Is the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid a Good Mattress for You?

After testing out the Bowery Hybrid myself, I have a few recommendation to share on who exactly this mattress would be best for. Will my opinion of the Bowery Hybrid match up with your sleeping profile? Read below to find out.

Who I recommend the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid mattress for

Anyone looking for a quality mattress at an affordable price point should take a look at the Bowery. It uses some high-quality materials and has a decent trial and warranty.
The Bowery is a true medium-firm mattress and should work for a range of sleep positions, though I’d recommend it most to back sleepers or back and side combination sleepers.
Anyone in search of an “on top” of the bed feel. The Bowery is a bouncy mattress with a buoyant feel that you won’t sink into.

Who I don’t recommend the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid mattress for

I don’t think this is the best mattress for heavier sleepers. I think that they’ll sink through the Bowery’s foam layers and end up feeling the coils, which won’t be comfortable. However, Brooklyn Bedding does make a mattress specifically designed for heavier sleepers. If that’s you, I’d check out my Brooklyn Titan mattress review.
If you’re looking for some extra pressure relief and contouring, then this isn’t the mattress for you. You won’t sink into the Bowery, and that can be important for anyone with shoulder pain or hip pain. If that’s you, I’d recommend one of our best memory foam mattresses.

How Firm is the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress?

Construction specs aside, let’s get to know how the Brooklyn Bowery actually feels! To assess this, I’m going to put this mattress through a few tests, starting with one for firmness. As with all feel factors, firmness is subjective, and can change depending on your size, shape, or weight. Therefore, my read of the Bowery may differ from your own. For reference, I’m 5’10”, 190 pounds, and prefer to sleep on my stomach.

The Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid has a nice mix of support and pressure relief

After stretching out on the Bowery, I decided to give it a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale, which syncs up perfectly with the industry standard for medium firmness. All in all, I’d say this mattress leans more to the supportive side of things. You’re likely to experience a lot of buoyant lift from the pocketed coils, which, when coupled with the comfort layer of poly foam, produces a fairly firm feel. However, this firmness is somewhat mitigated by the quilted cover, which provides a bit of extra comfort and pressure relief. That being said, I think the Bowery is both too soft for stomach sleepers and too firm for side sleepers, leaving it mostly appropriate for back sleepers or folks who change positions in the night. Additionally, I think the thin foam top layers would probably make this a tricky sell for heavier folks who are likely to sink straight through to the coils as they sleep.

Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress Performance

I use a number of different tools in my mattress testing quests to determine the experience each type of sleeper may have. This includes looking at specific sleeping positions, weight classes, pressure relief, edge support, and sex compatibility. Will it fit the bill for you? Let’s find out.

Testing the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress in Different Sleeping Positions

Different sleepers require different things, and it gets even more specific when we’re looking at the combination of weight and position. Let’s see how this mattress will perform for you.

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

Light Back Sleepers – I think that the support offered by the coils with the added layers of body-contouring foam on top will create a good balance of support and pressure relief for these sleepers.
Light Side Sleepers – This mattress may create pressure in problem areas like the hips or shoulders, and will likely be too firm for these sleepers.
Light Stomach Sleepers – Because a lighter sleeper may feel the mattress more firm and the top foam layers are thin, I think that this could be a good choice for these sleepers.

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

Average Weight Back Sleepers – This Bowery Hybrid keeps the spine aligned in a good position, and helps prevent the hips from sinking into the mattress, providing for a nice, body-contouring feel. I think this would be a good choice for these sleepers.
Average Weight Side Sleepers – The top foam layers might be a bit too thin for these sleepers and they may experience added pressure in the shoulders. I would recommend checking out beds with thicker comfort layers for optimal pressure point relief.
Average Weight Stomach Sleepers – These sleepers may find that this mattress provides a decent amount of spinal alignment, but I think in the long run, they will want a firmer mattress. Learn more by checking out our top picks for best firm mattresses.

