Most foam mattresses don’t have or even really need side support if they have a support core that is firm enough and the comfort layers aren’t too thick and/or soft for the person sleeping on it. Having said that … there are exceptions to every rule and there is more information about edge support and foam mattresses in post #3 here and in post #33 here. With a foam mattress that is a suitable firmness level relative to the person sleeping on it (both in the support core and the comfort layers) then it normally wouldn’t be a significant issue for most people unless you often sleep or sit with most of your weight concentrated on the very outside edge of the mattress although the outside edges of a foam mattress would generally be softer than an innerspring mattress that has a specific edge support system.
I’ve been sleeping in the BME since November and I couldn’t be happier! No more back pain! I’ve never been more comfortable at night! It is my first time trying a non innerspring mattress and I was skeptical at first but I had nothing to worry about.
Thank you Phoenix for this forum! I would have never found such a good mattress otherwise.
It’s been about 4 months since I bought my Brooklyn Bedding Full Size Mattress and I can happily say that I am beyond satisfied with my sleep on this mattress. I used to struggle to sleep well through the night due to numerous back pains. However, after sleeping on BB Mattress, I do not feel any discomfort throughout the night! I recommend this mattress for those who are looking for a firm, but very comfortable mattress.
I bought a full medium firmness Brooklyn Bedding mattress for $650 a few months ago. It was a great upgrade from the cheaper Walmart mattress i had used for years, and cheaper than most of the high quality mattresses we saw at stores.
It’s been a great upgrade, my wife loves it. The medium is still pretty soft and comfortable - i imagine for most people it is the correct firmness.
This is the Best Mattress Ever!!! We purchased ours right around Thanksgiving and have been enjoying it ever since! We went with a Medium and it has done wonders for my husbands back. He would wake up every morning stiff and with an aching back. Not anymore…I was really skeptical that this would be the mattress for us but I am so glad that I took a chance with Brooklyn Bedding. This mattress is soft with just the right amount of support! We also received 2 free pillows with our purchase and they are amazing as well. We had always had a hard time finding the right pillow. I would say we bought new pillows at least monthly because they would lose their poof or firmness depending on the pillow. I have not thought about replacing these pillows once since we received them! I highly recommend this company and mattress, you will not regret it! And if you do their trial period is wonderful, it made my decision to try the mattress that much easier. I’m glad that we didn’t have to use the trial period …I knew after one night that this was my mattress!!!
:cheer:
At first we were a bit leery about ordering a mattress online. We did alot of research on the Brooklyn Bedding Best Mattress Ever. After looking at the reviews and looking at mattresses locally we decided to take the plunge and try it out. We ordered a King Medium firmness. We also ordered a base to go with the matress to ensure we had proper support. Set up was easy! At first the mattress smelled a little weird… so we let it air out for a couple of days before actually sleeping on it. We have had the mattress for a few months and so far we love it! We sleep much better than on a traditional spring mattress. My hips don’t hurt as much and I have a much easier time falling asleep at night.
Customer Service was great and they were very responsive to any questions I asked!! Will definatley reccommend to anyone !
I just wanted to write a review of the Best Mattress Ever that I have owned for 90 days. First, I was extremely pleased with the customer support. I called the company to ask some questions about the firmness level that would be best for me. After several questions the customer service representative led me to the medium firmness, even though I was convinced I wanted the firm. They were right, the firmness was perfect for me. The bed came quickly and was packaged nicely. After opening the mattress it fill up almost instantly and was ready to sleep on within hours. There was very little if any smell.
The best way I can describe the feel of this mattress is my general attitude towards sleeping these days. I consistently look forward to going to bed. The mattress breathes well, provides tremendous support without any hot spots. The mattress has not begun to sag in any spots and I look forward to several years of great sleep. I looked at several other mattresses that were twice as much and even a tempurpedic that was 3 times as much. I’m extremely happy that I decided to purchase the Best Mattress Ever, as it positively is the Best Mattress Ever. This mattress simply cannot be beat at this price point, and even if you could spend more money (I could) I would still choose this mattress over any other in the $1,500 or below range.
I love this mattress. It took me a while to dive into buy, as they are online only for where I live, but they had a black friday sale, with the 90 day guaranty.
I was amazed at how light and small the box was. Once opened, the mattress expand to full size within minutes., with no “new mattress” smell. It didn’t take long to get used to sleeping on, and I’ve found I sleep much better then I did before. I would recommend this mattress to anyone, and have done so already.
