The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress aims to bring you the best of both worlds with a foam and innerspring construction.
Brooklyn Bedding goes way back as it was started in 1995. Since then, they’ve produced many different mattresses, all with the same quality we see today. The company is known for their quality craftsmanship and a diverse selection of mattresses that fit everyone’s budget. The Signature Hybrid’s design and high-quality materials mean this model is good for many mattress customers, such as people who need pressure relief and budget shoppers.
Emma from our team tested this bed in person and helped us bring you all the deets, including those about support, comfort, and quality of materials. This model comes in three different firmness levels, and our review focuses on the best-selling Medium option.

Who We Recommend the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid For
- Those interested in a classic hybrid design – This hybrid lets you experience the resilient support of coils while being gently cradled by pressure-relieving foam. Plus, it’s a classic design as Emma notes, “If you’re looking for a basic bed that does the job well, this is it.”
- Combination sleepers – The coils and hyper-elastic latex-like foams give this hybrid good bounce, which is great for sleepers who change position throughout the night. Emma points out, “This bed is super versatile for all sleeping positions.”
- Hot sleepers – The infusion of the company’s proprietary TitaniumGel™ in the TitanFlex™ foam helps reduce heat retention. The coil layer also increases airflow, which helps keep the bed temperature neutral. There’s also an option to add the GlacioTex™ cooling cover for additional comfort.
- Couples – Both Emma and Mark, who also tested this bed in person, agree that the Signature Hybrid should be a good match for couples as it has solid motion isolation and just enough bounce.
Who We Don’t Recommend the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid For:
- Memory foam lovers – While the specially designed layers of foam in this mattress will give your body a gently cradled feeling, it will not be the same deep hug experience that memory foam lovers prefer.
- Heavy people – The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is available in a Firm model, but individuals weighing over 230 pounds may need a bed that caters better to their frame for quality support. Heavier individuals may do better with Brooklyn Bedding’s Titan Plus, as it’s made specifically for heavier sleepers.
First Impressions: Firmness & Feel
Firmness Scale: 4/10 (Soft) 6/10 (Medium) 8/10(Firm)
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.
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress is available in three firmness levels, making it easy to find one that suits your needs. We rated them 4, 6, and 8 on our firmness scale.
The softest version allows the most sinkage, but it still doesn’t hug the body so much as classic memory foam beds. The coils support the upper layers and help keep your spine aligned.
The same goes for the other two firmness options. The Medium model has the perfect balance of pressure relief and pushback support, so it’s the best option for most sleepers. On the other hand, the firmest Signature Hybrid feels sturdier at first touch, but the tightly quilted top and hyper-elastic memory foam should do a good job of preventing pressure build-up
How Does It Feel?
The elasticity of the latex-alternative TitanFlex™ foam paired with an innerspring core gives this mattress a quick response time, a medium-level bounce, and good temperature regulation. In addition, the softer foam in the top comfort layers provides a gently cradled feeling and good pressure relief that reacts quickly to changes in position.
Emma, a combination sleeper weighing about 140 pounds, says the bed feels firm and almost like it’s lifting her up. However, she also said she felt some pressure on her shoulders and hips when lying on her side.
Testing the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid Mattress: How it Performed
We tested the Signature Hybrid mattress in Medium, which allowed us to evaluate how this mattress would perform for the majority of sleepers. Mark and Emma tested it individually, and then together to evaluate how it would perform for couples, focusing on motion isolation and edge support. Our team also tested for preference-based features like temperature regulation and bounce to help you figure out if this mattress is a good match for your sleeping habits.

Sleeping Positions for Different Body Types
All Brooklyn Bedding mattresses can support up to 900 pounds, the Signature Hybrid included. However, its medium feel may be too soft for those weighing closer to 230 pounds. For this reason, the company recommends its Titan Plus mattress to everyone weighing over 300 pounds.
| 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 should find sufficient relief in the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress thanks to its 1.5-inch of premium memory foam. However, significantly lightweight people may struggle to activate the upper layers, in which case they may be better off with the Soft model.
- Average-Weight Sleepers – Average-weight side sleepers should have no trouble activating the upper layers and getting enough cradling for pressure relief. However, those closer to 130 pounds may still prefer more pressure relief.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavy sleepers may sink too deeply into the foam layers when sleeping on their side. In this case, they may do better with the Firm version of this bed or opt for the company’s Titan Plus mattress.
