General
We use the safest materials in the mattress industry, guaranteed. Our foam is CertiPUR-US Certified, which means it's toxin free and meets the highest health standards in the industry.
There is a natural scent when unpacking our mattress for the first time. This smell will dissipate within a few hours when well ventilated.
Following the South Dakota vs. Wayfair, Inc. ruling, all online retailers that generate substantial economic activity in that state must now collect sales tax. If you are being charged sales tax by Brooklyn Bedding, but live outside of South Dakota, it means your select state now requires collection of the tax as well.
Due to recent developments regarding consumer loans in Iowa and West Virginia, financing may be restricted or unavailable to residents in those states.

Selecting a Brooklyn Bedding Mattress
Selecting a firmness level depends on your sleep needs, common sleep position and personal preference.
If you’d like a personal recommendation or further help selecting a firmness level, you can speak with a Sleep Specialist via email or chat. You can contact a Sleep Specialist here.
Mattresses
We recommend rotating your mattress 180 degrees every 6 to 8 months. This rotation helps evenly distribute weight across the bed.
Most Brooklyn Bedding mattresses should be rotated every 6 to 8 months but never flipped (or inverted). Our mattresses are designed with comfort layers on top and support layers on bottom, including individually encased coils in hybrid models. We also use higher quality materials that last much longer than traditional mattresses. The exceptions to the “no flip” rule are the Plank and Plank Hybrid mattresses by Brooklyn Bedding, the EcoSleep by Brooklyn Bedding and the Propel All-Foam and Propel Hybrid mattresses by Brooklyn Bedding. These mattresses are designed with varying firmness levels on either side of the mattress and can be flipped to customize your sleep experience.
Any type of support system that provides minimal to no flex will work with our mattress. This includes most platform, slat, and box spring foundations. If you need a foundation for your new mattress, check out our foundations specifically designed for Brooklyn Bedding mattresses here.
Brooklyn Bedding does not use chemical fire sprays or chemical retardants in our mattresses. We do use the highest quality fire retardant socks—a fabric made of a non-woven silica/rayon/polyester/cotton blend.
All mattresses develop minimal body impressions on contact. We have specifically chosen the most durable foams in the industry with the highest material integrity to minimize body impressions and maximize restorative properties.
Foundations
Our foundations vary in height depending on the type of foundation. Below are the heights and available clearance space for each of our foundations.
| Foundation | (storage space beneath foundation) Clearance |
Height |
|---|---|---|
| Adjustable Bases | approx. 10” | 12” |
| Platforms | approx. 12” | 13.5” |
| Bi-Fold Foundations | No clearance | 8” |
The Bi-Fold Foundation is designed with both vertical and horizontal slats that provide all the needed support. Its design does not require any additional support for your mattress.
The easy zip-off cover for the Bi-Fold foundation is available in a combination of black and white as pictured. We currently do not offer the cover in any other colors.
No, we do not currently sell the Bi-Fold foundation with a frame. Frames must be purchased separately.
This comes down to personal preference. While it is certainly possible to use a box spring on top of the High Rise Platform foundation, the platform can support either a mattress on its own or a mattress with a box spring.
Sleep Accessories
Yes, the mattress protector is made of cotton terry, which is designed to be both easy care and hypo-allergenic.
As with all mattress protectors, it will have a very small impact on the overall breathability of your mattress as a trade-off for its superior protection against allergens and fluids. That said, the mattress protector is designed with very breathable materials and will still sleep cool and comfortable.
No, the mattress protector fits like a fitted sheet and therefore is not a full encasement. Made from cotton terry, the mattress protector is designed to be easily machine washable and breathable, distinct from a mattress encasement.
Yes, our sheets are designed to fit mattresses with a thickness from 11" to 14".
Yes, you can adjust the firmness by adding or removing the shredded stuffing. We ship the premium shredded foam pillow overstuffed, and by simply removing some of the stuffing, you can easily adjust to your preferred firmness.
All of our pillow covers are washable. Simply remove the cover, machine wash on a gentle setting, tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. We recommend only spot cleaning the pillow insert.
As a general rule, side sleepers require higher loft; stomach sleepers require lower loft; back and combination sleepers have the latitude to choose high or low loft, depending on preference. Check out our blog here for more tips.
Setting up & Caring for your Brooklyn Mattress
You can spot clean the cover with a mild detergent, gently dabbing the cover instead of rubbing it. If you're expecting liquid spills or stains, we recommend investing in a mattress protector which is easily washable.
Mattress protectors are not required, but we highly recommend purchasing one to protect your investment. A mattress protector is great for added protection against dust mites, liquid spills, and extending the life of your mattress. See our mattress protectors here.
It is not necessary to do anything beyond sleeping on your mattress for it to break in naturally, but there are some methods that can help expedite this process. Below are some options if you prefer to speed up the adjustment period of your mattress:
- You can either carefully walk across or bounce gently on your mattress to help aerate the fibers and foam within your mattress.
- If your bed has encased springs, it can help to pull on the edges of your mattress to aid in expansion. Please note that this is not a suggested technique for all-foam mattresses.
- Keep the room where your mattress is located well ventilated for the first 24 hours. This will help the odor dissipate and your mattress to aerate fully.
It typically takes around 30 to 45 nights for your mattress to entirely break in, and the same amount of time for your body to adjust to the sensation of a new mattress. Over this period of time, your mattress will reach its optimal softness and allow full aeration.
Because of this adjustment period we require at least 30 days on your new mattress before processing your no-hassle return.
We recommend keeping your mattress in the box for no longer than three weeks after it has arrived at your door. While your mattress is safe to keep rolled for up to 60 days, compression beyond this period does hold some risk for slowing the expansion of your mattress. If you anticipate a delay in setting up your mattress, our team can delay shipping your mattress after purchase. Contact our customer service team for more information.
For best results, we recommend allowing your mattress to sit between 3 to 5 hours before laying on it. Keep in mind the natural odor in your mattress may take up to 24 hours after unpacking to entirely dissipate.
Setting up your mattress is easy! Simply take the mattress out of the box and lay it on the front of your bed frame. Carefully unwrap or carefully cut the plastic cover to allow for decompression of your mattress. This can take a few minutes to fully decompress.
Note that while the majority of decompression occurs within the first few minutes of unboxing, decompression does continue for up to 24 hours after unwrapping.
No. Handles sewn into the side panels of select mattresses should never be used to lift or transport the mattress. The handles are designed to be decorative and should only be used on rare occasions for very slight adjustments to the mattress alignment. Handles are not included in the 10-year warranty. Mattresses cannot be returned or exchanged due to wear and tear or damage to the handles.

