“I'm a fan of Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe medium firmness (which is what I'd consider absolute top of the line)”
“About two months ago, I ordered the Brooklyn bedding, Aurora Luxe, medium with pillow top. It was okay, overall pretty good but for side sleeping it wasn’t enough pressure relief for my broad shoulders.”
“It doesn’t work for side sleeping for me. I wake up in the middle of the night with low back soreness and hip pain.”
“I went with the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling in a medium. It felt kinda similar to the iseries 1000 but cheaper. So far it's been okay.”
“I just recently got a Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe and it’s the best mattress I have ever owned. Highly recommend them. Made in AZ and not mass produced in China.”
“It’s been about 2 months now. We are mainly side sleepers, both average height and weight. She’s really enjoys the mattress, but I’m waking up in pain, tossing and turning from pressure point aches. I wanted to enjoy this mattress, but so far not a big fan.”
“So I’ve been using the *Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe* in “Soft,” and honestly, I think it’s as plush as I’d ever want to go. It has this almost pillow-top cloud feel but without being floppy or too warm, which I was worried about. I’m about 160 lbs and mostly sleep on my side, and I don’t bottom out or anything. My only gripe? It’s pretty heavy, so rotating”
“At first, we were skeptical about the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling, as it requires an initial break-in period. However, after a week or so, I must say that it is, I think, one of the best mattresses I've ever slept on. It was not as expensive as similar mattress brands, had better cooling technology than most comparable options, and featured zoned s”
“that was one of the biggest disappointments to me about the aurora, the lack of change in temperature.”
“I loved how soft it felt, but would agree that it sometimes felt like it was sinking/sagging instead of just soft . I am about 130 pounds and 5’4. I did love the mattress, but it was a bit too soft.”
“I went with the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Firm, I'm 195lbs 5' 11" and Im pretty happy with it. ZERO to no sinkage so it only dips where necessary.”
“I returned the mattress after having the same experience as you.”
“I ended up getting a firm Aurora and it’s dreadful.”
“The aurora is nice so far, it's only been about a month.”
“Replaced it with a Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe (king) that I got on sale for under $2,000 with the foundation and cooling mattress protector. Best bed I've ever slept on.”
“Received the bed and I really dislike it. My husband can sleep on anything so he is totally fine but I feel like it has no support. The top layer is squishy, which I like (though I kind of prefer a quilted feeling) but then it feels like there is no support below it. Like I feel like we are hammocking in the bed, like it's sucking me in.”
“I have a Brooklyn bedding aurora luxe which has the glacio cover for cooling. It's definitely worth it, atleast for me when coming from a standard 9 year old dream foam memory foam bed.”
“I (140 lb side sleeper) was not impressed in the least. I tried really hard to like it, but it felt no different than my generic pillow top and spring mattress I'm looking to replace. Actually, my 10 year old mattress felt better. I didn't feel "held," it was soft in the sense that it sank, but it felt cheap and a bit bouncy if that makes sense.”
“Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling. Most comfortable mattress for side sleepers with joint pain & the cooling is helpful too. Seven years so far, no complaints.”
“It's what I use and it's insanely comfortable. It basically solved my pain issues.”
“Very happy with my Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe. I need a firm mattress but husband likes a soft top. The Aurora has good support underneath but the pillow top is very cushy. I was actually worried at first that it was too soft but once the topper broke in a bit, I was sold. I can feel the support under the cloud.”
“I have a similar sleeping situation and ended up choosing the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling in medium firmness. I also purchased the Coop Eden pillow. Since switching, my hip pain and joint pain have disappeared, and I'm getting an excellent night's sleep. I’m very pleased with both the mattress and the pillow.”
“We ended up going with Brooklyn Bedding (Aurora Luxe Cooling). The mattress is cool to the touch and I feel really does reduce the amount of heat being pushed on to you. I believe it evenly disperses the heat build up our bodies produce as I have not had one hot night yet. Overall the bed is super comfortable for both myself and my wife. Its very comfortab”
“I think it's starting to soften a bit so I'm glad I gave it more time! I was panicking and almost emailed BB but turns out I just needed to be a little more patient lol. Thanks for sharing your experience! I think I made the right mattress choice 💗”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“I've been sleeping on this mattress now for about 2 days and so far I've been waking up with shoulder pain and I have no idea if it's the way I've been sleeping or if it's just the mattress.”
“YES, I had this early on. It's not uncommon with this bed. I had to use my own topper for a month and walk on the top of the mattress until I could comfortably take the topper off. Now, it's a lot better.”
“Pillow top makes it softer but you still get the firm base for back sleepers”
“It's softer than I expected.”
“it is pretty plush/loose”
