Who Is the Bowery Hybrid Mattress Best for?

Bowery Hybrid Review at a Glance

What we love about the Bowery Hybrid:

• It’s a super budget-friendly mattress
• The combination of pocket coils with memory foam provides a combination of targeted pressure point relief and contouring comfort – a perfect balance!
• If you want to see the Brooklyn Bowery mattress for yourself (and live in Arizona, Utah, Michigan or Minnesota) you can visit one of their showroom locations. Note: even though they have retail locations, Brooklyn Bedding still owns the manufacturing process from start to finish and sells their mattresses directly to customers.

How the Bowery Hybrid Performed

Take a look at our review of the Bowery Hybrid mattress and see how it performed in our testing to help you determine if this could be the mattress for you.

We’ll hit the highlights of our testing, then you can dig in to some behind-the-scenes moments.

⭐Total Score for the Bowery Hybrid Mattress: 9.0/10⭐

Bowery Hybrid Performance Highlights

✅ Pros

• Medium firmness that supports most kinds of sleepers.
• Pocketed coils to a great job of isolating motion.
• Because it is a hybrid, airflow is not impeded which results in a cooler night’s sleep. 

❌ Cons

• The Bowery Hybrid is not offered in the variety of firmness levels that other Brooklyn Bedding mattresses are. 
• The Bowery scored an 8 on responsiveness, which definitely isn’t a bad score, but combination sleepers may want to consider higher-scoring mattresses in this field  – we recommend the Casper!

Motion Isolation

The Bowery Hybrid mattress performed very well in the Mattress Advisor motion transfer test — it scored an 8.75. This makes the Bowery Hybrid a great option for couples! Given its affordable price tag, the Bowery Hybrid would make a great mattress for couples just starting out who may be on a strict budget.

Spinal Alignment

Spine alignment is one of our major tests we conduct since it’s so important for your mattress. Why? Because your sleeping posture matters just as much as your waking posture.

Keeping your spine aligned is key to good health and a good night’s sleep. Our sleep subject’s spines were in good alignment while on the Bowery Hybrid. We saw no major dips in their back while on the mattress.

Pressure Relief

You want a mattress that evenly distributes your body weight so that you avoid waking up with pains in the pressure points like your hips and shoulders. We measure pressure relief with a pressure mapper. Check out the images of our test subjects below to see how well the Bowery Hybrid performed in this area. (Hint: Blues and greens are good; reds are bad.)

How Firm is the Bowery Mattress

Unlike other Brooklyn Bedding mattresses, the Bowery Hybrid is only available in one firmness option. Thankfully, it is a 5 on the firmness scale; a universally appealing score that just about all sleepers should find ideal. 

What Sleeping Position Does the Bowery Mattress Support?

Back sleepers and stomach sleepers will love the spinal alignment and medium-firm feel. Side sleepers and combination sleepers won’t have any trouble sleeping on the Bowery Hybrid, but if really strong responsiveness and pressure relief are what you’re after then there may be better options for you – maybe just not at this price point.

Does the Bowery Mattress Sleep Hot?

Nope! Thanks to an innerspring layer and gel memory foam layers the Bowery Hybrid does a great job of circulating out the heat that it absorbs from your body.

How Much Weight Does the Bowery Hybrid Mattress Support?

The queen size Bowery Hybrid can support up to 700 pounds, or 350 pounds on each side of the bed. Just about all body types are supported.

What Foundations or Bed Frames Can be Used with the Bowery Hybrid?

The Bowery Hybrid works on any type of supported base that has minimal to no flex. This includes box springs, platform bases, slats, and even the floor.

What is the Bowery Hybrid Mattress Made of?

The Bowery Hybrid mattress has three core layers and a gel memory foam quilted top:

Unboxing the Bowery Hybrid Mattress 

Have you ever wondered how a huge mattress fits in such a small box? Check out our video below to see the unboxing process for a bed-in-a-box mattress. It took us exactly one minute and twenty seconds to unbox the Bowery Hybrid mattress. This mattress was very light and easy to handle. There was only a slight off-gassing odor, but lots of plastic to cut through. The Bowery Hybrid puffed to its full size almost instantly.

Shopping with BB

Here is what you can expect when shopping with Brooklyn Bedding.

Mattress Delivery

Shipping is free within the contiguous USA, and your mattress should arrive within 3-4 days of the order being placed*. Residents of Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada will have to pay a shipping fee.

Your new mattress will arrive on your doorstep in a shockingly not-too-cumbersome box.

*Due to the effects of COVID-19, your product may take longer than usual to arrive.

The BB Sleep Trial

Your 120-night sleep trial begins as soon as your mattress arrives. Set it up, spend some time with it, see if you love it. If you decide that you don’t love it within that 120 days, simply reach out to Brooklyn Bedding and they will walk you through the return process.

Breaking Down the Brooklyn Bedding Warranty

The Brooklyn Bedding 10-year warranty is standard for the mattress industry. It covers any defects that result from faulty materials or workmanship errors. If you have any issues with your mattress during those 10 years give Brooklyn Bedding a shout and they will let you know if it is covered.

Getting a Hold of Customer Service

There are multiple ways to reach the Brooklyn Bedding team. The live chat feature on brooklynbedding.com is a great option for speaking to them in a more casual manner. Or they can be reached via their online email form or their phone number, 1-888-210-8751. Brooklyn Bedding is open everyday, from 7am-7pm MST on weekdays and 9am-5pm MST on weekends. 

The Brooklyn Bedding Return Policy

If you decide that you want to return your Brooklyn Bedding mattress within the 120-day trial period reach out to the customer service team and they will walk you through the necessary steps to getting a full refund. Since they do not resell used beds, they will even help you find a way to safely dispose of the mattress, or, if available, they will locate a local charity that can take the mattress from you.

You must wait at least 30 days into your trial to initiate a return. Every new mattress takes some time to break in, so the Brooklyn Bedding team wants to make sure that you have given your body sufficient time to adjust to the new sleeping situation before making a final decision. 

Is this the Mattress for You?

 If you are looking for an affordable mattress with a nice universal firmness and fantastic motion isolation, then this is definitely the mattress for you. Solid spinal alignment and cooling abilities ensure that sleepers who have back pain or tend to overheat will likely find that this mattress greatly improves their quality of sleep. 

See How Brooklyn Bedding Compares

Brooklyn Bedding offers several other mattress models, including the Brooklyn Aurora, the Brooklyn Signature mattress, the Bloom Hybrid, and the Spartan. Aside from the all-foam version of the Bowery, all of these are hybrid models that have varying strengths and weaknesses. The Spartan is one of the best mattresses for athletes that we’ve ever tested and the higher-priced Aurora provides exceptional cooling with its energex foam. If you are after a firm mattress as opposed to the medium-firm Bowery’s, the Aurora, Signature, Bloom, and Spartan are all available in plush, medium-firm, and firm options.
