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, 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 and our Chief Medical Product Tester Dr. Joe Tedesco recently added the Titan Plus to the more than 330 mattresses our team has put through a rigorous series of tests. We have already used this testing methodology to help more than 60,000 people find the ideal mattress for them.
After completing the testing for this mattress, we think that 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.
Because hybrid beds like the Titan Plus 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 like Dr. Tedesco and me. A fan of the mattress, Dr. Tedesco thought it could help people of all sizes with back, neck, hip, and shoulder pain get a good night’s sleep. He also said, “I’d definitely recommend this whether you’re a side or back sleeper if you have scoliosis.”
Join me as I take a deeper dive into the Titan Plus’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 deep compression support and durability they need.” – Nichole Mondshein, lead reviewer and staff writer
Titan Plus Mattress Overview
The Titan Plus is an affordable firm hybrid mattress designed specifically for larger bodies, particularly those weighing over 230 pounds. When we tested the mattress, my colleague Marten Carlson represented sleepers in this weight range and was particularly fond of the amount of pressure relief he felt on his back.
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 due to the high-density foam layers and individually encased steel coils. However, the Titan Plus’s ability to isolate motion was what blew my hair back.

Titan Plus Value
The Titan Plus 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 $1,400. However, sales and discounts are often available, and it is not uncommon to bring a Titan Plus 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 Made Of?
The Titan Plus 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 – The Titan Plus’s quilted cover is made of polyester, so it’s soft and cozy. If you’re a hot sleeper, you can add on the brand’s special GlacioTex cooling cover for an extra $150, which is made with a cool-to-the-touch phase change material. 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’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.
Support Layer – The support center of the mattress consists of a six-inch section of 961 TitanCaliber encased coils. These heavy-duty coils give the mattress its firm support. The separation between these coils is essential for both limiting motion transfer and encouraging 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.
Base Layer – Two inches of high-density foam provides the final layer in the Titan Plus’s mix of materials. This layer is primarily designed to provide support to the coil section above it.
Titan Plus 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.
Product tester Kate Gorman rated the Titan Plus a 7.5 for side sleepers and 8 for sleeping on one’s back or stomach. Although it is a truly firm bed designed for plus-sized sleepers, Dr. Tedesco, who falls within the average-weight category, said, “I feel like I can relax really well on this mattress.”
Titan Plus 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. Dr. Tedesco also tested the Titan Plus to provide us with a medically based evaluation and his own insights into how the bed performs.
Below, see how we rated the Titan Plus in areas such as pain relief, motion transfer, cooling, and more.
Titan Plus 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’s pressure relief, we had a lightweight, average-weight, and heavyweight tester evaluate how the bed affected their neck, shoulders, back, and hips when they were on their backs and sides. We also rolled out a specialized mat to measure the pressure our testers felt. This mat produced color-coded pressure maps, which are digital images that highlight areas of low pressure in green and blue, and high pressure in yellow and red.
When the results came in, the Titan Plus’s pressure relief score was a little lower than I usually like to see. However, I took into account that this bed was designed for larger sleepers. The score for back pressure relief was a 5 out of 5 for that demographic and a 4 for average-weight back sleepers. I think that back sleepers, even some who aren’t considered plus-sized, will benefit from this mattress.
Marten liked what he saw on his back pressure maps. “Wow, it’s all light blue!” he said. “Makes sense because I feel great. This is terrific for back sleeping — especially for a bigger guy like me. I have great alignment, and the overall support is fantastic.”
Although the Titan Plus didn’t perform well on our side pressure relief tests, Dr. Tedesco liked it when he was on his side.
He said, “I don’t have any significant pressure buildup. I feel like my spine is pretty aligned when I’m on my left side. I was looking for pressure buildup in my shoulder, but I haven’t felt much. My left shoulder, my ribs, my pelvis, my knee, my ankle feel like they are all taking the same amount of pressure. I lay on this with a pillow and without one, and it’s much better on your side if you have a pillow. I’m more comfortable on my side on this mattress than I was on my back.”
Titan Plus Motion Isolation
I am an annoyingly light sleeper. This, coupled with my husband’s nocturnal reenactments of WrestleMania matches, means that if I’m on a bed with poor motion isolation, I am going to be wide awake (and angry). Needless to say, a bed’s ability to absorb motion made by a partner is one of the first features I consider.
The Titan Plus is a world champion in motion isolation. During the “ripple test,” I placed a large container of water on one side of the bed and moved around on the other side while gauging the liquid’s movement. I said that if I did a cannonball from a diving board onto the Titan Plus, I don’t think that the water would have moved much.
