Note: Brooklyn Bedding has recently changed the name of the Titan Plus to the Titan Plus Core mattress, which has a different construction. All links will be redirected to that product.
In Greek mythology, the Titans were a group of giants. As a certified sleep science coach, I would have advised them that after ruling the cosmos and holding up the sky on their shoulders, they needed a high-quality mattress that provided comfortable contouring and balanced support. So, I was curious to see if Brooklyn Bedding’s Titan Plus Core, a hybrid designed for heavier people, lived up to its name. Is this the best mattress for modern-day titans?
To find out, my fellow mattress testers recently added the Titan Plus Core to the more than 330 mattresses our team has put through a rigorous series of tests. We previously tested the original Titan Plus model, but we retested the most recent model using our rigorous testing methodology. Since our founding, Sleepopolis expert testers have used this carefully curated testing strategy to help more than 60,000 people find the ideal mattress for them.
After testing this mattress, we think back sleepers (especially those who weigh more than 230 pounds), folks who share a bed with a restless partner, and hot sleepers will appreciate the Titan Plus Core. Because hybrid beds like the Titan Plus Core are typically versatile, we found that although it was made with heavy people in mind, it can also be a solid choice for average-weight sleepers.
Join me as I take a deeper dive into the Titan Plus Core’s performance in key categories, such as edge support, motion isolation, and pressure relief, to see if it will have you sleeping like a pre-Olympian deity.
The Titan Plus mattress is a durable mattress made with heavy sleepers in mind. It’s firm and features heavy-duty coils and Titanflex foam that makes it bouncy and easy to move around on. We think that heavy back sleepers and stomach sleepers should be especially comfortable. For more information on the Titan Plus, check out our video review.
What our tester says:
“I think the Titan Plus lives up to its name as a good mattress for heavier sleepers. It will offer them the support and durability they need.” – Sosha Lewis, senior staff writer and certified sleep science coach.
Titan Plus Core Mattress Overview
The Titan Plus Core is an affordable firm hybrid mattress designed specifically for larger bodies, particularly those weighing over 230 pounds. Although I am not the intended target for this mattress, I was also impressed with how evenly supported I felt when lying on my back and side due to the high-density foam layers and individually encased steel coils. However, the Titan Plus Core’s responsiveness was what blew my hair back.
When I ran this bed through the testing gauntlet, I consulted our Chief Medical Advisor, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM, who provided me with sleep tips and recommendations for specific sleepers based on their individual needs and preferences. According to him, the right mattress for heavy people will support their body, help them sleep more comfortably, and may prevent frequent awakenings throughout the night. He also states that the best mattress for heavy people can help prevent problems like back pain, so I had high hopes for the Titan Core’s testing performance.
Titan Plus Core Mattress Review Video
We are working on a video review for the Titan Plus Core and will have that available soon.
Please note: The Titan Plus review video on Sleepopolis’s YouTube Channel is for the old model and does not reflect our evaluation of the updated Titan Plus Core model.
Titan Plus Core Value
The Titan Plus Core is a specialty mattress designed for individuals with larger body types. To be supportive enough for those over 230 pounds, it uses high-density foam and individually encased coils. However, it remains an affordable mattress, which is especially noteworthy when considering the durable materials and top-end scores in motion isolation, cooling, edge support, and responsiveness.
At full retail, a queen-sized mattress will set you back around $1,350. However, sales and discounts are often available, and it is not uncommon to bring a Titan Plus Core home for under $1,000. Given that some average-weight sleepers may also enjoy this mattress, it is an excellent value

What Is the Titan Plus Core Made Of?
The Titan Plus Core is a hybrid mattress that features the brand’s proprietary Titanflex comfort foam, pocketed innerspring coils, and high-density polyfoam. These layers of foam deliver a satisfying balance of soft pressure relief and sturdy support, with a focus on bolstering heavy sleepers who tend to sink through more traditional structures.

