Our team at Sleep Foundation conducts extensive hands-on tests for each mattress to provide you with the most reliable, data-driven recommendations and reviews. Below are key guidelines that inform our testing methodology:
Our testers lie on the surface of each mattress to evaluate factors such as contouring and support. We also use specialized tools to measure performance criteria like pressure relief, heat retention, and motion isolation.
We test each mattress using various sleep positions to observe whether a mattress is better suited for side, back, or stomach sleeping. We roll around the surface and sit on the edges to gauge ease of movement and perimeter support.
We have tested hundreds of mattresses and bring years of experience in the mattress industry to the test lab. Our testing team covers a wide range of sleep preferences, sleep positions, and body types. This helps us represent as many sleeper types as possible in our reviews.
The materials and hybrid construction of the EcoSleep optimize both temperature regulation and airflow, making it ideal for hot sleepers. Also, it carries GOTS and Greenguard materials certifications.

EcoSleep is an eco-conscious brand from Brooklyn Bedding, a direct-to-consumer mattress company known for its diverse array of beds. The EcoSleep Mattress is EcoSleep’s flagship model. This medium firm (6) bed combines cotton, wool, Talalay latex, and pocketed coils to create a breathable and responsive sleep surface.
In addition to the EcoSleep Mattress, the brand also produces the EcoSleep Luxe. Like the EcoSleep, the Luxe has a medium firm feel and hybrid design. However, this luxury model incorporates a Euro-top cover for extra cushioning and a zoned design in the coils for targeted support. In contrast, the EcoSleep Mattress features a simpler design at a more affordable price-point.
We’ll take a look at the EcoSleep Mattress’ hybrid construction and explain how the bed performed during our in-house tests. In addition, we’ll break down what types of sleepers the mattress might be best for, how the pricing compares to other hybrids, and what shipping and return policies you should be aware of before making a purchase.

