Budget offering from Brentwood Home. This bed is all foam and comes in two relatively similar firmness options. Compared with other cheap beds, its material quality is pretty good.
- Inexpensive
- Two firmness options
- Year-long sleep trial
- Low pressure relief for a memory foam bed
- Foam layers trap body heat throughout the night
Brentwood Home broke into the online mattress industry in 2012 but traces its origins back to 1987. The company’s current lineup includes bedding, bed frames, and other sleep accessories, as well as four mattresses: the Oceano Luxury Hybrid, the Crystal Cove, the Hybrid Latex, and the Cypress Memory Foam.
The Cypress Memory Foam mattress is the budget-friendly offering from Brentwood Home, with a price-point well below most of its competitors. The mattress is an all-foam model consisting of charcoal-infused memory foam over polyfoam transitional and base layers. It measures 11 inches thick. The Cypress is also sold as a hybrid model that swaps out the foam base for pocketed coils. This model is 13 inches thick.
Historically, the Cypress all-foam and hybrid models were sold in both 11-inch and 13-inch profiles. The 11-inch hybrid and 13-inch foam mattress were discontinued in January 2025 as discounted, final-sale items not covered under Brentwood Home’s return program.
The Cypress Affordable Memory Foam mattress offers distinct advantages for different sleeper types depending on the model. We’ll examine how the construction of each model affects its performance, and what type of sleeper is best suited to each mattress, to help you reach a decision on which Brentwood Home Cypress model is the best mattress for you.

TEST LAB RATINGS
How the Brentwood Home Cypress Scored
Motion Isolation7.0/10
The hybrid Brentwood Home Cypress model does a better job of preventing motion transfer than the all-foam. This is due to the thicker comfort layer section, which conforms closely to the body and absorbs movement instead of letting it reverberate across the surface. However, motion isolation for the foam mattress is still decent.
While the hybrid model has some bounce from the coils, this mattress performs similarly to its all-foam counterpart. The coils are individually wrapped to minimize motion transfer, meaning the comfort layers play a more important role in motion isolation. Both models do a decent job of preventing night time disturbances.
Pressure Relief7.0/10
Both versions of the Brentwood Home Cypress mattress include layers of memory foam that contour to relieve pressure points. With its extra comfort layer, the 13-inch hybrid provides a plusher surface and deeper cradle before sleepers reach the firmer base layers.
Side sleepers and those who weigh less than 130 pounds will fare better with the hybrid, which supplies the extra cushioning needed to prevent sore hips and shoulders in these groups. In contrast, stomach sleepers and those who weigh more than 230 pounds will probably prefer the 11-inch foam model, as it provides a firmer surface that keeps the spine on an even plane.
Temperature Control6.5/10
The Brentwood Home Cypress performs relatively well on temperature neutrality, but hot sleepers may want to look elsewhere.
The memory foam contains charcoal infusions that largely succeed in preventing heat build-up around the body. In addition, the hybrid models allow air to circulate through the coils, thereby dispersing any heat that does get trapped in the mattress. The 11-inch model doesn’t cradle the body as closely, which leaves room for heat to escape, you may still notice some warmth. The hybrid will trap a certain amount of heat.
Edge Support6.5/10
Reinforced coils around the perimeter of the bed ensure strong edge support in the Brentwood Home Cypress hybrid.
Since the Cypress mattresses only have 1 or 2 inches of memory foam before the firmer transitional layer, the foam model holds up solidly enough when sleeping near the edge of the bed. Most couples should be able to use the full surface of the mattress without experiencing feelings of roll-off. However, some people may find the edges compress when sitting on the edge of the bed. This effect is more pronounced in individuals who weigh more than 230 pounds.
Ease of Movement6.5/10
Memory foam in the top layer of the Brentwood Home Cypress quickly gives way to the firmer polyfoam underneath, which pushes back and allows for easy movement compared to other all-foam mattresses. Despite the thicker comfort layers in the hybrid model, this is true in both the foam and hybrid versions of the mattress. Combination sleepers may prefer the hybrid model, which has minimal contouring and a bouncier surface due to the coils.
Durability5.5/10
The Brentwood Home Cypress should last about five to six years, about average for a foam mattress. While the memory foam comfort layer conforms to the body at first, over time it wears out. The polyfoam in the comfort layer is prone to the same degradation, though it generally lasts longer. Choosing the hybrid model will likely extend the life of the bed by a year or two, as coils are generally more durable than foam.
