As the name suggests, the Propel Dual-Sided Hybrid mattress by Brooklyn Bedding is a two-for-one bed — because it’s flippable! Each side of this mattress has a different firmness level and feel. This allows the consumer to flip the mattress and sleep on the side best suited for their personal liking and needs. On top of being dual-sided, Brooklyn Bedding also claims this mattress can provide a restorative and soothing experience with its unique exterior fabric. 

Being both flippable and restorative could make a lot of sleepy ears perk up, but is the Propel Dual-Sided Hybrid the right bed for you? Below, I’ll explain what it’s made of, how both sides feel, and put both sides through a variety of tests to help answer that question. Keep reading for my full review or if you’re short on time, you can skip down to my review summary!

Is the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid a Good Mattress for You?

The Dual-Sided Propel Hybrid isn’t the first flippable mattress to hit the sleep world, but Brooklyn Bedding does say it’s unique in the way it offers recovery benefits. The company says there are materials on both sides of the mattress to “penetrate, soothe and stimulate local blood flow, enabling a more restorative sleep.” Although appealing in nature, the materials and feel of this bed will work better for some sleepers than others. So let’s first go over who I do and don’t recommend the Propel Hybrid for. 

Who I recommend the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid for

  • If you’re someone who likes to have options, then this flippable mattress is right up your alley. It has a soft side and a firm side you can try out. The 120-day trial period the mattress comes with gives you plenty of time to see which side you like best too. 
  • If you like sinking into a mattress, then the Propel Hybrid could be the right choice for you. It’s very cushiony and I feel like I’m sinking into a cloud on it (especially on the soft side). This feature also makes it a nice pick for back or side sleepers with aches or pains. 
  • I really like the cooling features this mattress offers. From the cool-to-the-touch cover, to the copper-infused foam, to the coils — this is a nice bed for my fellow hot sleepers out there. 

P1015235 scaled

Who I don’t recommend the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid for

  • Stomach sleepers will likely find both sides of this bed too soft. I found even the “firm” side of the mattress to allow my hips to sink in too far when laying on my stomach. These sleepers need a firm bed to keep their hips elevated and spine in alignment. You can check out our picks for the best mattresses for stomach sleepers for better options. 
  • If you like to feel more “on top” of a bed and not “in it,” then this probably isn’t the right choice for you. As mentioned, I definitely feel like I’m sinking into it and that it offers a contouring foam feeling. However, the firm side has less sinkage than the soft side [if you can tolerate a little bit of it]. 
  • If you prefer your bed to have some bounce, I’d look elsewhere. This bed has a foam feeling more than a bouncy, springy feel. I’d recommend looking for a traditional innerspring mattress instead.

How Firm is the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid?

It’s important to note firmness is subjective. How firm a mattress feels to you depends on your body weight, shape, and preferred sleeping position. I tested both the “soft” and “firm” sides of the Propel Hybrid myself, then polled a range of coworkers to get their opinions. I then averaged our scores and firmness levels together. 

Firmness brooklyn propel

We use a firmness scale of 1 to 10 at Sleepopolis with 6.5 being the standard for medium-firm. I gave the Propel Hybrid’s soft side a firmness rating of 3.5 out of 10 and I gave its firm side a rating of 6.5 out of 10 (meaning it’s more medium-firm than firm), so you can see there’s quite a difference in firmness between the two sides.

The Propel Hybrid is the type of mattress that when you sit or lay down on it, you feel like you’re submerging into foam. The soft side has a bit more of a sinking and memory foam feeling than the firm side, but you’re unlikely to feel “on top” of either side due to the top foam layers. The firm layer is more responsive than the soft, making it easier to move around on for combination sleepers.

Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid Performance

Now let’s go over a few important performance factors, including support in different sleeping positions, pain relief, and performance for couples. See below how the Propel Hybrid does in these categories.

Testing the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid in Different Sleeping Positions

Your body type and preferred sleeping position will help determine the type of mattress you need. You can see below who this bed will feel best for.

BBProepel Still07

Is the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?

  • Light Back Sleepers – I think light back sleepers should feel comfortable on both the firm and soft sides of the Propel Hybrid. It may come down to personal preference on whether these sleepers want the softer or firmer feel. 
  • Light Side Sleepers – I think both sides of the Propel Hybrid will work nicely for side sleepers and they should get the contouring they need. 
  • Light Stomach Sleepers – The firm side of this mattress should work for light stomach sleepers. However, the soft side will be too soft for them and won’t keep their hips elevated. 

Is the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid a Good Mattress for Average Weight Sleepers (130 – 250 pounds)?

