Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress review 2025: A comfortable-for-most mattress with specialist cooling
The Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress is one of the newest (and reasonably priced) models within the 3Z brand sleep suite. As a brand, Brooklyn Bedding mattresses are renowned for performing well in our in-house mattress testing, gaining spots in several of our key guides to the best mattresses of 2025. So, I had high expectations ahead of my the CopperFlex Pro — and it hasn't let me down. You'll find my full review further down the page, but read below for my review in brief...

Sharing the same cooling GlacioTex cover as the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe (which ranks highly in our guide to the best cooling mattresses of the year), the CopperFlex Pro is a well-crafted luxury hybrid mattress that costs just under $1,000 for a queen thanks to a 25% off evergreen mattress sale.I'm a combination sleeper, which means that I shift positions from my stomach, back and side throughout the night. That can make it difficult to find a mattress that delivers support for each sleep position. Despite this, I have slept soundly on the mattress over a month. I've been impressed by how cool and comfortable it has kept me night after night, even in the face of an unseasonable British springtime heatwave. In my opinion, the CopperFlex Pro rivals the temperature regulating prowess of some of our favorite cooling beds, such as the Bear Elite Hybrid and Cocoon by Sealy Chill mattress. Brooklyn Bedding peg the CopperFlex Pro as 7/10 for firmness, and I'd agree with that rating. The plush pillow top cover provides ample pressure relief when lying on my side, gently cradling my shoulders, hips and knees. However, the 760 encased coils bolster the mattress' overall support, giving it a responsive sleep feel that you lie on top of rather than sink into it. That makes it suitable for back sleepers, too.Let's dig into why I think this mattress is a great option for side and combination sleepers looking for a cooling sleep solution to see them through the summer months and beyond...
Like the best mattresses for under $1,000, the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress costs $999 for a queen after a 25% off evergreen discount. It comes in six standard sizes from twin to Cal king. Here's the MSRP and usual sale price of each size after the regular 25% discount:
Evergreen Brooklyn Bedding mattress sales consistently cut around 25% off all mattresses on their website. And this discount tends to peak at 30% during major sales like the upcoming Memorial Day mattress sales.
Of course, this extra 5% saving is nice, but no matter when you shop the CopperFlex, you can rest assured you're getting outstanding quality for a great value price. After the current 25% discount is applied, a queen size chimes in just under $1,000 at $999 (was $1,332).
With a limited lifetime warranty, 120-night sleep trial and free shipping included, Brooklyn Bedding's perks are also decent.
Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress: twin was $932 now $699 at Brooklyn Bedding This mattress is yet to sell at MSRP since its release in November 2024. After a 25% discount a queen size CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is $999 (MSRP $1,332). Want to buy at the best possible price? Waiting for Memorial Day could score you 30% off.
Brooklyn Bedding market the CopperFlex Pro as an 'affordable luxury' mattress and I think they've hit the nail on the head with this description. With its honey combe memory foam pillow top and bronze stitching, it feels like a premium mattress straight out of the box.
Beneath the quilted GlacioTex cover, there's 760 encased coils and copper-infused foam (which draws heat from the body), all geared towards temperature regulation, pressure relief and lumbar support. Meanwhile, transition foam takes care of motion isolation and high-density foam provides durability.
At 14" tall, the height of the mattress aesthetically lends itself to a five-star hotel luxury while providing sturdy support. But it makes dressing the bed a difficult task. Even a deep pocket sheet struggled to stretch over the tall mattress.
Additionally, it is a bit of a clamber to get into bed. Young and fit, this didn't bother me and I like the lofty feel. But, for this reason, it may not be the best option for sleepers with mobility issues (unless you're able to lower your bed frame closer to the ground.)
Considering the weight of this bed, handles attached to the cover would make for easier manoeuvring when it is time to rotate your mattress.
Brooklyn Bedding rate the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid a 7/10 medium-firm mattress, and I'm inclined to agree with this rating. It provides cushioning and support in equal measure to relieve pressure in joints while supporting the spine through the night.
I'm a combination sleeper who switches between side, back and stomach sleeping. But I spend most of my sleep time on my side. Therefore, the pressure relief offered by the plush pillow top on this mattress was perfect for my sleep style.
The pillow top surface with honeycomb stitching and ribbing contours to your body as you lay on it. Meanwhile the coil layer is arranged in three zones to enhance lumbar support, which is a premium feature more commonly found in the best mattresses for back pain. You can feel the mattress accommodating your movements as you switch between positions.
Although I felt myself sinking into the mattress surface slightly I never felt like I had to fight out of the foam to switch position. Instead it is responsive while offering a gentle hugging feel.
