Titan Mattress Review

What we think: Titan is one of the few mattresses on the market made specifically for plus-size sleepers. It excelled during our in-house testing, earning top marks for spine alignment, responsiveness, durability, and motion transfer. This mattress incorporates customizable cooling technology and a flexible return policy, keeping customers happy!   

Who Is the Titan Mattress Best for?

Titan Mattress Highlights

What makes it stand out:

• The Titan mattress is designed with the needs of heavier sleepers in mind. Its materials are durable, comfort layers resist body impressions, and heavy duty coils come together for optimal comfort and impressive longevity. In fact, it’s one of the best mattresses for heavy people that we’ve come across! 
• Brooklyn Bedding offers an optional cooling panel for hot sleepers. As plus-size people often find themselves sleeping hot, this added cooling potential supports a deep, rejuvenating night’s sleep. 
• The Titan is one of the most durable mattresses you can find. Titan made sure of this by testing their durability to double the industry standard—and it passed with flying colors!
• Brooklyn Bedding owns the manufacturing process from start to finish. They make the mattresses right here in the USA and sell them directly to customers. This in-house process means higher quality and better prices when compared to the average bed.

⭐Total Score for the Titan Mattress: 9.2/10⭐

Best/Worst Highlights

✅ Pros

• Spine alignment: Our sleep testers experienced nearly perfect spinal alignment when lying on the Titan. This is great news for people with neck or back pain. 
• Responsiveness: If you toss and turn, you need a mattress that facilitates movement. The Titan earned a 9.5/10 for responsiveness, meaning you won’t feel stuck. 
• Motion isolation: Couples who sleep together need a bed that dampens motion for uninterrupted sleep. The Titan performed exceptionally well in our motion transfer tests, so you and your partner can sleep peacefully.  
• Durability: Thanks to high-density foam and strong pocketed coils, the Titan is likely to outlast your average mattress. 
• Cooling: Even without the optional cooling top panel, the Titan sleeps pretty cool. By adding the panel, even the hottest sleepers can find relief. 

❌ Cons

• Pressure relief: Our sleep testers experienced pressure at their hips and shoulders when lying on their sides. This could cause pain at pressure points if you’re a side sleeper. 
• Off-gassing: Be aware that the Titan may have a slight odor when you first unbox it. Known as off-gassing, this scent is normal and will fade within a few hours. 
• Extra Cost: You must pay extra for the optional cooling top panel, which is a good idea if you tend to sleep hot. 

Spine Alignment

Bigger bodies need a mattress that’s sturdy enough to keep the body from sagging, knocking the spine out of alignment. Yet, there also needs to be sufficient cushion that contours to the spine’s natural curves. 

We tested how well the Titan kept our sleep testers’ backs aligned, and the results were impressive. Our testers experienced nearly-perfect spine alignment, making the Titan an excellent mattress for people who have neck or back pain.

Pressure Relief

Our sleep testers laid on the Titan with a pressure-mapping film underneath them. We were looking for areas of high pressure, which tell us that areas like the hips and shoulders may become sore over time. 

When lying on their sides, our testers experienced some high pressure zones at their hips and shoulders. However, there weren’t these troublesome zones when lying on their backs. What this test tells us is that the Titan may be best for primarily stomach and back sleepers who only need moderate pressure relief for optimal comfort. 

Cooling Technology

Heavy sleepers are often hot sleepers. Not only does the Titan have a one-inch layer of gel memory foam designed to keep its sleepers cool, but Brooklyn Bedding also gives customers the option to purchase an additional cooling panel. This panel uses phase change material to moderate body temperature as you sleep, keeping hot sleepers cool on contact.

How Firm is the Mattress?

The Titan is a firm mattress, registering at an 8 on the 1-10 firmness scale. The more that you weigh, the softer a mattress feels. This is because the body more easily compresses foam and innerspring layers. This is why most plus-size sleepers do best on a firm bed.

What Sleeping Position Works Best?

The Titan’s firm support is best for back and stomach sleepers. Side sleepers may find too much weight on their hips or shoulders. However, if you only spend part of your night on your side, the Titan may still be a good fit. Its responsive feel is ideal for combination sleepers because it’s easy to switch from one position to the next and get comfy quickly.

Does It Cool for Hot Sleepers?

We love the Titan mattress for hot sleepers. The top layer of gel-infused memory foam is designed to absorb excess body heat and disperse it away from the mattress surface. And with the optional cooling panel with phase change material, even the hottest sleepers can find relief.

How Much Weight Can It Support?

The Titan mattress can support up to 550 pounds per side of the bed, making it perfect for heavier people. Some lightweight people may also enjoy the Titan, but they would have to be fans of an extra-firm feel: beds tend to feel firmer to lighter people.

Suitable Foundations and Bed Frames

The Titan mattress can be used on most foundations that provide minimal to no flex. This includes box springs, platform beds, adjustable frames, or slatted bed frames. If you need a new foundation, Brooklyn Bedding designs foundations to be compatible with their mattresses.

Mattress Materials and Feel

The Titan hybrid mattress incorporates four intentionally engineered layers to create a highly resilient, sag-resistant mattress for plus-size sleepers. Multiple foam layers cushion the body while resilient innerspring coils deliver targeted support.

What’s Unboxing Like?

Brooklyn Bedding is a bed-in-a-box mattress company, so expect your new mattress to arrive on your doorstep compressed in a box. To set up the mattress, take this box to its final location, and then remove the bed from its packaging on its foundation. 

It should only take a couple of minutes to set up, especially if you have a pair of helping hands. We did notice a slight off-gassing odor, but it wasn’t overwhelming and faded within a few hours. While most people will be able to sleep on the mattress the same day that it arrives, it may take a couple of days to fully expand.