  • Average Weight Back Sleepers – Both sides of the Propel Hybrid should work great for these sleepers. Both sides should keep them comfortable and supported. 
  • Average Weight Side Sleepers – I’d recommend the soft side of this mattress for average weight side sleepers. It should provide the needed pressure relief around their shoulders and hips. The firm side will work for some of these sleepers as well, but the soft side will offer much more contouring and sinkage at those pressure points. 
  • Average Weight Stomach Sleepers – Both sides of this bed are going to be too soft for these sleepers. I’d suggest they look for a firmer option in our roundup of best mattresses for stomach sleepers instead. 

P1015239 scaled

Is the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 250 pounds)?

  • Heavy Sleepers – Although I think some heavy sleepers could be comfortable on this mattress, I’d recommend checking out our roundup of the best mattresses for heavy people for more supportive and comfortable options.  

Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid Pain Relief Performance

Pressure relief is important for a lot of people looking for a new mattress. If a mattress is good at relieving pressure, that can also lead to helping with joint and back pain. In order to test how well a bed provides pressure relief, I use a pressure map — which uses heat mapping technology to show where pressure’s building across my body when I lay on a bed. Results appear on a color-coded map: Blue/green show areas of low pressure, and red/orange show areas of high pressure.

Take a look at the results below, and then read on to see what they could mean if you sleep with pain.

Pressure map results from the Propel Hybrid firm side
Pressure map results from the Propel Hybrid firm side
Pressure map results from the Propel Hybrid soft side
Pressure map results from the Propel Hybrid soft side

Back Pain – You can see mainly blue when I’m on my back on both sides of the Propel Hybrid, which is great news for back sleepers with back pain. It’s also mainly blue and green when I’m on my side on both sides, showing it could provide nice relief for side sleepers with back pain. However, it’s too soft of an option for stomach sleepers with back pain since their hips won’t reach the right level of elevation. 

Shoulder Pain – Both the soft and firm side of this mattress show great results for back sleepers with shoulder pain. The soft side also shows great results for side sleepers with shoulder pain. There’s a touch of red forming at the shoulder on the firm side of the Propel Hybrid when laying on my side, so I’d suggest side sleepers with shoulder pain stick to the soft side. This mattress is too soft to help stomach sleepers with shoulder pain, as it will instead cause their hips to sink in too much – likely resulting in back pain. 

Hip Pain – Both sides of the Propel Hybrid performed well for back and side sleepers with hip pain. However, stomach sleepers will want to look for a firmer option to help alleviate pain, such as ones in our best firm mattress roundup.

Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid Performance for Couples

The best mattress for couples will often feature good motion isolation, responsiveness, cooling features, and edge support. Below I’ll go over why each of those features are important and go over how both sides of the Propel Hybrid perform in each area.

Motion Transfer

Motion transfer is a measure of how movement carries from one side of the bed to the other. If you share a bed with a partner or pet, this is a measure of how disturbed you’ll feel when they move around or get in and out of bed. To test motion transfer, I put a seismometer reader on the mattress, then dropped a 10-pound steel ball from various heights onto the other side of the bed.

MotionTransfer brooklyn propel soft

The seismometer results showed strong motion isolation on both sides of the Propel Hybrid. Based on these results, I wouldn’t think you’d be too disturbed by your partner or pet moving around in the night.

Sex

The best mattress for sex is bouncy and responsive, which makes it easy to move around. Since the firm side of the Propel Hybrid has less of a sinking-in feeling than the soft side, I’d say the firm side makes a better pick for sex.

Cooling

Couples tend to overheat more quickly than those who sleep alone, so they often want one of the best cooling mattresses. The Propel Hybrid has an Upcycle cover, which the company says will transform body heat into energy for restoration (I’ll explain more about the Upcycle cover later on in this review). The bed also features pocketed coils, which promote airflow and keep it cool for hot sleepers. If you want to explore more options for hot sleepers, you can check out our roundup of the best cooling mattresses.  

Edge Support

Edge support measures how well the perimeter of a bed supports weight. This is important if you like to sit or sleep near the side of the mattress or edge of the bed. Strong edge support can also make a bed feel larger, which allows couples to expand their sleep surface. I’d say both sides of the Propel Hybrid have average edge support, with the firm side being a little better. 

What is the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid Made Of?

Getting a look at the 13” Propel Hybrid’s layers inside will help determine how it could perform for you. See the layer breakdown below, with the soft side’s top layers on top, then the core layer, followed by the firm side’s top layers. 

Screen Shot 2022 02 09 at 12.21.17 PM e1644431351472

Cover — The cover of the Propel Hybrid is made with a European performance fabric that uses Upcycle technology. Brooklyn Bedding says this material has restorative benefits. It’s soft and cool to the touch, which is great for hot sleepers. 

Soft Side Top Layers: 

Top Layer — Below the cover is 2” of patented CopperFlex foam. This foam is soft, squishy, and cooling.

Second Layer — Next is 2” of Energex Foamthat aims to provide pressure point relief. It also acts as a comfort layer.  

Support Layer — The core layer of the mattress is 6” of individually encased Ascension coils®. These coils help promote motion isolation and add to the overall durability and support of the  mattress.