I slept on this mattress during marathon training, which meant I was often inflicted with the odd muscle ache and pain, making a supportive mattress all the more important. I credit the CopperFlex for helping me rest and recover well during this intense training block.
Ultimately, the pillow top surface makes the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid an ideal mattress for side sleepers and light weight combination sleepers. Light weight side sleepers would likely enjoy the extra cushioning offered by the memory foam CopperFlex Pro. But heavier side sleepers and strict stomach sleepers would benefit from a firmer bed found in our best firm mattress guide.
Score: 4 out of 5
Like the best mattresses in a box, the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid comes compressed, rolled and vacuum packed in a cardboard box, which faired the journey to us well. As with any mattress, we recommend having two sets on hands on deck for unboxing.
Our unboxers reported minimal off-gassing with this mattress. Literally, they had to get up close to the mattress to smell the unavoidable chemical smell of the packaging, and this dissipated in minutes.
The brand recommends leaving the mattress to inflate for 24 hours before snoozing on it. Although it looked ready to sleep on within minutes, I heeded their advice so I didn't damage the mattress materials.
Do note that due to the height and heaviness of this mattress, it is difficult to manoeuvre once fully expanded, especially since it doesn't have handles attached to the cover. So you'll want to be sure you unbox it in the bedroom you intend for it to stay (I say this after unboxing it in our sleep studio and then having to lug it up two flights of stairs, which turned into a four-man mission).
Score: 4.5 out of 5
We slept on a full size Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress for one month, here's how it performed in our thorough mattress testing procedures...
The Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex passed both our objective and subjective motion isolation tests.
Our subjective testing in this area involves balancing a wine glass on one side of the mattress while we drop a 10lb weight from set heights and distances on the other side to replicate the force of another body. The wobble of the wine glass indicates how much movement travels across the bed.
On the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid, the wine glass didn't budge until the weight was dropped from 12", at which point we expect a wobble due to the responsiveness of springs in a hybrid mattress.
We've used this method on the best hybrid mattresses you can buy online right now, and got a similar result to the CopperFlex, indicating little motion transfer.
The CopperFlex Pro Hybrid even performed well through toddler-sitting duties. I shared the bed with my 3-year-old nephew when he came to stay and, although I woke a few times as he wriggled next to me, I still managed to get a good night's sleep overall.
Score: 4 out of 5
The Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid packs a lot of cooling technology. The combination of airy coils, copper-infused foams and GlacioTex cover delivers a cool sleep experience night after night.
The first thing I noticed about this mattress was how it feels cool to touch, likely thanks to the high thermal conductivity fibers in the GlacioTex cover and copper foams, which zap heat away from the mattress surface.
I sleep in an attic bedroom which is prone to trapping heat when the temperature rises. But while I've been snoozing on the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress — through a British heatwave, might I add — I haven't found myself running hot at night as I used to on a standard spring mattress.
While exercising before bed is not recommended when it comes to reaching an optimal sleep temperature, there was the odd occasion where an evening run was non-negotiable for me during this testing period. Even on the nights I did forgo expert's advice, I managed to cool down and drift off on the CopperFlex without kicking the sheets off in a fluster.
While the temperature regulation offered by this mattress was more than enough for our testing panel, particularly hot sleepers who struggle with night sweats would benefit from an active digital cooling system offered by a top-rated smart bed like an Eight Sleep Pod.
Score: 4.5 out of 5
We test edge support to make sure we don't fall when getting out of bed, reaching to our bedside table or rolling over during the night. For our objective tests, we place a 25kg weight on, and sit on, all corners and edges and in the centre of the mattress.
With the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress, we observed a 3.5" sink in all areas. Although that sounds (and looks in the images) like quite a bit of sink, you must expect this with a pillow top mattress. Plus it bounced back immediately once the weight was lifted.
When using the mattress night to night, I didn't note any edge support-related problems. As a combination sleeper I need a mattress with reinforced edges to make sure I don't end up on the floor while switching between positions during the night. Happily, I have been able to confidently sleep right up to the bed's edge on the Copperflex ProBut the real test of the edge support is when I lean over to my bedside table to retrieve a piping hot mug from my bedside table (a herbal tea is part of my nighttime routine.) Unlike with my old spring mattress which would often dip beneath me if I got too close to the edge, there have been no spillages on the CopperFlex (though the GlacioTex cover would handily protect the mattress against spills and stains.)
Score: 4 out of 5
At just six months old, the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress has 532 reviews with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5. Reviews praise its firmer support and cooling prowess, but some negative reviews note that it's heavy to handle.