Back Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – Lightweight back sleepers don’t usually struggle with pressure relief, so the Medium Signature Hybrid should be a good option. The Ascension® coils support the body while its multiple foam layers allow enough cradling to prevent lower back pain.
- Average-Weight Sleepers – Average-weight back sleepers would sink a bit more than lightweight people, but this shouldn’t throw their spine out of alignment. The Medium model is an excellent choice for average-weight people as it offers a good balance of pressure relief and support for the lumbar area.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – Heavy people weighing over 230 pounds would find this model too soft to support the lumbar area. Instead, they may want to consider trying the Firm option or an even firmer bed like the Titan Plus.
Stomach Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – Stomach sleepers weighing under 130 should have no trouble using the Medium Signature Hybrid since the middle-of-the-road feel should hold the spine in alignment, preventing the hips from sinking in.
- Average-Weight Sleepers – Stomach sleepers weighing closer to 130 pounds may like this bed, but those closer to 230 pounds are likely to find it too soft. The hips would sink in too deeply in this position, which can result in back pain.
- Heavyweight sleepers – Stomach sleepers weighing over 230 pounds could struggle with spine alignment since the Medium Signature Hybrid is too soft to support the hips in this position.
Pressure Relief & Pain
2/5
Brooklyn Bedding targets pressure relief in the top layers of the company’s Signature Hybrid mattress. First, there’s the 1-inch quilted top that combines soft, breathable cotton with Brooklyn Bedding’s TitanFlex™ foam. TitanFlex™ is designed to conform to the shape of the body in order to alleviate pain or sensitivity in pressure points while also immediately responding to movements.
Even with all this, some people may still experience pressure buildup, especially if they weigh under 130 pounds and sleep exclusively on their side.
Is the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Mattress Good for Pain Relief?
Yes, we think the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Mattress provides a nice balance of both support and cushioning to help alleviate pain. Plus, having multiple firmness options means this bed could work for a wider variety of body types and sleep position preferences.
Back Pain
Back pain can come from improper spine alignment while sleeping. Brooklyn Bedding’s Signature Hybrid in Medium provides sufficient support for most sleepers thanks to the Ascension® coils and just enough pressure relief to prevent the pressure from concentrating in the lumbar area.
Hip Pain
Hip pain is another common issue for many side sleepers, and Brooklyn Bedding tackles this issue using multiple foam layers that respond to movement. The hyper-elastic premium memory foam adjusts to your body and helps ease the pain in the hips. However, you might experience pressure buildup in the hip area, so if you have hip pain, it’s best to look for a softer bed.
Shoulder Pain
Heavy sleepers struggling with shoulder pain should like the Medium version of this hybrid as it allows enough cradling to prevent the pressure from building up. However, those with severe shoulder pain may prefer a softer feel, especially if they weigh under 150 pounds.
Support
4/5
The 1-inch VariFlex™ layer in the Signature Hybrid mattress delivers comfort and deep compression support as you move into the coil unit underneath. “It’s very supportive.”, says Emma, who spends most of her time sleeping on her side and stomach.
The innerspring layer features 961 individually encased coils made to provide deep compression support against your body weight to help ensure your spine stays well aligned. The company has also added a .25-inch high-density foam base below this layer to reinforce the coils as they compress. The Medium and Firm Signature Hybrid models are the most supportive, while the Soft model may only support lightweight sleepers.
Motion Transfer
3/5
“Hybrids usually perform pretty average when it comes to motion transfer, but we were surprised at how well [the] Signature Hybrid isolated motion, especially for how responsive it is.”, Emma points out after testing this using a water bottle. Although it wobbles, the bottle doesn’t tip over. This is because the upper foam layers absorb motion so that it doesn’t transfer from one side to the other. In addition, the coils are individually encased, which allows them to move separately. As a result, you’re unlikely to feel so much of your partner’s tossing and turning at night.
Temperature Regulation / Cooling
3/5
“Some sleepers may find it to be just a little bit hot,” said Mark. However, this doesn’t have to be the same for everyone. Although hybrids are naturally cooler than all-foam mattresses, the company went the extra mile by including proprietary materials to prevent the foam from heating. The TitaniumGel™ added to the TitanFlex™ foam helps cool the construction so that no heat is trapped between the layers. In addition, the coils allow continuous airflow, making this mattress breathable and fresh.
Bounce
5/5
The Signature Hybrid is “really bouncy and responsive,” as Emma noted. Bounce is a big deal for many couples and combination sleepers.
Being that it has coils, the Signature Hybrid has a good amount of bounce, making it easier to switch positions and get in and out of bed. In addition, the bounce is good for sexually active couples.
