Ranked #2 on our Best Innerspring Mattresses list
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is offered in a choice of three firmness options. With its competitive price-point and strong all-round performance, this hybrid mattress should suit a wide range of sleepers. The standard model maintains a relatively neutral sleep temperature, though Brooklyn Bedding also offers an optional cooling pillow-top for hot sleepers.
- Excellent pressure relief
- Foam layers reduce motion transfer
- Three firmness levels
- Foam may inhibit some movement
- Off-gassing may occur after unboxing
Brooklyn Bedding is a “mattress-in-a-box” mattress brand that went online in 2008. Since that time, the company has released a handful of individual mattresses, including the Signature Hybrid, Aurora Luxe, and CopperFlex foam and hybrid models. This review will profile the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid.
The Signature is constructed with a quilted cover and a comfort layer of gel-infused TitanFlex polyfoam, which has a latex-like responsiveness. This is followed by a layer of memory foam, then two layers of denser polyfoam. The support core consists of 8-inch pocketed coils reinforced with a layer of base polyfoam. Altogether, this mattress measures 11.75 inches thick.
Brooklyn Bedding offers three firmness levels for the Signature, named Soft, Medium, and Firm. Each corresponds to a different number on our 1-10 firmness scale: medium soft (4), medium firm (6), and firm (8), respectively. Each feel offers a distinct combination of body-contouring and sleeper support, and most people should be able to find a firmness level that meets their needs. If none of these options will work for you, another Brooklyn Bedding mattress may be more suitable. These include the all-foam Bowery, as well as four additional hybrids: the Aurora Hybrid, Bloom Hybrid, Bowery Hybrid, and Spartan Hybrid.
Below, we’ll discuss the Brooklyn Bedding Signature’s construction details, prices, and performance ratings, as well as Brooklyn Bedding’s shipping, return, and warranty policies.
| Choose Soft if: | Choose Medium if: | Choose Firm if: |
|---|---|---|
| You feel most comfortable on mattresses that conform closely to your body. The coils offer strong support and create some responsiveness on the surface, but you’ll still sink somewhat deeply into the mattress. Those who tend to prefer softer mattresses include side sleepers and people who weigh less than 130 pounds. | You prefer a balance of contouring and support. These models don’t conform very closely and the coils provide strong reinforcement, but you’ll still sink a bit – especially if you weigh 130 pounds or more. Side and back sleepers tend to feel most comfortable on mattresses with mid-level surface feels. According to Brooklyn Bedding, this firmness level is their best-seller. | You’d rather sleep on a mattress that feels very supportive and offers minimal conforming. The foam layers maintain a very even plane, so you barely sink beneath the surface at all. People who weigh more than 230 pounds – back and stomach sleepers in particular – will likely find this firmness level more comfortable than the other two. |
Why We Chose the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid as the Best Value Innerspring Mattress in 2026
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid claimed a spot on our annual list of best innerspring mattresses as the best value pick. This model’s combination of high-quality construction and budget-friendly pricing stood out, and the results of our in-house product testing helped seal the deal.
The hybrid construction starts with a robust comfort system with three layers of polyfoam and a layer of memory foam to cushion and contour, helping the model earn standout marks in pressure relief. Meanwhile, the pocketed coil core and high-density polyfoam base give the supportive yet responsive feel that innerspring models are known for.
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid also comes in three distinct firmness options to suit different sleepers: medium soft (4), medium firm (6), and firm (8).
SMART MATCHING
Is the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Right for You?
Use the filters below to see how well the Brooklyn Bedding Signature lines up with your unique needs. We'll also give you a couple other recommendations based on your answers.
TEST LAB RATINGS
How the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Scored
Motion Isolation7.5/10
The Signature isolates motion fairly well. Many hybrid models feel more responsive on the surface, and this can generate more motion transfer when someone changes positions or gets in and out of bed.
The Signature’s thick foam layers absorb movement to eliminate a great deal of transfer. You may still notice some ripples of transfer across the surface on the medium soft and medium firm models. For the firm Signature, the transfer will be more noticeable.
If you tend to wake up when your sleep partner moves in bed, we recommend the medium soft or medium firm models. The firm Signature may be suitable if you’re a sound sleeper, or if you prefer a more responsive bed.
