Brooklyn Bedding Spartan Mattress Review

Soft: 4/5, Medium: 3/5, Firm: 2/5

Multiple layers of foam in the comfort system of the Brooklyn Bedding Spartan mattress absorb movements and prevent them from transferring across the bed. This comfort system includes one inch of memory foam, which is slower to return to its original shape than polyfoam. This helps the mattress isolate motion exceptionally well. The pocketed coils respond individually, which also minimizes motion transfer.

Generally, hybrid mattresses do not isolate motion as well as a foam mattress might. But since the Spartan mattress has a thick foam comfort system, it performs better in this category than the average hybrid.

The soft and medium firmness options utilize softer foams in the comfort system. This allows both mattresses to conform more closely and absorb movement better than the firm mattress. Sleepers may feel their partner get in and out of bed, but smaller movements like shifting or changing positions are less likely to be felt.

The Brooklyn Bedding Spartan mattress is a standout pick for pressure relief. It has more than four inches of foam in its comfort system, which helps relieve pressure and cushions sharp areas like the shoulders and hips.

The first layer of foam is responsive and immediately relieves pressure points. The second layer is hyper-elastic polyfoam, which offers moderate contouring. This layer has a latex-like feel, so it bounces back quickly and adjusts to your body as it moves. The third layer of memory foam offers deep compression support and additional contouring. The pocketed coils are responsive and help keep the spine aligned.

There are three firmness options available, so sleepers can choose how conforming they want the mattress to be. The soft option conforms closely, while the medium option balances contouring and support. The firm option offers minimal contouring, but ample support. All three firmness levels are highly rated for pressure relief.

The Spartan Hybrid mattress regulates temperature and prevents the feeling of sleeping hot. Several components within the mattress allow it to perform better than the average hybrid mattress in this category.

The smart cover with Far Infrared Rays technology actively converts body heat into energy. This prevents heat from building up in the cover of the mattress, as it is converted and reflected back for rest and recovery.

The first comfort layer of foam is infused with copper and TitanCool gel beads. Both of these materials are highly conductive, meaning they draw heat away from the body.

The mattress uses memory foam in the third layer, which tends to retain heat. However, the memory foam utilized in the Spartan mattress is infused with gel to prevent heat from building up. This layer is also beneath two layers of polyfoam, which regulate temperature.

The pocketed coils add airflow throughout the Spartan mattress and dissipate heat.

It should be noted that the soft option conforms closely, which can reduce the amount of airflow around the body. This gives it a slightly lower rating for temperature control when compared to the medium and firm options.

The pocketed coil base of the Spartan mattress translates to solid edge support. The thick foam comfort system is resilient, so it bounces back quickly after pressure is applied. This prevents sagging along the edges over time. The latex-like layer of foam is especially buoyant.

The edge support found in the Spartan mattress is what we would expect from a hybrid mattress. Those who sleep near the edge of the bed should feel supported. Edge support also makes it easier to get in and out of bed.

The foam in the soft option compresses more easily, so it should be noted that it feels less supportive if you sit on the edge of the bed. The medium and firm options have better edge support.

Most hybrid mattresses are known for ease of movement, due to the bounce provided by innerspring coils. The Spartan mattress performs well in this category. It is easy to change positions as needed.

The comfort system of the Spartan mattress includes buoyant polyfoam, which has a similar feel to latex. This layer bounces back to its original shape quickly and prevents feeling restricted.

The coil base adds ample bounce in each firmness option. This allows combination sleepers to change positions easily throughout the night. It is also an important factor for couples.

The soft Spartan mattress inhibits movement to a certain extent, but the tradeoff is that it has better motion isolation and pressure relief. Those who prioritize ease of movement may want to consider the medium or firm mattress.

The Brooklyn Bedding Spartan mattress is a good option for couples. The resilient foam layers ensure ease of movement, while the coils add bounce. This makes it easy to change positions during sex.

The solid edge support of the mattress increases the usable surface area for couples.

The coils are quiet, and any potential noise is minimized by the surrounding foam layers. This makes the Spartan mattress a discreet choice for couples.

The soft Spartan mattress has a slightly lower rating in this category, since it has less edge support and the conforming foam layers can inhibit movement. The medium and firm options are highly rated.

Off-gassing is to be expected with any mattress that utilizes synthetic foam. This is often intensified by vacuum-sealing and packaging the mattress in plastic.

The Brooklyn Bedding Spartan mattress has an initial odor when it is first unboxed. This smell is the result of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are released when the mattress is unwrapped. This is not considered harmful, as the Spartan mattress is CertiPUR-US Certified. This means it is low in VOCs and does not include any harmful chemicals in its construction.

The smell should dissipate within a few days. Keeping the bedroom well-ventilated will help.
