The Brooklyn Bedding Spartan is a recovery-focused performance hybrid built around a concept similar to Bear's Celliant lineup -- using Far Infrared Ray (FIR) technology woven directly into the cover to promote circulation and muscle recovery while you sleep. At 13.5" tall with three comfort foam layers, a CopperFlex™ PCM cooling system, and an 8" zoned Ascension® coil core, it delivers a well-rounded performance profile.

Three firmness options make it a flexible recommendation across sleep styles. It's a strong fit for active sleepers who prioritize recovery, hot sleepers who want layered cooling, and side sleepers who want meaningful pressure relief with a responsive, coil-supported feel.

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.

Feel & Firmness

  • Firmness Level: Available in three options -- Soft (around 4/10), Medium (around 5.5 to 6/10), and Firm (around 7/10). The Medium is the most versatile starting point for most sleepers, though the Soft is worth testing for dedicated side sleepers and lighter body weights. All three are available in our showroom.
  • Feel Description: The three foam comfort layers give the Spartan a noticeably cushioned, contouring surface compared to a standard coil hybrid. The CopperFlex foam and gel memory foam layers provide immediate pressure response, while the Supreme Response foam adds a plush quality that softens the transition into the coil core. The overall feel is responsive and pressure-relieving without the slow, enveloping sink of a thick memory foam mattress.
  • Our Take: The Spartan's ratings profile reflects a well-built performance hybrid that earns strong marks across the categories that matter most to active sleepers. Pressure relief, cooling, and ease of movement all land at 8.0 -- a consistent result that speaks to the quality of the foam system and coil construction working together. Support at 7.0 is solid but not the standout category here. For sleepers who care about recovery technology, layered cooling, and a responsive feel across multiple firmness options, the Spartan is one of the more complete packages in the Brooklyn Bedding lineup.

Construction & Materials

Height: 13.5"

Design: Recovery-focused performance hybrid with Far Infrared Ray technology cover and triple-layer foam comfort system. Available in Soft, Medium, and Firm. Handcrafted in the USA. CertiPUR-US® certified.

Layer Breakdown:

  1. Nanobionic RE-3 FIR Performance Cover: Far Infrared Ray technology woven into the cover fabric promotes circulation and supports overnight muscle recovery by converting body heat into infrared energy. Brooklyn Bedding's equivalent of Bear's Celliant technology, designed specifically for active and recovery-focused sleepers.
  2. CopperFlexâ„¢ Foam with Phase Change Material (1.5"): The first comfort layer combines copper-infused foam with integrated PCM for dual-action cooling. Copper draws heat away from the body while the PCM absorbs and releases heat throughout the night for active, sustained temperature regulation. Copper also provides antimicrobial properties.
  3. Supreme Response Comfort Foam (2"): A plush, responsive comfort layer that provides the majority of the Spartan's pressure relief and contouring. Thicker than the foam layers in most standard hybrids, which contributes to the 8.0 pressure relief score.
  4. Gel Swirl Memory Foam (1"): A thinner memory foam layer that adds targeted body contouring and a second stage of cooling through gel infusion. Positioned below the Supreme Response foam to provide precision contouring without slowing down the overall surface response.
  5. 8" Zoned Ascension® Coil Core (up to 1,032 coils): Brooklyn Bedding's premium individually encased coil system with zoned lumbar support -- firmer coils in the center third of the mattress for spinal alignment, with softer zones at the head and foot. Reinforced perimeter coils support edge integrity across the full mattress surface.
  6. High-Density Base Foam: Stabilizes the coil system and supports long-term structural durability.

Why It Matters: The Spartan's comfort system is meaningfully thicker than a standard hybrid, which is how it earns an 8.0 pressure relief score alongside responsive coil support. The PCM and gel swirl memory foam work at different stages of the thermal cycle -- the PCM managing sustained heat absorption, the gel foam addressing surface heat buildup. And the Nanobionic RE-3 cover adds a recovery dimension that most mattresses in this price range don't offer. CertiPUR-US® certified foams throughout.

