Brooklyn Bedding is a sister brand to Helix and Birch, and it's known for well-built hybrids with lots of options at fair prices. The model on findmattress.com is the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe, its cooling-focused hybrid.
The Aurora Luxe is about 13.25 inches tall. It layers a GlacioTex phase-change cooling cover, quilt foam, copper-infused responsive foam and memory foam over 8-inch zoned pocketed coils and a base foam. An optional Cloud pillow top raises it to 14.5 inches for a plusher feel.
It comes in Soft, Medium and Firm, which an independent reviewer rated about 5, 7 and 7.5 out of 10. On paper it's an all-rounder: in our review-based ratings it earns a 5 out of 5 for edge support and pressure relief, and 4 out of 5 for motion isolation, cooling and bounce. One note on cooling: despite the phase-change cover, that reviewer found its temperature control only average, so don't expect it to sleep dramatically colder than other hybrids.
Brooklyn Bedding lists the queen at about $1,465 regular price and around $1,026 on sale, though at least one review site still shows a higher price, so check the live number. It comes with a 120-night trial and a limited lifetime warranty.
Who should shop Brooklyn Bedding? Side, back and combination sleepers who want a supportive hybrid with great edges and a choice of firmness for well under premium-brand prices. Who should skip it? Very hot sleepers who need the coolest possible bed, and shoppers who want natural materials.
If you're comparing, the Helix Midnight is its side-sleeper-focused sibling, and the WinkBed is a pricier hybrid with a Euro pillow top. Take the mattress quiz to see which fits you.

Questions about Brooklyn Bedding
Which Aurora Luxe firmness should I pick?
Soft (about 5 out of 10) suits lighter side sleepers who want deep cushioning. Medium (about 7) is the versatile choice for most side, back and combination sleepers. Firm (about 7.5) is best for back and stomach sleepers or heavier people. The optional pillow top adds a plusher surface to any of them.
Is Brooklyn Bedding related to Helix?
Yes. Brooklyn Bedding, Helix and Birch are sister brands under the same corporate umbrella. They sell separate lineups with their own policies: Helix focuses on position-specific hybrids, Birch on natural latex, and Brooklyn Bedding on customizable hybrids like the Aurora Luxe. Check each brand's trial and warranty separately.
Is the Aurora Luxe a cooling mattress?
It's marketed that way, with a phase-change GlacioTex cover and copper-infused foam. However, an independent reviewer rated its cooling only average, and we score it 4 out of 5 for cooling. It should sleep cooler than dense all-foam beds, but very hot sleepers may want a latex hybrid or an innerspring.
