Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe Construction
This hybrid is compressed when it is shipped inside a box. The bed features both foam and coils.
The cover of this 13-inch bed is made of cotton with phase-changing technology blended into it to promote cooling.

- The initial layer consists of a 1.5-inch Energex™ material that contains TitanCool™ gel, which is meant to reduce overheating. This material is designed to be responsive and to offer pressure relief.
- The second layer holds a 2-inch TitanFlex™ material, a latex alternative that is bouncy and responsive.
- The third layer utilizes Swirl Visco Elastic Memory Foam at 1-inch thick that acts as a transition between the comfort and support levels.
- The fourth layer contains Quantum Edge™ Pocketed Coils standing 8 inches in height. The individually pocketed design is intended to compress as-needed to provide optimal support, pressure relief, and motion isolation.
- The final layer is an inch thick base foam that should further absorb the movement from the coils while acting as a foundation for the bed.
- The perimeter is reinforced via Quantum Edge™ Coils that are meant to provide an even feel from edge-to-edge.

Nolah Construction
This is an all-foam product that is compressed and boxed when shipped.
The Tencel™ cover is designed to wick away moisture and regulate temperature. The mattress is 10 inches tall.

- The topmost layer is a 2-inch AirFoam™, the company’s proprietary, gel-infused material meant to offer cooling and pressure relief.
- The second layer holds a 1-inch polyurethane support foam to separate the sleeper from the foundation below.
- The bottom layer is comprised of a high-density polyurethane base that is 7 inches thick. This material acts as a solid foundation for the upper materials and should provide a deep level of support to the shopper.
Comparing Firmness (Support & Feel)
To help you determine whether each bed offers the level of firmness you are looking for, we have ranked the feel of either brand using our comfort scale. The lower the score, the softer the bed will feel, with 1 being the softest score possible. The higher the score, the firmer the mattress, with the scale topping out at 10.
The hybrid mattress has a true medium score of 5. A medium comfort level is generally quite universal and can often be enjoyed by most types of sleepers. The company also offers soft, firm, and plus-sized models, which they have ranked at a 3 and 7.The plush comfort materials ought to provide the optimal pressure relief for side sleepers, while back and stomach sleepers should be well-served by the supportive coils.
The all-foam mattress is ranked at a 4.5-5 out of 10, this should feel medium-soft or medium depending on how people personally experience the bed. Being made strictly of foam, this product was designed with those who sleep on their sides in mind, and is intended to provide enhanced pressure relief.
Most of the Aurora Luxe’s materials will respond quickly, filling in any holes left behind as people change position. Nolah’s materials respond faster than traditional memory foams but are still slower to reclaim their shape than those in the hybrid.
Comparing Sinkage and Bounce
Shoppers are not likely to sink too deeply into either mattress. Instead, a gentle cradle will allow people to float on top of their beds, allowing air to flow freely around them.
The hybrid features moderate levels of bounce, with the coil system promoting buoyancy while the upper materials dampen movement. The all-foam mattress has minimal bounce, but still responds quickly to aid nighttime movements. Combination sleepers concerned with mobility may prefer the Aurora Luxe as its faster responding materials and higher levels of bounce aid most shoppers in repositioning.
Comparing Motion Transfer
The coil system inside the hybrid will likely allow a moderate amount of movement to travel through the bed, which may allow couples to feel their partners’ tossing and turning. The foams above and below these springs are meant to absorb some of this energy and the individually pocketed design is intended to isolate movement by allowing the springs to react independently to movement.
The all-foam bed is expected to reduce motion transfer greatly by absorbing vibrations. Most people should be able to sleep soundly on either mattress. More sensitive and light sleepers requiring enhanced motion control could prefer Nolah in this area.
Comparing Edge Support
Some couples prefer enhanced edge support as it gives them the ability to spread out on their bed without feeling like they may be ejected from it. The reinforced coils around the perimeter of the Aurora Luxe make the hybrid a good option for these shoppers as the springs are designed to reduce compression. There may be a deeper compression noticed when lying on the edge of the Nolah mattress, but you should remain sleeping securely edge to edge.
