A Unique Mattress Topper Feature: Firmness Options

The Brooklyn Bedding Latex Topper is unique with three firmness options, each with a distinct ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) rating. That enables you to choose the one best for your comfort and support needs:

• Soft (19 ILD) – With more contouring and pressure relief, soft is generally ideal for side sleepers, lightweight individuals, and those who want a plush, sinking-in feel.
• Medium (28 ILD) – Back and combination sleepers, average-weight individuals, side sleepers wanting slight contouring, and couples with different sleep preferences may like medium. For many sleepers, it balances comfort and support.
• Firm (36 ILD) – Stomach sleepers, plus-size individuals, and those looking for extra lower back support may prefer firm to prevent excess sinking and maintain spine alignment.

All three options have a 3-inch depth, offering a more significant comfort adjustment than a 1-2 inch latex topper. While soft may be best if your existing mattress feels a bit too stiff, the firm option can be better for a mattress that is a little too soft. Medium can suit either a mattress that is firmer or softer than you prefer; it is generally soft enough to cushion and firm enough to support.

Several Sizes

Brooklyn Bedding’s Latex Topper is 3” thick and is available in the most popular sizes. Choose from these options:

• Twin
• Twin XL
• Full
• Queen
• Short Queen
• King
• Cal King

These sizes correspond to standard US mattresses of the same names. For example, a king-size mattress topper is designed to fit a king-size mattress.

The queen short size is not one that you always see with mattress toppers. Measuring 60 inches by 74 inches, it has a slightly shorter length than queen size and the same width, making it suited to RVs and campers with queen short mattresses.

Construction Review of Brooklyn Bedding’s 3” Latex Topper

These construction details can help you decide if the topper meets what you’re looking for, from materials to design. Let’s talk first about its protective cover.

Organic Cotton Cover

The top-quality fabric used for the topper cover is organic cotton. As the cotton is grown without harsh chemicals or pesticides, it’s less likely to irritate the skin or trigger allergies. Plus, the cover has a zipper to remove it for convenient washing, making it part of a more sanitary and hypoallergenic sleep environment. The cover protects the latex foam layer, helping it last longer with proper care, and the material is highly breathable.

100% Latex Fill

Brooklyn Bedding’s Latex Topper features a thick 3-inch layer of Talalay latex foam. It is made from natural Talalay rubber, which is known for a greater bounce and more plush texture than Dunlop. Talalay also has a breathable open-cell structure and is known for its resilience. The choices of soft, medium, or firm help you get the feel you want.

American Made

Brooklyn Bedding designs and assembles its toppers in the United States. Those who want to support local can feel good knowing it comes from Arizona. The topper has both domestic and foreign components.

Safety Certification

This Brooklyn Bedding mattress topper is certified OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class 1. That means the topper has passed strict safety testing for over 100 harmful substances, including heavy metals like lead and mercury, formaldehyde, and pesticides. Class 1 is the strictest of the four safety levels from OEKO-TEX®. Safer bedding can increase peace of mind, especially in households with individuals who have allergies or chemical sensitivities.

Brooklyn Bedding 3” Latex Topper Review: Pros and Any Limitations

Custom Feel

Choose which of the three firmness options you most prefer for the latex topper, based on your sleep style, body type, feel of the mattress beneath, and personal preference. In the earlier “Firmness Options” section, we discussed which option is most likely to suit which sleepers. There are options for a range of sleep positions and body weights.

Being able to fine-tune the feel of the topper like this provides a more personalized sleep experience, without requiring a new mattress. Of course, even the best topper like this one from Brooklyn Bedding cannot fix a sagging or worn-out mattress.

Several buyers online say the topper is comfortable and has improved their sleep quality. While we cannot guarantee this result, it’s reassuring to know the positive experience of some sleepers.

Buoyant and Responsive

Talalay latex is known for responding instantly, gently pushing back against the body for a lifted feel, rather than sinking into the topper. While that may not suit those who find the sinking feel of memory foam comforting, the latex topper will likely suit those who want to sleep on a topper rather than having a stuck or slow-motion. Buoyancy makes the topper easier to change positions without resistance, which is why combination and restless sleepers often look for this quality.

Durable and Supportive

The top-quality latex layer makes for great durability, helping the topper last longer. That may help you get more life from an existing mattress. Many sleep styles can find support from the three firmness options.

Plus, latex is known to confirm to the individual sleeper’s curves, which helps the spine stay aligned. This support may prevent or reduce pain at pressure points like the lower back. For chronic pain in the back or any other body area, see a doctor for treatment; we are not medical experts, and this review is not medical advice.