Colin Simpson, Product Research Manager: In terms of motion isolation, I’d say the Brooklyn Bedding Signature is middle of the road. The foam layers absorb movement fairly well, but the coils produce a light bounce that could be disruptive if you and/or your partner are easily awakened by motion in bed.
Pressure Relief8.5/10
The Signature offers very good pressure relief in all three firmness levels. However, the most comfortable feel for you will probably depend on your sleep position and body type.
The medium soft model conforms very closely. This feel should alleviate pressure if you sleep on your side. The foam layers provide good cushioning for the shoulders and hips, which can improve your spinal alignment and reduce pressure throughout the body.
The medium firm feel provides better relief for side and back sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds. You won’t sink too much but the foam still conforms to the body, resulting in less pressure for the shoulders, lower back, and spine.
If you weigh more than 230 pounds and/or sleep on your stomach, then the firm feel will probably alleviate the most pressure. This feel conforms very little and feels exceptionally supportive, so you don’t need to worry about the aches and pains associated with saggy, uneven mattresses.
Brad Nehring, Product Testing Manager: If pressure relief is a top priority, I recommend narrowing down which firmness will best meet your needs. As someone in the range of 130-230 pounds, I found the medium firm Signature most comfortable — a nice mellow contour and sturdy pushback from the coils to keep my spine aligned. You’ll get deeper cushioning from the medium soft and a flatter surface from the firm, so your best option really boils down to personal preference.
Temperature Control7.5/10
All three versions of the Signature sleep reasonably cool thanks to their coil systems, which promote steady airflow to help the mattress maintain a comfortable temperature. The TitanFlex surface foam is also fairly breathable compared to materials found in other hybrids, such as memory foam.
The firm feel should provide the best temperature regulation. This is because you’ll sink very little into this mattress and enjoy more surface airflow as a result. The medium soft and medium firm models conform more closely. If you’re an exceptionally hot sleeper, you may feel a bit too warm on these models as the foam contours to your body – but for most, the mattress should sleep cool and comfortable regardless of the selected firmness.
Colin Simpson, Product Research Manager: You may feel some heat retention in the Signature Hybrid’s foam layers, but steady air circulation through the coil system should help you stay cool and sleep at a comfortable temperature. The cooling pillow-top might be worth the extra money if you’re an exceptionally hot sleeper.
Edge Support8.0/10
Hybrids generally excel at edge support, and the Signature is no exception. Coil support cores reinforce the perimeter better than latex or foam. This means less sinkage when you get on and off the mattress, and more stability if you like sleeping near the edges.
The firm Signature offers the strongest perimeter support among the three available firmness levels. The comfort layer conforms minimally to ensure very little sinkage when you sit or lie near the edges. The medium soft and medium firm models sink more because the foam conforms more closely, but they still maintain good overall stability if you weigh 230 pounds or less. If you weigh more, expect more sinkage when getting in and out of bed.
Colin Simpson, Product Research Manager: How sturdy the Signature’s perimeter feels depends on which firmness you choose. The firm model feels very robust along the edges, the medium firm is fairly strong, and the medium soft sinks to a noticeable extent.
Ease of Movement7.0/10
Polyfoam is a fairly responsive material, but the latex-like TitanFlex foam used in the Signature is exceptionally bouncy. This allows you and your partner to move across the mattress rather easily. You won’t sink into the bed as you might on a mattress with memory foam.
That said, the medium soft Signature is a little more difficult when it comes to moving across the surface. This model conforms the closest, so you’ll feel more sinkage when moving between the edges and the interior of the mattress. The medium firm and firm models provide more bounce-back.
Brad Nehring, Product Testing Manager: The Signature is pretty springy, so you shouldn’t have much trouble moving on the surface or changing sleep positions. That said, I did notice more sinkage and resistance on the medium soft model compared to the firmer designs.
Durability8.0/10
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid has an estimated lifespan of six to seven years. As with other hybrids, the pocketed coils provide a solid base that evenly distributes pressure to prevent excessive strain on any one area. The most vulnerable part of the mattress is the comfort system, particularly the quilted top. The softer foams used in the mattress’ top layers may eventually develop imprints that affect the cushioning, something that’s more prominent in the softer model.