Firm Side Top Layers: 

Top Layer — The top layer of the firm side is 1” of CopperFlex™ foam that is meant to bring support and responsiveness. 

Second Layer — Below that is 2” of high-density foam to add to the firmness of this side. It also brings responsiveness and a cooling feel to the mattress, while acting as a comfort layer.

Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid Unboxing and Off-Gassing

Typical to most bed-in-a-box mattresses, the Propel Hybrid will have an off-gassing and decompression period after you unbox it. I’d recommend giving this bed about 24 hours to fully decompress after you unbox it. 

My Final Thoughts about the Propel Hybrid Mattress

Well, friends, we’ve made it to the end of my review! But before we wrap up, let’s go over my favorite (and not-so-favorite) components of this bed.

My favorite things about the Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid

I really like how the Propel Hybrid is flippable and allows people to pick which side feels better to them. Both sides have a nice cushiony feel, with the soft side being especially doughy for sleepers in need of pressure relief. I also really appreciate all the cooling features in the bed and think it’d be a great option for hot sleepers. 

My Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid complaints

Although there’s a firm side and a soft side, I think both are too soft for stomach sleepers. The firm side feels more like a medium-firm mattress to me, so stomach sleepers will want to look for a firmer mattress to keep their hips elevated.

Brooklyn Bedding Propel Hybrid Policies and FAQs

What are the Propel Hybrid’s shipping, trial period, returns and warranty information/policies?

The Propel Hybrid ships free to your door in a box and comes with a 120-night sleep trial period. If you don’t like it, you can return it for free within that period. But if you do like it, you have a 10-year warranty.

Where is the Propel Hybrid made?

It’s made in the USA, specifically in Arizona.

How is this mattress restorative?

Brooklyn Bedding says their fabric is restorative with what’s called Upcycle technology. Upcycle technology uses far-infrared rays, which are waves of energy. The company says they work with minerals encapsulated in the cover to turn your body’s heat into restorative energy. According to Brooklyn Bedding, this soothes your body and keeps you cool while you’re sleeping, ultimately enhancing your rest.

How can I extend the life of the mattress?

You can rotate the mattress 180 degrees every six to eight months.

Propel Hybrid Mattress Vs

Considering the Propel Hybrid but not fully sure it’s the right bed for you? Take a look below to see how it compares to two of its competitors: the Bear Star Hybrid and Zoma Hybrid.

Propel Hybrid Mattress vs Bear Star Hybrid Mattress

  • Both of these beds use materials that aim to be restorative for athletes and sleepers with sensitive areas. 
  • The Bear Star Hybrid (formerly known as the Bear Hybrid) is not a flippable mattress and has a slightly less than medium-firm feel, which will be similar to the Propel Hybrid’s firm side — but much firmer than the Propel Hybrid’s soft side.  
  • These mattresses are similar in price. 
  • Learn more in my Bear Star Hybrid mattress review.

Bear Star Hybrid Mattress

P1065006

We found a lot to love in the Bear Star Hybrid. While the lift of its pocketed coil system will leave you feeling more “on top” of the mattress than “in” it, its top layers of memory foam are going to provide you with plenty of pressure-relieving sinkage.

Propel Hybrid vs Zoma Hybrid Mattress

  • Both of these mattresses incorporate materials meant to be restorative for athletes and sleepers with sensitive joints. 
  • The Zoma Hybrid is not a flippable mattress. It has a firmness feel that’s right in between the Propel Hybrid’s soft side and firm side.
  • At full retail, the Zoma Hybrid is less expensive than the Propel Hybrid. 
  • Learn more in our Zoma Hybrid mattress review.

Zoma Hybrid Mattress

Zoma Hybrid

This mattress will appeal to side sleepers and those with hip pain because it uses a zoned support system that works nicely to keep the spine aligned. The softness of the foam is going to alleviate pressure in sensitive areas to help reduce pain while you sleep.

Other Models from Brooklyn Bedding

Brooklyn Bedding offers several different mattress models, and the Dual-Sided Hybrid Propel also comes in an all-foam option. Below, I compared the Dual-Sided Hybrid Propel Hybrid to the original EcoSleep mattress. But you can also find out more about the Brooklyn Bedding Signature, Aurora, Bowery, Bloom, Sedona, and Spartan mattresses in our Brooklyn Bedding mattresses comparison article

Dual-Sided Propel Hybrid vs EcoSleep

  • The EcoSleep is built with organic materials, like sustainably sourced wool and organic cotton. 
  • The EcoSleep has a firmer feel than the Propel Hybrid and will be a better match for stomach sleepers, while the Propel Hybrid will be better for side sleepers. 
  • The Propel Hybrid has more of a “sinking-in” feel, while the EcoSleep has more of an “on-top” feel. 
  • Check out our full EcoSleep mattress review to learn more!