After the ripple test, my colleague Riley Otis joined me for the “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 didn’t have a clue when she was entering or exiting the mattress. When she repositioned, I could sense another body in bed with me, but her movement didn’t bother me. The Titan Plus earned an easy 5 out of 5 in this performance category.
Titan Plus Responsiveness
We often find that when a bed has terrific motion isolation like the Titan Plus, it lacks responsiveness, making it more challenging to move around on. However, the Titan Plus tossed that convention to the wind. I performed a subjective “switch test,” which involved gauging 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, 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.
We also conducted objective responsiveness and bounce tests to add measurements to my opinions. To see how quickly the Titan Plus returns to its original size after weight is applied to it, I rested a 54-pound kettlebell on it for seven seconds. Using a stopwatch and slow-mo video, I then timed how long it took the mattress to bounce back up. This mattress was back to its full height in less than half a second, earning it 5 stars.
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 bottom of the ball reaching a height of 19 inches, another indicator of exemplary bounce.
Titan Plus Cooling
As a woman of a certain age, I would like my bed to be about the temperature of the Arctic Ocean. The Titan Plus may not meet that mark, but I was still impressed with what it offered in this department.
Although I didn’t think it was cool to the touch, I still thought it did a top-notch job at temperature regulation. I used a thermal temperature gun to take the resting surface temperature of the mattress, and got an initial reading of 66 degrees. After I lay on the mattress for five minutes, I retook the temperature to see how my body heat affected it. The temperature rose by less than 5 degrees, earning it a 4.5 out of 5 and leading me to recommend the Titan Plus for everyone except the hottest sleepers.
Titan Plus 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 first tested the Titan Plus’s edge support by noting how easily I could get in and out of bed and how secure I felt when lying on it. It was easy to get in and out of bed, but I was surprised by how much the mattress sank when I was sitting on the side. Those with mobility issues may find this bed a bit challenging to get in and out of, but most people should be able to manage. I knocked it down a point for the amount of sinkage, earning it a 4 out of 5 in seated edge support.
However, when I transitioned from a seated position to a lying down position, the Titan Plus flexed its edge support muscles. I felt extremely secure lying on my back, stomach, and side. There was no fear of the bed collapsing under me or that I would topple off the edge. I gave this mattress a flawless 5 when it came to lying down along the perimeter.
Titan Plus 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 4.5 or higher in those areas, it easily earned a gold star for co-sleepers.
The Titan Plus should allow both sleepers to stay cool. They should also feel secure in 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 boon to those who share a bed with a restless partner.
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 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
Although you have to press down fairly hard to hear it, the Titan Plus emits a low but consistent crunching noise. I don’t think that it would disturb most people, but I deducted one point from its score because of this.
Base Compatibility
Using the Titan Plus on an adjustable base was certainly not my jam. In TV mode, I felt like I was being scrunched, which made it difficult to relax. The firm feel of this bed gave me the sense it was actively pushing against me. Ultimately, I didn’t find the Titan Plus to be compatible with an adjustable base. If you want to use an adjustable base, I recommend an all-foam mattress, such as the Nectar.
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’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 mattresses such as this one usually come with a 10-year warranty. While some brands offer a limited lifetime warranty, 10 years is a fairly common warranty period.
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 10-year warranty, indicate that this bed is likely to hold up well for at least a decade.

Titan Plus Sleeping Position and Body Weight
Body weight and sleep position can alter how a mattress feels. Our chief medical advisor, Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM, 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 pressure is felt 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 a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – Although light back sleepers will likely find the Titan Plus to be very supportive, most of them will find it to be too firm.
- Light Side Sleepers – Light side sleepers will likely find that this mattress doesn’t offer them the kind of contouring needed to relieve pressure around their hips and shoulders.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – Stomach sleepers generally need the most support, of which the Titan Plus offers plenty. However, I still think it is too firm for these folks.
Is the Titan Plus a Good Mattress for Average-Weight Sleepers (130–230 pounds)?
- Average-Weight Back Sleepers – I liked this mattress on my back and 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 – I would steer these sleepers to a mattress with a bit more give. Side sleepers want a bit of sinkage to have pressure relief at their shoulders and hips, which they won’t get here. However, Dr. Tedesco, who is average weight, liked this mattress better on his side than his back.
- Average-Weight Stomach Sleepers – While the Titan Plus might feel a tad firm to some of these sleepers, 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 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 – 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’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 Mattress
We’ve introduced you to the Titan Plus, 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 Mattress For
- 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.
- I think couples would do well on the Titan Plus, since it has low motion transfer, which means you’re unlikely to be disturbed by a restless partner.
