Who We Recommend The Titan Plus For:
- Plus-sized sleepers – This mattress is manufactured for individuals with larger frames by incorporating a balance of enhanced support and pressure relief. It also uses durable materials like TitanCaliber™ coils so heavyweight sleepers shouldn’t have to worry about excess wear impacting its quality.
- Hybrid fans – Hybrid beds fuse the best of foam and innerspring beds into one convenient product. The Titan Plus combines the contouring pressure relief of foam with the motion isolation and support of coils.
- Hot sleepers – For those who tend to sleep hot, a bed with cooling capabilities is a must-have. The coils in the middle of the bed should help promote airflow, while the gel in the quilted memory foam at the top carries heat away from the surface to help you stay cool while you sleep.
Who We Don’t Recommend The Titan Plus For:
- Lightweight sleepers – Lightweight sleepers may find this mattress too firm as it’s made specifically for heavier people. Those who weigh under 130 may not be able to activate the upper layers and get the desired pressure relief most great mattresses for petite sleepers have.
- Some side sleepers – Some side sleepers, especially those who weigh 150 pounds or less, may find that the mattress doesn’t offer enough cushioning to relieve pressure in their shoulders and hips. As a result, side sleepers may want a softer bed.
- Those who prefer a cradling feel – If you’re the kind of sleeper who loves to feel cradled by your mattress, the Titan Plus may not be the bed for you. Unlike traditional memory foam mattresses that hug your body, the Titan Plus gives sleepers the sensation of sleeping ‘on’ the bed rather than ‘in’ it.
First Impressions: Firmness & Feel
Firmness Scale: 7.5/10
Please remember that firmness is a subjective characteristic and your shape will dictate how you experience a bed. A heavier person whose weight can more easily push through softer comfort and support layers may experience a bed as softer than a lightweight person. The way you are shaped could also play a role here. Consider your weight, shape, and size when evaluating firmness scores.
Mattress firmness is one of the first things people notice when buying a bed. For this reason, we rate mattresses on a firmness scale of one to ten, with one being the softest and ten being the firmest. Since the Brooklyn Bedding Titan Plus is made specifically for heavier people, it’s no surprise we gave it a 7.5 out of 10 on our scale.
This means the mattress should have a distinctly firm feel, making it a good fit for most average-weight and heavy people who rest on their stomach and back. While some side sleepers may prefer a softer mattress for a deeper sinking sensation, heavier side sleepers should find the pressure relief they need in this mattress thanks to the upper foam layers.
How Does It Feel?
As you lie down on the bed, the surface layers should conform to your curves as the coils beneath deliver generous support to your heaviest parts. The overall experience for larger individuals should be supportive yet cushioning.
The TitanFlex™ foam, combined with the individually-wrapped coils below, reacts quickly to changes in pressure, so adjusting positions should be effortless. In addition, the cover feels soft and well-made, with stitching that should last many years. However, it isn’t stretchy.
What We Like About the Titan Plus
- The support system – The Titan Plus mattress has up to 961 TitanCaliber™ coils that hold your body in healthy alignment. The coils ensure maximum support by helping you maintain a comfortable position without letting you fall through the mattress.
- The firmness – The slightly firm feel should fit most people who weigh over 200 pounds. Although some may experience it as softer or firmer, depending on their particular weight, its firmness should be a good match for stomach and back sleepers, as well as some side sleepers.
- Its weight limit – This mattress is made specifically for heavier people, which means it can handle up to 1,000 pounds. This is especially useful for heavier couples.
Our Titan Plus Complaints
- It may be too firm for lightweight sleepers – This brand was designed to provide a firmer feel and amplified support for heavier individuals. Folks who weigh less – especially those who sleep exclusively on their side – will likely prefer a bed that has a more plush feel to better accommodate their pressure points.
- It won’t have a traditional innerspring feel – While the Titan Plus does use coils, it’s important to note that this bed is still a hybrid with foam materials, so it won’t necessarily have the same feel as a traditional innerspring bed. That being said, the pressure-relieving benefits of contouring foams still make this an exceptional product.
