Brooklyn Bedding - Plank Firm Natural

I have had my Plank Natural for less than a year and I’m looking for a replacement. It sags in the middle and now it is squeaking after a move.

Glad you’re back on this sub. I found you on MattressMod after you “left” this one. I’ve been lurking this sub for a couple of years. I must say that I got a little tired of Norm always raving about the Plank Luxe. At Norm’s recommendation I found a local store that had several Brooklyn Bedding brands to try out, which included the Plank Luxe, the Plank, and the Bear Hybrid all in firm. All were way too soft for me. I sank in (or my butt did) in all of them. I was looking for a firm mattress that didn’t feel like I was sleeping in it but rather on it. I’m also a mostly side and sometimes back sleeper. The guide about mattress firmness and side sleeping was a myth to me. I finally found my Goldilocks mattress. I was debating between the new model of Beautyrest World Class level four firm pillowtop and a private label store brand by Southerland. After reading your comments on r/mattressmod about the new World Class, I almost bought the Beautyrest. Both mattresses felt firm and supportive to me. I had a hard time choosing. I decided to go with the one by Southerland even though I had never heard of them before and it was more expensive. After the mattress was set up in my bedroom, I was admiring my new mattress and my decision, I thought I would look at the label to make sure I got what I ordered. The label stated it was a Grand Estate (or whatever the name was for the store’s private label) by Southerland manufactured by Brooklyn Bedding in Oklahoma! I was astonished 😧. I’ve had it for a couple of months now and love it. It was very, very firm when I got it but it’s softening a little now (or I’m getting used to the firmness).

I went with PLANK. Two sided, one side firm (8/9), flip it for extra firm(10). Had it for a couple of years and is holding up well. I went with the hybrid.

We have 2 mattresses from Brooklyn Bedding and have been happy with them. Our first one is 7 years old and we’re using it in our guest bedroom, everyone who sleeps on it comments that they have a great sleep. The one in our bedroom is 5 years old and we’ve had no issues with sagging or anything like that. I really like it and miss it when I’m away from home. Would buy from there again and they’re not crazy expensive.

I swear by my Brooklyn Bedding hybrid mattress. Heaviest at 290 it was perfect for me AND my husband who isn’t plus size. It was recommended to us by our friends and the guy is 6’2, 200 something with back problems and it is the best financial investment we have ever made.

u/Derek-naplab [Naplab.com](http://Naplab.com) Used them when I bought my last mattress and I love it so much. I ended up with the Brooklyn Bedding hybrid. I'm a large guy and my wife isn't small. We do rotate it when the time changes, so twice a year.

OK, I tried making a post about this but it kept getting deleted by filters. I'm shopping for a new mattress. I spent a week last month sleeping at my aunt and uncle's place where their guest bed is a Brooklyn Bedding Hybrid. I liked it pretty well, though it could have been, like, a notch softer. The problem is, they don't remember what firmness level they bought. I'm 5'9", \~230lbs and almost exclusively a side sleeper. I get pressure points in my hips/lower back and shoulders and can sometimes have problems with my bottom arm falling asleep. My question is, should I got with a medium from BB or go with the firm and get a topper if that's too firm? Is the topper you can bundle in with the mattress worth the \~$200 upcharge?

Where are you located? Check out SleePare which has like a dozen locations around the country. They have all the online brands in the store to try out and buy. I only learned of them years after I bought my last mattress. But I did a ton of online research and then also got overwhelmed and I decided to split the difference of all the things I vs my wife wanted to compromise. Ended up with a hybrid from Brooklyn Bedding and got lucky. We love it and have had it for 5 years now. Still love it. Brooklyn is great because they have 3 different options of firmness (soft, medium, or firm) for almost every mattress they carry.

I really liked my Brooklyn bedding mattress - lost it in a breakup or else I’d probably still be sleeping on it. I bought it maybe 8 years ago so hopefully quality is still the same. They’re pretty affordable so you could get the more premium version in your price range.

I've bought two Brooklyn bedding mattresses in the last eight years and one sealy (all different sizes) and the Brooklyn bedding ones have held up remarkably well with daily use and regular rotation (every six months). Unfortunately the ones that I've bought are no longer being sold but I've overall been happy with them as a company. Also their pillows are great!
