Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Mattress
One layer in this mattress is doing three jobs. Copper particles infused into the top comfort foam make it antimicrobial, and copper is one of the most conductive materials available, so the same layer moves heat and moisture away from the surface. The memory foam it is infused into is what contours around a shoulder or a hip. Value-tier mattresses usually pick one of those three and skip the rest. The CopperFlex® gets all three out of a single engineered layer, which is most of the reason Mattress Nerd named it Best Affordable Mattress Overall for 2026 and Sleep Foundation and Sleepopolis both named it Best Cheap Mattress Overall.
The second decision is yours. The Memory Foam model is all foam, for a conforming feel that spreads pressure across the whole body. The Hybrid model swaps the lower foams for an 8″ Ascension X core of up to 760 individually encased coils, which brings edge support, airflow and coil-driven relief for back, hip and shoulder pain. Both models are 12″ tall, both run six layers, both include a dedicated 0.75″ zoned lumbar support layer, and both land at medium-firm. Assembled in Arizona, shipped free in a box, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

The Technology
Four layers that earn their place
Six layers make up a CopperFlex®. These four are the ones that change how it sleeps, from the copper at the top down to the support system you choose at checkout.
?CopperFlex® copper-infused memory foamThe signature layer, and the one carrying three functions at once. Copper gives it natural antimicrobial properties for a cleaner sleep surface over the life of the mattress. Copper’s conductivity is what wicks moisture and pulls heat off the surface. The memory foam base of the layer does the pressure-point work under shoulders and hips.Antimicrobial, cooling, pressure relief?Zoned lumbar support layerA 0.75″ foam layer aimed at the lower back specifically, holding the lumbar region in line while the softer layers above it contour. Reducing pressure at the lumbar area is where a lot of morning aches come from. Most mattresses at this price leave the layer out.0.75″ targeted layer?8″ Ascension X coil core, Hybrid modelChoosing the Hybrid replaces the lower foam layers with up to 760 individually encased coils in an 8″ unit. Encasement lets each coil move on its own, which is what gives the Hybrid its edge support, its airflow through the core, and coil-driven relief for back, hip and shoulder issues.Up to 760 encased coils?Quilt foam and VariFlex transitionA 1″ Pressure-Relieving Quilt Foam layer sits at the very top and adapts to the shape of the body pressing into it. Below the copper, VariFlex transition foam carries the contouring down into the zoned lumbar layer and keeps the handoff to the support system gradual.1″ quilt foam

A Closer Look
Inside the two models
Construction
Six layers, two ways to finish them
Both models share their top half. The difference starts below the transition foam, where the Memory Foam model keeps building in foam and the Hybrid hands the job to a coil unit. The zoned lumbar layer stays in either way.
- Memory Foam: quilt foam, CopperFlex® memory foam, comfort foam, VariFlex transition, zoned lumbar support, high-density base
- Hybrid: quilt foam, CopperFlex® memory foam, VariFlex transition, 8″ Ascension X coils, base
- 1″ Pressure-Relieving Quilt Foam at the top of both
- 0.75″ zoned lumbar support in both

Where this sits in the CopperFlex® range
Copper-infused memory foam runs through all three. Height, layer count and the cooling technology above the copper are what move between them.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Pick Memory Foam if you want the conforming, all-foam feel that spreads pressure across the whole body. Pick Hybrid if you want coil-driven support: an 8″ Ascension X core with up to 760 encased coils brings relief for back, hip and shoulder issues, firmer edges to sit on, and airflow through the middle of the mattress. The top foams and the warranty are identical.Three things from one layer. Copper is naturally antimicrobial, which reduces bacteria and allergen growth in the foam. It is also one of the most conductive materials available, so it draws heat away and helps the layer wick moisture. And the memory foam it sits in supplies pressure-point relief for reduced aches and pains.It is a 0.75″ foam layer dedicated to the lower back. While the comfort foams above contour to your shape, this one keeps the lumbar region supported and reduces pressure there. It is included in both models.Medium-firm, in both models. That range suits combination sleepers who change position overnight and side sleepers who still want contouring at the shoulder and hip. There is no separate firmness option to choose.The Memory Foam model runs Pressure-Relieving Quilt Foam, CopperFlex® memory foam, comfort foam, VariFlex transition foam, zoned lumbar support, then a high-density base.
