Waking up in the middle of the night feeling hot and drenched in sweat is one of the biggest sleep complaints we hear at Sleepopolis. If you’re seeking a mattress that prioritizes cooling, you may be interested in the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress. This hybrid bed contains foams infused with copper and gel to help dissipate heat, as well as tall innerspring coils that encourage airflow.
I’m a certified sleep science coach and have been testing and reviewing mattresses with Sleepopolis for three years. I’ve been trained to recognize key mattress performance factors to make recommendations to sleepers based on their individual body type, sleeping position, and sleep preferences. Our team of expert testers has tested more than 330 mattresses in our studio based in Charlotte, NC using a rigorous testing methodology.
Sleepopolis also works with a network of sleep experts and medical professionals, such as board-certified doctors, physical therapists, and registered nurses to help determine the best mattresses for specific sleepers from a medical perspective. We work especially closely with our chief medical advisor, Dr. Raj Dasgupta MD, FACO, FCCP, FAASM, who ensures our recommendations are accurate.
When we tested the Aurora Luxe, we found it to be firm and supportive, making it a great match for back and stomach sleepers. We were also impressed with its cooling abilities, which earned a full 5 out of 5 stars on our tests, which I’ll dive into below.
The Brookyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress is one of Brooklyn Bedding’s more high-end mattresses. It has a ton of cooling features in it that can help hot sleepers sleep cool all night. It’s also available in three different firmnesses, so it can accommodate a variety of sleeping positions and body types. For more information, check out our video review.
What our tester says:
“Back sleepers should find enough support to promote proper spinal alignment while also getting a bit of cushioning at the lumbar region. And the cooling, motion isolation, edge support, and responsiveness scores indicate the Aurora Luxe is a great match for couples.” – Riley Otis, staff writer and certified sleep science coach
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress Overview
The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is a hybrid mattress offered in three different firmness levels — Soft, Medium, and Firm. We tested the Medium model in our studio and rated it a 7 out of 10 on our firmness scale, meaning it’s definitely a firm bed. The mattress is super-supportive, and we felt great spinal alignment in the back- and stomach-sleeping positions.
This bed is 13.25 inches tall and packed with layers of memory foam and a tall section of individually wrapped coils. Although foam has a reputation for trapping heat, the Aurora Luxe contains both copper and gel infusions that help draw heat away from the body. The foams are also CertiPUR-US certified, which means they’re made without heavy metals, harmful chemicals, or ozone depleters.
This bed stood out to us as one of the best mattresses for couples. We found excellent motion isolation, edge support, cooling, and responsiveness during testing, all of which are important factors for sleeping with a partner. When we combined the Aurora Luxe’s scores from eight testing categories, it earned an impressive 4.9 out of 5 stars overall.

Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Value
When we assess a mattress’s value, we look at its materials and whether their quality and the bed’s performance match its price point. The Aurora Luxe is a luxury mattress made with very high-quality materials that have passed rigorous testing standards to obtain third-party certifications. We found these materials to be durable, and we were very impressed with the mattress’s overall performance on our tests.
Luxury mattresses like this one typically come at a higher price point. Although the Aurora Luxe isn’t the most expensive bed we’ve seen, it’s among the pricier options. While I think you’re getting a lot for your money here, there are many cheaper mattresses on the market with similar materials and performances, so I think this bed could stand to be a bit less expensive. .
What Is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Made Of?
We evaluate a mattress’s materials by cutting into the side of the mattress and examining each layer to ensure it matches the company’s online description.
The Aurora Luxe is a 13.25-inch tall mattress offered in Soft, Medium, and Firm models. Assembled in the Brooklyn Bedding Arizona facility, this bed is GREENGUARD Gold certified and made with CertiPUR-US foams. It’s a bed-in-a-box mattress, so it will arrive at your door compressed in a box and ready to unwrap.
When we cut into the Aurora Luxe, we found a hybrid construction that included layers of thick memory foam infused with cooling materials and eight inches of supportive coils.
Cover – The mattress comes with a soft, cool-to-the-touch cover infused with Brooklyn Bedding’s proprietary Glaciotex fibers. This is a phase-change material (PCM) designed to dissipate body heat. For an extra charge, you can add a 2-inch Cloud pillow top layer, which adds a bit more body contouring.
Comfort Layer – Here we find a 1.5-inch layer of the brand’s CopperFlex foam, which is copper-infused and treated with another cooling PCM, TitanCool.