HANDS-ON TESTING
Testing Team Takeaways
To test the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid, we had three people on our testing team each take the bed home with them for one week. Here are their initial observations.

Product Testing Manager · 215 lbs · Back sleeper

I like the Brooklyn Bedding Signature for its straightforward design. The foam layers provide comfy cushioning but won’t hug you too much, and the coils give you solid support and a nice bounce without creating too much motion transfer. Hybrids of this quality at such an approachable price are hard to come by, especially when you can choose from different firmness levels.

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature is a great example of a hybrid that’s both high-quality and affordable. I also like how the foam gently cradles my body without hugging too closely.

I tested the medium soft Signature and it was perfect for my weight and sleep position. Some nice and light contouring with extra cushion for my shoulders and hips, with sturdy pushback from the coils — this mattress is exceptionally balanced.
Who it Fits
Fit by Sleep Position and Body Weight
Sizes, dimensions and weights
Soft
Side Sleepers
Many side sleepers prefer softer mattresses that cushion the shoulders and hips, promote even spinal alignment, and alleviate pressure points. In this respect, the medium soft Signature is ideal for side sleepers who weigh up to 230 pounds. Those who weigh more than 230 pounds may find this feel too soft and saggy.
Back Sleepers:
For back sleepers, a mid-level feel is typically most comfortable. This position often requires a balance of body-contouring and even support. The medium soft Signature conforms rather closely and may sink too much for back sleepers who weigh 130 pounds or more. For those who weigh less, the contouring feel will likely be very comfortable.
Stomach Sleepers:
Many stomach sleepers struggle with softer mattresses. This is because most of us carry a large portion of body weight in our midsection, and sleeping face-down can cause the body to sink too deeply. Stomach sleepers who weigh 130 pounds or more will probably find the medium soft Signature too saggy, but it should provide excellent support for those who weigh less than 130 pounds.
Medium
Side Sleepers
The balanced feel of a medium firm Signature is best suited to side sleepers who weigh between 130 and 230 pounds. They’ll experience some noticeable body-contouring and likely feel less pressure, but their bodies will remain on an even plane. Side sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds may find this model too firm, whereas it might feel too soft for those who weigh more than 230 pounds.
Back Sleepers
The medium firm Signature is well-equipped for back sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds. They won’t sink too much beneath the midsection, hips, and other relatively heavy areas of the body, and this results in comfortable conforming and less overall pressure. Back sleepers who weigh 230 pounds or more will experience deeper sinking, but the mattress is still reasonably comfortable and supportive.
Stomach Sleepers:
The medium firm Signature does not conform or sink too much. Stomach sleepers should receive adequate support regardless of their body weight, but most will notice a bit of sagging around the waist and hips. However, it’s important to note that stomach sleeping is associated with more night-to-night aches and pains than the other two positions, regardless of which mattress you use.
Firm
Side Sleepers
The firm Signature barely contours at all, leaving minimal padding for a side sleeper’s shoulders and hips. Those who weigh more than 230 pounds may prefer this feel because it means stronger support and less sinking. However, side sleepers who weigh 230 pounds or less will probably not find the mattress as supportive.
Back Sleepers
If you sleep on your back and weigh at least 130 pounds, then the firm Signature will likely feel very comfortable and supportive. You’ll receive strong reinforcement for your entire body, including areas where more weight is concentrated. Back sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds may find this model too firm and feel a bit of added pressure as a result.
Stomach Sleepers
For most stomach sleepers who weigh 130 pounds or more, this firmness level will be the most comfortable of the three. You won’t experience the same sinking around the midsection and hips as you would on a medium soft or medium firm Signature. Stomach sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds may also prefer this feel, but for some, it will be too firm.