Edge Support
5/5
This bed has reinforced coils around the perimeter. “I can lay right on the edge without feeling like I’m going to fall out,” said Emma. She adds the mattress feels bigger because you can use the entire surface without worrying you could fall should you come near the edge. This is good for couples as it allows them to use the entire mattress, and is also good for those who like to sleep near the edge.
Performance for Couples
5/5
Couples should like the Medium Signature Hybrid as it has a universal firmness that fits different sleeping habits. On top of that, this bed has a bit of bounce that fosters easier repositioning, which may be important for some couples.
Each Signature Hybrid has a reinforced perimeter to enhance the edge support so that partners can use the entire surface of the bed. Motion isolation is another important factor when it comes to mattresses for couples, and as Emma points out, “couples shouldn’t be bothered by movements across the bed unless they were really sensitive and super-light sleepers.”

Preference-based Features
Multiple Firmness Options
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is available in three firmness options: Soft, Medium, and Firm. This allows the sleeper to choose a bed that is more closely catered to their specific needs, including weight and sleep position. Medium firmness is the most versatile and should work well for most sleepers regardless of their preferred sleeping position.

Cooling
To prevent the foam from getting too hot, the company added Titatinum Gel™ to their proprietary TitanFlex™ foam. Additionally, the coils further down should deliver more airflow to keep the bed – and you – cool during the night.
Exceptional Edge Support
This hybrid has an edge-to-edge coil system that provides good edge support, especially compared to other bed-in-a-box brands. When sitting on the side, you may notice some compression within the first few layers, but you should still feel well-supported by the Ascension® coils underneath. This is the most beneficial for couples and single individuals who like sleeping across the entire surface of the bed.
Motion Isolation
Motion transfer refers to how much movement on one side of the mattress is felt on the other side of the bed. This is an important consideration for couples or those with a large pet that jumps in and out of bed all night. With the Signature Hybrid, motion transfer is minimal. Also, because the coils are individually encased, each one compresses independently from the other coils and will not transfer motion like traditional coil systems with an interconnected design.
Adjustable Base Compatible
This hybrid is suitable for platforms, slatted frames, box springs, and adjustable bases, though the company suggests choosing frames with little to no flex. In addition, their website includes an option to purchase a foundation designed specifically for this product if you prefer.
Construction: What’s Inside the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid?
The cover of the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is made from a breathable cotton blend that’s quilted to foam to create a plush experience that feels soft and luxurious to the touch. The cover on the Firm model is .5 inches thick, and the cover on the Medium and Soft models is 1 inch thick.
Based on the thickness of the individual layers of the bed, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid stacks up to 12.25 inches high.
- The quilted top features 1.5 inches of foam, delivering minimal sinkage.
- The comfort layer is 1.5 inches of Supreme Response Comfort Foam, which is made to adjust to the sleeper so that they can be supported in whatever position they choose to sleep in.
- The transition layer is 1 inch of VariFlex™ transition foam that provides deep compression support and comfort. This layer acts as a transition between the foam layers on top and the coils beneath.
- The support layer is comprised of individually encased coils that stand 8 inches thick. This layer should react well to your movements and foster motion isolation, a big plus for those who don’t want to disturb their sleep partner. Additionally, this layer has high-caliber Ascension® coils along the perimeter for optimum edge support, allowing you to use the entire surface space of the mattress.
- The base layer is made of .25-inch high-density flex foam that supports the upper layers and reinforces the coils above.
Unboxing & Off-Gassing
This mattress is compressed and shipped in a box. Sturdy handles on either side of the mattress should help you move it into position on your bed frame. The bed weighs 60 to 125 pounds, so it can be a bit tricky to move from your doorstep to your bedroom without an extra pair of hands.
Brooklyn Bedding recommends opening the package and placing the mattress on the front of the bed frame immediately. This way, the bed can decompress while on the frame. In most cases, it takes 24 hours for it to decompress entirely. Any smells should also dissipate in 3 to 5 hours.
Certifications
Eco-Friendly Certifications – The foams in this bed are CertiPUR-US® certified, which means they meet rigorous safety standards for harmful substances. The CertiPUR-US® program is a third-party organization that tests foam products to meet strict health and safety standards. A CertiPUR-US® certification means that the foams in the mattresses are not made with ozone depleters, harmful flame retardants, or formaldehyde, and have low VOC emissions.
Noteworthy Updates:
The Signature Hybrid mattress was previously known as the Signature.