Elsewhere, the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid is Rolling Stone recommended, has been nominated for the 2025 Oprah Daily Sleep O-wards and is CNN underscored.
CNET describe the mattress as "comfortable, versatile and supportive" at "a very budget-friendly price". Meanwhile video reviewers at Brooklyn Bedding say the CopperFlex mattresses offer brilliant quality and are easy to install in your home.
Hot sleepers looking for a bed with reliable cooling relief, ample comfort and sturdy support without breaking the bank are in safe hands with this Brooklyn Bedding mattress.
While I best recommend this mattress to side sleepers who like a cushioned sleep surface, it is versatile. The medium-firm feel supports all the positions of an average weight combination sleeper, while its zoned lumbar support helps keep the spine in healthy alignment.
Without too much sinkage, myself and the rest of our testing were comfortable switching between positions on the CopperFlex Pro Hybrid. While our stomach-sleeping tester approved of the CopperFlex, if they had to pick a favorite, the Plank Firm mattress by Brooklyn Bedding, with a firmer, more responsive sleep surface, takes their vote.
In short, this is a comfortable-for-most mattress with specialist cooling technology at a very reasonable price. Its build quality and luxury materials punch way above its mid-range price point. It regulates temperature exceptionally and performed well across the board in our mattress tests.
Also from Brooklyn Bedding, the Aurora Luxe Hybrid mattress is a top cooling mattress and one of our best mattresses for back pain that can help you combat an unfortunate concoction of sleep issues — hot flushes and back pain. It comes in three firmness levels and 10 sizes including an RV King. With a queen size now $1,398.75 (was $1,865), it is more expensive than the CopperFlex, suitable for those looking for even more luxury. Learn more in our Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe mattress review.
The Cocoon by Sealy Chill is an all-foam, competitively priced mattress complete with a breathable knit cover made with phase change materials. This means it's cool to touch and helps wick away sweat. During testing for our Cocoon by Sealy Chill Mattress review, our reviewers slept comfortably cool, which is surprising on a memory foam bed. It is even cheaper than the CopperFlex at $699 for a queen after an evergreen 35% Cocoon by Sealy mattress deal. Plus you get a sleep bundle included.
We recommend the Purple Mattress to couples looking for strong motion isolation and temperature regulation. Its open-cell GelFlex grid is breathable as well as pressure relieving. Price-wise, it falls in the upper-mid bracket with a queen at $1,499 MSRP. But Purple mattress sales and deals occasionally knock $200 or more off. Act fast and you can grab this discount now.

Britain's debt is a threat to national security
Our sky high debt is a threat to our national security. This year, the cost of servicing our debt will be almost double what we are spending on defence. And in today's turbulent world, the fiscal buffer to cushion us from shocks is paper thin. The smallest tap could shatter our economic credibility. The Prime Minister has made defence and security the organising principle of his government. Given that, putting our debt on a downward path should be his government's priority. It isn't. Debt will be higher at the end of the Parliament than today. And with global government debt already around $100 trillion, and Donald Trump about to increase that by a further $2.4 trillion, who will buy our debt – and at what price? Last year, the cross-party House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee raised a red flag that UK debt risks becoming unsustainable unless tough decisions are taken in this Parliament. We set out a choice: taxes would have to rise, or the state would have to do less. Being cross-party, we did not opine on which option was best. The Government has taken tough decisions – but in my mind the wrong ones. Taxes are rising to record highs. The Chancellor said last year that her strategy would deliver growth, and that she would not come back for more tax. But the growth forecast has been halved, and further tax hikes are on the cards. Meanwhile, pressure to spend more on defence is going to increase. At the upcoming Nato summit, nations are likely to be asked to commit to spending 5 per cent of GDP on defence – double Labour's current commitment. So what is to be done? We need to confront the other option: the state should do less. The Government rightly says that the relentless rise in welfare spending is 'unsustainable'. Spending on disability and incapacity benefits alone is more than on defence. But having announced that action would be taken to curb the growth in the welfare budget, the Prime Minister is now blinking in the face of opposition. The Government – and the nation – cannot afford ministers losing their nerve to keep a lid on spending. The bond vigilantes have saddled up and are on the prowl. Nor can the Chancellor tax her way out of the debt quagmire: to do so would risk us entering into a doom loop of ever lower growth and ever higher debt. If defence and security is the organising principle of government, the Chancellor must set out a credible plan to stop debt's relentless rise and bring it down from today's giddying heights. Not doing so risks economic catastrophe – and our national security.

