed that layers quality foams over heavy-duty coils, and it’s priced lower than many other beds made for larger people. Could this be the supportive mattress for you? Here’s a quick look at who might love the Titan Plus and who might need to keep looking.

Pros of the Titan Plus Mattress

• It offers plenty of support for people who weigh between 230 and 500 pounds.
• It’s a great firm mattress, which makes it a nice match for stomach sleepers.
• It’s made with high-quality and durable materials, so it shouldn’t sag as the years go on.
• Compared to some of the other mattresses for heavy people, it’s sold at a value price.

Cons of the Titan Plus Mattress

• Heavyweight side sleepers may not get enough pressure relief along shoulders and hips. If you fall in this category, you may want to consider getting the softer Titan Plus Luxe mattress.
• People who weigh less than 230 lb may think this mattress is too firm.
• It lacks a slow-moving feel. If this is what you’re looking for, take a look at our list of the best memory foam mattresses.

Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus Firmness And Feel

Firmness and feel are important factors to consider when you’re mattress shopping because they tell you a lot about whether a bed might suit your sleep position(s) and other sleep preferences. So let’s dive into the firmness and feel of the Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus.

How Firm Is The Titan Plus?

Firmness is always a bit subjective, and that’s especially true for beds that are designed with heavier people in mind. I ranked this mattress a 9/10 on our firmness scale, which is extremely firm. For reference, the industry standard for average firmness is 6.5/10. That said, folks who weigh somewhere between 300 and 500 lb could find that the mattress feels a bit softer. They’re more likely to press into the foam layers of the mattress and feel more pressure relief.

It’s also worth noting that I’m reviewing the Plus model here. If you want something softer, consider the Titan Plus Luxe mattress.

Sleeping On The Titan Plus

The Titan Plus felt very supportive whenever I rested on my back. In fact, some sleepers might find that this mattress feels too supportive in this position. Because it’s very firm, my hips didn’t sink in much at all. That said, I did experience plenty of spinal support.

In my experience, the Titan Plus is not a good match for side sleeping. Because it’s quite firm, I felt a lot of pressure around my shoulder and hip.

I found this mattress to be a great match for stomach sleeping. I felt plenty of support under my hips and across my entire body. Stomach sleepers of pretty much any size could feel at home on the Titan.

What Does The Titan Plus Feel Like?

The Titan Plus has an innerspring feel with just a bit of that soft memory foam feel on top. The memory foam on top means this isn’t a bouncy mattress. At the same time, the coils in the support layer ensure that sleepers don’t feel stuck.

Sleeper Weight	Back Sleepers	Side Sleepers	Stomach Sleepers
Lightweight (Under 130 lb)	Bad	Bad	Fair
Average (130 – 230 lb)	Fair	Bad	Good
Heavyweight (Over 230 lb)	Good	Fair	Excellent

Is the Titan Plus Mattress Good For Lightweight People (Under 130 lb)?

• Lightweight back sleepers will likely think this mattress is too firm. Because it was made with heavier people in mind, it’s not a good match for those who weigh less than 230 lb.
• Side sleepers in this category will feel significant pressure along their shoulders and hips.
• It could be a decent choice for lightweight stomach sleepers, but many people may find this mattress still feels too firm. Take a look at our list of the best mattresses for lightweight people for some more options.

Is the Titan Plus Mattress Good For Average Weight People (130 – 230 lb)?

• Back sleepers who weigh closer to 230 lb could feel supported and comfortable on the Titan Plus, but I wouldn’t recommend it for smaller people.
• Average weight side sleepers won’t get enough pressure relief on the Titan Plus mattress. People in this category would most likely need a mattress topper in order to get the body contouring they need.
• This mattress works well for average weight stomach sleepers. It offers plenty of hip support, which helps keep the spine in a neutral alignment.

Is the Titan Plus Mattress Good For Heavyweight People (Over 230 lb)?

• It’s a good match for heavyweight back sleepers, thanks to its firm support and memory foam comfort layer.
• Heavyweight side sleepers will not feel comfortable on this mattress and should consider the Titan Plus Luxe instead.
• It’s a great choice for heavyweight stomach sleepers. Because this mattress feels particularly firm, it helps promote the proper spinal alignment–this helps stomach sleepers avoid lower back pain.

Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus Mattress Construction

Now that you know what it’s like to sleep on top of the Titan Plus, let’s take a peek under its cover. I’ll reveal each layer of this bed’s construction and share how different materials affect feel and performance.

Cover

The Titan Plus features a polyester cover that’s quilted with 1” of gel memory foam. The gel infusion helps with cooling, while the high-density memory foam adds a touch of comfort right off the bat without risk of sagging. You can also choose to add an optional GlacioTex cooling cover, which makes the mattress feel cool to the touch.

Comfort Layer

The primary comfort layer on the Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus is made from 2” of patented TitanFlex foam, which offers a bit of responsive contouring and pressure relief.

Support Layers

The Titan Plus’s support layer is made from 8” of TitanCore coils, industrial coils that should make this a long-lasting mattress that won’t sag. Underneath the coils, there’s a base made from .25” of high-density foam, which adds overall structure and support.

Mattress Height

The Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus is 11” tall.

Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus Mattress Performance

Before you make up your mind about the Titan Plus, keep reading. There are still some critical factors to consider, and I’ve done all the legwork for you. I put this mattress through a barrage of tests with regard to temperature regulation, motion transfer, edge support and more. Let’s see how it performed:

Sleeping Hot Or Cold

The Titan Plus does a decent job of staying cool thanks to the gel infusion in its cover and the coils, which allow for plenty of airflow throughout the mattress. If you’re still worried about sleeping hot, you can purchase the optional cooling cover. This will make it a great mattress for hot sleepers. If you are a hot sleeper, you can also consider Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress and Brooklyn Bedding Sedona Elite mattress.

Motion Transfer

Even though this is a firm bed, it does a great job of minimizing motion transfer. The foam in the top layers absorbs movement and helps limit disturbances across the surface of the bed. This could be a decent mattress for couples (particularly when both partners are larger).

Edge Support

This is a very supportive mattress overall, and that holds true for its edges. I felt very secure while sitting and lying down near the edges of the Titan Plus. This bed features solid edge support.

Durability

The Titan Plus is made with high-density foams and industrial coils that are designed to support heavier weights over the long haul. This should be a great long-term investment. I expect it to last at least a decade.

Off-Gassing

The foams in the Titan Plus are CertiPUR-US certified, which means they’re more eco-friendly than conventional foams and are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This also means there shouldn’t be much unpleasant off-gassing from this mattress. While you might notice a natural scent immediately after un-boxing this bed, it should dissipate within 24 to 48 hours.

Noise

At the time of our review, I didn’t hear any notable noise from this mattress. That said, because this bed incorporates coils, it’s possible they might start to squeak a bit over time.

Sex

When people seek out a mattress for sex, they’re usually concerned about whether it will be easy to change positions. The Titan Plus could be a decent option because the responsiveness of the coils means that partners shouldn’t feel stuck in this bed.

Company Policies

If you purchase the Titan Plus, you can expect to encounter the following policies.

Warranty Info

The Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus comes with a 10-year warranty.

Sleep Trial

As with other Brooklyn Bedding mattresses, the Titan Plus comes with a 120-night sleep trial.

Return Policy

The Titan Plus comes with free shipping and returns. If the Titan Plus mattress is not the right fit, Brooklyn Bedding could send you a topper to change the firmness. The company might also exchange the Titan Plus for another Brooklyn Bedding model. If none of this works, they can also offer you a full refund.

Common Titan Plus Mattress Complaints

One of the most common complaints about the Titan Plus is that it’s not very plush or pressure-relieving. That said, the mattress doesn’t make any promises that it will be those things. This is a firm, extra-supportive mattress through and through. If you need more pressure relief, opt for the Titan Plus Luxe mattress.

Read Big Fig Mattress Review

Both the Titan Plus and the Big Fig layer high-density foams over extra-supportive coils, and they’re both made for heavier people. Their constructions are pretty similar, but it’s worth noting that the Titan Plus includes some memory foam while the Big Fig uses latex foam.

I ranked the Titan Plus around 9/10 on the firmness scale, or significantly firmer than average. The Big Fig is also firmer than average, but I ranked it a touch softer than the Titan Plus at 8/10.

Not surprisingly, these beds feel similar. They’re both responsive hybrid beds, though the Big Fig is a bit bouncier than the Titan Plus.

Despite their similarities, these beds differ dramatically in terms of price. A queen-size Titan Plus starts at $1249.00 , while the same size Big Fig is much pricier at a starting price of $1899.00 .

Who Should Get the Titan Plus?	Who Should Get the Big Fig?
Heavyweight sleepers who prefer extra-firm mattresses	Heavier back sleepers
Heavyweight stomach sleepers	People with a luxury budget

Read WinkBed Plus Mattress Review

The Titan Plus and the WinkBed Plus are both hybrid mattress designed for heavyweight sleepers. But they feature much different constructions. The Titan Plus layers a touch of memory foam over higher-density foam and supportive coils. The WinkBeds Plus features a more complex construction that includes high-density foam, a seven-zoned latex support layer, individually wrapped coils and a special edge support system. Both mattresses feature CertiPUR-US certified foams.

These beds also differ quite a bit in terms of firmness. I ranked the Titan Plus around 9/10, or extremely firm. I ranked the WinkBeds Plus at just firmer than average at around 7.5/10.

Both of these mattresses have an innerspring feel, though the WinkBed Plus seems bouncier and a touch more responsive than the Titan Plus.

Another big difference between these beds? Price. The Titan Plus starts at $1249.00 for a queen, while the WinkBeds Plus is much more expensive at a starting price of $1999.00 for the same size.

Who Should Get the Titan Plus?	Who Should Get the Big Fig?
Heavyweight sleepers who prefer extra-firm mattresses	Heavier back sleepers
Heavyweight stomach sleepers	People with the budget for a luxury mattress
	Hot sleepers who are really concerned about sleeping cool

The Takeaway

The Titan Plus mattress is a firm bed that works well for heavyweight back and stomach sleepers. It could cause joint pain for heavyweight side sleepers, so if you fall in this category, you may want to get the softer Titan Plus Luxe instead. This mattress works well for couples because it isolates motion well and has great edge support.
