Brooklyn Bedding Chill 6'' Mattress Review

The Brooklyn Bedding Chill is an affordable mattress designed for sleepers looking for improved body-contouring and pressure point relief side by side with sound support. Using open cell technology, the mattress' memory foam is highly breathable, enhancing moisture wicking and effective temperature regulation.

The mattress comes in five models of different heights: 6'', 8'', 10'', 12'' and 14''. The more height the mattress has, the softer it is. This review focuses on the firmest 6'' model.

Pros & Cons

Mattress Construction

The Chill 6'' is an all-foam mattress which consists of a soft pressure relieving contouring layer on top of a firm layer providing the mattress with strong support.

Cover: Eco-friendly soft and breathable fabric made of a blend of cotton and polyester with Nano Stain Terminator finish designed for repelling stains, splashes and dirt.

Comfort Layer: 2'' of soft gel swirl memory foam for improved contouring and comfort.

Support Layer: 4'' of high-density poly foam which supports the softer comfort layers above it and functions as a solid base for the mattress as a whole.

Feel

The breathable cover of the Chill 6'' make the surface of the mattress cool to the touch, and it remains so even after prolonged sleep.

The gel swirl memory foam layer in the comfort layer provides enhanced comfort. The soft gel pods cradle the body giving sleeper a pleasant melting-into-the-bed sensation. These gel pods also dissipate heat helping keep the mattress cool.

The highly contouring comfort layer is countered by the hardened foam in the support layer which prevents over-sinking enabling sleepers to feel supported and stable on the mattress.

Pressure Relief

Side sleepers who weigh less than 250 pounds won't get enough cushioning from the Chill 6''. This may result in the accumulation of pressure in their shoulders and hips, discomfort and pain.

On the other hand, the firmness of the Chill 6'' will benefit side sleepers who weigh more than 250 as it'll prevent over sinking in their hips and shoulders helping them maintain healthy posture.

Lightweight back sleepers will require a mattress which is softer than the Chill 6'' to mitigate pressure in their lumbar back. They should opt for the 12'' or the 14'' models.

The 2'' memory foam layer in the Chill 6'' will provide back sleepers who weigh more than 150 pounds with sufficient cushioning to prevent the accumulation of pressure in their lower back. At the same time, the dense foam below will support their torso and keep their spine properly aligned.

The Chill 6'' will fail to provide lightweight stomach sleepers with the extra cushioning they require in the abdomen area to prevent pressure buildup in the lumber and thoracic spine. They should try the mattress' thicker models, which are plusher and more contouring.

Average and heavyweight stomach sleepers will highly appreciate the firmness of the Chill 6''. The mattress' support layer will generate enough lift to curb over-sagging in their abdomen area preventing lower back pain.

Motion Isolation

Despite its firmness, The Chill 6'', being an all-foam mattress without coils, does a wonderful job isolating motion. The 2'' soft memory foam in the comfort layer can absorb much of the kinetic energy sleepers' movements generate. In other words, you'll hardly feel your partner's movements at night even if he/she tends to sleep restlessly.

Repositioning

As a rule of thumb, moving on the surface of foam mattresses can be a bit difficult especially for XL sleepers as there are no coils and latex to create lift and bounciness. Having said that, the firmness of the Chill 6'' minimizes sinkage and, so, enables greater mobility.

In other words, you'll probably won't have a problem changing sleep positions lying on the Chill 6''. Getting out of bed, however, will require more effort compared to latex and coil mattresses.

Edge Support

The Chill 6'' is highly stable on its perimeter thanks to the hardened poly foam in the support layer which makes it impervious to sagging even when it comes to plus-size sleepers. These sleepers won't need to move towards the center and will, therefore, enjoy bigger sleep space.

Heat Retention

As its name suggests, the Chill 6'' is an excellent choice for people who sleep hot. Its memory foam is manufactured using open cell technology and that makes it highly breathable. In addition, the gel composition of the foam helps disperse sleepers' body heat across the entire mattress reducing heat retention.

Frame & Foundation

The Chill 6'' fits almost all types of foundations and frames as long as they're solid enough to support it. If you decide to use a slat bed, make sure the slats are no more than 3'' apart in order to keep the mattress stable and prolong its lifespan.

Brooklyn Bedding manufactures its own foundations. These foundations are built to provide the mattresses with robust center support.

The Super Duty High Rise Platform is a solid tubular steel construct. Its prices vary from $139 for a Twin XL mattress (it doesn't support a Twin mattress) to $219 for a California King mattress.

The Ascension Bi-Fold Foundation is characterized by the traditional look and feel of a box spring. It can be easily assembled and moved from one room to another without too much difficulty. It's sold with an easy to remove and washable zip-off cover. A foundation for a Twin size mattress costs $229. Maximum price stands at $329 for a California King mattress.

The Ready to Assemble Box Foundation also resembles a box spring. Like the Ascension Bi-Fold Foundation, it's easy to assemble and is highly portable. Its prices range from $249 for a Twin mattress to $369 for a California King mattress.

All foundations can support up to 1,500 pounds of evenly distributed weight, and they come with a 3-year limited parts replacement warranty.

The Chill is also compatible with adjustable bases. Brooklyn Bedding manufactures 3 models you can buy for your Chill 6''.