Cover – This mattress comes with a standard polyester cover, but you can upgrade to an optional cooling cover for an extra $150 as I did. This GlacioTex cooling cover offers a smoother, cool-to-the-touch sensation when you first lie down. I should also mention that the cover is quilted with an inch of gel memory foam for an immediate touch of comfort on top.
Comfort Layer – The two-inch layer of proprietary Titanflex foam is the centerpiece of the Titan Plus Core’s construction. This latex alternative has a quick, responsive bounce that provides a natural lift to the structure to help keep heavier folks positioned more “on top” of the mattress than in it. Like latex, Titanflex also works to regulate temperatures by dissipating body heat.
Transition Layer – The support center of the mattress consists of an eight-inch section of up to 900 TitanCaliber encased coils. These heavy-duty coils give the mattress its firm support. These coils are individually wrapped, which is better for isolating motion because they move independently, rather than as an entire unit. These coils also encourage airflow throughout the mattress. You’ll also note that this section is quite tall, which adds some extra oomph to the overall structure, helping to support those individuals who might usually sink straight through a bed.
Support Layer – One inch of high-density foam provides the final layer in the Titan Plus Core’s mix of materials. This layer is primarily designed to provide support to the coil section above it. It also lends to the mattress’s durability and lifespan.
Titan Plus Core (New) vs. Titan Plus (Old)
Brooklyn Bedding’s Titan Plus has recently undergone a makeover, and with this transformation comes some slight differences in construction and a new name. Aside from a new look and being renamed to the Titan Plus Core, the only structural change is a slight modification to the supportive base; instead of six inches of innerspring coils followed by two inches of high-density memory foam, there are eight inches of coils and one inch of foam.
During testing, we found that the newly revamped Titan Plus Core performed slightly better than the original Plus. Our testers gave the Titan Plus Core a 4.7 out of 5, which is a slight increase from the original 4.6 rating.
The most notable difference in the two models was their pressure relief, specifically for side sleepers. The original Titan Plus earned a 2.7 for side-sleeping pressure relief, with our testers noting that it likely wasn’t an ideal fit for this sleeping position due to pressure buildup in the hips and shoulders. The Titan Plus Core is leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor, earning a near-perfect 4.5 out of 5 for side-sleeping pressure relief.
However, the Titan Plus Core experienced a slight drop in the cooling, edge support, and motion isolation categories. It still earned a 4 out of 5 or higher in each of these categories; however, the original Titan Plus model scored at least a 4.5 in each category, including a perfect 5 out of 5 in motion isolation.
That said, a 4 out of 5 or higher in these three categories is still considered above-average performance, so we would still recommend this mattress from Brooklyn Bedding to sleepers prioritizing these features, including hot sleepers, those with mobility concerns, and couples. Overall, the new Titan Plus Core generally performs the same as its predecessor, but now side-sleepers can join in on the fun.


Titan Plus Core Mattress Firmness
To rate firmness, we use a 1 to 10 scale, with 1 being as soft as a cotton ball and 10 feeling like a hardwood floor. Most mattresses fall in the 5 to 8 category, so a 6.5 is a universally appealing medium-firm. Since sleeping position can affect how firm a bed feels, we rate it for side, back, and stomach sleeping. Below, see how we rated the Titan Plus Core in areas such as pain relief, motion transfer, cooling, and more.

