Construction
At 12.25 inches high, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress is constructed to let you choose your firmness level (soft, medium, or firm). The optional upgrade adds height; the Cooling Cloud Pillow Top upgrade adds an additional 2 inches. The 7 layers work together to provide support, comfort, and cooling technology. Read on to learn details about the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress construction.
Premium Cooling Cover or Pillow Top Upgrade
The premium GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover comes standard with the mattress. GlacioTex™ is advanced cooling tech, featuring special fibers that remove extra heat from the sleep surface. Upgrading to the optional Cooling Cloud Pillow Top adds a dual layer of pillow-top foam to the GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover for extra contouring and pressure point relief.
Comfort Foams
Both the standard Signature Hybrid and Signature Hybrid with Cloud Pillow Top have two layers of quilt foam, each 0.75 inches thick. The breathable foam is moisture-wicking and resists body impressions to improve the look and feel.
Upgrade for ThermoPhase Foam Layer
The Cloud Pillow Top upgrade adds a 0.75-inch ThermoPhase foam layer. The temperature-regulating Phase Change Material absorbs and releases heat. This layer is not in the standard Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress.
Gel Swirl Memory Foam
The Gel Swirl Memory Foam layer will help keep you cool and comfortable. This layer is 1 inch thick, whether you choose the soft, medium, or firm Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid or upgrade to the Cooling Cloud Pillow Top. The foam combines cooling tech with foam that conforms to your body and helps relieve pressure when you move. Infused with gel, this layer draws heat away from your body to help you rest cool and comfortably.
VX Responsive Foam
A one-inch layer of 2.5-pound VX Responsive Foam is below the memory foam layer. The high-density foam is designed to respond to your movements quickly to make changing positions or getting up in the morning easier.
Variflex Transition Foam
For compression support, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress has a layer of 1-inch Variflex transition foam. The high-quality response foam provides a transition between the foams above and the coil layer below, providing more balanced support to the body. This layer is also in the pillow top upgrade version of the mattress.

Ascension Individually Encased X Coils
The core of this hybrid mattress contains up to 760 individually encased steel Ascension X Coils. With excellent reactivity, the 8-inch coil layer cradles your body and helps keep your spine in proper alignment. It also provides motion isolation in all firmness options and edge support.
Supportive Base Foam
Another source of edge support is the 0.75-inch supportive foam base. It provides durability and strengthens the mattress. The steady support that the base offers helps the Brooklyn Bedding Signature. This strong base layer helps the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress provide steady support.
Firmness
When you buy the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress, you can choose the firmness level that is right for you. Often, mattresses are rated according to an industry-wide firmness scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being softest and 10 being firmest. While Brooklyn Bedding does not provide the exact firmness rating on its website, and each person experiences firmness slightly differently, we estimate the following, based on buyer reviews and feedback our team gathered online:
- Soft version — 4
- Medium version — 6
- Firm version — 8
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature’s foam layers have varying thicknesses to support each firmness level.

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress is available in a wide range of sizes, including:
- Twin – 38 x 74 inches
- Twin XL – 38 x 80 inches

There are choices for almost any bedroom size and for solo sleepers or couples.

