Brooklyn Sedona Elite Highlights
✅ Pros
- Edge Support: Edge support is usually a good indicator of quality. The Sedona Elite mattress offers great edge support both when you sit on the edge and when you lie there.
- Pressure Relief: Pressure relief in your mattress can be the difference between waking up refreshed and waking up in pain. The Sedona Elite offers good pressure relief for side and back sleepers and great pressure relief for stomach sleepers.
- Cooling: The Brooklyn Sedona Elite has seven layers and four of them are cooling layers, including the cover, which is cool to the touch.
- Durability: Brooklyn Bedding mattresses are custom made right here in the USA. These well-constructed mattresses are built to last their entire lifespan.
❌ Cons
- Weight: This mattress’s weight makes unboxing and moving the mattress difficult so we recommend getting a partner to help.
- Cost: The Brooklyn Sedona Elite is a luxury hybrid mattress and is priced accordingly. However, it still is cheaper than other hybrid mattress alternatives.
- Length of Warranty: Brooklyn Bedding’s 10-year warranty meets the industry standard, but many competitors offer longer warranty policies.
Responsiveness
A mattress’s responsiveness refers to its ability to bring you comfort instantly in each new position and allows you to change positions seamlessly.
In our responsiveness test, we found the Sedona Elite very easy to move around on. The mattress gives you medium-firm support while its surface has you sleeping “on” rather than “in” the mattress.

Spine Alignment
Spinal alignment is your mattress’s ability to provide you with proper posture as you sleep. Each position has different needs out of alignment. Side sleepers need a straight spine from neck to bottom. Stomach sleepers need a flat back that maintains the spine’s natural curve. Back sleepers need the foam contouring alongside this natural curve.
The Sedona Elite offered average spine alignment for both the side sleepers and stomach sleepers.


Motion Transfer
People who sleep with a partner or pet should look at our motion transfer test to see if they will be disturbed by their sleep partner’s movements. We test this using two different methods: a human test and a wine test.
In our human test, we take turns lying on the bed blindfolded while one of us gets in and out of bed and changes sleep positions. We then rate the movement we felt on a scale of one to 10. In the Sedona Elite human test, we gave it an 8.5.
See our top picks for the best mattresses for couples.

In our wine test, we lay a glass of wine in the place of the blindfolded tester. To see how much motion is transferred, we look to see how much the liquid in the glass moves. You’ll notice the wine sloshes a bit as I enter the bed, but barely moves after that, earning it a 9 out of 10.
What Is the Firmness Level?
The Sedona Elite is a medium-firm mattress, a 6/10 on the firmness scale. This means it should work for many average-weight sleepers by not being too soft or too firm.

What Sleeping Positions Does it Support?
- Side sleepers get decent alignment and pressure point relief, although it’s not one of our best side sleeper mattresses.
- Stomach sleepers get exceptional pressure relief, and it’s firm enough to give good alignment as a top bed for stomach sleepers.
- Back sleepers have the top layer of foam curve to meet their spines, making it a great bed for back sleepers.
- Combination sleepers should enjoy the “sweet spot” medium-firm level and the responsiveness.

Cooling Factors
There are quite a few things that make Brooklyn Sedona Elite so cool, starting with the cover. The mattress cover is a cooling panel that draws away body heat. There are two layers of gel-infused memory foam for even more cooling. Finally, the innerspring layer of individually wrapped coils gives the mattress plenty of airflow and breathability.
Check out our top picks for the best cooling mattresses.

How Much Weight Can It Support?
The Brooklyn Sedona Elite mattress can hold up to 850 lbs for a king-size mattress. This is enough to support most shapes and body types. The mattress’s thickness, coil layer, and durable construction provide support and keep it from sagging prematurely.
Compatible Bases
You do need to use a foundation or bed frame with the Sedona Elite. Brooklyn Bedding recommends you use a no-flex type of foundation. This includes box springs, platform bases, adjustable bases, and slatted foundations. For specifics on how to use these bases, especially slats, consult your warranty.

A Deep Dive Inside
Let’s open up the Brooklyn Sedona Elite and see how each layer works to deliver supportive, cooling comfort.

- Cooling Cover: Made with advanced fabric, this mattress cover is cool to the touch.
- Comfort Foam: This top layer provides comfort along with responsiveness, making it easy to toss and turn at night.
- Gel Foam: High-density gel memory foam adds a cooling element to the mattress.
- Second Layer of Gel: Another layer of gel memory foam seeks to add cooling, support, and recovery.
- Transition Foam: A transition layer makes it so that there is no disruption between the foam layers and coil system.
- Coil Layer: Up to 1,032 pocketed coils provide support and motion isolation.
- Base Foam: A high-density foam layer that gives the mattress added durability.

The Set-up Experience
Like all other Brooklyn Bedding mattresses, the Sedona Elite arrives in a box on your doorstep. It took us 1 minute and 54 seconds to unbox and set up the mattress. Due to its seven-layer construction, the Sedona Elite is very heavy. We recommend you ask someone to help you unbox your new mattress.

Is Sedona Elite the Best Mattress for You?
We’ve covered a lot in this review; it’s time to summarize, so you can decide if it’s the bed of your dreams.
The Brooklyn Sedona Elite is a luxury hybrid mattress with great cooling and durability features. It has a medium-firm feel and is cool to the touch. This mattress excelled in most of our lab tests, but especially motion transfer, responsiveness, and pressure relief.
You get a 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty with purchase, plus you have the ability to adjust the firmness and exchange your mattress entirely free.