Performance Breakdown

CategoryOur RatingSummary
Pressure Relief8 / 10Strong. The three-layer foam comfort system delivers meaningful contouring and pressure relief across the shoulders and hips. A competitive result for a hybrid at this height, and one of the stronger scores in the Brooklyn Bedding lineup. Firmness selection matters here -- the Soft and Medium will deliver noticeably more surface give than the Firm.
Cooling8 / 10Very good. The layered approach -- PCM in the CopperFlex foam, gel swirl memory foam below, and coil-driven airflow through the core -- delivers sustained cooling rather than a surface-only effect. A strong result for a thick, foam-forward comfort system.
Support7 / 10Good. The zoned Ascension® coil core provides solid spinal support across positions, with firmer lumbar coils adding targeted lower back reinforcement. Not the highest support score in our showroom, but well-calibrated for most average-weight sleepers across all three firmness options.
Motion Isolation7 / 10Good for a hybrid. The three foam comfort layers absorb a meaningful amount of partner movement before it reaches the coil system. Above average for a mattress with this much bounce and responsiveness. Couples who are highly sensitive to partner movement should still test this in-store alongside a foam-forward option for comparison.
Edge Support7.5 / 10Very good. The reinforced perimeter Ascension® coils provide consistent edge support across the full mattress surface. Sleeping near the side or sitting on the edge is stable and comfortable -- a practical advantage for couples who use the full width of the mattress.
Ease of Movement8 / 10Excellent. The responsive foam layers and coil core make repositioning natural and low-effort throughout the night. A strong score for combination sleepers and anyone who shifts positions frequently.

Sleep Position Ratings

Very good, with firmness selection being key. The Soft is the strongest starting point for side sleepers under 130 lbs or anyone who wants maximum shoulder and hip contouring. The Medium works well for average-weight side sleepers up to around 200 lbs. Test both in the showroom before deciding.

Good to very good. The zoned lumbar coils and medium-firm feel of the Medium and Firm options provide solid spinal alignment for back sleepers across most body weights. The Soft may allow more hip sink than heavier back sleepers need for proper alignment.

Good in the Firm option. The firmer surface provides better hip support and spinal alignment for stomach sleepers at average body weights. The Soft and Medium may allow too much hip sink for stomach sleepers above 150 lbs.

Excellent. The 8.0 ease-of-movement score and three-layer responsive foam system make this one of the better options on our floor for sleepers who naturally move through multiple positions during the night. All three firmness levels score well here.

Final Verdict

The Brooklyn Bedding Spartan is a well-rounded recovery and performance hybrid that earns consistent 8.0 scores across pressure relief, cooling, and ease of movement -- three categories that matter most to its target customer. The FIR recovery cover, layered PCM cooling system, and three firmness options make it one of the more complete and flexible options in this segment.

Support and motion isolation both land at 7.0, which is solid but not the headline. For active sleepers, hot sleepers, and anyone who wants Bear-level recovery technology in a Brooklyn Bedding build, the Spartan is worth serious consideration.

Best For

  • ✓ Active and recovery-focused sleepers who want FIR technology in the cover
  • ✓ Hot sleepers who need layered, sustained cooling rather than a surface-only effect
  • ✓ Side sleepers at average body weights, especially in the Soft or Medium firmness
  • ✓ Combination sleepers who want a responsive, multi-firmness hybrid
  • ✓ Couples who want above-average motion isolation from a coil-based mattress

Not Ideal For

  • ✗ Sleepers who need the strongest possible lumbar support -- compare with zoned options in the showroom
  • ✗ Couples who are highly sensitive to any partner movement -- a foam-dominant mattress will score higher here
  • ✗ Stomach sleepers at heavier body weights, who may need a firmer or more structured option
  • ✗ Shoppers who prioritize a lifetime warranty -- the Spartan carries a 10-year warranty
