The Signature Hybrid vs the Aurora Luxe? In this guide, our sleep experts dive into which is best, which might suit you better and their features.

Brooklyn Bedding launched in 1995 with the aim of making luxury mattresses affordable for all. The company owns its entire manufacturing setup, and they design, construct, and ship mattresses from their 300,000-square-foot factory in Phoenix, Arizona. This allows them to make huge savings for consumers and sell beds at competitive prices.

Many mattress retailers claim their beds suit everyone, but Brooklyn Bedding knows a single mattress can’t possibly be a fit for every kind of sleeper. So, with that in mind, we’re comparing two of their popular hybrid models – the Signature Hybrid and the Aurora Luxe, which are both available in three firmness options.

Comparing Firmness, Support & Feel

Firmness

Mattress firmness is an important factor when choosing a mattress, and we rate it on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest. Both mattresses are available with a choice of three firmness levels, so you can customize the bed to suit your needs.
The Soft, Medium, and Firm versions of the Signature Hybrid come in at 4, 6, and 8 out of 10, respectively, while the same versions are 5, 6.5, and 8 out of 10 for the Aurora Luxe.

Support

The slightly firmer overall support of the Aurora Luxe makes it more suitable for stomach sleepers and heavier people, while the more plush feel of the Signature Hybrid could be great for side sleepers.

There’s a great guide on the product page of each mattress to help you decide which level of firmness you need, but we think the Medium of both offers a nice balance of pressure relief and support.

Feel

If you’re after a cool-to-the-touch mattress, look no further than the Aurora Luxe mattress, with its luxuriously smooth GlacioTex™ cooling cover. The Signature Hybrid’s breathable cotton-blend cover also feels soft and luxurious.

The overall feel of both beds will depend on which firmness level you choose, but both beds should be able to provide a good balance of support and pressure relief for many people.

Comparing Sinkage and Bounce

Both the Signature Hybrid and the Aurora Luxe offer a gentle cradle with their layers of pressure-relieving memory foam. The Soft models offer the most sinkage, although you still won’t get the deep hug that traditional memory foam beds offer.

Responsive foams are used in both beds, but you’ll get a bit more bounce from the Aurora Luxe, thanks to the use of CopperFlex™ foam, a latex alternative. This may make it easier for combination sleepers to change positions in the night, and couples who like a springy mattress for sex may prefer this also.

Comparing Motion Transfer

We found both mattresses to have pretty good motion isolation, with the foam comfort layers helping to absorb movement from the coil unit below. Plus, the use of individually-wrapped coils means each coil can move independently, preventing movement from cascading through the bed.

However, the Signature Hybrid is a bit less bouncy, so it naturally offers slightly better motion isolation. This is important for couples, particularly where one is restless and the other doesn’t want to be disturbed by movement making its way across the bed.
With both mattresses, you’ll get the best motion isolation in the Medium and Firm models.

Comparing Cooling

Both mattresses have cooling features, including phase change material in the memory foam and a coil unit that promotes airflow, but the Aurora Luxe has additional technology that should keep exceptionally hot sleepers comfortable. The GlacioTex™ cooling cover has gel beads, which help maintain a neutral temperature, while the CopperFlex™ foam features highly conductive copper, to draw heat away from the body. Both foam layers also feature an open-cell design, to promote airflow.

The Signature Hybrid has a breathable cover, which can be upgraded to the GlacioTex™, starting at 134 dollars for Twin size.

Comparing Construction (Materials & Quality)