Testing the Titan Plus Mattress: How it Performed
The Titan Plus is an impressive mattress with multiple foam layers that sit on top of a sturdy coil unit with TitanCaliber™ coils. To determine which positions this construction best suits, we tested this bed on our sides, backs, and stomachs. While its slightly firm feel should fit most sleepers, some may still find it too firm to deliver adequate pressure relief.
We also tested this mattress for edge support, motion isolation, cooling, and overall performance.
Sleeping Positions for Different Body Types
The Titan Plus mattress can support up to 1,000 pounds, making it a good option for heavy people, including those who share a bed. People who weigh over 230 pounds should find sufficient support in the foam and coil layers, even if they co-sleep with a heavier person.
| Weight | Side Sleepers | Back Sleepers | Stomach Sleepers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lightweight Sleepers (-130 lbs) | ★☆☆ | ★☆☆ | ★★☆ |
| Average-Weight Sleepers (130-230 lbs) | ★★☆ | ★★★ | ★★☆ |
| Heavyweight Sleepers (+230 lbs) | ★★★ | ★★★ | ★★☆ |
Side Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight side sleepers may want a softer mattress because the Titan Plus has a firmer feel that will likely feel too stiff for them. Those who weigh under 130 pounds may not get enough contouring or pressure relief.
- Average Weight Sleepers – Average-weight side sleepers, especially those closer to 230 pounds, may like the gentle contouring that comes from the quilted memory foam. However, those closer to 130 pounds may want a softer bed.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavy side sleepers should sink just enough to relieve pressure in the shoulder and hip areas. They’re likely to find the mattress comfortable as the TitanCaliber™ coils also ensures proper sleeping posture.
Back Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight back sleepers need more support, but they also need a bit of cushioning to prevent pressure build-up in the lower back area. Unfortunately, the Titan Plus mattress may be too firm for this group.
- Average Weight Sleepers – Average-weight back sleepers should find a balance of pressure relief and support. The foam layers allow just enough cushioning, but they still prevent you from bottoming out to the coils.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavy back sleepers may sink a bit more, but that’s fine because they often need more pressure relief. The TitanCaliber™ coils also promote healthy spine alignment.
Stomach Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – Stomach sleepers weighing under 130 pounds should like how the mattress holds their hips and prevents them from sinking too deeply. Still, some may prefer a slightly softer bed that cushions their chest and shoulders more.
- Average Weight Sleepers – Most average-weight stomach sleepers should find the Titan Plus comfortable in this position. The mattress’s firmer feel makes sure the hips don’t sink too deeply, so your spine should remain aligned.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – This mattress’s firmer feel and reinforced support system is a good match for heavyweight stomach sleepers. The hips should be supported and raised for healthy spine alignment, while the foam layers cushion the chest and shoulders.
Pressure Relief & Pain
The Titan Plus has not one but two comfort layers designed to provide pressure relief. A 1-inch gel memory foam is quilted to the bed’s cover, which helps the bed conform to your body. Below this is 2 inches of the company’s patented TitanFlex™ foam. This highly responsive foam was developed with pressure relief in mind.
Back Pain – People with back pain should like the firm feel of the Titan Plus. The mattress has two comfort layers combined with a supportive coil system that helps keep the body aligned and wards off pressure on the lower back.
Hip Pain – Sleeping on the side may make hip pain worse, but even more so with the Titan Plus since the mattres’s firm feel might not give you the cushioning you need in this position. You should find back sleeping more comfortable if you struggle with hip pain.
Shoulder Pain – People with shoulder pain should also try sleeping on their back to get the pressure off their shoulders. The Titan Plus mattress should contour the shoulders in this position while the coils support your body evenly.
Support
Part of what constitutes a high-quality mattress is the inclusion of supportive materials to help you achieve good spinal alignment while you rest. This is critical for avoiding or worsening pain in areas like the back and neck.