We landed on a firmness score of 7.5 out of 10, meaning this bed has a solid, firm feel yet isn’t as hard as a rock. Although it’s a supportive bed designed for plus-sized sleepers, this firmness level can appeal to anyone wanting to feel more “on” the bed than “in” the bed. You won’t find deep sinkage and body contouring, but you will be propped into a straight, flat line.
Titan Plus Core Mattress Performance
A big part of what we do here at Sleepopolis is run a series of tests on every mattress we review. This helps our team of certified sleep science coaches get an objective view of what it’s like to sleep on them and enables us to make specific recommendations based on sleeping position, body type, and more. Below, see how we rated the Titan Plus Core in areas such as pain relief, motion transfer, cooling, and more.
Titan Plus Core Pressure Relief Performance
Pressure relief is closely related to pain relief and measures how evenly a mattress distributes your weight around sensitive areas, such as the back, shoulders, and hips. Will sleeping on this mattress put an uncomfortable amount of pressure on your joints? Will you wake up with aches and pains, or will the mattress help absorb and alleviate them?
To measure the Titan Plus Core’s pressure relief, I lay on the mattress in the side and back sleeping positions, noting how it feels on my neck, shoulders, back, and hips. I rated the pressure relief 4.8 stars overall, slightly favoring back sleeping with a perfect 5-star rating. Yet, I still felt very comfortable in the side-sleeping position, so I awarded it 4.5 stars for pressure relief.
When back sleeping, I felt fantastic. It’s extra-supportive, so I felt almost weightless. The weight distribution was phenomenal; no single part of my body was supporting more weight than the rest. I felt balanced and even across my lower back, but found myself desiring a bit more contouring around my lumbar zone. According to Dr. Dasgupta, “Sleepers with preexisting back pain may benefit from a mattress that fills in the space at the lower back.” While I felt balanced and even across my lower back, I did find myself craving just a bit more cushioning in that area to relieve muscle strain. However, I didn’t feel any pressure buildup in this area, and my spine was straight and neutrally aligned.
I then rolled onto my side and again experienced tons of support and lift at my pelvis. Although it has firm support, the quilted cover and comfort layer do a nice job adding a bit of plushness and cushioning at my hip and shoulder joints. If anything, my shoulders felt like they sank in slightly more than my hips, but my overall spinal alignment was not affected.
Titan Plus Core Motion Isolation
If you are easily awakened, you may experience sleep disturbance from someone tossing and turning beside you. If this sounds like you, you’ll want to consider a new mattress with adequate motion isolation. This ensures that your partner’s movement is muffled and doesn’t even reach your side of the bed. I performed two tests to measure motion isolation on the Titan Plus Core, settling on an overall rating of 4.3 stars
I started with a ripple test, placing a large container of water on one side of the bed and moving around on the other side whilst gauging the liquid’s movement. As I got into bed, the water began to ripple gently. It lightly rippled and swayed back and forth when I switched between positions, yet it never rolled like an ocean wave or splashed like a rain puddle. Instead, it was a subtle movement, like the water giving me a little wink, so I rated the ripple test 4.5 stars.

After the ripple test, my colleague joined me for a partner test. I lay on one side of the bed with my eyes closed while she got in and out of bed and repositioned. I could feel her movement slightly, but the comfort layer was absorbing most of it. Her rolling around didn’t affect my actual body or make me jiggle, so I gave this test a solid 4-star rating.

Titan Plus Core Responsiveness
We often find that when a bed has decent motion isolation, like the Titan Plus Core, it lacks responsiveness, making it more challenging to move around on. However, the Titan Plus Core tossed that convention to the wind. I performed a subjective “switch test” to gauge how easy it was to transition from one position to another. During this test, I immediately noticed how seamless it was to move around without feeling stuck. When I was lying on the Titan Plus Core, I felt more on top of the mattress rather than in it, another indicator of good responsiveness. I quickly landed on a 5 out of 5 score for the switch test.
My fellow in-house testers and I also conducted objective sinkage and bounce tests to provide my opinions. To see how much body contouring you’ll experience on the Titan Plus Core, I rested a 54-pound kettlebell on it and used a ruler to measure how far it sank. I measured approximately 3.5 inches, which places the Core in the “moderate sinkage” category.

The third responsiveness test consisted of dropping a weighted ball from six feet and noting how far it bounced up the measuring stick on the wall. We recorded the top of the ball reaching a height of 29 inches, which indicates this bed has very high bounce.
Titan Plus Core Cooling
If you’re a hot sleeper, you know the struggles of waking up feeling sweaty and overheated. To determine how much cooling power the Titan Plus Core has, I grabbed a thermal gun and measured the mattress’s initial temperature: 6.3 degrees.
Once the temperature was recorded, I lay down for five minutes, enjoying a short rest on the GlacioTex™ cooling cover that we added. I performed this test directly after moving a heavy mattress, so it felt amazing to flop down on the chilly surface and let my heat melt away. I could feel the bed regulating my body temperature, bringing it from warm to neutral.


