Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress Details

Materials & Construction

The Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress pairs high quality foam with durable steel coils to deliver the perfect balance of comfort and support. It is 13.25 inches thick and consists of seven functional layers. Here’s a more detailed look:

Layer 1: The Cover

The top-most layer of the mattress features a luxury smooth top weave and includes the brand’s proprietary GlacioTex™ technology, which removes excess heat and provides cooling benefits on contact.

Layer 2: Quilt Foam

Next, a transitional layer of foam offers additional moisture-wicking benefits while minimizing body impressions for a smooth surface that looks as good as it feels. 

Layer 3: VX Copper Responsive Foam

Includes 1.5 inches of a hyper-elastic foam with immediate response technology that adjusts to your body each time you move, infused with copper particles that naturally help combat bacteria as well as conduct heat away from the body. 

Layer 4: HD Memory Foam

Followed by a one-inch layer of high-density memory foam that perfectly contours to your body’s unique shape, offering adaptive pressure point relief and cradling comfort. 

Layer 5: Variflex Transition Foam 

The final one-inch foam layer provides deeper contouring while offering superior support between the softer memory foam layer and transition to pocketed coils. 

Layer 6: Ascension Zoned Coils 

A three-zoned layer of 1,032 individually encased premium steel coils deliver superior motion isolation, edge reinforcement and overall support where it matters most.

Layer 7: The Base

Supported by a 0.75-inch high-density foam base that adds durability to the mattress and reinforces the individually encased coils as they compress.

Optional Upgrade: Aurora Luxe with Cloud Pillow Top 

The Aurora Luxe also features a few optional upgrades to the top layers to take an already luxuriously comfortable mattress to the next level. Enhance your sleep surface by opting for the cloud pillow top that combines the GlacioTex cooling cover with an added layer of innovative ThermoPhase foam infused with phase change material that has the ability to remove and store excess heat and deliver it back to your body if needed to maintain the perfect sleep temperature throughout the night. This upgraded edition also includes additional layers of responsive quilt foam and gel-infused memory foam for an even more luxurious feel.

Firmness Levels & Who It’s Best For

The Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress is available in three different firmness levels—soft, medium and firm—making it a great option for almost every sleeper, regardless of age, body weight and sleep style. Here’s a look at the three firmness options and who they’re best suited for:

  • You sleep mainly on your side
  • You require more pressure point relief & gentler support

  • You like a balance of contouring and support

  • You sleep with a partner and need to balance different comfort preferences
• Firm is best if: 
  • You primarily sleep on your stomach and/or back
  • You do not to sink deeply into your mattress
  • You need additional lumbar support
  • You prefer a smoother, flatter surface for sleeping

Sleeper Types Suited For

This mattress works well for all types of sleepers, including side sleepers who need extra cushioning around their hips & shoulders as well as back and stomach sleepers who need more support than softer mattresses can provide. Additionally, due to its cooling technology, this mattress will work well for hot sleepers and those who prefer a breathable sleep surface.

Firmness Level

When you purchase your Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress, you’ll choose from three firmness levels: Soft, medium and firm. If you’re not sure which is best for you, the company provides a helpful guide on their website that gives recommendations based on your weight and sleep position.

Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress Performance Review

Motion Isolation / Transference

The Aurora Luxe Mattress features individually encased coils, which cradle the body as you move, as well as high-density memory foam that absorbs movement, helping to minimize motion transfer. This makes it an excellent choice for couples or light sleepers who are easily disturbed by their partner’s movements.

Pressure Relief

The combination of multiple layers of high quality foam and three-zoned pocketed coils work together to distribute weight evenly and reduce pressure points.

Temperature Control

There’s a reason the Aurora the Best Cooling Mattress has won multiple accolades as the “Best Cooling Mattress” on the market—it was meticulously crafted to optimize airflow and breathability. From the proprietary GlacioTex cover to the foam and open cell coils, this mattress includes a variety of advanced cooling technologies all of which help regulate temperature and provide a cool and comfortable sleep experience all night long.

Edge Support

The Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress includes higher gauge coils along the perimeter, providing enhanced edge support and ensuring the mattress edges won’t sag as the mattress ages.

Ease of Movement

This mattress includes immediate response technology that adjusts to your body as you move throughout the night, allowing for easy movement and repositioning during sleep. This makes it a great choice for combination sleepers and those who frequently change positions.

Durability

Featuring several high-density foam layers and over a thousand premium steel coils, the Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress is carefully assembled by Brooklyn Bedding’s master craftsmen in the U.S. It is designed for long-lasting durability and performance. The limited lifetime warranty provides confidence in the longevity of the product. 

Noise

The high quality foams and individually encased coils prevent any noise or squeaking during movement, so you can sleep peacefully throughout the night.

Sex

Offering both bounce and responsiveness, the Aurora Luxe is a solid choice for couples who are looking for a mattress that facilitates movement. The strong edge support also provides plenty of usable surface area, and the cooling features prevent overheating during intimate moments.

Off-Gassing

While many customers don’t detect any “funny smell” after unpacking their mattresses for the first time, as with any bed-in-a-box mattress, you may notice a slight odor when you unpack your mattress from its shipping box. If you do, rest assured that the smell is not harmful and that it will likely dissipate within 24 hours in a well ventilated space.

Comparing the Aurora Luxe Mattress to Other Popular Picks

The Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive mattress that prioritizes temperature regulation and cooling. It’s well suited to side, back, stomach and combination sleepers thanks to its multiple firmness levels and durable construction. But how does it compare to other bestselling mattresses on the market today? Here’s a look:

Bear Hybrid vs. Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress

There are several similarities between the Bear Hybrid Elite and the Brooklyn Aurora Luxe “bed-in-a-box” mattresses. Both consist of high quality foams and individually encased coils, both include phase change material and other advanced cooling technology, and both are available in three firmness levels and multiple sizes. Both mattresses also come with a 120-night sleep trial as well as free shipping.

There are a few differences between these two top-selling mattresses, including:

• The Bear Elite tends to be a bit more expensive than the Aurora Luxe—most sizes cost a few hundred dollars more. The gap widens if you purchase the Aurora during one of the brand’s many sales. 
• The Bear Elite is 14 inches in height and is made up of six layers; the Aurora Luxe is 13.25 inches and is comprised of seven layers—the Aurora has an additional layer of foam for extra comfort and support.

Layla Hybrid vs. Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress

Like the Aurora Luxe, the Layla Hybrid Mattress pairs specialty foams with individually encased coils to deliver superior comfort and support. Also like the Aurora Luxe, the Layla Hybrid is available in multiple sizes, is made in the U.S. and comes with a 120-night sleep trial. The mattresses are comparably priced as well. Still, there are some differences between these two best-selling options, including:

• Whereas the Aurora Luxe is available in three firmness levels, the Layla Hybrid features a flippable design—one side of the mattress is soft and plush, and the other is firmer and more supportive. 
• While the Layla Hybrid does include some temperature regulating features, the Aurora Luxe puts more emphasis on temperature control, with multiple advanced cooling technologies incorporated throughout the mattress.