I bought a queen-sized mattress from Brooklyn Bedding about three months ago. I debated between all of the obvious candidates these days, Leesa, Casper, etc. I finally went with BB due to the overwhelmingly positive reviews on sites like this. Here is my takeaway…
For me personally, I love the mattress. I am a stomach and side sleeper. The mattress has - for me - a very good balance of support and comfort. If you are looking for something super soft and giving, you may or may not like the mattress, but for me it is just right.
Shipping was fast. The price was right. I sleep like an angel every night.
I just wanted to give an update since I have been sleeping on the BME for a few months now and since Phoenix has been so helpful putting this site together. I am still very happy with my purchase and I am still waking up pain free every morning. The only thing that I miss from the old memory foam mattress is that sinking in feeling so I am starting to look at a featherbed topper. Not because the BME is uncomfortable, but because I like that cloud feeling. My only concern with getting a topper is that I don’t want to compromise the support that I am getting from the BME, but I will make sure to buy from a place that has a good return policy in case it doesn’t work out.
New mattress, new sheets, new pillows and now a featherbed topper. I didn’t realize how expensive bedding could get :cheer: , but I’m having fun with it and getting closer to that perfect nights sleep!
It’s starting to look like I’m the only one who bought the soft version rather than the firm or medium. I’ve always liked pillow-tops and I thought a soft would suffice. It is actually very comfortable with some nice sheets. The heat dissipation is good despite sinking into the mattress more than others. I got a couple free pillows with my purchase as well and would agree that they are on the thick side. Instead of fluffing them, I have to smash them flat.
In case you’re wondering if the soft mattress would be good for your body, I am about 5’11", 205 LBS very muscular build. This mattress helps with the pressure points that cause my hands/arms to fall asleep when I sleep on my sides and with circulation in general (for me). This mattress is the reason I can finally sleep on my sides or even on my stomach–I can sink in deep enough to eliminate pressure points and the feeling that I am bending backwards when laying on my stomach.
After have done a ton of researched, I found Brooklyn Bedding through Reviews from Amazon and decided to order a king firm mattress. I was skeptical at first, but was convinced if I didnt sastified, I could have returned it without any charge. I used to have numb in my neck and left arm, and especially back pain. However, after 4 months of using this mattress, I dont feel any pains what so ever. I normally dont like to write any review. But this is one of the best mattress I had ever used while its price is also affordable. As the matter of fact, I’m going to order another one for my daughter.
I’ve had my mattress for several months now and I must say that it is the most comfortable mattress I have ever owned. I was nervous to get this mattress at first because I really dislike that sinking feeling that comes with other foam mattresses but this one is a dream. I opted for the medium firmness because I usually sleep on my side but sometimes on my back, and it is perfect for keeping me supported without leaving me sore. The bed came in the estimated time frame and after a couple hours of airing out I made the bed and had the best sleep of my life. I currently have my bed on a box spring mattress and it provides plenty of support and allows for air flow. I have noticed that it tends to hold heat a little more than I’m used to but nothing too crazy.
I definitely recommend this mattress to everyone. With the long trial period, ability to pay in installments, and helpful customer service, this has been the easiest mattress purchase I’ve ever made. 10/10 would recommend.
I used to have a mattress problem but now I have a pillow problem. I had been scouring ads looking for the traditional box spring mattresses. I just could not pull the trigger because I was afraid that I was going to get a terrible mattress that would eventually bow and give me back problems. I had resorted to using about 4 pillows at night to help me be comfortable.
Then a co-worker came in to me and said “millennials aren’t buying traditional mattresses”. I was intrigued and she started sending me a couple article links. The links were discussing foam mattresses from ethical companies. I finally was on the right path! After looking at several different companies and options, I decided on Brooklyn Bedding. I liked the price, the reviews, and the aesthetic of the mattress.
I ordered my new Brooklyn Bedding Queen sized medium firmness mattress. They provided free shipping and I used a discount code. I received my bed 3 days before the scheduled delivery date, so I was pleased to get it early. Took it out and let it do its thing to expand. I was so excited to finally sleep on a new mattress.
And now, ever since then, I really have not looked back. I love my mattress and I have been sleeping on it for 3 months now. I do have a pillow problem now because I have so many pillows that I no longer need. I only use 1-2 pillows and I sleep like a dream. Highly recommend!
My goodness, I have have never seen so many positive responses to a post on this forum. This must really be the the “best mattress ever”!!! I wasn’t even considering this bed, but now I will have to give it some second thought.
Congratulations to all of you on your new mattresses
As you know I think you made a great quality/value choice and I hope you also enjoy the sheets you will be receiving for reviewing your mattress as well.
