Motion Transfer

Our motion transfer test is a way to measure how well a mattress prevents disruptions from traveling across the mattress surface. Both mattresses scored above average in this category, but the Tuft & Needle does a better job of motion isolation than the Brooklyn Signature, so it’s a better choice for couples and light sleepers.

Edge Support

Edge support is often an underrated mattress quality, but it’s especially important if you need to utilize the full width and length of your mattress, or if you often find yourself sitting on the edge of the bed.

The Brooklyn Signature mattress scored significantly higher than the Tuft & Needle for edge support, although Tuft & Needle still scored above average. We recommend the Brooklyn Signature for those concerned about sinking or rolling off the side of the bed.

Pressure Relief

The Brooklyn Signature also outperformed the Tuft & Needle mattress in the category of pressure relief. Again, both mattresses scored above average, but the Brooklyn Signature is definitely the better choice for side sleepers.

Stomach sleepers need a combination of pressure relief and spinal alignment, and since both mattresses received the same score for spinal alignment, the Brooklyn Signature is cumulatively the better choice.

Back sleepers need the least amount of pressure relief, but it is still an important factor, particularly if you tend to start the night on your back and rotate to your stomach or side.

Cooling

The Brooklyn Signature mattress is a noticeably cooler mattress than the Tuft & Needle, due in part to the breathable pocketed coil layer and gel infused foam. 

The graphite and ceramic beads in the Tuft & Needle mattress definitely add a cooling element, but not as much as the cooling features in the Brooklyn Signature.
