Review of the 4-lb Memory Foam Topper Construction

Learning how it is made can help you make a more informed decision.

USA Made

Brooklyn Bedding makes this product in the United States. It is put together using foreign and domestic pieces. For those who want to support local, this detail is important.

Memory Foam

The plush-feeling memory foam comes in two or three-inch options. With a 4-lb density, it has more foam material in a specific area, so it is heavier than some foams. The good news is that a heavier topper can improve support for some sleepers. Memory foam is a popular topper choice because of the additional support and cushioning it may add to a mattress.

Breathable Knit Cover

The GlacioTex™ cover features knit fabric. The top-quality circular knit material feels smooth and breathable. It features GlacioTex™ technology to encourage a cooler sleep.

Zips Up

We like the zippers on the covers, which makes them easy to remove. You might take the cover off to clean any stains or other messes.

Machine Washable

When it is dirty, put the cover in the washing machine for an easy clean. Choose cool or lukewarm water, following the directions on the tag. Regular washing of the 4-lb Memory Foam Topper’s cover makes for a more hypoallergenic sleep environment, as per Brooklyn Bedding’s website. Washing can remove or lessen dust mites, which some people are allergic or sensitive to.

CertiPUR-US Certified

The foam has received CertiPUR-US certification, meaning it meets specific criteria for emissions, content, and durability. That includes being free of ozone depleters and made without formaldehyde. Those who want to be kinder to the environment with their purchase decisions will appreciate this label.

How Does It Feel? And Will It Suit My Sleep Position?

These questions are important to ask yourself, so we address them next in this review of the Brooklyn Bedding 4-lb Memory Foam Topper. Firmness refers to how the topper feels under you. What you prefer, whether soft or firmer, depends on what you are used to and what you find comfortable in your preferred sleep position.

Plush Soft

This topper is plush, so it is on the softer side when it comes to firmness. It offers medium-level support.

The GlacioTex™ option provides cooling upon contact, which may make it a good fit for those who tend to overheat at night. It has a silky feel.

Sleep Styles

Side sleepers often prefer softer mattress toppers, so the plush 4-lb Memory Foam Topper may feel very comfortable. However, it may not have enough firmness for stomach or back sleepers, who often benefit from extra support while sleeping in these positions all night to prevent aches.

Thus, the 4-lb topper will likely suit side and combination sleepers. Sleeping on your side is the most common position, so this topper will appeal to many people.

Customizable and Cooling: What We Like Best about this Topper

Along with choosing the size, you also can select which height you prefer for the cooling Brooklyn Bedding topper.

Select the Height

Choose 2 inches or 3 inches for height. More height can increase comfort for some sleepers. The 2-inch option may suit those who primarily want to add more comfort to their mattress. It may also provide enough support for lighter-weight individuals or kids.

The 3-inch option can add support. Note, though, that the higher one’s weight, the more likely one is to sink into the memory foam, and this sinking feeling isn’t comfortable for everyone.

Cooling Cover

While memory foam has a reputation for being hot to sleep on for some people, this is much less likely to occur with the included GlacioTex™ cover. The cool tech fibers cool upon contact with the body to prevent episodes of waking up sweating and uncomfortable. Plus, Brooklyn Bedding uses an open cell memory foam that has naturally cooling properties.

4-lb. Memory Foam Topper Review: Pros and Any Limitations

There are a lot of positives about this mattress topper, with a few potential drawbacks.

Memory Foam Benefits

Memory foam is known for providing support and responsiveness. It contours to your unique body as you lay on it, which provides pressure relief for some people.

The 4-lb density amplifies these benefits. The high depth increases the foam’s pressure relief capacity while maintaining comfort. As some reviewers online note, comfort starts to wane at 5-lb foam density, in their opinion, except for higher-weight individuals. Those over 250 pounds might prefer a dense topper of 5 lbs instead.

For those who find memory foam uncomfortable and instead prefer a different material, this topper will not be right for you. A common complaint about memory foam is that it traps heat, which may lead to night sweats. But Brooklyn Bedding takes care to use an open cell technology to allow body heat to naturally dissipate. The design also features a cooling knit cover to help avoid this issue.

Great Motion Isolation

The dense memory foam withstands compression well, absorbing motion. That means it has low motion transfer. This quality is a big benefit for couples because it means that when the topper is in place, the mattress won’t wake up your partner when you move during the night. They can keep sleeping soundly, and vice versa.

Washable Cover Reduces Allergens

The GlacioTex™ cover can contribute to a cleaner sleep environment. It is removable, allowing for washing to reduce or eliminate common allergens, such as dust mites. That may lead to a more comfortable sleep.

Durable

A denser foam means better durability. That’s good news for those who criticize memory foam for losing its shape over time. With more density comes more resistance to daily wear and tear. Thus, it is more likely to keep its shape longer.

Sleep Positions

As discussed earlier in this review, side and combination sleepers may benefit from the supportive memory foam in Brooklyn Bedding’s 4-inch Memory Foam Topper. However, it may not support back and stomach sleepers in the right places.

Reasonably Priced

Given its density, the luxurious product is of great value. While it is not the cheapest out there, we wouldn’t expect it to be, given the quality of construction. It is especially well-priced because of the customization it offers.

It will fit the budget of those looking for a premium mattress topper. For cost savings, there are periodic sales.

A Look at Delivery, Sleep Trial, Warranty, and Returns

The 4-lb Memory Foam Mattress Topper is conveniently delivered in a box to your doorstep, making it easier to take to your bedroom. Ground shipping is free within the contiguous United States. The fee to ship the topper to Alaska and Hawaii is $45, and it is $65 to ship to Canada.

In the unlikely event you are not fully satisfied with it, return within 30 days from the delivery date. While trying it out for 30 days is a short time, we do appreciate that a full refund is possible within that time (provided you meet the policy terms).

The company covers the return shipping costs with a pre-paid label, although you must package the merchandise (Brooklyn Bedding does not providing packaging for the return). If the item is on clearance, it cannot be returned or exchanged.

A three-year manufacturer warranty comes with your topper. This is a generous warranty length for bed accessories and covers certain defects.

We suggest reading the warranty terms and other relevant policies to ensure you understand what they cover. Brooklyn Bedding can change any of its policies at any time.

Review Conclusions about the Brooklyn Bedding 4-lb Memory Foam Topper

With contouring abilities and pressure relief properties, this mattress topper with GlacioText™ cover may meet the needs of those looking for support and comfort beyond what the current mattress provides. That is particularly true for side and combination sleepers.

The sizes accommodate singles and couples, and there is even a Queen Short size for RVs. Plus, the highly dense memory foam is CertiPUR-US certified, appealing to eco-conscious shoppers, and has low motion transfer to help couples sleep better together.

The plush feel is likely to be preferred by those who are used to a soft sleep surface, rather than a firmer one. Also, people who like customization will appreciate the different heights available. Finally, those who sleep hot may enjoy a cooler night’s sleep with the GlacioTex™ technology.

After careful consideration, our review team concludes that we stand behind the quality of the 4-inch Memory Foam Topper from Brooklyn Bedding.