Pensions report cuts Reeves' planned growth funds from £160bn to £11bn
Plans to invest £160bn of surplus funds from final salary pension schemes to boost the UK economy over the next 10 years have been dealt a blow by a Whitehall assessment that found there was likely to be little more than £11bn available to spend. In a knock to Rachel Reeves's growth agenda, a report by civil servants at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) found that the expected surpluses in occupational schemes would be used by businesses to offload their pension liabilities to insurance companies. It could mean that as little as £8.4bn would be available for companies to invest in new equipment or technology, but the figure was likely to be nearer £11bn, the DWP said on Friday. 'It is estimated that an additional £11.2bn surplus will be extracted as a result of the preferred option to legislate over a 10-year period,' the report said. Pension surpluses were a significant pillar of the chancellor's plans to use private sector funds to grow the economy during a period when state funds are likely to be severely restricted. Reeves is expected to lay out her growth plans on Wednesday in the spending review, which will set out the government priorities for the next year. Earlier this year she said about 75% of final salary schemes, also known as defined benefit schemes, were in surplus, worth £160bn, but restrictions have meant businesses have struggled to invest them. In her Mansion House speech in November, Reeves also outlined proposals for pension megafunds to be created from individual defined contribution schemes and a merger of local authority pension schemes to make the pensions industry more cost-effective. A pensions bill going through parliament will allow pension fund trustees to unlock trapped surplus funds that Reeves said would increase investment in British businesses and lift economic growth. Hundreds of final salary schemes, which spent decades in deficit, meaning the value of their obligations to members outweighed their assets, have moved into surplus in recent years after an increase in interest rates. 'Although fewer than 700,000 people are actively saving into a private sector defined benefit scheme, the sector remains a significant market within the UK economic landscape,' the report said. 'Across around 5,000 schemes, around nine million members are being supported with assets of around £1.2tn.' An impact assessment by DWP officials said legislation was needed to overhaul the pension system and give trustees the power to access surplus funds. It said a failure to act would also mean 'an opportunity to benefit members, businesses and to drive economic growth would be missed. Therefore 'do nothing' is not considered a desirable option.' However, a combination of factors means the expected surplus for investment is reduced to no more than £12bn over 10 years, in part because the legislation does not force trustees of defined benefit funds to use surpluses for investment, and that most occupational final salary schemes have reached a level where a buyout is possible. In a note for the Pension Insurance Corporation, an independent expert, John Ralfe, said: 'Forget about £160bn of pension surpluses just waiting, as Rachel Reeves said, to be paid out to 'drive growth and boost working people's pension pots'. 'The DWP figures estimate just a fraction of this – under £12bn – will be paid out over the next 10 years, mainly because most companies want a full buyout with an insurance company. Related: UK service sector confidence higher in May than since before autumn budget 'And the bill contains no details of how pensions will be protected if cash is withdrawn. Member security must be a priority with strict rules on repaying amounts if funding deteriorates,' he added. Many pension fund trustees are known to be concerned that allowing company boards access to surplus funds could leave their schemes vulnerable after a panic in financial markets. Without strong safeguards, giving businesses access to surplus pension funds could also make them more attractive targets for foreign takeovers. It is understood the new regime will allow trustees to block moves to access surplus funds if they believe it will undermine the safety of the fund. The pensions minister Torsten Bell said: 'I have read the impact assessment, and I am satisfied that, given the available evidence, it represents a reasonable view of the likely costs, benefits and impact of the leading options.' The Treasury and the DWP were contacted for comment.

China confirms upcoming trade talks with the US
The Chinese government on Saturday confirmed Monday's meeting in the United Kingdom of its senior representatives with their US counterparts. Vice Premier He Lifeng will visit the UK from June 8 to 13 at the invitation of the British government, a spokesman for the Foreign Ministry announced. During his stay, he will hold the first meeting regarding the economic and trade mechanism between China and the United States, the ministry said. It did not provide any additional details about the Chinese delegation. Trump announces talks US President Donald Trump announced on his online platform Truth Social on Friday that senior representatives from the US and China would meet in London for further trade talks. The US delegation will be led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Trump said. According to Trump, the talks will focus on the details of a trade agreement concluded in May between the two largest economies. In the tariff dispute, Trump had temporarily raised punitive tariffs on imports from China to the US to as much as 145%, prompting Beijing to respond with retaliatory tariffs. Disputes beyond tariffs Other contentious issues between the two countries include US restrictions on the sale of key technology products, such as chip design software, to China. Washington, in turn, is not happy with China's export controls on rare earths. The Commerce Ministry in Beijing once again justified the controls, stating that raw materials are goods for both civilian and military purposes, according to an evening statement. In line with the law, China has issued a certain number of export licences and is ready to strengthen exchanges with the relevant countries regarding rare earths.
