ThermoBalance LX

I bought the Thermo Balance Elite in medium. I’m very happy with it. I tried the non-elite and it felt similar but slightly less supportive overall, and the zoned coils felt slightly different. I also tried the Latex version, and it felt similar to non-elite but way softer and more conforming. The TB Elite in medium checked all the boxes for me. The Helix Midnight Elite (same parent company) was phenomenal IMO and I almost bought that. TBE just had less movement I could feel when my partner moved and felt slightly cooler - so those things clinched it.

So the TBE does have zoned coils and awesome lumbar support. The only bed I tried that was as good was Saatva RX and Helix Elite but I could feel movement more on those, and Saatva seemed warmer due to material choices. I was coming from Tempurpedic all foam bed and didn’t want a lot of movement. The TBE has more bounce (great for tossers) and support, but not feeling springy, and basically exactly what I wanted. It just doesn’t have another set of microcoils higher up the stack like Helix Midnight Elite. But the TB elite does has zoned coils and you’ll see that on the BB site as a difference. I also agree that Midnight Elite was softer, and part of why I went with TBE in medium.

I tried both, and preferred non-latex. The latex felt softer, which some might prefer, and cooling is hard to say because I didn’t sleep a night on either. Both seemed like great cooling. Non latex was just right for me overall in feel. Sinkage seemed similar enough to not be a factor really, but maybe slightly more sinkage on Latex IMO. People tend to either prefer latex or not, and I don’t prefer it usually. If you do, get the latex if you tried others and liked it. BB has good quality and you’d probably like it.

Similar situation. Thought Midnight Luxe was where we would land, then tried new Brooklyn Beding ThermoBalance LX Elite and liked it way more. Got it for only $150 more than Helix. Try one out if nearby.

I need some genuine recommendations. I have searched and search all over the Internet and watched multiple videos. I am truly looking for something that’s healthier and that doesn’t have a lot of chemicals. So far I really like these brands: Avocado - I really like the feel of their luxury mattress, but I’ve heard that there’s a lot of sagging on avocado mattresses really on in the mattress life. They’re also the most expensive one. Looking at 5k+ Naturepedic - I love the clean certifications at this brand offers. I haven’t found another mattress company that offer offers as many clean branding. They have a modular system and I worry because I’ve heard there is sagging in the middle of the mattress because they are essentially individual sides. Think of like 2 twins. 5k for price. Brooklyn Bedding - I loved the price and feel of the thermobalance. The sales representative said that they don’t use toxic materials, but I could not find the certifications when looking on the site. Looking at 2k. No, these are all king-size pricing. I was like input on any of these brands! I’m really trying to have a clean living space. Thanks! Edit: I also tried the Stearns & Foster Luxe soft pillow top and liked it. But I have a feeling it has a lot of chemically based materials in it.

Yeah I really liked it for the price point of the TB. I definitely like soft and I think I prefer foam over latex, but I am trying to go more natural. I wish My Green Mattress had a showroom out here to where I could try it. I can’t buy a bed without testing it first. Thanks for your input. I might go ahead and try the Brooklyn.

Switched from an ultra-plush memory foam mattress to a zoned hybrid because my hips kept sinking lower than the rest of me, and that turned out to be the whole issue. The soft bed felt cozy at first but after a few hours my body alignment was wrecked. Woke up every morning feeling like one hip had been carrying my entire skeleton overnight. The zoned support thing sounded gimmicky until I actually slept on it for a couple weeks. Firmer under the hips, softer near the shoulders. Mine’s a Brooklyn Bedding model and the difference was less about “firm vs soft” and more about staying level while side sleeping. Also noticed my pain got worse on nights where I curled up tightly, so posture still mattered too. Mattress helped, but it wasn’t magic by itself.

I have a spinal fusion and I'm a side sleeper; if a mattress doesn't have the right amount of "give" my hips and shoulders kill. I've sworn by the "soft" rated Brooklyn Bedding mattresses for years now. You sink in enough but not so much you feel like you have no support. It's a mix of latex and memory foam with a thick topper which I think makes a big difference. I've tried many of the store brands and bed in box brands and I haven't found anything as good.
