Brentwood Home Cedar Natural Mattress

The brentwood home mattress review is an all natural, organic option that holds up to the quality Brentwood Home has been producing for quite some time.  I think this is perhaps the best natural mattress for side sleeping, but still firm enough for stomach and back sleeping.  See the full review below.

You will like the Brentwood Home Cedar if you:

  • Like to sleep cool – The organic cotton quilt and natural latex layers do not hold heat.  If you are a hot sleeper latex is a good choice.  Its aerated for airflow and has less body hug, which ensures more of your body is exposed to the air.  Kayla is typically always cold so heat was not an issue for her either.
  • Want a Natural Mattress that’s good for side sleeping – The Cedar is softer than other natural latex mattresses we have tested.  It uses medium density foam and the 2nd layer is grooved which allows the foam to give a little easier making it better for side sleeping.
  • Want a good value – The natural mattress market is smaller and the Cedar is priced right where it should be.  Its a fair price for the quality of build.

  • Are looking for a latex feel with good bounce – The Cedar uses latex and a pocketed coil unit which both help with bounce and less of a sinking/stuck feeling.
  • Are looking for a mattress to fit all sleeping positions – The Cedar is a good medium feel and it performed well for all of our sleeping position tests.  Many of the latex/natural mattresses we have tested have been firmer.  This has a little softer feel which makes it the best natural option for side sleepers in our opinion.

You might not like Brentwood Home Cedar if you:

  • Want a super soft mattress – Sierra is a medium feel.  If you prefer an extra soft mattress you will want to look elsewhere.

  • Don’t like coil mattresses –  If you are a foam mattress lover you may want to consider something with a foam core.

  • Prefer a lot of body hug – Latex hybrid mattresses will tend to have more of a floating/sleeping o top of the mattress compared to a memory foam where you have more pronounced body hug. 

Brentwood Home Mattress Construction

  • Organic Cotton Cover
    An organic cotton cover is hand-tufted to secure layers without chemical adhesives. It’s pesticide free, eco-friendly, and quilted with a natural fire barrier of hydrated silica sand, the same compound as the gemstone Opal.

    Organic Cotton Fiber Quilting
    Competitors use foam in their quilted panels and borders. Our Cedar green mattress keeps it natural with organic cotton fibers.

    New Zealand Wool
    Untreated New Zealand wool wicks away moisture, allows for air circulation, and regulates temperature for comfortable sleep through the seasons.

    2-Inch All Natural Latex Layer
    Available in a medium feel, made with natural latex and free of synthetic ingredients. Our latex is made with the Dunlop process.

    Density: 4.0lb/ft3

    2-inch Grooved All Natural Latex
    Our second all natural latex layer is computer designed and cut into 3 targeted zones for increased airflow and precise comfort for your lower back, legs, and shoulders. Our latex made with the Dunlop process. brentwood home mattress review

    Density: 4.7lb/ft3

    All Natural Flaxseed Fiber Pad
    Most mattresses use synthetic padding to add support. Instead, we chose an all natural layer of flaxseed fibers to separate latex and coils.

    8-inch Individually Wrapped Coils 
    A layer of individually wrapped coils allows precise body contouring for optimal support. Reinforced coils in the lumbar region give your lower back the support it needs, and edge retention coils allow you to sit or sleep at the edges without rolling off. We choose isolated springs to reduce noise, motion transfer, and partner disturbance.

    1-inch Coconut Husk Support Layer
    Forget foam bases – we chose an eco-friendly and sustainable layer of organic coconut husk. It’s usually discarded as waste, but we repurpose it for its circulation and antimicrobial properties.

Brentwood Mattress Cover

Organic Cotton Cover
An organic cotton cover is hand-tufted to secure layers without chemical adhesives. It’s pesticide free, eco-friendly, and quilted with a natural fire barrier of hydrated silica sand, the same compound as the gemstone Opal with durable side panels WITH handles!

Brentwood Home Mattress Foundation

Sierra will work on any solid surface.  A wood foundation, boxspring, slats, the floor and will work great on an adjustable base.

His and Hers – Firmness and Feel:

My thoughts (Ross)

I sometimes have trouble with latex being a little firm for my liking, especially when side sleeping.  I feel like the grooved layer of latex helps provide a little mroe give which helped soften it a bit and helped it become one of my favorite latex mattresses for side sleeping.

The brentwood home mattress review impressed me for the following reasons.

A.) To me the overall build and quality was above average.  The quantum coil unit is very good, its all natural and button tufted, which you see on high end mattresses.

B.) The top comfort layers really didn’t get hot and it had a great feel.

C.) It worked well in all sleeping positions.

E.) The handles make it easy to spin and move around.

F.) 25 year warranty

Her thoughts (Kayla)

1st of all the Brentwood products we have tested have all be very nice.  Much more impressive than so many of the 10″ foam mattresses.

The mattress had a high end look and feel.  Being that I help Ross move these around all the time the handles were a huge help for me.  It performed exceptionally well for back and stomach sleeping and works for side sleeping too.  If you are a light person side sleeping on latex will be tougher since its harder to sink into or pushes back a little more than memory foam.  But as Ross said I think that’s one reason they grooved the 2nd layer of latex.  I would recommend anyone looking to try a latex mattress or hybrid that’s not memory foam.

Softness-Firmness level: 5
1 Very Soft
5 Medium
10 Very Firm

Temperature:

The Cedar mattress slept very cool.  Latex in general sleeps cool, it does not trap heat nearly as much as memory foam.  The latex is also aerated so it has hold punched through which helps a lot with airflow.  The grooved layer of latex adds even more space for air to flow.  I would say anyone more concerned about heat than anything while mattresses shopping should consider a latex mattress for sure.

Adjustable Base Performance:

The Cedar will work great on an adjustable base.