The listed mattress measurements can vary within 1 inch due to the natural fabrics, per Brooklyn Bedding’s site. The mattress is designed to support up to 950 pounds.
Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid: Benefits and Any Drawbacks
We have researched and reviewed the features of the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid. In our opinion, it has the following benefits and minor limitations.
Customizable Firmness and Optional Upgrade
Whether you prefer a soft, medium or firm sleep surface, you can enjoy the comfort, pressure point relief, and support of the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid. Multiple foam layers of the mattress come standard, with an upgrade option for a Pillow Top and ThermoPhase Foam to add even more cooling and coziness. No matter which firmness level you choose or if you upgrade, you’ll have the breathable quilted foams for temperature control and the comfort and transition foam layers for contouring and support.
Speaking of support, there’s a firmness level to suit your sleep needs and various sleep positions:
- Soft — great for many side sleepers who need pressure relief or prefer to feel “hugged” by the comfort layer.
- Medium — provides support and contouring for combination sleepers (regularly switch between side, back and stomach sleeping), without the hugging sensation. Good choice for couples who must balance sleep preferences.
- Firm — provides plenty of support, especially if you sleep on your back or stomach. Gives you a smooth, flat surface with lower back support.
Cooling Comfort Layer and Cover
Unlike some traditional foam, the Gel Swirl Memory Foam layer is less likely to leave you feeling overheated. The cooling technology combined with responsive contouring could lead to a more comfortable sleep. Also, the GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover and optional Cooling Cloud Pillow Top upgrade add a cool-to-the-touch surface. These advanced cooling features may help those who regularly overheat sleep better, rather than waking up in sweat.
Motion Isolation
For couples, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid provides motion isolation to help you both sleep through the night. Thanks to the individually encased coils and VX Responsive Foam layers, your partner won’t likely be disturbed if you get out of bed in the middle of the night. If one of you tends to keep changing sleep positions during the night, the other partner can still get a good night’s sleep.
Edge Support and Durability
A new mattress with ample support is great, but what happens after you’ve been using it for a while? The steel coils offer excellent edge support for the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid, especially with the transition layer, for a stable and durable base. That can make for long-lasting edge support. Great edge support also makes it easier to get out of bed in the morning without sliding off the edge!
Assembly
The Signature Hybrid Mattress is assembled in Brooklyn Bedding’s Arizona factory, using both foreign and domestic components, per its site. For those who care about manufacturing location and sourcing, these details can be important.
Works With Most Foundations
Are you wondering what type of base you need or if your new mattress will work with the foundation you already have? The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress works with a variety of bases to fit your preferences and décor. Provided that the solid base has little to no flex, the mattress is suitable for many foundations, including:
- Solid wood or metal platform
- Solid wood or metal box
- Slatted wood or metal foundation (no more than 4 inches between slats)
If you are unsure whether your existing foundation is compatible with the Signature Hybrid Mattress, it’s generally best to contact the foundation’s manufacturer directly to confirm.
Mattress in a Box Delivered to Your Door
Shopping for the best hybrid mattress should be as convenient as possible. When you order your Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid, you don’t have to transport it home or wait around for the delivery team. The mattress is shipped directly to your door, so it will be waiting for you when you get home from work.
A mattress in a box can be quite heavy, so using a dolly or having some help when carrying the box from the door to the bedroom generally makes sense.
Respected Certifications, High Value
This mattress is both GREENGUARD Gold Certified and made with CertiPUR-US® certified foams. That means they do not contain harmful chemicals such as ozone depleters, certain flame retardants, heavy metals, and formaldehyde. They also have a low impact on indoor air quality.
These highly respected certifications, along with multiple foam layers and an included warranty, add significant value to the mattress. It offers strong performance, based on buyer reviews that include the phrases “superior sleep experience” and “plush, thick, and very comfortable.” While we cannot guarantee those same experiences, reading positive reviews from those who have used the mattress provides some people with greater peace of mind.
Decompression and that New-Mattress Smell
One minor inconvenience is that you’ll have to wait at least a few hours after unboxing before you can use your new Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid. The mattress is compressed and rolled to fit in the box, so it takes a few hours to decompress after unboxing. There may also be a slight unpleasant odor at first. Just let the mattress decompress and air out in a well-ventilated room, typically dissipating within 24 hours, per Brooklyn Bedding’s site.
120-Night Comfort Trial
When you’re deciding on a major purchase, it helps to be able to “sleep on it” for a while. You can do exactly that when you buy the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress, which comes with a 120-night sleep trial. It can take at least a month to get used to sleeping on a brand-new mattress. Beginning on the delivery date, you have about 4 months to try it out. If you decide that you don’t want to keep the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress, you can return it for a refund, minus a small return fee, after day 30 and before day 120 (after delivery). For the most updated return policy, we strongly advise to check the Brooklyn Bedding return policy.
Lifetime Warranty
Knowing that a company backs their product can give you peace of mind about your purchase. The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress comes with a long Limited Lifetime Warranty. It covers manufacturer defects as explained in the policy, including what is covered and any exclusions.
Make sure you check the latest warranty details, since the terms are subject to change.
Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress: Concluding Thoughts
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid offers a combination of comfort and customizable support. Its layers include variable foam layers to create soft, medium and firm mattresses. The standard model has an advanced GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover, and a Cloud Pillow Top is an affordable upgrade option for extra pressure relief and comfort. The upgrade also adds a temperature-regulating ThermoPhase Foam layer. The Gel Swirl memory foam is infused with a cooling gel to prevent the foam from overheating. The individually wrapped coils provide support, motion isolation and durability. With the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid, you can enjoy the right balance of contouring, support and temperature control for a more restful sleep.
Your Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is shipped in a box directly to your door. You can conveniently go about your day, and your mattress will be waiting for you when you get home. A minor inconvenience is the several-hour wait while the mattress decompresses and airs out, although the mattress certifications likely outweigh this minor drawback for many people.
The 120-night comfort trial and Limited Lifetime Warranty take some of the pressure off shopping for the best hybrid mattress. It helps to know that a company is willing to back their product in this way.
After our research and review, we believe that the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is a quality product that offers value and high-quality cooling features for various sleep styles.
