Who We Recommend the Titan Plus Luxe For:
- Hot Sleepers – This mattress has a cooling design with gel infusions and coils that allow plenty of temperature regulation. In addition, there’s an option to add a cooling panel to the cover if you need more cooling to help you fall asleep.
- Heavier Folks – The Titan Plus Luxe is designed specifically for heavyweight sleepers who weigh over 230 pounds and prefer sleeping on their side or back. The mattress offers spinal support and pressure relief in the heaviest body areas.
- Couples – This mattress has excellent edge support and motion isolation, so it’s a good option for couples. In addition, its medium-firm feel should fit partners with different sleeping habits or if one person doesn’t weigh as much.
Who We Don’t Recommend the Titan Plus Luxe For:
- Heavier stomach sleepers – Heavier stomach sleepers may prefer a firmer bed because they need more support to prevent areas where weight is often concentrated, such as the hips, from sinking in. The Titan Plus Luxe is medium-firm but may not do a good job keeping your hips aligned with your shoulders if you weigh over 230 pounds.
- Lightweight sleepers – Lightweight and even average-weight sleepers may find this bed too firm. The Titan Plus Luxe is designed for heavy sleepers, meaning that lightweight sleepers may not even activate the upper layers, and not benefitting as much from the mattress.
First Impressions: Firmness & Feel
Firmness Scale: 6.5/10
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.
What does the firmness of a mattress mean? A mattress’s firmness refers to how soft or how firm it feels when you’re lying on it. Firmness and supportiveness differ in that firmness is an overall feeling, while supportiveness of a mattress specifically addresses how well the mattress keeps your spine neutral.
The Titan Plus Luxe from Brooklyn Bedding is constructed with a medium firmness. It’s specifically designed for plus-sized individuals, and because of this, the mattress may feel more firm for an average-weight person than it does for their heavier counterparts. The firmness level provides a comforting combination of soft pressure relief with firm support.
How Does It Feel?
The Titan Plus Luxe is heavy and large, which you’ll notice when it arrives at your doorstep. For this reason, it’s best to have someone help you because moving it around alone would be tricky, more so if you want to bring it upstairs.
The first thing you may notice is that the mattress is cool-to-the-touch. When you lie on the bed, you should feel gentle cradling and contouring while your heavier areas are well-supported.
What We Like About the Titan Plus Luxe
- Cooling design – The gel infusions and coils of this mattress allow plenty of temperature regulation. In addition, there’s an option to add a cooling panel to the cover if you need more cooling to help you fall asleep.
- High weight capacity – The Titan Plus Luxe is designed specifically for heavyweight sleepers who weigh over 230 pounds and prefer sleeping on their side or back. The mattress offers spinal support and pressure relief in the heaviest body areas.
- Excellent motion isolation – This mattress has excellent edge support and motion isolation, so it’s a good option for couples. In addition, its medium-firm feel should fit partners with different sleeping habits or if one person doesn’t weigh as much.
Our Titan Plus Luxe Complaints
- Too soft for stomach sleepers – Heavier stomach sleepers may prefer a firmer bed because they need more support to prevent the hips from sinking in. The Titan Plus Luxe is medium-firm but may not do a good job keeping your hips aligned with your shoulders if you weigh over 230 pounds.
- Lightweight sleepers may find it too firm – Lightweight and even average-weight sleepers may find this bed too firm. The Titan Plus Luxe is meant for heavy sleepers, meaning that lightweight people may not activate the upper layer.
- The cooling top costs extra – Although the Titan Plus Luxe has a great cooling design, sleepers wanting the ultimate cool sleeping experience will need to pay extra for an advanced cooling panel at the top.
Testing the Titan Luxe Plus: How it Performed
When testing the Titan Luxe Plus Mattress, we used a variety of techniques to ensure that this mattress could withstand all the tests that life may throw at it. Given that this mattress is specifically designed for heavyweight sleepers, we had someone who fell into this description test the mattress out.
A heavier person may be sharing this bed with a lightweight or average-weight partner, so we also had someone who weighs in at around 140 pounds also test it out. Each tester documented how this bed performed for different sleeping positions, as well as factors like bounce, repositioning, cooling, and more.
Sleeping Positions for Different Body Types
The Titan Luxe Hybrid mattress can support up to 1,000 pounds total, which means a limit of 500 pounds per person for couples.
| 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 find that this bed lacks the cushioning needed to give them a good night’s rest.
- Average-Weight Sleepers – The Titan Plus Luxe mattress may provide average-weight side sleepers with too much pressure in sensitive areas.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – Side sleepers who weigh 230 pounds or more should enjoy the medium firmness of this mattress that keeps their bodies from sinking too much.
Back Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – Although the Titan Plus Luxe is designed for heavier sleepers, thanks to the moderate firmness level, some lightweight back sleepers may find this bed desirable.
- Average-Weight Sleepers – If you are an average-weight back sleeper, the Titan Plus Luxe Mattress is highly suitable for you. The firmness of this mattress should allow you to be aligned without sinking too much.