The Signature is available for sale on the Brooklyn Bedding website. Brooklyn Bedding operates a total of 25 brick-and-mortar showrooms, all of which are in Arizona and Utah. The mattress is also available through a few brick-and-mortar partner retailers.
Shipping
Ground shipping via FedEx is free for customers in the contiguous U.S. Mattress delivery starts at $125 for customers in Alaska and Hawaii, and $250 for those in Canada. Most customers receive their mattress within three to five business days of placing their order.
The Signature is compressed, wrapped in plastic, and vacuum-sealed so that the mattress will fit in a standard shipping box. When the mattress arrives, carry the box to the room where you plan to use it and place it on its new foundation. Open the box and use a knife to remove the plastic wrapping, then watch the mattress expand. The Signature should reach its full shape within 24 to 48 hours.
Sleep Trial
The Signature’s sleep trial spans 365 nights. Brooklyn Bedding requires you to test out the mattress for at least 30 nights before you can return or exchange it.

If you are not satisfied with the bed during your sleep trial, Brooklyn Bedding may be able to modify the mattress or provide a topper to make the surface more comfortable.
Warranty
The Signature comes with a lifetime warranty that is completely non-prorated. This means Brooklyn Bedding will cover all repair or replacement costs if the mattress becomes defective during the first 10 years. Beginning in year 11, you pay a percentage of the original price to have the mattress replaced – this percentage increases each year through year 20.
Covered defects include body impressions in the surface that measure at least 1 inch deep and manufacturing flaws that cause materials to split, crack, or deteriorate prematurely. Please note that Brooklyn Bedding will void the warranty if you leave your mattress in its shipping box for more than 60 days and damage occurs as a result.
FAQs
Is Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid good?
The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid earned an overall score of 8.4 out of 10 in our Test Lab, which places it above many of its competitors. This mattress is designed to hit the sweet spot between foam and innerspring beds, offering decent cushioning without sacrificing bounce, edge support, or temperature control. With three firmness levels to choose from, most side and back sleepers should be able to find a model that works for them.
A downside is that couples may find the mattress transfers motion when one person moves. The Signature Hybrid also lacks support for stomach sleepers and those over 230 pounds.
Is Brooklyn Bedding high quality?
Since its launch in 2008, Brooklyn Bedding has garnered a reputation for producing well-built, durable mattresses. The Signature Hybrid is medium-tier within the Brooklyn Bedding lineup, featuring a blend of proprietary foams and 8-inch steel coils. While not considered a high-end luxury bed, the Signature Hybrid offers good quality for its price point, and Brooklyn Bedding has higher-end options for those who are prepared to pay a little more.
What are the negatives to a hybrid mattress?
Hybrid mattresses are designed to bring together the benefits of foam and innerspring mattresses. This means they generally perform fairly well across a broad swathe of categories, offering the pressure relief and motion isolation of a foam mattress along with the edge support, temperature control, and bounce of an innerspring. The main drawback to this concept is that a hybrid won’t usually be best in class in any of these categories.
Individual mattress performance varies greatly depending on the design of the comfort system. You can get great pressure relief from a hybrid with thick foam layers or excellent breathability from a latex hybrid.
Why was the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid chosen as the best RV mattress?
We chose the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid as the best RV mattress due to its pricing and value, comfort, and wide range of sizing options. The mattress earned favorable reviews from our testing team, particularly for pressure relief, edge support, and durability, so we expect it to hold up well on the road.
At the same time, the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid is one of the few models to come in multiple RV-friendly sizes. Options include three variations on the RV king size, along with short full, short queen, and short king.
Why was the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid chosen as the best value extra firm mattress?
The firm (8) version of the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid earned its spot as the best value in our best extra firm mattress list thanks to its supportive, durable design and budget-friendly pricing. This model’s foam layers add subtle cushioning without excessive sinkage, lending to a stable surface for sleepers seeking an extra firm mattress.