Side Sleepers
Side sleepers who weigh at least 230 pounds should get the balance of contouring and support that they need from the EcoSleep Mattress. The wool batting cushions a side sleeper’s sensitive areas, most notably the hips and shoulders, while the latex comfort layer gently conforms to the body to minimize pressure points. The pocketed coils in the support core also slightly compress under a side sleeper’s hip and shoulder, creating gentle pressure relief without compromising support.
Side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds found the EcoSleep moderately comfortable. This is largely due to the model’s medium firm feel, which allowed them to sink in enough to enjoy notable contouring. That said, it was a touch too firm for some. Side sleepers under 130 pounds didn’t sink in enough to receive sufficient pressure relief around their hips and shoulders.
Back Sleepers
The EcoSleep’s balance of responsiveness and cushioning is a good fit for back sleeping. Wool batting adds comfortable cradling for the spine. Meanwhile, the latex generates ample pushback for the lower back to ensure proper sleep posture. The pocketed coil core also adds even support across the full mattress. Since back sleepers usually need a sturdy surface with just enough give to cushion the spine, this mix of support and gentle cradling is optimal.
Back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds found the EcoSleep most comfortable. These testers reported feeling like they were sleeping on rather than in the mattress, which helped them maintain good posture. Those over 230 pounds sank too deep into the mattress, while those under 130 pounds received inadequate pressure relief.
Stomach Sleepers
The EcoSleep’s cushioning and limited sinkage are appropriate for many stomach sleepers, particularly those under 130 pounds. Midsection sinkage is often a problem for this sleep position, but the EcoSleep’s supportive design should limit this potential drawback for stomach sleepers in this weight group. The wool batting gently pads the surface, while the latex comfort layer provides even support.
The medium firm feel ensured stomach sleepers under 130 pounds stayed comfortably atop the surface. Many stomach sleepers over 130 pounds may prefer a firmer feel.
Mattress Performance
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Motion Isolation
6
/ 10
Despite its responsive design, the EcoSleep Mattress still offers moderate motion isolation.
While the Talalay latex comfort layer is naturally buoyant, organic wool batting cushions the surface and reduces some transfer of movement. Each coil in the support core is also individually encased, which helps prevent motion from transferring between coils.
Our testers evaluated motion isolation by lying on the EcoSleep while a kettlebell was dropped on the opposite side of the bed. We also had pairs of testers move around the surface to simulate sharing the bed with a partner. Our testers barely noticed a bed partner’s minor position changes, but they did feel some movement when the other tester tossed and turned.
Given these results, many sleepers may not notice a sleep partner’s movements on this bed. However, sleepers who wake up easily and share their bed with an active sleeper might experience disruptions at night.
Pressure Relief
7
/ 10
The EcoSleep Mattress provides notable pressure relief.
The wool gives the surface a plush feel, while the 3-inch Talalay latex layer cradles your body and spreads your weight evenly across the surface. Talalay latex tends to be softer than Dunlop latex, which enhances the bed’s pressure-relieving qualities. The pocketed coil core also has a responsive feel that gently compresses under the heavier parts of a sleeper’s body, reducing pressure buildup.
Pressure relief is usually a high priority for side sleepers, and our side-sleeping testers over 130 pounds found the EcoSleep well suited for this position. Their hips and shoulders received ample pressure relief without excessive sagging, and the comfort system distributed their weight evenly enough to reduce pressure buildup. Back sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds also reported experiencing little to no pressure point discomfort.
Temperature Control
8
/ 10
Thanks to its breathable construction, the EcoSleep retains minimal heat.
The cotton cover and wool batting are naturally breathable, which helps keep the surface at a comfortable temperature. The wool also acts as a natural temperature regulator by wicking away moisture to keep you dry. Additionally, perforations in the latex layer allow heat to escape while the coil system promotes strong air circulation in the core.
We used a thermal camera to detect temperature changes and found minimal heat retention after our testers moved away from the surface. Our team members reported a neutral temperature throughout the mattress evaluation.
Edge Support
7
/ 10
While many hybrid mattresses offer sturdy edges, the EcoSleep stands out in this category. The 3-inch latex layer prevents sleepers from sinking in too deep. Since the perimeter of the coil system in the support core is reinforced, the surface maintains a relatively even plane when weight is applied directly to the edge.
All of our testers felt comfortable sitting and lying along the perimeter of the bed. Those over 230 pounds noticed the compression a bit more than other testers, but they still felt secure enough to use the full mattress surface.
Most sleepers should be able to use the entire mattress without feeling unstable, which may be particularly beneficial for couples and anyone who frequently uses the edges of the bed.
Ease of Movement
8
/ 10
With its latex comfort system and bouncy coil core, the EcoSleep Mattress is highly responsive.
The Talalay latex has a buoyant feel that gently adapts to your body without the degree of sinkage that can inhibit movement. When you change positions, the latex springs back to its original shape so that there’s no lingering body impression to restrict movement. The coils further enhance the springiness and facilitate ease of movement. With the mattress’ medium firm feel, most sleepers won’t sink in deeply enough to experience inhibited movement.
Everyone on our team found the EcoSleep easier to move on than the average mattress model. Those over 230 pounds sank in a little more, which made position changes marginally more difficult, but overall we recommend the EcoSleep Mattress to anyone looking for a mattress that’s easy to move across. This includes active sleepers and those with mobility issues.
Off-Gassing
8
/ 10
Mattress-related off-gassing odors are usually the result of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced in the manufacturing of synthetic foam. Since the EcoSleep does not contain foam, it will not emit any VOC off-gassing odors.
Our testers reported that the EcoSleep Mattress had a slight rubbery odor when they first unboxed it. They noted that the smell completely dissipated after 24 hours in a well-ventilated room.
The mattress holds GREENGUARD Gold and eco-INSTITUT certifications, which verify that the mattress meets strict emissions criteria.
The EcoSleep Mattress is a medium firm mattress that rates 6 on our 10-point firmness scale, where 1 is the softest and 10 is the firmest. This hybrid model measures 11.5 inches thick.
The comfort system includes a layer of wool batting and 3 inches of Talalay latex. The wool serves as a natural fire barrier while also cushioning the surface, wicking moisture, and providing temperature control. Meanwhile, the latex has a responsive feel that relieves pressure buildup without contouring too deeply. A pocketed coil core generates support, and reinforced sides enhance sturdiness along the edges. A breathable cotton cover encases the mattress.
The cotton carries certification from the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) to guarantee organic sourcing. In addition to GOTS-certified cotton, the mattress also holds certifications from GREENGUARD Gold, eco-INSTITUT, and Fair Trade USA. GREENGUARD Gold and eco-INSTITUT standards guard against harmful off-gassing, while Fair Trade USA verifies that the mattress meets certain sustainability guidelines.

Trial, Warranty, and Shipping Policies
Availability
The EcoSleep is sold exclusively through the official EcoSleep website. It ships to customers in the U.S. and Canada.
Shipping
The EcoSleep Mattress ships for free to customers in the contiguous U.S. Shipping charges start at $250 for mattress deliveries in Canada and $125 per mattress for orders to Alaska and Hawaii. These charges are non-refundable.
EcoSleep builds each mattress in its Arizona factory after an order is placed. This process typically takes 10 to 14 business days. The mattress then ships via FedEx, usually arriving three to five business days after it leaves the factory. The bed arrives at the customer’s door rolled and wrapped in plastic, encased in a box.
EcoSleep recommends moving the package with the help of a second person, when possible. Carefully unpack the mattress. After the mattress has aired out and expanded for three to five hours, it is ready to sleep on. However, it may take up to 24 hours to fully decompress.
Additional Services
EcoSleep does not offer White Glove delivery or old mattress removal.
Sleep Trial
The EcoSleep Mattress comes with a 120-night sleep trial that begins the day the mattress arrives. After trying the mattress for at least 30 nights, customers can return their bed during the trial for a full refund of the purchase price. Unwanted mattresses are usually donated.
Alternatively, EcoSleep can provide a mattress topper to adjust the feel of the surface or provide advice on frame and center support.
Warranty
A ten-year limited warranty protects the EcoSleep Mattress. This policy covers the repair or replacement of mattresses with qualifying defects, such as impressions over 1 inch deep, sagging, or defects that lead to cracking or splitting material.
The warranty applies to the original purchaser and does not cover normal wear and tear or mattresses compressed for 60 days or more. Stains, abuse, and the use of an improper foundation void the warranty policy.