- Heavyweight Sleepers – Back sleepers who weigh at or above 230 pounds should be met with comforting contouring, lumbar support, and pressure relief around their hips.
Stomach Sleepers
- Lightweight Sleepers – This mattress may come across as too firm for stomach sleepers. Although stomach sleepers don’t want to sink too much, those at lighter weights may not experience any give.
- Average-Weight Sleepers – Average-weight stomach sleepers may find that this bed’s firmness hits the sweet spot for them. They shouldn’t sink too much so their hips can remain level.
- Heavyweight Sleepers -The Titan Plus Luxe was designed with heavier-than-average sleepers in mind. Unfortunately, for those who prefer stomach snoozing, this mattress may not keep their hips from sinking too far down.
Pressure Relief & Pain
Pressure relief comes from distributing your weight evenly across the mattress. A bed that offers good pressure relief will do exactly that without concentrating your weight on the hips, lower back, and shoulders. The comfort layer, made from the brand’s proprietary TitanFlex™ foam, is designed to cushion sensitive areas which will help to alleviate nighttime pain and pressure. Additionally, the Titan Plus Luxe offers excellent lumbar relief.
- Back Pain – The Titan Plus Luxe offers excellent lumbar and edge-to-edge support for heavyweight sleepers. This will help keep your weight balanced when shifting and moving and your spine aligned when settled into your preferred sleep position. This will help alleviate or prevent back pain.
- Hip Pain – This mattress has incredibly supportive individually-wrapped coils that offer targeted support. Side sleepers will notice that this mattress keeps their hips comfortably aligned without the mattress feeling too rigid.
- Shoulder Pain – Although light and average-weight sleepers may feel that this bed is too firm on their shoulders, heavier-weight sleepers should have no issues. Their weight will allow this bed to respond and cushion them well.
Support
The Titan Plus Luxe is designed with support in mind as it features extra-supportive TitanCaliber™ coils. The coils are 8 inches tall, 13.5 gauge, and individually wrapped to move independently, offering more support where it’s needed the most. This targeted support is excellent for heavy sleepers as it focuses mostly on the heaviest parts of the body.
When you lie on the bed, you feel the upper layers should gently hug your curves just enough to provide comfort and pressure relief. In addition, you should feel your weight generously supported without the mattress becoming too soft.
For additional support, use a heavy-duty bed frame.
Motion Transfer
Couples need to sleep equally well, and when it comes to mattresses, this is often greatly impacted by motion transfer. With ample foam layers and individually wrapped coils, this mattress absorbs motion very well. Therefore, if one-half of a couple tosses and turns throughout the night, the other half shouldn’t be easily disturbed.
Temperature Regulation / Cooling
Hybrids are known to be cooler than all-foam mattresses because they have coils that promote airflow. In addition, the Titan Plus Luxe has gel infused into the first foam layer designed to dissipate heat. You can choose the GlacioTex™ Cooling Cover that should amplify the cooling effect. Although the mattress provides sufficient breathability and is already cool to the touch, the GlacioTex™ cover enhances this even more.
Performance for Couples
The excellent edge-to-edge support coupled with the great motion transfer, make the Titan Plus Luxe an excellent mattress for couples. It also has a 1,000-pound weight capacity, which will make it a supportive mattress for heavyweight pairings. Given that this mattress is good for multiple sleep positions, this makes it a winner for couples who have different preferred sleep positions.

Free Shipping and Returns
Brooklyn Bedding offers free shipping and returns, although you have to try the mattress for 30 nights before returning it. After that, if you decide it’s not the right fit for you, the company may send you a topper, exchange the mattress, or refund your money.
Durability
This mattress looks and feels durable as it’s made from quality materials that should last a long time. Plus, it’s constructed for heavier sleepers, so it’s unlikely to sag for at least ten years, thanks to its strong coils and high-density foams.
Exceptional Edge Support
This mattress has excellent edge support you’ll notice if you sit or sleep near the edge. You should feel sufficient support along the sides, which may make the mattress feel bigger because you’ll have more surface area to use.
Easier Repositioning
Sleeping on the Titan Plus Luxe should feel like sleeping “on top of the bed”, meaning you won’t sink into the construction. Plus, the bed feels more buoyant, which should help you reposition if you like to sleep in different postures throughout the night.
Bed-in-a-Box
The Titan Plus Luxe is shipped in a box, which makes it easier to move from your doorstep to your bedroom. However, we already mentioned this is a heavy mattress, so you may still need someone to help you move the box around.
Compatible with Various Bases
Brooklyn Bedding advises using a foundation with solid support and minimal to no flex. This means you can use slatted wood or metal foundations where the slats aren’t more than 4 inches apart. You can also use wood or metal foundations and solid platforms.
Made in the USA
Construction: What’s Inside the Titan Plus Luxe?
The Titan Plus Luxe features six layers and is 13 inches tall. The bed feels responsive, bouncy, and easy to move on, although it allows only a little contouring. The construction starts with a soft cover quilted with an inch of gel memory foam. You can also get an optional cooling panel made from phase-change material if you need advanced cooling.
