Brooklyn Bedding ThermoBalance Review: Should You Buy?

Pick from Soft, Medium, or Firm based on the feel you prefer. Sleep Foundation rated the Soft option Medium Soft (4), the Medium option Medium Firm (6), and the Firm option Firm (7) on its firmness scale of 1 to 10. Choose Soft for the softer end, Medium for the middle reading, or Firm for the firmest reading. The tester labels for Soft and Medium differ from Brooklyn Bedding's option names, so compare the exact rating as well. Sleep Foundation updated its review October 7, 2026.

For sleepers over 230 lb, the ThermoBalance collection is a better fit for side sleeping than back or stomach sleeping, according to Sleep Foundation.

• For side sleeping, look at firm (7): softer options permit too much sink. Sleep Foundation rated this fit 6.5.
• For back sleeping, the 5.5 rating and reports of torso sink make it a weak match if torso sink is a concern.
• For stomach sleeping, the 5.0 rating is a caution. Virtually all testers found even the firmest version too soft, and abdomen sink can lead to poor spinal alignment.

Lying edge support is a plus if you sleep near the edge: NapLab's tester called it outstanding in all sleeping positions.

The ThermoBalance may be worth considering for support, but it is not a promise of back-pain relief. Brooklyn Bedding highlights 3-zoned lumbar support. NapLab's reviewer reported feeling well supported in all sleeping positions on the ThermoBalance. That is a support signal, not a back-pain result. Use it as one part of your choice, and judge the bed by your own comfort rather than expecting pain relief.

The ThermoBalance’s listed design promotes airflow, and NapLab measured a maximum surface temperature of 89.0° F. Brooklyn Bedding lists a ThermoCool cover, ThermoPhase foam with phase-change material, quilt foam, copper-infused memory foam, and 360-degree airflow through encased coils and open-cell foams. NapLab reports a surface reading, not a warm-or-neutral sleep verdict, so treat the number as a temperature check rather than a promise about how the bed will feel.

You may feel your partner move, but the outside readings suggest limited motion and bounce. NapLab rated motion transfer low at 7.45 m/s² acceleration range and bounce low at 7.80″ total height. Sleep Foundation scored motion isolation 8.5/10, and its tester reported little bounce. For a light sleeper with a restless partner, that points to a lower risk of disruption, not a promise of undisturbed sleep. Use motion isolation and bounce as key checks when comparing beds.

ThermoBalance collection list prices by size

Height: 14 inches

The listed build places the ThermoCool Cover, ThermoPhase Foam, and Quilt Foam above the coil unit, with Supportive Base Foam below.

• ThermoCool Cover uses cool tech fibers.
• ThermoPhase Foam is 0.75 inches of foam infused with temperature-regulating Phase Change Material (PCM). Brooklyn Bedding says it absorbs and releases heat to maintain sleep temperature.
• Quilt Foam is 0.75 inches of foam.
• Ascension Zoned Coil has 8 inches of encased coils. Supportive Base Foam is 0.75 inches of foam.
• The construction also names copper-infused memory foam and VariFlex transition foam.

Up to 1,032 encased coils is a maximum, not a fixed count. Brooklyn Bedding says the coils are zoned for motion isolation, edge reinforcement, and support. It says the mattress is assembled in Arizona.

The ThermoBalance has a ThermoCool cover with cool tech fibers; its listed certifications address foam and mattress emissions. Brooklyn Bedding says the fibers remove excess heat from the sleep surface. CertiPUR-US applies to flexible polyurethane foam, while GREENGUARD Gold covers mattress-product emissions. These labels address specific scopes, not every material in the bed.

Brooklyn Bedding labels the ThermoBalance collection fiberglass free in a product image. For the fire barrier material in your own mattress, check its law tag, which lists the materials used in the bed. If you are shopping in person, read the tag on the specific mattress before making a choice.

Sleep Foundation expects the ThermoBalance to hold up for at least 6 to 7 years; Brooklyn Bedding says most of its mattresses should be rotated every 6 to 8 months and never flipped or inverted. Sleep Foundation also gives it a durability score of 7.0/10. Treat the lifespan as an estimate, not a promise about how long your mattress will last.

Brooklyn Bedding says the ThermoBalance ships compressed in a box by FedEx Ground to your door, with no setup or White Glove service. Allow 5 to 8 business days before it ships, then about 2 to 5 business days for FedEx delivery. Old mattress removal is not offered, except for free haul-away on California deliveries, so plan to arrange disposal elsewhere.

The brand says this mattress has a trial of 365 nights and lists the return fee as No fee. This gives you a long window to decide whether the mattress works for you without budgeting for an added return charge.

For original buyers of beds bought after Feb 1, 2025, Brooklyn Bedding's Limited Lifetime warranty covers 1.5 in sag and does not transfer.

Years 1 to 10 cost nothing; after that, your share of the current retail price for that model and size is 50% in years 11 to 15, 60% in 16 to 20, and 75% from 21 on.

Normal softening is not covered. Slats more than 5 in apart, cover removal, burns, cuts, stains, liquid damage, or unauthorized sellers also void coverage.

Brooklyn Bedding chooses repair or replacement; you must return the mattress for a claim.

On Brooklyn Bedding's site, owners praise the medium's comfort but commonly complain about edge give and average cooling. The site lists a 4.45 / 5 rating from 20 reviews. The score comes from the maker's own review page, so use it as customer feedback, not an outside test. Those complaints matter if you want steady edge support or a distinctly cool feel. Sleep Foundation separately reports that customers of the two luxury models praise sturdy feel and resistance to overheating, which is useful context but not a score for the ThermoBalance mattress.
