Construction
At 13.25 inches high, the premium Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress features contouring and temperature control layers, as well as a coil core and high density foam base. Upgrading to the Cloud Pillow Top adds an additional 2 inches to the height. The following sections describe its construction in detail, including the advanced cooling materials and zoned coils for targeted lumbar support. The mattress comes in your choice of soft, medium, or firm for custom comfort. It is designed to support as much as 950 pounds.
Arizona Factory
Assembly of the Aurora Luxe Mattress occurs in Brooklyn Bedding’s Arizona factory, per its website, and it contains both domestic and foreign parts. For those wanting more construction details, this information is important.
GlacioTex™ Top Layer
The top layer of the standard Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress is a GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover. The cool-to-the-touch fabric contains special fibers that remove excess heat from the body. That encourages a cooler, comfier sleep.
Cloud Pillow Top Add-On
If you like, you can add the ultra-soft, cooling Cloud Pillow Top to your Aurora Luxe order. That adds a pillow top to the GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover. Talk about comfort: this extra contouring layer provides even more pressure point relief. The dual foam layers and cooling fibers will leave you feeling like you’re sleeping on a cloud. This add-on pillow-top is expertly sewn to provide many nights of dreamy comfort, contour, and temperature control.
ThermoPhase Foam Layer
The upgraded mattress option (Aurora Luxe with Cloud Pillow Top) has a 0.75-inch layer of ThermoPhase Foam. It helps regulate temperature by absorbing and releasing heat. A more comfortable body temperature could help you sleep better, especially if you often overheat at night.
Quilt Foam
Brooklyn Bedding’s Aurora Luxe comes standard with a pressure-relieving quilt foam layer below its cover. This layer is important for mattress breathability, wicking moisture from the body while resisting body impressions for the best look and feel. The upgraded Aurora Luxe with Cloud Pillow Top has dual quilt foam layers (each 0.75 inches thick) for added airflow and even more comfort.
Responsive Foam
Next, for the standard version of the Aurora Luxe, is a 1-inch layer of dense 3.5-pound VX Copper Responsive Foam. It quickly responds to changes in your sleep position. The foam is infused with copper particles, which adds antibacterial properties and helps draw heat away from the body.
The upgraded Aurora Luxe with Cloud Pillow Top instead has a 1-inch VX 2.5-pound Responsive Foam layer. It contours and cushions the body, with cooling from its gel-infused foam layer beneath.
High-Density Memory Foam or Gel Swirl Foam
The Aurora Luxe has a 1-inch layer of 3-pound high-density (HD) memory foam. HD foam is known to contour the body for comfort and to provide better pressure relief than a less-dense alternative. It is also less prone to sagging and typically lasts longer than low-density foams.
The upgraded Aurora Luxe with Cloud Pillow Top does not have that layer; instead, it has a 1-inch Gel Swirl Memory Foam layer. The gel beads infused in the foam liquify at higher temperatures for relief and to help maintain a comfortable sleep environment. The premium layer may help sleepers who wake up in sweat avoid this discomfort.
Variflex Transition Foam
Next is a 1-inch layer of Variflex transition foam. This layer contours the body and offers balanced support.
8-Inch Ascension Zoned Coils
The Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress core provides pressure relief and motion isolation, thanks to up to 1,032 steel Ascension Coils. The 8-inch core contains individually encased coils in a 3-zone design that provide lumbar support, reinforced edges, and low motion transfer. For couples, the motion isolation feature means that you won’t likely disturb your partner when you move or get out of bed.
Supportive Foam Base
All of these features work best with a sturdy layer of support. That’s why Aurora Luxe includes a 0.75-inch layer of supportive base foam. This layer adds a durable base that supports the compressed coils.

Three Firmness Options
The Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress is available in three firmness levels. While Brooklyn Bedding does not give exact numbers for firmness on its website, we estimate the numbers below based on buyer reviews and feedback we read online. On the industry’s mattress firmness scale (1-10), 1 is the softest, and 10 is the firmest. The following numbers help give you an idea of what Aurora Luxe in soft, medium, and firm may feel like, though firmness can vary slightly from person to person:
- Soft — provides pressure point relief and gentle contouring support that “hugs” the shape of your body. The soft version has a 2-to-4 rating on a firmness scale of 1 to 10 and is a good choice generally for side sleepers.
- Medium — with a 4-to-6 firmness rating, the medium version strikes a balance between contouring and support. It provides contouring without the “hugging” effect and typically works well for combination sleepers (rotate between back, stomach and side sleeping).
- Firm — the smooth, flat surface supports the lower back and prevents sinking into the mattress. With a 7-to-8 firmness rating, the firm version is often a good choice for back or stomach sleepers.