- Below the pillowtop is a layer of TitanFlex™ foam designed to relieve pressure by cushioning all the sensitive areas.
- Going further down you will find Energex™ foam, designed to offer deeper compression support that is crucial for heavier bodies. The Energex™ foam allows a bit of contouring before the support layer.
- The support layer of the Titan Plus Luxe has 8-inch TitanCaliber™ coils individually wrapped for maximum motion isolation. The coils provide bounce and support while promoting airflow through the foam layers.
- The base layer is made from high-density foam supporting the coil layer above. The foam is one inch tall, giving the entire bed structure, enhancing stability and durability.
The Titan Plus Luxe is excellent for hot sleepers who like sleeping “on the bed” instead of “in it”. The mattress is available in seven standard sizes, all of which have the same layers but the price varies depending on whether you want the optional cooling panel. Additionally, Brooklyn Bedding advises using foundations with solid support because the Titan Plus Luxe weighs 75 to 135 pounds.
Unboxing & Off-Gassing
Depending on the size that you order, the Titan Plus Luxe will weigh between 75-135 pounds. Therefore, maneuvering the box is probably not something you want to take on solo. Once you have taken your compressed mattress out of the box, position it on your frame, and carefully cut the plastic wrapping away.
You will notice an odor from the foam layers, but don’t be alarmed. Foams and other materials often release relatively harmless but smelly volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. It may seem strong at first, but it will quickly dissipate.
Certifications
- CertiPUR-US® Certified – 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:
Brooklyn Bedding has recently changed the names of some of their mattresses. The Titan Plus Luxe was previously known as the Titan Luxe Hybrid.

Overall Summary
The Titan Plus Luxe is a heavy-duty mattress designed to deliver support and pressure relief for heavier folks, The mattress doesn’t sag and should last you at least 10 years as it’s made from quality materials. Plus, it should fit side and back sleepers, along with couples.
Side Sleepers
5/5
Heavier side sleepers should like the medium firmness and how the mattress feels in areas prone to pressure build-up. Therefore, the bed should provide gentle cradling, hugging the shoulders, hips, and knees just enough to prevent the pressure from building up when you sleep in this position.
Back Sleepers
5/5
This bed is excellent for heavy back sleepers because they often need more support than average and lightweight sleepers. The Titan Plus Luxe has a cradling comfort layer that adapts to your curves, while the supportive coils keep the spine in alignment when you sleep on your back.
Stomach Sleepers
3/5
Stomach sleepers should pay special attention to spine alignment because the hips often sink when in this position. This is even more the case for heavier individuals because hips carry the most weight, which could impact your sleep posture. Although the Titan Plus Luxe is medium-firm, it may be too soft for dedicated stomach sleepers weighing over 230 pounds.
Combination Sleepers
4/5
This bed has just enough bounce to allow easy repositioning, crucial for heavier individuals who like sleeping in different positions. In addition, combination sleepers who don’t stay in any sleeping position for too long should like how the bed feels, supporting and hugging the body in the heaviest areas.
Couples
5/5
Couples looking for bounce and support should like the Titan Plus Luxe. The mattress can handle up to 1,000 pounds, which means it’s an excellent option for heavier couples. In addition, it’s good for both side and back sleepers and has good motion isolation so that partners don’t wake each other up when tossing and turning.
Heavy Sleepers
5/5
Heavier folks often struggle to find a mattress that supports their body while also relieving pressure in sensitive areas like the shoulders, hips, and knees. The Titan Plus Luxe is designed specifically for those weighing over 230 pounds as it features heavy-duty coils and high-density, durable foams.
Lightweight Sleepers
3/5
Lightweight sleepers weighing under 130 pounds will probably find this mattress too firm. These sleepers are less likely to not activate the upper layers, so they may not feel any hugging or cradling. Dedicated stomach sleepers weighing less than average might like the support, but that’ll quickly disappear if you change positions.
Average-Weight Sleepers
4/5
Although this mattress was designed for heavier sleepers, we also tested it using an average-weight person. Average-weight sleepers will likely find that this bed provides softness and support for any of their preferred sleeping positions. This mattress would also make for a great choice for couples where one partner is average-weight and the other is on the heavier side.
Overall Value
4/5
The Titan Plus Luxe is an excellent mattress that promises durability, comfort, pressure relief, and superior support for heavy folks. This high-value bed packs cooling, a luxurious feel, and everything else you’d expect from a high-quality brand like Brooklyn Bedding.
Our Verdict
After testing the Titan Plus Luxe, we feel this mattress is a fantastic match for heavier sleepers. We recommend the mattress for several reasons, but one of its main selling points is the superior construction that supports extra weight without allowing pressure to build up.
The mattress is excellent for side and back sleepers weighing over 230 pounds. In addition, the Titan Plus Luxe is helpful for heavier couples and those who sleep hot.
Heavier bodies should find abundant support in the eight-inch steel coils that are individually wrapped for motion isolation and bounce. The bed’s value, supportive construction, and pressure-relieving capabilities make it a favorite among heavy sleepers.