Contour Layer – Next is a 2-inch layer of TitanFlex foam, which is more responsive than traditional memory foam and adds additional cushioning around the body’s pressure points.
Transition Layer – A 1-inch layer of firm, responsive gel memory foam transitions the sleeper onto the supportive coils below, while also helping with temperature regulation.
Support Layer – A tall, 8-inch section of pocketed coils adds additional support to the mattress and allows for airflow and breathability.
Base Layer – The bed is rounded out with a 0.75-inch section of high-density foam that gives the coils something to bounce off.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress Firmness
Firmness can be a difficult factor to pin down, as it’s pretty subjective. What feels too firm to one sleeper could feel just right to someone with a different body type or preferred sleeping position. To provide the most accurate assessment of firmness, we invite several expert testers to lie on the mattress in three sleeping positions (back, side, and stomach). Each tester provides their personal firmness score, and then we average them together to create the final firmness rating. We rate firmness on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest. We consider a score of 6.5 out of 10 to represent a true medium-firm feel, which is the most common mattress firmness.
The Aurora Luxe ended up falling at a 7.5 out of 10 on our firmness scale, meaning it’s a solidly firm bed that still includes a bit of contouring and sinkage.The top layers of foam allow for pressure to be relieved around the shoulders and hips, while the coils below lift the sleeper up and out of the mattress. You’ll likely feel more “on” the bed than “in” the bed.
When our tester Sosha Lewis evaluated the Aurora Luxe’s firmness, she found a balanced and supportive feel that’s most compatible with back and stomach sleeping, which we’ll dive deeper into later in this review. While it doesn’t provide enough sinkage and body contouring in the side-sleeping position, it’s supportive enough to prop the spine into neutral alignment when on your back or stomach.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress Performance
When selecting a new mattress, there are a few performance factors you’ll want to consider. Our testers Sosha Lewis, Erin Chiles, Asha Birjah, and Caine Wilkes — all of whom fall into different categories of weight and body type — came together in our Sleepopolis testing studio to assess the Aurora Luxe’s performance in pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, cooling, and edge support.
Our tests collect qualitative and quantitative data to provide shoppers with a large scope of how the bed may feel for them. Below, I’ll briefly summarize each test and how the Aurora Luxe performed.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Pressure Relief Performance
Regardless of your body type and preferred sleeping position, pressure relief is an important element of any mattress. According to our Chief Medical Advisor Dr Raj Dasgupta, the best mattress for pressure relief includes contouring materials that provide cushioning at the hips and shoulders, such as memory foam. The Aurora Luxe contains three top layers of foam, so we had high hopes for this bed.
We test pressure relief by rolling a specialized mat onto the mattress and lying on it in the side- and back-sleeping positions. The mat is able to sense where pressure is building on the body and translate the results into a color-coded graphic using thermal imaging. Areas displaying blue and green means pressure is low and pain is unlikely to occur. Red and yellow indicate a buildup in pressure, which could lead to new pain forming or preexisting pain worsening.
When it comes to pressure relief, your body type will likely determine the results. For example, heavy sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds sink further into a mattress’s layers and typically experience them as softer than average. In contrast, lightweight sleepers under 130 pounds don’t sink very far into the foam, causing beds to feel firmer. To get a deeper perspective on how the Aurora Luxe performs for different body types, we had our three testers of different weight classes try the bed on both their back and sides.
We found an average pressure relief score of 3.7 out of 5 stars in the side-sleeping position and 4.7 out of 5 stars in the back-sleeping position. When we average these scores together, we get an overall pressure relief rating of 4.2 stars.
Overall, our testers felt the most pressure relief when back sleeping. Our pressure map provides us with each tester’s average pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI) on their back, which we then compare to the overall average back-sleeping PSI across all mattresses we’ve tested, which is 12.4. If our testers have an average PSI lower than or equal to 12.4, it means the bed is providing excellent pressure relief. Our lightweight and average-weight testers had average back-sleeping PSI scores of 10.8 and 12.5, respectively, meaning this bed is a good match for these body types in this position.
On her back, average-weight tester Sosha Lewis said, “My hips feel in good alignment with my shoulders. The foam is filling in the space at my lumbar region, and it actually seems to be relieving some pain in my lower back. I don’t feel any pressure building in my lower back or hips.”
Caine Wilkes, who falls into our heavy-tester weight class, had an average back-sleeping PSI of 14.8. Although this is slightly higher than the overall average, he still found the Aurora Luxe compatible with back sleeping. “I feel supported and my spine is aligned,” Caine said. “There’s no extra pressure around my lower back or hips, and I feel very balanced.”
