Many mattresses claim to be cooling, but few deliver on that promise. As a hot sleeper who suffers from night sweats, especially during the summer, I need a specialist cooling mattress to carry any excess thermal energy away from my body and out of bed. I haven't had much luck with hybrid mattresses in the past: most are breathable, but none actually felt cool to the touch.
Back in Spring 2024, I took a trip to the Brooklyn Bedding factory in Glendale, Arizona, to see how a mattress is made. While I was there, I sampled more than 40 mattresses from Brooklyn Bedding and some of their sister brands, including Bear, Leesa, and Nolah. I liked the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Cooling Mattress so much that I took it home for long-term testing.