Temporary Latex Smell

When first removed from the box, the Talalay latex may have a faint rubbery odor. It is natural, not a chemical smell, and likely to fade within a short time. Some people find opening windows helps air out the bedroom. The slight smell is not to be confused with off-gassing. Natural latex has minimal off-gassing (chemical fumes), making it a better option for those with smell sensitivities or who want a healthier sleep experience.

Ideal Thickness

Many people find 3 inches to be an ideal thickness for a latex topper. It has enough depth to cushion pressure points like the hips and shoulders that side sleepers often require. Thinner toppers (1-2 inches) may feel too soft or unstable, and they may not provide a noticeable change in feel. A 3-inch topper may also absorb more motion than thinner ones, making it less likely that those who sleep with a partner will feel the other person move at night.

Pressure Relief

The Brooklyn Bedding 3” Latex Topper offers pressure-relieving value, especially for side and combination sleepers. The Talalay latex used in this topper may reduce pressure in key areas for certain sleepers, such as the shoulders and hips for some side sleepers, and the lower back for back sleepers who need support without hard contact. Stomach sleepers will likely gravitate toward the firmest option for this topper to keep the hips and pelvis from excessive sinking while maintaining spinal alignment.

Breathable

A breathable mattress topper can help regulate temperature and keep you dry. For some people, that improves sleep quality. Brooklyn Bedding’s breathable cover and open-cell Talalay used in the 3” Latex Topper contribute to better airflow. That may prevent overheating from waking sleepers up.

No Anchor Straps

This latex topper does not have built-in corner straps to attach it to the mattress, so it may shift or bunch up slightly while sleeping. However, several accessories are available for purchase elsewhere to help keep it in place. Adding a non-slip mattress pad or gripper, deep-pocket fitted sheet, tight-fitting mattress protector, sheet straps, or Velcro straps are possible options to help, as per Brooklyn Bedding’s support section on its site.

Convenient to Wash

Save time with easier cleaning. The cover of the 3” Latex Topper unzips to easily remove it and put into the washing machine. Check the label for washing instructions. Brooklyn Bedding’s support team on its website chat feature told us it is best to wash the cover on a gentle cycle with mild detergent in cold to warm water, then air-drying it (no dryer).

Naturally Hypoallergenic

Talalay latex, like that used in this Brooklyn Bedding mattress topper, is considered hypoallergenic. Latex naturally resists dust mites, mold, and bacteria, which commonly trigger allergy attacks. Also, the OEKO-TEX® Class 1 certifications make it safer for sensitive users.

Finally, the open cell structure of the latex and breathable, washable cover help prevent allergen buildup. However, if you have a latex allergy, it is important to see your doctor before using this mattress topper to ensure it is suitable for you.

More to Know: Price, Shipping, Returns & Warranty

A topper is a more affordable alternative to buying a new mattress. While this top-quality Brooklyn Bedding topper has a higher price point that won’t fit every budget, it can help extend the lifespan of an existing mattress. That is, provided the mattress hasn’t lost support or begun to sag.

Plus, the 3” Latex Topper includes a warranty and return policy, adding to its value. In the unlikely case that you are not totally happy with the latex topper, Brooklyn Bedding offers an exchange or full refund within 30 days of when it was delivered. In the US, Hawaii and Alaska residents must pay shipping charges.

Brooklyn Bedding includes a three-year manufacturer’s warranty with the 3” Latex Topper, covering certain defects. That is an impressive length for a bedding accessory, in our opinion. For more details, Brooklyn Beddings suggests contacting its support team through its website.

Further value comes with the free ground shipping to the contiguous US states. There is a small cost to ship to Alaska and Hawaii. The topper ships to your home in a box, making it easier for you to move to the chosen room.

Concluding Remarks: Brooklyn Bedding 3” Latex Topper Review

Based on our review, Brooklyn Bedding’s 3” Latex Topper stands out as an option to customize mattress comfort. With three firmness options, it suits a range of sleep styles and body types. Plus, the Talalay latex gives the topper a buoyant, responsive feel that makes movement easier and cushions pressure points across many sleep styles. The latex is also breathable, as is the organic cotton cover.

While it lacks corner straps, simple add-ons like a non-slip pad can help this mattress topper stay in place. It has natural hypoallergenic properties and a textile certification that make it a safer pick for those with certain sensitivities. The cover is easy to clean, too, as it is removable and machine washable. The Brooklyn Bedding 3” Latex Topper is a quality option to improve comfort and enhance support for solo sleepers and couples.