Our testers felt less pressure relief when side sleeping. The average side-sleeping PSI is 14.9, and only our lightweight tester, Asha Birjah, had a PSI score lower than that. However, she still reported feeling pressure building at her shoulders and neck. The average-weight and heavy testers also felt a bit of pressure forming at their shoulders, with not enough sinkage to cushion this sensitive joint. While they both felt good spinal alignment, we would only recommend side sleeping to those who prefer a very firm feel. Sleepers with preexisting shoulder pain should seek a softer bed that allows more contouring in this area.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Motion Isolation
People who sleep with a partner may want to pay extra attention to this section. When we talk about motion isolation, we’re referring to the mattress’s ability to absorb a sleeper’s movement and prevent their partner from feeling it. If you tend to toss and turn, a bed with good motion isolation can prevent you from disturbing your partner’s sleep, especially if they’re easily awakened. Dr. Raj also notes that a bed’s motion-isolating abilities can speak to its overall quality and durability. We evaluated the Aurora Luxe’s motion isolation using a ripple test and a partner test, for which the bed earned an overall score of 4.7 out of 5 stars.
We start with the ripple test, which involves placing a full tub of water on one side of the mattress and then getting in bed and rolling around on the other side to simulate typical nighttime movement. We then observe the water and how our motion impacted it. If the water remains flat and only slightly ripples, the mattress is preventing movement from traveling and impacting the sleeper on the other side. When Sosha performed this test, she saw no splashing or spillage and overall minimal movement. These are excellent results, so she gave the ripple test 5 stars.
For our partner test, we have one tester lie on the mattress wearing a blindfold while another tester gets in and out of bed and switches sleeping positions next to them. The blindfolded tester raises their hand every time they can detect motion. During this test, Sosha said, “I would feel my partner getting in and out of bed, but it was minimal. I didn’t find it disturbing at all. I could feel her tossing and turning slightly, but I would still recommend this bed to couples.” She ended up awarding this test 4 out of 5 stars.
Based on its 4.7-star motion isolation, we think the Aurora Luxe is a great option for couples. Even if you’re a light sleeper, you’re unlikely to be awakened by a restless partner next to you. While you may feel some slight disturbance, this bed has better motion isolation than most mattresses we’ve tested.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Responsiveness
Responsiveness refers to the rate at which a mattress bounces back after weight has been applied. Typically, hybrid mattresses like the Aurora Luxe are more responsive than all-foam mattresses due to the inclusion of springy coils. Since this mattress is pretty firm, it’s easy to move around on and you won’t feel stuck in the foam layers. We gave the Aurora Luxe 5 stars for responsiveness based on these four tests.
Switch test: This test is simple — a tester lies on the bed and moves from their back to their side to their stomach and takes note of how easy it is and whether there’s any bounce to assist their movement. When Sosha performed the switch test, she gave it 5 stars, saying, “It’s super-easy to move around on. I could switch to and from any sleeping position with minimal effort.”
Responsiveness test: Next, we time how long it takes for the mattress to return to its original shape after weight has been removed. I placed a 53-pound kettlebell on the bed for 7 seconds and then pulled it straight up. A stopwatch showed it took between 1 second and 1.5 seconds for the mattress to bounce back, which earns 3 stars.
Sinkage test: I then grabbed the kettlebell again, placed it on the center of the bed, and allowed it to fully sink in. I used a ruler to measure exactly how far it sank and found 2.5 inches of sinkage. This is lower than the 3.25-inch average, which isn’t surprising considering it’s a pretty firm mattress. This qualifies as “light sinkage,” which is consistent with the “on top of the bed” feel our testers noted.
Bounce test: Finally, we measured how bouncy the Aurora Luxe is. We climbed up a ladder until we were 6 feet above the mattress and dropped a 25-pound steel ball onto its surface. A yardstick on the wall allowed us to see exactly how high the ball rebounded, which was 16 inches. This height earns 5 stars and is classified as “high bounce.” The average mattress has “moderate bounce,” so the Aurora Luxe is bouncier than most beds on the market.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling
If you sleep hot, you may want a mattress with cooling materials and a construction that promotes airflow. Luckily, the Aurora Luxe was designed specially for hot sleepers to feel cooler nights. We put it to the test using a thermal gun test, a cover test, and a feel test to create a final cooling score of 5 stars.
