Brentwood Home Oceano Mattress Review

The Brentwood Home Oceano offers motion isolation that is around average, meaning that it is able to prevent most motion-based disruptions. However, it may not be enough for people who are sensitive sleepers or who share the bed with someone who is constantly tossing and turning.

The interior construction of the Oceano explains its middle-of-the-road performance for motion isolation. While it’s 2-inch memory foam layer works to decrease motion transfer, the coil-on-coil construction creates a degree of bounce that makes it easier to feel the movement of someone on the other side of the bed. Again, this isn’t an issue for most couples, but motion isolation is not a standout quality of the Oceano.

The Oceano provides most sleepers with effective pressure relief although, compared with other mattresses on the market, it rates around average in this category.

The BioFoam material in the comfort system creates cushioning for the body’s pressure points, but the underlying layers create more bounce and less contouring. This means that sleepers with more pronounced pressure points may find that pressure relief is a bit lacking.

This mattress is solidly above-average when it comes to staying cool through the night. Three design factors help the Oceano’s temperature regulation.

First, the fabrics in the cover and top layers offer excellent moisture-wicking and natural breathability to allow for comfortable cooling. Second, the memory foam layer is gel-infused to reduce the extent to which it retains heat. Third, both coil layers offer significant ventilation that aids in transferring heat out of the mattress instead of allowing it to build up.

For these reasons, the Oceano is a solid pick for people who tend to sleep hot.

A major benefit of the Oceano’s robust hybrid design with two separate layers of coils is strong edge support, and that’s why this mattress scores as well above-average in this category.

The eight-inch coil layer in the support core has a zoned design that creates extra strength around the perimeter. The micro-coils prevent exaggerated sinking or sagging of the BioFoam layer, reinforcing the edge even further. The combined effect of these materials is a sturdy sleeping surface that won’t give out even when you are sleeping or sitting near the edge of the bed.

Ease of movement is a strength of the Oceano mattress, giving it plenty of appeal for combination sleepers and others who value being able to effortlessly move around on top of the bed.

This ease of movement stems from the coil-on-coil design as coils quickly spring back when weight is adjusted on them. This responsiveness helps prevent the deep sagging that can be the enemy of smooth movement on the mattress.

The Oceano is rather conducive to sexual activity because of the considerable bounce that is generated by the two innerspring layers.

The coil-on-coil structure contributes responsiveness, but the other comfort system layers (BioFoam, wool, and poly-silk) provide a cushioning and inviting feel during intimate activities. The layers of polyfoam that rest underneath each coil layer work to absorb sound and prevent squeaking of the coils during sex.

Most customers report little smell from the Oceano mattress. While it’s normal to have a light “new mattress smell” right after cutting away the plastic packaging, it’s less pronounced than what is found with most all-foam beds. Organic materials and the BioFoam, which uses fewer petrochemicals, may reduce the propensity for chemical odors.

To the extent that there is a light smell, customers can rest easy knowing that it should fade away quickly, usually within a few hours but at most within a few days. Allowing the mattress to sit in a well-ventilated room will help to speed up the off-gassing process.
