I have a tendency to feel warm while sleeping, irrespective of the time of year. Even during a trip to snowy Finland in January, I switched off the heat and opened the window, yet woke up soaked in sweat. After experimenting with cooling mattress toppers, airy percale sheets, and lightweight linen sleepwear, my issue with overheating persisted. Therefore, when Brooklyn Bedding launched a new line of mattresses aimed at staying cool, I was intrigued yet skeptical.

Having tested a queen-sized Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro mattress ($1,332) for three weeks, I can assert that it is the coolest mattress I’ve ever used. Not only did I avoid experiencing night sweats, but it was also exceptionally comfortable, and the price is surprisingly reasonable for its quality.

Initial Thoughts on the CopperFlex Pro Mattress

Receiving a mattress compressed in a cardboard box is truly a modern innovation. While foam can be compressed, getting a multi-layered hybrid mattress with innerspring coils, like the CopperFlex Pro, in a manageable package is quite remarkable. I would have found it difficult to move the box on my own, but after my partner and I unboxed it and set it on the bed frame, the setup was straightforward.

The CopperFlex Pro is advertised to expand to 14 inches in height, and it reached 13 inches just three minutes after unpacking. An hour later, it settled at 13.5 inches, which remained consistent. I was completely fine with a 13.5-inch tall bed.

I opted for the CopperFlex Pro instead of the standard CopperFlex because the Pro version features a Glaciotex cooling cover. It felt cool to the touch from the start and didn’t retain heat after I got off the bed. However, the Glaciotex cover is somewhat slippery. My fitted sheet remained on the mattress but shifted along with me. Since my priority was cooling, I accepted the slick surface for a sweat-free sleep.

How is the Brooklyn Bedding Mattress Constructed?

The Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex mattresses incorporate copper-infused memory foam. Copper is renowned for its cooling attributes due to its high thermal conductivity, aiding in heat absorption. The hybrid design promotes enhanced airflow as innerspring coils allow air circulation, minimizing heat retention compared to all-foam mattresses.

Copper is also antimicrobial and antiviral, which is advantageous since washing a mattress or applying antibacterial cleaners isn’t feasible.

Brooklyn Bedding provides four editions of the CopperFlex mattress. The all-foam CopperFlex is the least expensive at $665 for a queen size. The hybrid CopperFlex retails at $932 for a queen and features innerspring coil support, making it suitable for individuals with back or hip discomfort. The CopperFlex Pro includes a cooling cover and has both a memory foam variation ($1,065 for a queen) and the hybrid CopperFlex Pro ($1,332). The hybrid version consists of six layers of support, including an eight-inch coil layer.

Is the CopperFlex Pro Truly Cooling?

Due to the cooling cover, copper-infused memory foam, and hybrid construction, the CopperFlex Pro is the coolest mattress I’ve ever slept on. I did not wake up feeling overly hot, which is remarkable considering my history of waking up soaked.

Prior to trying the CopperFlex Pro, I had an all-foam bed that would heat up at night, so switching to the Brooklyn Bedding mattress was a noticeable improvement.

My thermostat is set to drop to 68 at night, but I allowed it to rise to 74 during the day while I was testing the mattress. During daytime naps, I didn’t wake up feeling excessively warm.

I was highly impressed with the cooling capabilities of the CopperFlex Pro. I slept at a comfortable temperature every night, which hasn’t occurred in years.

How Does the CopperFlex Pro Feel?

Brooklyn Bedding categorizes the CopperFlex Pro as medium-firm, rating it a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. I personally prefer a firm mattress and dislike the sensation of sinking into memory foam. Although I don’t perceive it as medium-firm, I found it quite enjoyable. It felt more akin to a medium firmness. Initially, I thought it might be too soft, but I came to love it. The comfort layers didn’t envelop me, so I felt as if I were sleeping on top of the mattress. The eight-inch layer of innerspring coils offered a responsive push-back rather than a pronounced bounce, which I appreciated.

Motion isolation on the CopperFlex Pro was impressive. As a light sleeper, motion isolation is essential for me. I was apprehensive about shifting from an all-foam bed to a hybrid model, but the CopperFlex Pro excelled at isolating motion compared to my all-foam mattress.

In terms of comfort, I didn’t wake up feeling sore or unsupported. I primarily sleep on my stomach but also on my side and sometimes on my back. Finding the perfect mattress is difficult, yet the CopperFlex Pro was comfortable in every position. I didn’t wake up with neck, shoulder, or hip pain, which is uncommon for me. This makes it an excellent choice for combination sleepers and a plush guest bedroom mattress.

One letdown was the