Thermal Gun test: We use a thermal gun to measure how a mattress responds to body heat. First, we record the initial temperature of the mattress before anyone has touched it. Then, a tester lays down for five minutes before recording the mattress’s temperature again and calculating the increase. If the temperature increases by fewer than 5 degrees, we consider it to have excellent cooling. An increase of 5 to 10 degrees indicates good cooling, 10 to 15 degrees indicates decent cooling, and more than 15 degrees indicates poor cooling.
When Sosha performed this test, the Aurora Luxe went from 68.5 degrees to 72.5 degrees. This is only a 4-degree increase, which is phenomenal and indicates excellent cooling abilities.
Cover test: For this test, we had Sosha feel the surface of the bed and note whether it felt cool to the touch. Sosha instantly noticed a cool sensation, which is likely due to the phase change material infused into the cover.
Feel test: While Sosha was lying on the Aurora Luxe for 5 minutes, we asked her to pay attention to the way the mattress felt under her body and whether she observed it warming up. When the 5 minutes were up, she said the bed felt cool throughout the entire test and she didn’t notice it heating up at all.
Based on the above tests, I would definitely recommend the Aurora Luxe to hot sleepers. In fact, I think it’s one of the best cooling mattresses on the market.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Edge Support
Edge support refers to the strength of the bed’s perimeter. When we evaluate edge support, we look for minimal sinkage when sitting or lying directly on the side of the mattress. Ideally, the edges should be just as supportive as the very center of the bed. This can be especially important to sleepers with mobility issues, as it allows them to use the edge to aid getting in and out of bed. Couples and solo sleepers can both benefit from strong edges that allow them to fully spread out and use the entire surface of the bed, which can make it feel larger. We tested edge support on the Aurora Luxe using a tape measure test, a seated test, and a full body test to create a final score of 4.4 stars.
Tape Measure test: This test, which we also call the weighted edge support test, involves stacking weighted plates together to simulate three body types – a 99-pound sleeper, a 154-pound sleeper, and 198-pound sleeper. We place each weight stack directly on the edge of the mattress and use a tape measure to measure how much the layers collapse. From the lightest to the heaviest stacks, the sinkage went from 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches to 4.5 inches. Although there was more sinkage as more weight was added, I was overall impressed with how strong these edges stood, so this test earned 4.3 stars.
Seated test: As its name implies, this test involves someone sitting directly on the edge of the mattress. We ask this tester to stand up several times and observe how secure they feel and whether they feel at risk of slipping off the bed. When Sosha performed this test, she thought the edges were solid and didn’t feel like she was about to fall. She did note that she is slightly too short to place her feet flat on the ground when sitting, which is due to the bed’s 13.5-inch height. This made it more difficult for her to stand up, which could impact people with mobility issues. She ended up rating this test 4 stars.
Full body test: Sosha felt even more stable when lying directly on the Aurora Luxe’s edges. Regardless of her sleeping position, she felt supported and lifted. Sometimes, edge support feels weaker when side sleeping due to the risk of toppling over. But, according to Sosha, “The edge support is great when lying on your side.” She noted that couples will be able to fully spread out and use the full area of the bed, so she awarded this test 5 stars.
Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Mattress Performance for Couples
If you sleep with a partner, you may want to pay attention to cooling, motion isolation, edge support, and responsiveness, as these are most relevant to sharing a bed. Based on Aurora Luxe’s performance in these categories, I think it’s one of the best mattresses for couples.
This mattress earned the full 5 stars in both the cooling and responsiveness categories. Since two bodies heat up quicker than just one, cooling abilities are essential to preventing overheating. Responsiveness is also important to sexually active couples, as it allows them to easily move from one position to the next.
With 4.7-star motion isolation, we think couples will be able to toss and turn at night without waking each other up. They’ll also be able to spread out due to the 4.4-star edge support, so the mattress will likely feel even larger.
Other Performance Factors to Consider
While those tests covered a lot, we’re not quite done with the Aurora Luxe. There are a few more things you’ll want to keep in mind before confirming your purchase.
Sex
We create our overall sex score based on responsiveness, cooling, and edge support. The best mattresses for sex are bouncy and easy to move around on, which helps couples switch positions without feeling trapped in the bed’s layers. They also have cooling properties to prevent overheating and strong edges that allow you to use the entire surface of the bed during sex. Based on the 5-star responsiveness, 5-star cooling, and 4.4-star edge support, the Aurora Luxe earns 4.8 stars for sex, making it an excellent option.