Our 120-night trial applies to mattresses only. Sheets, mattress protectors and pillows can be returned 30 days after the date of purchase for a full refund.

We are confident we have made the best bedding products, so we back them with a generous trial period of 120 nights! We do require that you try your new mattress for at least 30 days from the date of delivery. This gives you ample time to properly adjust to the new materials. The trial date begins when you receive your mattress and can only be used once per customer per calendar year.
Often, a mattress will feel firmer early in the adjustment and breaking in process. If, however, after 30 days your mattress continues to feel too firm, there are a number of ways to help create your ideal firmness level without exchanging your mattress.
We offer a free topper to help make a mattress feel softer without sacrificing support. These toppers are made of high-quality foam and help increase pressure point relief. Contact our customer service team for more information.
If after trying a mattress topper you are still not satisfied with the comfort level of your mattress, we can assist you with an exchange or return and full refund.

All Brooklyn Bedding mattresses are proudly custom crafted in Phoenix, Arizona. Due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, some of our sleep products may take longer than usual to produce. In addition, several carriers are experiencing delays in pick-up and shipping. Most purchases are shipped via FedEx or UPS.
Unfortunately, after a product has been shipped, it cannot be modified in any way. Cancelled orders are subject to a $60 fee.
All products shipped from our manufacturing facility are delivered via national carrier, typically FedEx. Once a shipping label is created and products leave our facility, the final delivery date is at the discretion of the carrier. While we cannot guarantee that a product shipment will arrive on a customer’s preferred date, we can delay a shipment to ensure it arrives after a specified date. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team at 1-888-210-8751 so that we can best accommodate any special requests.
In very rare cases, the plastic wrap that keeps your mattress compressed can slightly split open during shipping. Generally, this does not cause any damage to the mattress and does not negatively affect normal expansion of the mattress after full removal of the plastic.
However, if you do notice any damage from split plastic, keep the mattress compressed and take pictures of the split itself, along with any damage you see after expansion. You can contact our customer support team, who will assess the damage and determine if a return and full refund is applicable.
We always recommend lifting the box with assistance from another person. However, if moving the mattress yourself, we suggest using either moving straps or a dolly. Since the mattress is tightly compressed in durable plastic within the box, moderate damage to the box itself should not damage the mattress.
No. Handles sewn into the side panels of select mattresses should never be used to lift or transport the mattress. The handles are designed to be decorative and should only be used on rare occasions for very slight adjustments to the mattress alignment. Handles are not included in the 10-year warranty.