- I’d recommend the Titan Plus 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 Mattress For
- I don’t think this is the best mattress for strict side sleepers, especially light side sleepers. I don’t think they’ll achieve the sinkage they need for pressure relief at the hips and shoulders. However, if you’re a heavier combo sleeper who spends some time on their side, it could work just fine. I’d still recommend checking out one of our best mattresses for side sleepers.
- If you’re looking for a more “in” than “on top” of the bed feel, then this probably isn’t the mattress for you. 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.
Titan Plus Pricing and Sizing
Price is a crucial factor when considering the purchase of a new mattress. Take a look at our pricing chart for the Titan Plus below, and be sure to visit our Brooklyn Bedding coupon page to save on your purchase. Alternatively, explore our best cheap mattresses for more budget-friendly options.

Titan Plus Policies
- Warranty: 10 years
- Sleep Trial Period: 120 nights
- Unboxing: Your Titan Plus 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 has 4.7 out of 5 stars on its website. Customers praise its support and comfort.
Titan Plus vs. Competitor
Let’s put the Titan Plus in the ring against other sturdy mattresses built specifically for heavier sleepers as well. Take a look below to see how the Titan Plus holds up against its competition: Big Fig and WinkBed Plus.
Titan Plus vs Big Fig
The Big Fig features a more traditional innerspring build, rather than individually wrapped coils like the hybrid Titan Plus. The Big Fig is actually less firm than the Titan Plus, 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.
- Price: The Titan Plus is the better value buy here, priced around $650 lower than the Big Fig.
- Sleeping position: The Big Fig and Titan Plus 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 because of its lower firmness level.
Our Big Fig review is here so you can compare directly.
[product block]
Titan Plus vs WinkBed Plus
The firm support from the innerspring-like build in the WinkBed Plus is comparable to the Titan Plus. 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 or the Big Fig.
- Price: The WinkBed Plus is roughly $750 more than the Titan Plus.
- 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 helps the mattress sleep cooler than the Titan Plus.
- Body weight: Neither mattress is recommended for lightweight sleepers, as they’re both designed for larger bodies.
Here’s the full WinkBed Plus mattress review.
The WinkBed Plus is a medium-firm, hybrid mattress designed specifically to accommodate sleepers with larger body types. Through our testing, we found it works best for back sleepers, particularly those over 230 pounds. It also does a good job of isolating motion, which will likely appeal to you if you sleep with a partner. If you want to learn more about the WinkBed Plus, check out our video review.
What our tester says:
“This mattress was designed with plus-size sleepers. However, I think the Plus in its name could also be a nod to all that this mattress has going for it. By using testers with different weights and body types, we learned that this mattress can also be a solid choice for many lightweight and average-weight sleepers.” – Sosha Lewis, senior staff writer and certified sleep science coach
Other Models From Brooklyn Bedding
Wondering what else Brooklyn Bedding has to offer? Below, I’ll compare the Titan Plus to some of Brooklyn Bedding’s other popular models.
Titan Plus vs Titan Plus Luxe
Like the Titan Plus, the Titan Plus Luxe mattress is designed for heavier sleepers. Per its name, the Titan Plus Luxe has a more luxurious feel than the original version. The Titan Plus Luxe is also a hybrid bed, but it’s quite a bit softer than the Titan Plus.
- Price: The Titan Plus Luxe is more expensive than the Titan Plus.
- Sleeping position: The Plus Luxe is best suited for heavy back and side sleepers, while back and stomach sleepers prefer the firmer original Titan Plus.
- Cooling: The Plus Luxe features additional cooling capabilities that should make it slightly cooler than the original.
- Body weight: Both beds work best for heavier sleepers, but the Luxe version may be a slightly better fit for average-weight back and stomach sleepers, as it’s somewhat softer on the firmness scale.
Learn more in our full Titan Plus Luxe review.
The Titan Plus Luxe provides a sturdy and supportive, but still comfortable and luxurious sleep experience for heavy sleepers. The medium-firm feel can work for heavy back and side sleepers, but can also work for some light and average weight folks too. This means mixed-weight couples particularly might enjoy this mattress, especially since it has excellent motion isolation and strong edge support. Learn more in our video review.
What our tester says:
“If you’re a heavy sleeper looking for a bed made of high-quality materials, the Titan Plus Luxe is a great option for you. It’s built to last and should do a great job supporting heavier sleepers, especially back, side, and combination sleepers.” – Madison Schaper, former Sleepopolis staff writer and mattress tester
Titan Plus vs 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, 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.
- Body weight: Unlike the Titan Plus, the Aurora Luxe was not specifically designed with heavier sleepers in mind. However, it should be better for lightweight sleepers.
Learn more in my full Aurora Luxe mattress review.
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
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.