Who it Fits
Fit by Sleep Position and Body Weight
Sizes, dimensions and weights
Side Sleepers
The best mattresses for side sleepers ease pressure points in the hips and shoulders, which is why most side sleepers are most comfortable on the Cypress hybrid. The thicker comfort layer section in the hybrid forms a tight hug around the body to alleviate pressure build-up in these areas.
The 11-inch Cypress foam mattress lacks the same depth in the comfort layers, and won’t provide as much cushioning for the hips and shoulders in side sleepers. That being said, most side sleepers under 230 pounds should experience sufficient pressure relief when sleeping on this model. While the mattress is also soft enough for some side sleepers over 230 pounds, it doesn’t offer enough support to maintain proper spinal alignment in this group.
Back Sleepers
Both Brentwood Home Cypress mattresses provide adequate support and pressure relief for most back sleepers. Sleeping on the back naturally aligns the spine and doesn’t create any serious pressure points. The main attribute that back sleepers need in a mattress is lumbar support.
The Cypress mattresses are built with contouring memory foam that fills in the lumbar area, as well as firmer polyfoam to keep the hips from sagging. In the case of the hybrid, pocketed coils push back in targeted areas to keep the spine on an even plane. The only back sleepers who may be uncomfortable on the Cypress are those who weigh more than 230 pounds, as the best mattresses for heavy sleepers tend to be more firm. These sleepers exert more pressure on the mattress and may find that the foam and hybrid models both fail to provide enough spinal support.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers receive better spinal alignment from the Brentwood Home Cypress Hybrid mattresses. In these models, the pocketed coils supply added support to prevent the hips from sinking out of line with the rest of the body. Stomach sleepers will generally do better with the hybrid version, as the thicker comfort layers in the hybrid may sag in the midsection.
Stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds also receive sufficient support from the all-foam models, but these models are too soft and may cause back pain in people who weigh more than 130 pounds.

Availability
The Brentwood Home Cypress mattress is available for purchase on the Brentwood Home website and through third-party retailers like Amazon. The mattress ships to the contiguous U.S. Brentwood Home does not currently serve customers in Hawaii, Alaska, or Canada.
Please note the 11-inch hybrid and 13-inch foam models are still in stock as of January 2025, but these are final-sale items and will not be restocked when the remaining inventory has been sold.
Shipping
Shipping with FedEx is free in the entire contiguous U.S. Mattresses are shipped from L.A. as a mattress in a box and typically arrive within 7 to 10 business days of your order date.
To set up the mattress, customers must carefully remove the box and plastic and let it unfurl on the bed frame. It may take a day or two to fully expand.
Additional Services
Brentwood Home offers optional White Glove delivery with third-party provider AGS for a fee of $199. White Glove delivery takes about 2 to 3 weeks from the time of order. For a further $76, or a total of $275, customers can also select old mattress removal. White Glove delivery and old mattress removal are non-refundable.
No expedited shipping is possible at this time.
Sleep Trial
Brentwood Home offers a 365-night sleep trial with a mandatory 30-night break-in period. To receive a refund, customers can either arrange pickup by Brentwood Home or donate the mattress to a local charity and provide proof of donation in exchange for the refund. Mattresses must be in good condition to be eligible for a refund. Customers may return a maximum of two mattresses from the same order. Replacement mattresses do not come with a sleep trial, and customers who have already returned or exchanged a mattress are not granted a sleep trial with any future products.
The 11-inch hybrid and 13-inch foam model do not qualify for Brentwood Home’s 365-night trial, as these are final-sale mattresses. Customers receive a substantial discount for purchasing these in exchange for forgoing the trial period.
Different conditions may apply to mattresses purchased from third-party retailers.
Warranty
The Brentwood Home Cypress mattress is covered by a 25-year limited warranty against manufacturing and workmanship defects.
The warranty is prorated. Defective mattresses will be replaced free of charge during the first 10 years but customers will be responsible for an increasing percentage of the costs as time goes on, up to a maximum of 95 percent of the original purchase price as of year 21. Customers are always responsible for shipping and handling charges.
At the company’s discretion, defective mattresses will be replaced with a new mattress in the same model and size, where possible. The warranty is only valid for the original purchaser of a new Brentwood Home mattress through a legitimate channel. Law tags must be attached and mattress-in-a-box mattresses must have been unboxed within 2 weeks of arriving to qualify for warranty coverage.
Defects that qualify for warranty coverage include visible indentations of 2 inches or more and cosmetic damage that affects the performance of the mattress, except where this is caused by normal wear and tear.
Problems not covered under the warranty include normal increases in softness and comfort preference. Using the mattress without a proper foundation as described by Brentwood Home will void the warranty, as will stains, burns, mold, or other signs of abuse or improper care.