Plus-size sleepers have unique needs and, therefore, need a highly supportive bed to accommodate them. The Titan Plus caters to heavier sleepers with its durable innerspring unit that consists of 961 coils. This system is made to provide industrial support. The company has also placed an additional layer of high-density foam below those coils to complement the springs and add overall durability to the bed.
Motion Transfer
The individually-pocketed coils of the Titan Plus do a good job of isolating most movement. This should be enough to keep most sleepers resting peacefully regardless of movements in other parts of the bed, especially compared to traditional innerspring models. On top of that, the mattress’s two foam comfort layers do an equally good job of absorbing some of that motion before it even reaches the coils. This level of motion isolation should be particularly good for combo sleepers, couples, and anyone else who shares their bed with kids or pets.
Temperature Regulation / Cooling
Coils tend to increase a bed’s breathability by promoting more airflow through the mattress. However, the Titan Plus also uses gel in its top memory foam layer to keep you sweat-free. For an additional 112 dollars, you can add a phase-change GlacioTex™ cooling cover to this mattress. For those who want a highly cooling mattress, this may be a worthwhile investment.
Performance for Couples
Couples should prioritize factors like motion isolation, edge support, and bounce, all of which you can find in the Titan Plus mattress. This bed has foam layers that absorb motion, which is important for partners with different sleeping habits. On top of that, the coils extend from edge to edge, which helps couples spread out and use the entire surface of the mattress. Lastly, there’s enough bounce from the coils to keep sexually-active couples happy.

Preference-based Features
Optional GlacioTex™ Cover
If you’re a hot sleeper, you may want to add the GlacioTex™ cooling cover for an additional fee. The cover is cool-to-the-touch, so it should help hot sleepers find more even comfort by providing a cooler sleep surface. According to Brooklyn Bedding, it’s designed to maintain skin temperature at 88 degrees.
Safety Certification
The foams in this mattress are CertiPUR-US® certified, which means they don’t contain any chemicals, toxins, and heavy metals. This makes the mattress a good option for people with allergies and those concerned about chemicals in their bed.
Adjustable Base Compatible
The Titan can be used with an adjustable base. The company also sells adjustable bases on their website if you’re interested in purchasing one with your mattress.
Handcrafted in the USA
Construction: What’s Inside the Titan Plus?
The cover is made out of cotton and features dark gray panels on the side. For an extra charge, the company can sew in a premium phase change molecule (PCM) cover for even more cooling.
Under the cover, you’ll find four layers, three of which are made from foam, while one contains coils. The entire mattress is 11 inches tall.
- This cover is quilted to an inch of gel memory foam which molds to your body’s shape while wicking away heat. The gel in this layer also helps draw your body heat away from the surface of the bed and push it down to the coils.
- Below the quilted top is the company’s proprietary TitanFlex™ foam that provides 2 inches of pressure relief targeted at the points on the body that tend to bear the most weight when lying in bed. This performance foam is also responsive, so repositioning should be effortless.
- Further down lies the industrial-strength support system that contains the company’s TitanCaliber™ coils. These 6-inch coils are individually pocketed to reduce motion transfer and provide the necessary support for spine alignment.
- The base contains 2 inches of high-density foam that cushions the coils by providing a sturdy and durable foundation.
Unboxing & Off-Gassing
The Titan Plus comes compressed in a box, making it easy to carry though your home. However, keep in mind that the reinforced coils are heavy, and you may need some help carrying and installing the mattress. The bed weighs anywhere from 75 to 135 pounds, depending on the size you choose, and that’s minus the weight of the package itself. In most cases, it takes up to 24 hours for the mattress to decompress and reach its full size.
Like most other bed-in-a-box models, the Titan Plus mattress has some off-gassing which you may notice when you first remove its package. However, any off-gassing odors should dissipate by the time the mattress decompresses.
Certifications
- Eco-Friendly Certifications – The foams in this bed are CertiPUR-US® certified. CertiPUR-US® is a third-party program that ensures the foams meet rigorous health and safety standards. This means they don’t contain harmful substances like ozone depleters, PBDEs, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates. They should also have low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
Noteworthy Updates:
- The Titan Plus mattress was previously known as the Titan Hybrid.
