Brooklyn Signature Hybrid — 5 Years Old
The Cover
Some pilling and slight discoloration where they slept, but no tears or major wear. The quilted top was still intact. For 5 years of nightly use by a couple, this cover held up well.
Body Impressions & Sagging
Checking for dips and body impressions
About half an inch where the main sleepers laid. For 5 years of nightly use by a couple, that's good. Most mattresses at this age show more compression. No sagging in the middle — the coils were still doing their job.
How It Feels
Walking on the mattress to test support
The mattress still had bounce. When I laid on it, the coils pushed back. It didn't feel dead or bottomed out. The TitanFlex foam layer was still responsive — not that slow, sinking memory foam feel. After 5 years, this mattress still felt like a mattress should.
Edge Support
Sitting on the edge to test support
This is where bed-in-a-box hybrids fall short. The edge sinks more than I'd like when sitting on it. This is common with compressed hybrids — they don't have a border rail around the coil unit because that would prevent the mattress from rolling up in a box. If you sleep close to the edge or sit on the edge a lot, you'll notice more sink than a traditional mattress.
The Layers
The layers exposed after 5 years of use
Layer 1: TitanFlex Comfort Foam (Top)
Brooklyn's TitanFlex is NOT memory foam — it bounces back immediately, more like latex. After 5 years, this comfort layer had some compression where the sleepers laid, but it still had resilience. It wasn't crumbling or turning to dust like cheap memory foam does.
Layer 2: Transition Foam
Still solid. This layer sits between the comfort foam and coils and was doing its job — no poke-through, no breakdown.
Layer 3: Pocketed Coil Unit (8 inches, ~800 coils)
This is what I was most curious about — the support layer is the most important part of any mattress. I compressed random coils by hand — they still had snap to them. In cheap mattresses at 5 years, the coils are dead. These were still providing support.
Testing the coils — they still had tension
The TitanFlex foam is legitimate — it's responsive like latex, not slow like memory foam. The pocketed coil count matches what Brooklyn advertises. This is the construction they claim.
Fiberglass Check
No fiberglass fire sock inside
No Fiberglass
Brooklyn Bedding doesn't use fiberglass in any of their mattresses. Made in their USA factory.
A lot of budget mattresses use a fiberglass fire sock to meet flame retardant standards. Brooklyn Bedding uses a rayon/polyester knit sock instead. No fiberglass contamination risk.
Available Sizes
One of the reasons I recommend Brooklyn Bedding is they offer more sizes than most online brands. If you have an RV, camper, or odd-sized bed frame, they've got you covered.
Standard Sizes
- Twin — 38" x 75"
- Twin XL — 38" x 80"
- Full — 53" x 75"
- Queen — 60" x 80"
- King — 76" x 80"
- CA King — 72" x 84"
Specialty & RV Sizes
- Short Full — 48" x 74" (great for smaller spaces)
- Short Queen — 60" x 74" (most common RV size)
- Olympic Queen — 66" x 80" (6" wider than standard queen)
- Short King — 72" x 75"
- RV King — 70" x 74", 70" x 80", 72" x 80"
- Split CA King — 36" x 84" (order 2 for adjustable base)
- RV Bunk — 42" x 80"
Most online mattress companies only offer standard sizes. Brooklyn Bedding makes everything in their Phoenix factory, so they can do custom and specialty sizes without the massive upcharge you'd get elsewhere.
Who This Mattress Is For
Good For
- Couples who want a mattress that lasts
- People who like responsive foam (not slow memory foam)
- Hot sleepers (coils + TitanFlex breathe better)
- Anyone wanting mid-range quality
Probably Not For
- People who sit on the edge of the bed a lot
- Sleepers who sleep right on the edge
- People who want that slow memory foam hug
- Ultra-light sleepers (coils have some motion)
- Anyone on a very tight budget
If you want something that's going to hold up for 8-10 years of nightly use, the Signature Hybrid is a solid choice. It's Brooklyn Bedding's flagship for a reason.
My Take
I've picked up a lot of Brooklyn Signature mattresses through our recycling business. They're one of the more consistent mattresses I see in terms of holding up over time.
This 5-year-old Signature had plenty of life left. The owners were replacing it because they were moving, not because it was worn out. That tells you something.
The TitanFlex foam holds up better than memory foam over time. The pocketed coils last. At ~$999 on sale for a Queen, you're getting real construction that'll hold up.
If you want a reliable hybrid mattress that'll last, this is a solid choice.
