Hannah is a graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill pursuing her master’s in Occupational Therapy. Post-undergrad Hannah needed a mattress upgrade for her new apartment. She said so long to the days of twin beds and found herself sleeping on a Brooklyn Bowery queen.
Hannah is strictly a side sleeper, though she is not partial to one or the other. Either side will do! She doesn’t have any special sleeping conditions, except for the fact her feet are always getting hot. In this season of life, Hannah is sleeping alone most nights.
Before owning the Brooklyn Bowery, Hannah was sleeping on an old twin mattress that had been passed down in her family for years.
H: I was moving into a new apartment for graduate school and wanted to invest in a larger bed and higher quality mattress.
H: I considered the size because I am single and would have to transport it by myself. I need something easy to maneuver alone! I also considered price, since I am a graduate student. Lastly, I looked into firmness because I sleep on my side. I wanted a mattress that would cradle my body, especially neck and shoulders.
H: Purple popped up on my social media a lot so I looked into that one. I also looked at the Tuft & Needle because my brother bought it.
H: Price. The Brooklyn Bowery was a nice budget-friendly option. I’d say it was a mid-range price point.
H: Buying the Brooklyn Bowery mattress was incredibly easy. It just took a few clicks online and the mattress arrived within a week to our door.
Mattress was delivered on 6/18/2018; First interview was conducted on 6/19/2018
H: Great. The mattress was soft but supportive. I had a solid night’s sleep.
H: I didn’t notice any significant difference to how I feel when I get a good night’s sleep.
H: Much, much better. The soft layer at the top of the Brooklyn Bowery really helps when it comes to comfort. Because I only sleep on my sides, often I wake up with a sore shoulder. The soft foam top layer of the BB prevented that from happening.
On a scale from 1-5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best.
| Motion transfer (feeling little to no movement from your sleeping partner): | 4 |
| Support (body weight distributed evenly, no pains or aches): | 4 |
| Responsiveness (adjusts/responds to your body movements): | 4.5 |
| Temperature control (keeps you cool): | 3 |
H: I would say this mattress is pretty firm. There is definitely a soft foam layer at the top, but when you sit upright in bed, you can feel the transition into the firmer base layers. I really liked that aspect. It provides great foundational support without being uncomfortable at the surface.
H: My only complaint is that the BB advertises infused cooling gel that helps air flow and cooling. Personally, I didn’t experience that. I’m usually not a hot sleeper but I felt hot when I slept on it for the first time.
H: Yes.
H: It doesn’t have great edge support. When you sit on the edge of the mattress you slide off.
H: Yes.
Mattress was delivered on 6/18/2018; Second interview was conducted on 6/26/2018
H: Good! I am transitioning better to this new mattress than I have to others.
H: Rested. The mattress offers good support, although it is still on the firm side. I wouldn’t mind an extra layer of softer foam on the top. Just a personal preference.
On a scale from 1-5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best.

| Support (body weight distributed evenly, no pains or aches): | 5 |
| Responsiveness (adjusts/responds to your body movements): | 4 |

H: As I mentioned above, the firmness definitely provides support but I wouldn’t mind a little more cushion. I sleep on my side and I think having a mattress with more cushion might help with the cricks I sometimes get in my shoulder/neck.
H: Edge support. I would probably give edge support a 5/10. It doesn’t allow you to sit comfortably on the side of your bed without sliding off.
H: I still think it’s worth the money!
H: Definitely.
Mattress was delivered on 6/18/2018; Third interview was conducted on 7/20/2018
H: Wonderful! Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
H: Rested. Once I fall asleep, I definitely sleep through the night. The mattress is very supportive and comforting. Makes me excited to go to sleep each night.

H: Yes, it’s on the firm side but I prefer that over a soft mattress where you sink in. Since I’m a side sleeper, I’ve been looking into different pillows to help with shoulder cramps. I’ve realized that stiffness in the shoulder isn’t always the mattresses fault. I was using a low-quality pillow which I think contributed to most of the soreness.
H: I still feel a bit hot when sleeping, which I’ve heard can be expected with foam mattresses. The BB tries to account for that issue with their infused cooling gel in the top foam layer- but I think they still need to look into further improvements with that.
H: Yes.
H: For sure! Wouldn’t change it for the world 🙂