When the timer rang, I grabbed the thermal gun again and measured the final temperature, which was 69.8 degrees. This is an increase of just 6.5 degrees, indicating satisfying cooling performance and earning the bed 4 stars.
Titan Plus Core Edge Support
How well a bed supports you around the perimeter is an important factor, as it helps you get in and out of bed. It also provides security to couples who like to stretch out and sleepers like me who simply sleep close to the edge. I performed three distinct tests to evaluate the Titan Plus Core’s edge support, landing on an overall rating of 4 stars.
I first tested the Titan Plus Core’s edge support by noting how easily I could get in and out of bed and how secure I felt when lying on it. When I sat down directly on the edge, I could feel myself sink just an inch or two. Yet, I still felt stable and secure on the mattress, and I didn’t feel myself slipping off the side. The coils did a nice job keeping me lifted and preventing me from bottoming out, so I rated the seated edge support 4 stars.

When I transitioned from a seated position to a lying down position, I felt even more supported. The edges felt just as supportive as the very center, and I could get right up on the edge without feeling like I was about to fall. The lying down test gets 5 stars because these sides won’t budge, regardless of what sleeping position you’re in.
The final test involves placing weighted plates on the edge of the bed and using a tape measure to record how many inches the layers compressed. We run this test three times, gradually increasing the weight as we go to represent lightweight, average-weight, and heavy sleepers. From lightest to heaviest, the sinkage was 3.5 inches, 4 inches, and 5 inches. These measurements earn the Titan Plus Core an average of 3.7 stars.

Titan Plus Core Mattress Performance for Couples
Since many people share their bed with a partner, which can alter how the bed performs, we focused on relevant categories, such as cooling, motion isolation, edge support, and responsiveness. How well a bed tests in these areas gives us a good idea of how well it will do for couples. Given that this bed scored a 4 or higher in those areas, it’s a super choice for co-sleepers.
The Titan Plus Core should allow both sleepers to stay cool. They should also feel secure when stretching out across the entire surface of the mattress, thanks to the strong edge support. While the responsiveness allows sexually active couples to move more easily, the motion isolation will be a bonus to those who share the bed with a combination sleeper.
Other Performance Factors to Consider
Although the testing methodology gets to the heart of mattress testing, there are still a few more factors we want to break down for you if you are considering this bed-in-a-box from Brooklyn Bedding.
Sex
Sexually active couples typically appreciate a responsive bed. Mattresses that react quickly when weight is applied to them can help prevent awkward stops and starts during intimate moments. The Titan Plus Core scored a flawless 5 out of 5 in this category, meaning that couples won’t have much worry about getting stuck down in the mattress. Additionally, its high cooling and edge support scores will help keep folks from getting overly sweaty and stop them from toppling off the bed.
Noise
When I pressed down on this bed, I heard no creaking or squeaking coming from the coil layer. To double check, I jumped on the bed and rolled around, and still — not a peep. I rated noise 5 stars because the bed is discreet and whisper quiet, so you won’t wake up if you roll over.
Base Compatibility
On an adjustable base, the Titan Plus Core works fine. It can bend as the base moves, but the quilted cover bunches up in the middle when the frame is in the “TV” preset. Additionally, there’s a noticeable gap where the bed doesn’t touch the base if nobody is lying on it, so I rated the base compatibility 3 stars.

Durability
Given that we only spend a limited amount of time with mattresses, we can’t tell you exactly how long they will hold up. However, to gauge the Titan Plus Core’s durability, we looked at the materials and craftsmanship, as well as performance categories such as edge support. Another indicator of a bed’s durability is the length of the warranty. Brooklyn Bedding offers a limited lifetime warranty for this mattress, which is an upgrade from the original 10-year warranty that came with the older model.
With all of this in mind, we believe that the coils and foams used in this hybrid’s construction, combined with its excellent edge support and limited lifetime warranty, indicate that this bed is likely to hold up well for at least a decade.