You can choose from a wide range of sizes to find the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe that’s a good fit for your home:

- Twin XL – 38 x 80 inches

You can use the Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress with most types of foundations, as long as the foundation has little or no flex. Compatible foundations include
- Platform
- Slatted (Slats no more than 4 inches apart)
Mattress in a Box
Your Aurora Luxe mattress is shipped in a box directly to your door. Many people find it easier to move the box containing the compressed mattress to the bedroom than one that arrives full-sized. Simply take the mattress out of the packaging and let it decompress for 3 to 5 hours before using it, per Brooklyn Bedding’s site. Make sure the room is well ventilated so that the mattress can also air out. Full decompression and odor dissipation take up to 24 hours, but you can use the mattress after a few hours, per the brand site.
Safety Certifications
Brooklyn Bedding’s Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress has two highly regarded safety certifications. The GREENGUARD Gold certification and CertiPUR-US® certified foams follow rigorous testing to ensure the mattress is made without harmful chemicals like specific flame retardants, mercury, lead, and formaldehyde. They also indicate a very low impact on air quality indoors, which often matters to sleepers with sensitivities and homes with kids, seniors, or pets.
120-Night Trial
Starting on the day you receive your mattress, you have a 120-night trial period to decide if you want to keep it. The company requires that you wait at least 30 days before returning it. You can return the mattress anytime within 30 to 120 days after you receive it, minus a small return fee.
Lifetime Warranty
The Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress comes with a generous Limited Lifetime Warranty, which takes effect on the purchase date for the original purchaser only, who is defined in the policy. Coverage, exclusions, and responsibilities are outlined in the manufacturer’s policy to help you understand what to expect.

Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress Review: Pros and Any Limitations
After our research, we believe that the Aurora Luxe mattress has several advantages. We have also included areas where there is room for improvement.
Temperature Control and Superior Cooling
Waking up sweaty or feeling too warm can make it difficult to get back to sleep. You can sleep comfortably cool on the Aurora Luxe. The top layer of the mattress features cool-to-the-touch GlacioTex™ fabric, and the optional upgrade includes ThermoPhase Foam. The latter is a Phase Change Material that absorbs and releases heat, helping to maintain a steady temperature.
Plus, Copper Responsive Foam helps improve mattress cooling. Finally, the hybrid construction with open cell technology (both in the foams and coils) prevents heat retention and encourages better mattress airflow and breathability.
Excellent Motion Isolation
Do you or your partner toss and turn or get out of bed during the night? The Aurora Luxe’s core contains individually encased coils that isolate motion. That means that you can get in and out of bed in the middle of the night without disturbing your partner. Motion isolation can be a big help when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep. Plus, the mattress has reinforced edges that make getting on and off the mattress easier, as well as providing more usable surface space for the two of you.
Targeted Lumbar Support and Contouring
Depending on the firmness level, the Aurora Luxe provides the contouring and support that your body needs. The firm version keeps your spine in a neutral position and prevents your body from sinking into the mattress. The soft version creates a “hugging” effect and gentle support. If you and your partner have different sleep preferences, the medium version can provide a balance.
The three-zone coil design offers extra support in the lower back area. That may reduce morning stiffness for some sleepers and increase comfort for improved sleep quality. Plus, multiple foam layers combine for premium comfort and pressure relief, which can ease tension in sensitive areas of the body and encourage proper spinal alignment.
Convenient Mattress in a Box
With the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora, you don’t have the hassle of making an appointment for delivery or missing work on delivery day. Your mattress will be shipped free in a box within the contiguous US and delivered to your door while you’re at work or running errands. You won’t have to rearrange your day to meet a furniture delivery team.
120-Night Trial
Choosing a mattress is much easier when you know you have 120 nights to try it out. It can take weeks to get used to a new mattress, especially when two people are sharing it. If you decide after 30 days from the delivery date that the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe isn’t right for you, let the company know. You can return the mattress within 30 to 120 days after you receive it, minus a small return fee.
Decompression and Aeration
You won’t be able to use your mattress immediately after it arrives in a box. After you take it out of the box and remove the plastic wrapping, the mattress will have to decompress and aerate for at least 3 to 5 hours in a well-ventilated room. You can sleep on the mattress after a few hours, but it can take 24 hours for the mattress to be fully decompressed and odor-free, per Brooklyn Bedding’s site.
High Durability
The high-density foam layers, premium steel coils, and strong base layer combine for excellent durability. That often makes for a longer-lasting mattress, adding value to it as you are more likely to have it for a lengthy time.
Final Thoughts on Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress
Available in soft, medium or firm versions, the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress offers support and contouring for a comfortable sleep. Depending on you or your partner’s sleep preferences, you can have a smooth, flat sleep surface or gentle contouring. Cooling technologies combine to keep the mattress cool on contact, with the Pillow Top upgrade offering additional cooling and coziness.
You can choose from a variety of mattress sizes to suit your needs, each with three-zoned lumbar support. That extra support appeals to sleepers who seek extra reinforcement through the lower back and better spinal alignment.
Convenience is another feature of this mattress, which is shipped in a box directly to your door. On delivery day, your boxed mattress will be waiting on your doorstep when you get home from work. All you have to do is carry the box in the door and to your bedroom.
You can use the Aurora Luxe a few hours after you remove it from the box, but it requires as much as 24 hours to fully decompress and aerate. When you remove it from the box and plastic wrap, make sure the bedroom is well ventilated so that the odor will dissipate.
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress is backed by a 120-night sleep trial and a generous Limited Lifetime Warranty. If you decide after 30 days that you don’t want to keep it, you can return the mattress within 120 days after you received it.
According to our research and review, it is our opinion that the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress is a quality product of value for many sleepers who overheat and seek a well-constructed hybrid with dedicated lumbar support. It suits a range of sleep styles, given the different firmness options.
