The Brooklyn Bedding ThermoBalance Elite is Brooklyn Bedding's flagship luxury cooling hybrid - a 15.5" tall, nine-layer mattress built for sleepers who want best-in-class temperature regulation without giving up deep pressure relief or serious support. Its triple cooling system, copper-infused memory foams, and dedicated zoned lumbar support layer put it in a different tier than anything else in the Brooklyn Bedding lineup.

It's an excellent match for hot sleepers, side sleepers craving deep contouring, and back sleepers dealing with lumbar discomfort. On the flip side, if you prefer a light, bouncy feel and move positions frequently at night, you'll want to spend extra time testing this one in our Seattle showroom - the thick comfort layer is designed to cradle, not launch you.

Firmness, Construction, and Performance

At The Drift, we take mattresses (and your sleep) seriously. That starts with what your bed is made of and how that translates to its feel and durability. Let's dive in.

Brooklyn Bedding ThermoBalance Elite Side View at The Drift in Seattle.

Feel & Firmness

  • Firmness Level: Available in Soft (around 4/10), Medium-Firm (around 6/10), and Firm (around 8/10). The Medium-Firm is the most widely tested and recommended for the broadest range of sleepers.
  • Feel Description: You'll immediately notice the cool-to-the-touch cover — it reads noticeably cooler than most mattresses even at first contact. Lie down and the 6" comfort layer begins to contour slowly and deeply, with a distinct "cradling" feel rather than the quick rebound of a more responsive hybrid. The Ascension Max coil core underneath provides structure and keeps you from sinking through, but this is not a "floating on top of the mattress" feel.
  • Our Take: This mattress is unapologetically designed for deep comfort and cooling — and it delivers on both in a way that earns it a place in the top tier of hybrids we've tested. Just know going in that the trade-off for that deep, hugging feel is less bounce and slower repositioning. If you've ever loved the feel of a plush memory foam bed but hated sleeping hot, the ThermoBalance Elite is worth serious consideration.

Construction & Materials

Height: 15.5".
Design: Nine-layer luxury cooling hybrid with triple thermal management and dedicated zoned lumbar support.

Layer Breakdown:

  1. ThermoCool Cover: Cool-tech fibers woven directly into the fabric create a persistently cool-to-the-touch surface — not just in the first few minutes, but throughout the night.
  2. ThermoPhase PCM Foam: Phase Change Material infused into the quilt layer absorbs body heat when you're warm and releases it back when you cool down — active temperature regulation rather than passive cooling.
  3. Copper-Infused Memory Foam: High-density memory foam with copper particles for antimicrobial benefits and additional heat dissipation, plus deep contouring pressure relief.
  4. VX Responsive Foam: A layer of responsive transition foam that offers balanced support and helps prevent the feeling of being completely "stuck" in the mattress.
  5. Zoned Lumbar Support Layer (0.75"): A firmer targeted layer positioned under the lumbar region — the key structural upgrade that sets the Elite apart from the standard ThermoBalance. Promotes proper spinal alignment and reduces lower back pressure.
  6. 8" Ascension Max Coil System: Brooklyn Bedding's upgraded individually wrapped coil tier — larger gauge than standard Ascension coils, with reinforced perimeter coils running the full edge for outstanding edge support and enhanced airflow throughout the core.
  7. 360° Breathable Mesh Gusset: Side panel ventilation that supports continuous airflow through the coil system from all directions.
  8. High-Density Base Foam: Stabilizes the entire structure and adds long-term durability.

Why It Matters: The triple cooling system - cover, PCM foam, and mesh gusset - works together as a coordinated thermal management system rather than a single feature. The zoned lumbar layer and Ascension Max coils are meaningful structural upgrades over the standard ThermoBalance, not cosmetic differences. Brooklyn Bedding assembles this in-house in Arizona, so material quality and layer consistency are tightly controlled. GREENGUARD Gold Certified and built with CertiPUR-US® certified foams.

Sleep Position Ratings

Exceptional. The deep comfort layer contours fully around the shoulders and hips, eliminating pressure points in a way that shallower mattresses can't match. One of the best options we carry for dedicated side sleepers.

The lumbar support layer is a genuine advantage here — it provides targeted lift in the lower back, which can make a meaningful difference for anyone dealing with morning stiffness or chronic lumbar discomfort.

Good, with the right firmness. The Firm version is the best option for stomach sleepers, as the thicker comfort layer can allow more hip sink on the Soft or Medium-Firm. Test in-store if stomach sleeping is your primary position.

Moderate. The ease of movement score is the lowest of any category for this mattress, and that's worth experiencing in person before deciding. If you move a lot through the night, compare directly with more responsive models on our floor.

Final Verdict

The Brooklyn Bedding ThermoBalance Elite is a top-tier luxury cooling hybrid that earns its price through genuine engineering rather than marketing claims. The triple cooling system delivers real, sustained temperature regulation. The zoned lumbar support is a structural asset for back sleepers. The pressure relief is exceptional. If cooling and deep comfort are your top two priorities, this is one of the best options we carry.

Best For

  • Hot sleepers who need serious, sustained cooling.
  • Side sleepers wanting deep, enveloping pressure relief.
  • Back sleepers with lumbar sensitivity or chronic lower back discomfort.
  • Couples who want strong motion isolation without giving up a hybrid's support structure.

Not Ideal For

  • Combination sleepers who move frequently - the slow response and deep sinkage make repositioning more work.
  • Sleepers who prefer a bouncy, "on top of the mattress" feel.
  • Those seeking the most affordable option - this is a premium investment.
  • Stomach sleepers at heavier body weights, who may find even the Firm version allows more hip sink than ideal.