Titan Plus Core Sleeping Position and Body Weight
Body weight and sleep position can alter how a mattress feels. Our chief medical advisor, Dr. Dasgupta, said, “How we perceive a bed’s firmness depends largely on our body types. As someone who falls in the average-weight category, a mattress will feel different for me than it does for someone weighing under 130 pounds or folks who are more than 230 pounds”.
Similarly, our preferred sleeping positions also affect where we feel pressure on our bodies. To help us provide well-rounded recommendations, we have testers with different body types try out mattresses on their sides, backs, and stomachs.
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 sink into the mattress more. As far as sleeping positions go, side sleepers likely need a softer mattress while stomach sleepers usually need a firmer, more supportive one. Back sleepers are usually somewhere in the middle.
Is the Titan Plus Core a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – Light back sleepers will find this bed firmer than most, but will still achieve proper spinal alignment.
- Light Side Sleepers – Light side sleepers will find a touch of cushioning at the hips and shoulders, and plenty of lift at the hips to keep their spine straight.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – Stomach sleepers generally need the most support, of which the Titan Plus Core offers plenty. However, some may find this bed too firm on their chest, as I felt pressure building in that area when stomach sleeping.

Is the Titan Plus Core a Good Mattress for Average-Weight Sleepers (130–230 pounds)?
- Average-Weight Back Sleepers – I think it is suitable for average-weight back sleepers — especially if they prefer a firmer place to lay down at night. These sleepers should benefit from the added back support they’ll get on this firm bed.
- Average-Weight Side Sleepers – On your side, you’ll experience some subtle cushioning at the hips and shoulders, as well as excellent support along the spine.
- Average-Weight Stomach Sleepers – While the Titan Plus Core might feel a tad firm to sleepers with larger chests, they should find plenty to enjoy with this mattress. They’ll likely appreciate how the firm support promotes a healthy alignment of their hips and spine.
Is the Titan Plus Core a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 230 pounds)?
- Heavy Back Sleepers – This mattress was practically made for these heavy sleepers. Its firm build should provide ample support for their backs, while its top foam layer provides some nice cushioning.
- Heavy Side Sleepers – Some heavy side sleepers might find this mattress to be a bit too firm, but I still think it’s suitable for them. Side sleepers tend to want a bit of sinkage into their mattress, which only heavier sleepers will experience here.
- Heavy Stomach Sleepers – I highly recommend this bed for heavy stomach sleepers. On a normal mattress, these sleepers would sink through the bed, but with the Titan Plus Core’s tough build, firm support will keep these sleepers on top of the bed with their hips aligned with their shoulders, preventing any lower back pain.

My Final Thoughts About the Titan Plus Core Mattress
We’ve introduced you to the Titan Plus Core, gone over its construction, discussed its feel, and explored how it might perform for different sleepers. Now it’s time to wrap up this review, so you can decide whether this is the mattress for you. I’d like to recap with some final thoughts about this mattress to help you make an informed decision.
Who I Recommend the Titan Plus Core For
- I think the Titan Plus Core lives up to its name as a good mattress for heavier sleepers. It will offer them the support and durability they need.
- I think couples would do well on the Titan Plus Core, since it has low motion transfer, which means you’re unlikely to be disturbed by a restless partner.
- I’d recommend the Titan Plus Core to stomach sleepers. It has enough firm support to keep their hips in line with their shoulders, promoting a straight spinal alignment.

Who I Don’t Recommend the Titan Plus Core For
- Though this bed does have foam layers, you won’t feel like you’re sinking into them. If you’re looking for a more enveloping feel, I’d recommend one of our best memory foam mattresses.
- The cooling cover is not included with your purchase, so you must upgrade to the GlacioTex cover for an additional $150 to reap the benefits.