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

Heavy Back Sleepers – You’ll likely find that this mattress firmness is too low for your needs, and it doesn’t keep your spine aligned in a healthy position. For better suited options, check out our best mattresses for heavy people.
Heavy Side Sleepers – See above.
Heavy Stomach Sleepers – See above.

Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress Pain Relief Performance

Pressure and pain are basically synonymous with each other. Where there’s pressure, comes pain! I conducted a pressure relief test by utilizing a pressure map and laying on it in various sleeping positions. This helps us visualize where pressure may develop for you on a potential new mattress. The three most common problem areas are the shoulders, hips, and lower back. For these pain points, it’s important to have a solid mix of both pressure relief and support to target pain. Let’s see how this Brooklyn Bedding mattress performed.

Pressure map results for the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid

Back Pain – If you sleep on your back, I think you’ll experience the support that keeps your spine in good alignment, which is crucial for relieving back pain. Side sleepers, I think the thin memory foam support on top, plus the medium-firmness of this mattress, will offer you proper relief. To all my stomach sleepers, this mattress may be a bit too soft for you, which will cause the hips to sink and throw your spine out of a healthy alignment. Shoulder Pain – Hey there back sleepers, I think that the thinner, soft top layers will be enough to create that body-contouring feel to offer you a bit of relief. To my side sleepers, I think that this mattress will be a little too firm and could create some added discomfort to your shoulder area. Stomach sleepers, you won’t have an extremely plush layer to help you sink into the mattress and gain relief, so I’m not sure the Bowery Hybrid will do it for you. Hip Pain – These back sleepers will need an even softer mattress, so I’m not sure you’d find enough soft support needed here to alleviate hip pain. Similarly to those with shoulder pain, my side sleepers out there will need a softer mattress to avoid additional pressure. Finally, stomach? sleepers, your hips will sink out of alignment with your shoulders, which can further hip painI’d recommend checking out our picks for best mattresses for stomach sleepers for better support options.

Laying back on the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid

Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress Performance for Couples

When sleeping in a couple, you’ll want to consider a few additional factors for your new mattress. This includes how motion will transfer, how easy sex will be, whether or not someone sleeps near the edge, and of course, how you’ll keep cool. Luckily, we cover how each of these areas will perform on the Bowery Hybrid.

Motion Transfer

Let’s take a look at motion transfer, or the amount of movement detectable from one side of the mattress to the other. In a perfect world, you’d want some motion isolation, so this is an important factor for everyone to consider, but could be especially useful for those who sleep with a child, partner, or rowdy pet. To illustrate this motion transfer, I dropped a 10-pound steel ball from heights of 4 inches, 8 inches and 12 inches and measured the disturbance it caused: the bigger the lines, the bigger the disturbance.

Motion transfer test results for the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid

These motion transfer results are just okay, which tells me you will likely feel some movement from your partner in the night. And this makes sense — the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid is quite the bouncy bed! Long story short, if you sleep with a particularly restless bed mate, this may not be the best mattress for you.

Sex

Couples need a good mix of motion transfer and responsiveness for sex. This means that bounce is a plus, at least for sex purposes. Lucky for you, this bed offers a lot of bounce, which is created by the high-density foam base supporting the coils above it. With this in mind, I think this mattress would be good for sex.

Cooling

Two people create more heat during the night than a single sleeper does, so you’ll want a mattress made with at least some cooling tech The Bowery Hybrid has a cooling gel treatment in the top quilted layer for some initial cooling. Then there’s also a 6-inch layer of coils — the space between these coils allows for added airflow. This helps create cooling and breathability throughout the entire mattress. If you tend to sleep especially hot, feel free to check out our top choices for best cooling mattresses as well.

Edge Support

Edge support refers to how well a mattress holds up at the sides. If a mattress has good edge support, you can lay all the way on the side without feeling like you’re going to roll off. This can add to a mattress’s durability, since good edge support helps prevent sagging. I don’t think the Bowery has the best edge support. I felt far less supported on the edges than I did in the center. This is important to note for heavier sleepers or couples, since both groups will want to take advantage of their mattress’s full surface area.

What is the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress Made Of?

The Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid features three layers of poly foam, pocketed coils, and high-density poly foam. This combination of materials creates a firm structure that’s bouncy and supportive, with little to no sinkage or body-contouring. To see how all these layers work together, let’s dive under the cover.

The Brooklyn Bowery mattress.

Cover – The Brooklyn Bowery cover is made of polyester and quilted with a bit of gel memory foam for comfort. This comfort foam has a subtly gentle feel, which felt pleasant under my hand. Transition Layer – Directly under the cover, you’ll land on a 2-inch section of poly foam. This transitional comfort foam material has a quick response to pressure and a slightly firm feel, working to position sleepers more on top of the bed than in it. Support Layer- The bulk of the mattress is made up of this 6-inch section of Ascension X coils. Bouncy, supportive, and firm, these springs bring a hearty lift to the structure. The spaces between the coils also encourage a lot of airflow, serving to cool down the structure as a whole. One small thing to note, though, is that because there’s such a thin layer of foam up top, some folks may find that they sink straight through to the coils. This could cause discomfort and jamming at the shoulders and hips, especially for heavier sleepers. Base Layer- An inch of high-density base foam wraps up the construction. While you can’t really “feel” this material, it does give the coils something to respond and bounce off of.

My Final Thoughts about the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress

Before we wrap things up, let’s take a look at my snapshot of what blew me away about the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid, as well as some of my complaints.

My favorite things about the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid mattress

First and foremost, I think this bed could be great for back sleepers. It’s got a solid medium–firm feel that’ll give these sleepers the support they need at the hips to set the spine in a nice, neutral alignment. It’s also super bouncy, which could be a big plus for folks in search of a little optimized mobility! And finally, I think the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid is a fantastic value buy, especially when compared to other hybrid mattresses on the market.

My Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid mattress complaints

Though the medium firm build is awesome for back sleepers, it’s not so great for side sleepers, who generally need a softer bed for pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. Heavier sleepers may also find that they sink straight through this bed as it’s not the most supportive for folks over 250 pounds.

Read Saatva Mattress Review

Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress vs Saatva Mattress

The Saatva comes in three firmness options, while the Bowery comes in just one firmness option.
The Saatva has a more traditional innerspring feel, while the Bowery is a hybrid that uses both foam and coils.
The Saatva is quite a bit more expensive than the Bowery.
Take a look at my Saatva mattress review for more information.

The Saatva’s coil-on-coil construction provides a classic innerspring feel. It’s a good option for combo sleepers, who will want to feel free to switch positions and avoid feeling “stuck” in the mattress. It comes in three firmness levels, so you should be able to find one that suits your needs.

Other Models from Brooklyn Bedding

As I mentioned up top, the Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid isn’t the only mattress Brooklyn Bedding sells. In fact, the brand makes several hybrid mattress models, including the Aurora and Signature.

Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress vs Brooklyn Aurora Mattress

The Aurora is Brooklyn Bedding’s most popular mattress, combining gentle foams with pocketed coils for a one-two punch of pressure relief and support.
A standout feature of the Aurora is how cool it sleeps, thanks to its use of Phase Change Material and copper-infused foam.
In general, I like this bed for side sleepers or those who tend to overheat at night.

The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is a hybrid bed-in-a-box mattress. It comes in three firmness levels and with an optional Cloud Pillow Top, so sleepers can pick the best model for their needs. It also has cooling tech in nearly every layer, which means it sleeps super cool!

Brooklyn Bowery Hybrid Mattress vs Brooklyn Signature Mattress

Yet another hybrid, the Signature is a littler firmer than the Aurora, placing it closer on the firmness scale to the Bowery.

I especially like this mattress for couples as it’s both highly mobile and great at isolating motion.

I bought this for my 92 year old father in law, after he tried mine that I purchased 7 years ago. He raves about it every day, he says he falls asleep faster, sleeps longer without waking up. He says it’s so comfortable. He called me yesterday saying he can’t thank me enough for setting him up with the mattress. He’s really happy with it . Thank you!!
