Brooklyn Bedding Spartan Review: Should You Buy It?

Choose Medium if you want the firmness choice rated by more than one outside tester. Brooklyn Bedding offers Soft, Medium, and Firm on its Soft to Firm scale. The ratings give you outside descriptions for Medium and Soft; compare each score on its tester's scale.

For sleepers above 230 lbs, Sleep Foundation scores the Spartan strongest for side sleeping. Choose with your main position in mind, since the bed has different ratings by position.

• Side: 9/10, the highest of the three ratings.
• Back: 6.5/10, below side.
• Stomach: 6/10, the lowest of the three.

For combination sleepers above 230 lbs, weigh all three ratings against the positions you use most; the side rating may not fit a night spent mainly on your back or stomach.

Brooklyn Bedding says the Spartan is designed to support up to 950 pounds, a support limit rather than a comfort rating. Sleep Foundation rated edge support 8/10, relevant if you sit or sleep near the mattress edge.

The Medium is the firmness Sleepopolis ties to back comfort. That is not a promise of pain relief. Brooklyn Bedding says the Spartan’s coil core is zoned in three areas to provide support where needed and pressure-point relief. Sleepopolis’s reviewer felt comfortable on their back on the Medium and recommends it for sleepers who like lower-back contouring. The reviewer advises stomach sleepers with back pain to choose the firmer model.

The Spartan is presented as a neutral sleeper, not a warm one. Brooklyn Bedding says its cooling top panel draws heat away and TitanCool™ helps maintain ideal skin temperature. It also lists copper flecks in CopperFlex™ for conducting heat away, plus gel infusions in TitanFlex™ and memory foam. Outside cooling ratings were positive: Sleep Advisor scored Temperature Regulation / Cooling 5/5, Sleepopolis rated Cooling A+, and Mattress Clarity rated Cooling 4.5/5. Sleepiverse scored Cooling 8.2, but says it has not directly tested this mattress.

You may feel your partner move. Sleep Advisor rated the Spartan's Motion Transfer 3.5/5 and Bounce 5/5. For a light sleeper, these readings are a caution: with a restless partner, do not assume movement will go unnoticed. The 5/5 bounce reading points to a lively response, so choose this bed only if you can accept that risk.

The Queen list price was $1,999 on 2026-10-22; the Spartan is worth it only if that fits your budget and its size fits your room. Compare the listed dimensions with your bed frame and floor space before choosing. The table helps you weigh the size you can use against the price you are ready to pay. Prices can change, so check the live price before buying.

Spartan list prices by size

Height: 13.5 inches

The Spartan’s identified foam layers run from top to bottom in this order: CopperFlex™, Soft Supreme Response Comfort Foam, then Gel Swirl Memory Foam.

• CopperFlex™: antimicrobial foam with phase change material (PCM), 1.5 inches (Soft option).
• Soft Supreme Response Comfort Foam: hyper-elastic foam, 2 inches (Soft option).
• Gel Swirl Memory Foam: memory foam with cooling gel.

Brooklyn Bedding says the mattress is assembled in Arizona. Under the foams, the core is 8 inches of up to 1,032 individually encased Ascension® coils, zoned in three areas. The first two listed depths apply to the Soft option, so compare that layer build with the version you plan to buy.

The Spartan has a Smart Fabric Performance Cover. Brooklyn Bedding says its foams are CertiPUR-US certified; that certification covers the foams. GREENGUARD Gold covers the mattress. These claims apply to different parts, so read each by its named scope rather than treating one part's certification as proof about all materials.

Brooklyn Bedding says its mattresses are 100% fiberglass free. For shoppers who want to avoid fiberglass, the brand’s statement offers a direct answer to consider when weighing the Spartan. Use it to decide whether the company’s assurance is enough for you. Then weigh the other product details that matter to your choice.

Sleep Foundation gives the Spartan a 7.5/10 durability score, while Brooklyn Bedding says it takes around 30-45 nights to break in. Give it that time before judging whether its feel suits you. Brooklyn Bedding also says to rotate it every 6 to 8 months, but never flip or invert it. Set a reminder so this care step does not get forgotten.

Brooklyn Bedding says the Spartan ships compressed in a box by FedEx Ground, to your door. Allow 5 to 8 business days for it to ship, then about 2 to 5 business days by FedEx. Setup is not included, and there is no White Glove service. Old mattress removal is not offered, except for free haul away on California deliveries, so plan to move your old bed yourself elsewhere.

Brooklyn Bedding says the Spartan's trial lasts 365 nights and lists its return fee as No fee. That gives you time to decide whether to keep the mattress without a return charge to weigh against your budget.

Brooklyn Bedding's Limited Lifetime warranty requires a sag deeper than 1.5 in; normal softening is not covered. For beds bought after Feb 1, 2025, the original buyer alone is covered. Slats more than 5 in apart, cover removal, burns, cuts, stains, liquid damage, or beds from unauthorized sellers void it.

The owner must return the mattress; Brooklyn Bedding chooses repair or replacement. Years 1 to 10 are no cost. Then 50% for years 11 to 15, 60% for years 16 to 20, and 75% from year 21 on, based on the current retail price for this model and size.

Owner feedback is positive, and Tuck says long-term odor is not a major issue. Brooklyn Bedding's own site rates the Spartan 4.614035 / 5 from 456 reviews, a snapshot of feedback from buyers who reviewed it there.

On Brooklyn Bedding's site, Sleep Quality is an 18% theme, with customers praising comfort and quality. Product Quality is a 7% praise theme, while Mattress Firmness is a 5% praise theme tied to medium firmness. These themes may help if you want a medium feel, but owner praise cannot guarantee it will suit you.

Yes. Brooklyn Bedding launched the Spartan in 2018. By 2023, it had added reinforced perimeter springs to strengthen the corners and edges. For buyers today, this update means stronger edge support, with the added reinforcement focused around the bed's perimeter.