Titan Plus Core Policies
- Warranty: Limited Lifetime
- Sleep Trial Period: 120 nights
- Unboxing: Your Titan Plus Core mattress will arrive in a box. The mattress weighs between 75 and 135 pounds, depending on the size. Therefore, you may need help moving it and setting it up. When you removed it from the plastic, you could notice a slight chemical smell known as off-gassing. While it is not harmful, it may be unpleasant. This smell will usually dissipate in 24 to 72 hours, and placing it in a well-ventilated room can expedite this process.
- Full Rise: The mattress immediately starts to rise when it is removed from the plastic. While it will likely be ready to sleep on in a few hours, I would recommend giving it a full 24 hours to reach full rise.
- Customer Reviews: With almost 2,900 reviews, the Titan Plus Core has 4.5 out of 5 stars on its website. Customers praise its support and comfort.
Titan Plus Core vs. Competitor
Let’s put the Titan Plus Core in the ring against other sturdy mattresses built specifically for heavier sleepers as well. Take a look below to see how the Titan Plus Core holds up against its competition: Big Fig and WinkBed Plus.
Titan Plus Core vs Big Fig
The Big Fig features a more traditional innerspring build, rather than individually wrapped coils like the hybrid Titan Plus Core. The Big Fig is actually less firm than the Titan Plus Core, but it still provides adequate support. We rate the Big Fig at 6.5 out of 10 in firmness (Titan = 7.5), but you may find that the mattress feels a bit thicker under your body than the Titan Plus Core.
- Price: The Titan Plus Core is the better value buy here, priced around $650 lower than the Big Fig.
- Sleeping position: The Big Fig and Titan Plus Core are both best suited to back and some stomach sleepers. For side sleepers, we recommend a softer mattress, such as the Big Fig, as it provides more pressure relief.
- Cooling: Both mattresses do a good job of keeping sleepers cool.
- Body weight: Both beds should readily accommodate average-weight back and stomach sleepers, as well as most heavy sleepers. However, the Big Fig is better for lighter-weight sleepers than the Titan Plus Core because of its lower firmness level.

Titan Plus Core vs WinkBed Plus
The firm support from the innerspring-like build in the WinkBed Plus is comparable to the Titan Plus Core. Both beds are designed for heavier sleepers, but the WinkBed Plus offers a thicker pillow top layer, resulting in a slightly softer feel than either the Titan Plus Core or the Big Fig.
- Price: The WinkBed Plus is roughly $750 more than the Titan Plus Core.
- Sleeping position: Both mattresses are substantial and better suited for back and stomach sleepers over side sleepers.
- Cooling: The WinkBed’s cover is made from eco-friendly Tencel, a cotton alternative that’s breathable and earned 5 stars on our cooling test.
- Body weight: Neither mattress is recommended for lightweight sleepers, as they’re both designed for larger bodies.

Other Models from Brooklyn Bedding
If you’re interested in Brooklyn Bedding mattresses, you’ll be happy to hear that the brand offers a wide variety of models. Let’s compare the Titan Plus Core to one of my favorite Brooklyn Bedding mattresses, the Aurora Luxe.
Titan Plus Core vs Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe
The Aurora Luxe is also a hybrid mattress, available in three firmness levels: soft, medium, and firm. Each of these beds are made by Brooklyn Bedding, a popular manufacturer that makes its mattresses in Arizona.
- Price: As a luxury bed, the Aurora Luxe is more expensive than the Titan Plus Core, but there are deals year-round that bring down the prices of both mattresses.
- Sleeping position: The Aurora Luxe should be better for side sleepers, as it includes a softer model that provides far more pressure relief.
- Cooling: The Aurora Luxe was designed for cooling and should be far better for hot sleepers than the Titan Plus Core.
- Body weight: Unlike the Titan Plus Core, the Aurora Luxe was not specifically designed with heavier sleepers in mind. However, it should be better for lightweight sleepers.

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.
