Mattresses are the one part of your home that you spend more time with than almost anything else—and yet they’re one of the easiest things to overlook when you’re thinking about your next upgrade. It can be tough to know for sure whether you’ll like a mattress, either because you’re not sure what firmness or material your current mattress is made out of or simply because you don’t get to try many of the models you may be considering.
The good news is, you don’t have to! Today we’re covering the Brooklyn Aurora so that you can make an informed choice about the mattress that might work best for you. Here’s what you need to know.
First of all, the Aurora from Brooklyn Bedding is an award-winner, coming in as best a 2022 winner of Good Housekeeping’s “Best Bedding” award and taking US News’ “Best Cooling Mattress 2022” title. These are just a few of the many accolades that the Aurora has nabbed since its inception, and for good reason.
The Aurora comes in six sumptuous layers in a hybrid format, meaning there’s both memory foam and traditional coils. This is great for those who need a bit more support in their foam mattresses so they don’t sink too deeply and end up in unnatural or uncomfortable positions. Plus, with 0% financing available on the Aurora, Brooklyn is making this mattress even more affordable than it already is.
What sleeping positions are best on the Aurora?
The Aurora truly is one of the most customizable mattresses we’ve ever seen, which means you can create a configuration that perfectly suits you—no matter what position you sleep in. The Aurora comes in multiple firmness levels, and soft is best for those who sleep on their side.
Medium firmness is an all-purpose choice, with combination, side, back, and stomach sleepers all finding an easy night’s rest. For those who need more robust support, the firm option can help stomach and back sleepers keep their spine aligned like it should be.
Is there a weight limit for the Aurora?
The Aurora stands out among its peers for its weight capacity—whereas most mattresses and especially hybrids will support a maximum of only 350 pounds, the Aurora can manage up to 450 with no problem for a total of 900 pounds of support. And better yet, this is true no matter the size of the mattress you get, which means that you’re no longer forced to shell out for the biggest size in order to get the highest weight capacity. This makes the Aurora a suitable choice for many families or single sleepers.
How does it feel to sleep on an Aurora?
The Aurora was constructed with comfort in mind, and it shows in its varied layer structure. The GlacioTex cooling cover works hard to keep heat away from your body, and other sleepers have noted that it’s the coolest mattress they’ve ever slept on. The memory foam is a mix of standard foam and gel to ensure that all bases are covered when it comes to luxurious support, and you’ll find that the sleep quality is consistent rather than experiencing patchy areas, some firmer than others. Overall, the sleep quality on an Aurora leads it to be one of the top picks in the industry.
How the Aurora by Brooklyn is made
As mentioned previously, the Aurora is made up of six individual layers that work synergistically to ensure that you get a good night’s sleep. At the very top is the aforementioned GlacioTex cooling cover that is specifically designed to keep heat from pooling around your body while you sleep. Beneath this is a copper infused layer that uses conduction to further carry heat away from you. Plus, as an added benefit, bacteria have a hard time thriving around copper, which means that your bed will stay cleaner than a standard mattress over time.
Three layers in, you’ll meet the Aurora’s specialty memory foam that immediately adjusts to your body’s unique shape. Areas of impingement and heavy pressure will be gently supported without causing discomfort. This is partially due to the memory foam’s cooperative relationship with the gel foam layer underneath, which diffuses the pressure away from your most sensitive contact points, like the hip bones and shoulders.
Underneath the adaptive memory foam sits the coils that make the Aurora a hybrid mattress option. These zoned Ascension coils are strategically placed to distribute your weight and support the areas of your body that need it, keeping your spine straight at all times. Beneath the coils, a high density foam base supports the coils as they compress under your weight so that they can continue to provide a consistent support layer without feeling patchy and rough. This also keeps the bed in rigid shape, so it won’t cave on the edges under your weight.Is there a weight limit for the Aurora?
