Just got the Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex hybrid pro. Last night was the first night. I had a hard time sleeping and it didn’t feel cool. Any recommendations? Is it normal for the first night
Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is arguably the best value mattress on the market today. We just recently tested the newest version and it is incredibly impressive. Review here - [https://naplab.com/mattress-reviews/brooklyn-bedding-signature-hybrid-review/](https://naplab.com/mattress-reviews/brooklyn-bedding-signature-hybrid-review/)
Leesa Original, Glacier Original, and Boring Hybrid are also all solid choices. You can see the full ranked list here - [https://naplab.com/best-mattress/best-affordable-mattress/](https://naplab.com/best-mattress/best-affordable-mattress/)
NapLab also recommended the Copperflex for me. I tried it for a few months and it is so so firm. It softened up a tiny amount over that time, but not much. I'm 5'7, 130 pounds and found it uncomfortable for side sleeping, causing a lot of pressure on my shoulders and hips. The lighter person might find this one unpleasant like I did. The cooling surface was quite nice though, but it's slippery and caused my sheets to move as I did. It's good quality for the price, but I ended up returning it.
I'm on night 3 of the Boring Hybrid. This one is a little less firm IMO and I really struggled on the first night, but the second night was extremely comfortable. I slept like a rock. I may order their topper as this one also causes some pressure as well but not as much as the Copperflex.
I just want to say I just went through this.
Ended up buying a Brooklyn bedding co firm hybrid copperflex.
They had a sale on there website like 20% off I think?
I got so sick of looking I just settled.
I got lucky I love it my last matress was so bad...
All in all was like 800 if im remembering correctly.
I will say though, my old matress was so bad anything was an upgrade.
Also just saying anything you see with bad reviews online or 90% of them anyway are the dumbest shit ive ever seen.
Look at 3 to 4 star reviews to get a general idea all the people doing one and five star reviews are either insufferable people or paid advistisers (if on Amazon anyways)
Either way have had it for 3 months now its been good for a side and stomach sleeper
I went to a place that had Nolah Evolution, Wink Bed (multiple), Leesa (multiple), Puffy (3), and Brooklyn Bedding (3). Trying them on close succession was super helpful. They didn’t have helix but I tried this somewhere else (midnight luxe and elite), as well as Saatva (classic, Rx, and their all foam beds). I also tried others I passed on for being too cheap and feeling cheap, or for being over $3,500 which was above what I would spend.
Remember that Helix, Brooklyn Bedding, Leesa, Nolah, Bear, and a few others are all 3Z’s brands made in Arizona at the same factory.
- Helix Midnight *Elite* (edit, incorrectly wrote luxe) was a winner but… there were two things I didn’t love. While being super comfortable, supportive overall with great edge and mid support, and felt cool - it had a little more spring than I liked, and was slightly firmer than some other beds. Part of the firmness and spring comes from having two levels of springs. One at the lower level and micro springs higher up. It’s also priced as a premium option. While cheaper than Tempurpedic and Beauty Rest, it’s just not an amazing value option where you must love it to pay $3k+. At $2k or slightly above, this would have been an instant buy for me. (Edit for clarity: Luxe didn’t feel as supportive, or overall as nice as more expensive Luxe)
- Nolah Evolution felt remarkably similar to Midnight *Elite* for being half the price. It’s not quite as supportive, doesn’t have as much spring feel, but felt “right” for someone wanting something between medium and soft. I loved this bed. While I preferred Helix slightly, at half the price - I almost bought this because it’s insane value and very comfortable.
- Leesa was not my thing. They had sent me a targeted offer for Legend Chill which was a great value at almost 50% off retail and had great reviews. I just didn’t want to mess with this if I couldn’t try it. The two I tried in store didn’t feel as substantial to me. The Legend Chill was not something I could try, but I tried the Sapira and it was too floppy and so cheaply made that I could feel the coils on the side so took a pass.
- Wink Bed. I tried firm and soft. It’s a quality and comfortable bed, but I hated this bed in both feels because it was way too springy for my taste. I come from Tempurpedic and Sealy gel foam beds and my partner can feel any move I made. People seem to love or hate this bed. The store owner told me he sells a lot of them, but it’s returned sometimes because of firmness or spring.
- Brooklyn Bedding. I tried the CopperFlex, Signature, Aurora. I liked them all, and prices were great, but I didn’t love any of these. I preferred the Helix Elite and Nolah Evolution, and the Nolah price is just phenomenal.
- Puffy. This felt great and supportive. I love their highest end bed the most, but it’s a little too firm for my taste, and moved more than I liked. It barely fit my below $3,500 range and I preferred other options.
- Saatva. I loved the RX bed. It’s a softer Helix Midnight Elite, but you can feel the movement slightly more. If this were cheaper, I would have bought this. The classic was way too firm and springy for my taste. The full memory foam bed they made was actually phenomenal. It was the only all foam bed I found as good as temperpedic, and could have happily bought that or Rx.
- Tempurpedic. Great for my taste, but too expensive to get one of their premium beds.
What did I buy?
Thermo Balance Elite from Brooklyn Bedding.
Why?
I called 3Z’s. I told them exactly what I said above about their beds on their various brands versus others and what I wanted. They said the best option for a very supportive bed like the Helix Midnight Elite that was my favorite, but had more cooling, less movement (1 coil set, no micro coil), and very slightly less firmness on the medium firmness was the Thermo Balance Elite in Medium. I asked why elite and not the cheaper version, and they said it has an improved spring system for middle support and higher density premium phase change foam. They also said if I don’t love the bed, they’d give me back $1,200 and switch me out to a Nolah bed.
My Thermo balance elite comes next week, and it was $600+ cheaper than Helix Midnight Luxe. I didn’t want to buy a bed I didn’t try, but they gave me a great price, promised me a refund of $1,200 and a replacement to Nolah Evolution bed (which i did try and like) if I wasn’t happy. So my advice is give the Midnight Luxe time if you do have it, and then if you don’t love it, don’t keep it. It’s an expensive bed and 3Z’s has a ton of great options, and Saatva does too.
I hate my mattress. I'm always waking up with a sore back and neck pain, but not really surprised 'cause it's a couple of years old already lol.
I've managed to set aside 600 for a mattress. In that price range, what's the best I can get? I'm around 170 lbs and am a side sleeper btw! I also sweat a bit at night, so something with good breathability would be nice.
PS sorry for posting here if mattress questions aren't allowed. I'd post on r/Mattress but I feel like everybody there's just repeating what mattress sellers there tell them
ETA: Finally replaced it with the Brooklyn Bedding Copperflex and the difference is night and day! Thanks for mentioning it btw!