Coupons, Trials, Warranties, and Shipping
- Shipping – Shipping is free within the contiguous United States. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada is available at an additional cost.
- Trial – Once the bed is delivered, you have 120 nights to decide if this is the right mattress for you.
- Warranty – The warranty on this product is good for 10 years.
- Return Policy – Returning the mattress is easy and free, but exchanges, returns, and refunds are not available until after 30 days into the trial period.

Overall Summary
The Titan Plus mattress is evidence that those with plus-size figures do not need to compromise on comfort in order to receive the support they need. With the Titan Plus, heavyweight sleepers can expect a supportive, cooling night’s rest thanks to the durable coil system, foam comfort layers, and cool-to-the-touch surface.
Side Sleepers
4/5
Side sleepers who are heavier should appreciate the balance of comfort and support. They should feel the memory and TitanFlex foams conform to their shape and relieve pressure in their hips and shoulders, while the coils give the support needed to keep their spine comfortable.
Back Sleepers
5/5
Folks who regularly sleep on their back should feel the top comfort foam layers of the Titan Plus conforming to their lower back, while the industrial-level support from the innerspring unit further below supports their hips and keeps them comfortably level.
Stomach Sleepers
4/5
No matter their size, regular stomach sleepers tend to prefer a bed that gives them a firmer feel. This mattress should hold up well for heavier folks who sleep on their stomach while the comfort forms are still responsive enough to cater to their pressure points.
Combination Sleepers
4/5
Combination sleepers tend to respond well to beds with a mid-range firmness level since that is versatile enough for multiple sleeping positions. Although the bed’s slightly firm feel might be too sturdy for lightweight sleepers, this should do well for combination sleepers who are heavier.
Couples
4/5
Similar to combination sleepers, a bed that’s a good fit for couples must be accommodating to both persons. This bed should do exceptionally well for a plus-size couple since it’s specially designed for heavier individuals. Plus, the motion isolation provided by the coils should minimize the chances of waking your partner when you adjust during the night.
Heavy Sleepers
5/5
The Titan Plus is marketed specifically for plus-size individuals, making this bed an excellent choice for these sleepers. You should feel a good balance of pressure-relieving comfort and sturdy support for good spine alignment. As this is a brand designed for larger people, the manufacturer’s recommended weight limit is a bit higher at 900 pounds.
Lightweight Sleepers
3/5
Stomach sleepers of a lighter weight should still do well with this mattress, especially if they enjoy a firmer feel. However, individuals under 120 pounds are likely to find this bed too hard. For those who desire something less firm, you can also try out the Titan Plus Luxe for a more medium-firm feel.
Average-Weight Sleepers
4/5
The Titan Plus should be an ideal match for average-weight back sleepers as it offers enough cushioning and support in this position. You should experience just enough sinkage, an even weight distribution, and an overall healthy sleep posture. However, those who weigh closer to 130 pounds may find the bed too firm for comfortable side-sleeping.
Overall Value
4/5
The Titan Plus should be an ideal match for average-weight back sleepers as it offers enough cushioning and support in this position. You should experience just enough sinkage, an even weight distribution, and an overall healthy sleep posture. However, those who weigh closer to 130 pounds may find the bed too firm for comfortable side-sleeping.
Our Verdict
We think the Titan Plus by Brooklyn Bedding is worth your attention – especially if you’re a heavyweight sleeper – as it’s well-made, comfortable, and durable. The mattress feels luxurious thanks to high-quality, proprietary materials that work together to deliver pressure relief and support in all the right areas.
Its excellent weight limit makes it a great fit for heavier people. On top of that, it feels slightly firm, so it should do a good job of supporting stomach and back sleepers, as well as folks with back pain.
However, because this is a highly supportive, firm bed, we wouldn’t recommend it to light sleepers, especially those who sleep on their side.