Noise
Our tester Carter Coughlin tested the Aurora Luxe for noise by compressing its layers, rolling around, and sitting on the bed. He ended up giving it 3 stars for noise because he could hear some sound coming from the mattress. “The mattress makes a slight crinkling sound when compressed,” he said. “Sitting on the mattress or changing positions is sufficient to create the noise, but it’s not likely to be disruptive to sleep.”
Base Compatibility
If you own an adjustable base, the Aurora Luxe may not be compatible. When Carter placed the bed on an adjustable base, he said, “The firmness of the structure does not allow it to bend at all, and it remains almost completely flat even with the base in the zero gravity setting.” According to the Brooklyn Bedding website, the best bed frame for this mattress is a solid foundation with minimal to no flex.
Durability
Since you’ll be sleeping on your new mattress every night, you’ll want to be sure it will last a long time. We evaluate durability by looking at the materials, support, edge support, and warranty. Strong support in both the center and perimeter of the mattress can prevent the bed from sagging prematurely. The quality of materials can also affect durability, as cheaper materials tend to deteriorate quickly. The warranty period also shows the brand’s confidence in its product and how long the mattress is expected to last.
Overall, I think the Aurora Luxe is a very durable mattress. This bed is super supportive due to its 8-inch layer of pocketed coils, and this support extends right up to the very edge of the mattress. This indicates that the mattress will stand strong for years to come and won’t start dipping at the sides. I’m also impressed with the quality of the materials, which have met rigorous third-party standards to obtain certifications for safety. Finally, the bed comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so Brooklyn Bedding stands behind the product’s longevity.

Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Sleeping Position and Body Weight
Your body type and sleeping position can largely determine how a mattress will feel for you. For example, something that feels firm to a lightweight side sleeper could be just right for an average-weight back sleeper. To get a better understanding of who the Aurora Luxe is ideal for, we brought in three testers of different weights and had them try the bed on their backs, sides, and stomachs. Below, I’ll break down each weight category and how the bed may feel in different sleeping positions.
Before we dive into our recommendations, though, we want to recognize that people come in all shapes and sizes, and people of every size deserve a mattress that works for their body type. We use the weight categories light, average, and heavy to more easily categorize sleepers based on how mattresses will perform for their body type, as most mattresses are designed for the group we call “average” (130 to 230 pounds).
As a general takeaway, lighter sleepers don’t require as much support as average-weight sleepers, and mattresses will tend to feel firmer to them. On the other hand, heavy sleepers tend to need more support than average-weight sleepers and tend to sink into the mattress more. As far as sleeping positions go, side sleepers tend to need a softer mattress while stomach sleepers usually need a firmer, more supportive one. Back sleepers are usually somewhere in the middle.
Is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – These sleepers should try the Soft model with more sinkage and contouring at the hips and shoulders to prevent pressure from building.
- Light Side Sleepers – The mattress should help keep the sleeper in a straight neutral line while also providing some slight cushioning at the lower back and hips.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – The firmness level is perfect for keeping these sleepers’ hips in line with their shoulders, thus preventing lower back pain.
Is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe a Good Mattress for Average-Weight Sleepers (130–230 pounds)?
- Average-Weight Back Sleepers – Sleepers who prefer a very firm feel may like this mattress, but we’d recommend the Soft model to prevent pressure at the hips and shoulders.
- Average-Weight Side Sleepers – These sleepers should find proper spinal alignment and enjoy some cushioning at their lower back for additional lumbar support.
- Average-Weight Stomach Sleepers – Stomach sleepers can enjoy the firmness level that helps keep the spine aligned and prevent lower back pain.
Is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 230 pounds)?
- Heavy Back Sleepers – These sleepers will find more sinkage at their hips, but overall good spinal alignment. They can opt for the Firm model for even more support.
- Heavy Side Sleepers – We don’t recommend the Aurora Luxe to these sleepers, as they’ll likely experience shoulder pressure.
- Heavy Stomach Sleepers – The Firm model should be supportive enough for these sleepers, as the Medium allows just a tad too much sinkage at the hips.

Our Review Process
At Sleepopolis, our team of certified sleep science coaches personally test each mattress. We start by unboxing the mattress to figure out how difficult (or easy) it is to get the mattress from the box to the bed. Then, we spend time lying on the bed in different positions, taking time to assess it on our backs, stomachs, and sides. Next, we perform our Sleepopolis tests, using specialized tools to measure qualities like motion transfer, bounce, and pressure relief. Our last step is to open up the mattress and take a look at each layer. These steps allow us to give our final verdict on the mattress.
