Plank by Brooklyn Bedding Mattress Review

Inspired by the Orient’s minimalist approach to sleep, the Plank offers a firmer, flatter, flippable surface for a neutral spine position that’s better for your back and posture overall. Our dual comfort design offers two different levels of firmness, one on on each side of the mattress, for a flippable and highly customizable sleep. The Plank reduces pressure on your circulatory system, allowing for better blood flow—and provides better lower back support, compelling you to inhale more oxygen while you snooze.

Today, we will be discussing the Queen Mattress specifically, but you can rest assured that you will get virtually the same Real Sleep mattress experience discussed here even if you select an alternate size, so the information we will share here is still relevant when deciding whether or not this mattress brand is the right choice for you.

Our full review will be up soon and we will include all the details on what to expect form this mattress. In the meantime, make sure to check out our other popular Brooklyn Aurora and Brooklyn Signature reviews. As well as visit PlankMattress.com to see the bed for yourself.

Delivery, Unboxing & Set-up

Like many other bed-in-a-box brands, the Titan mattress is compressed and vacuum-sealed for the shipping process. Additionally, Titan mattresses are available for shipping and delivery to anywhere in the entire United States (even non-continental states such as Alaska and Hawaii) as well as Puerto Rico; that being said, shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico does normally involve an additional fee. Also, the Real Sleep mattress is not currently available for purchase internationally.

In any case, regardless of where you live, your Titan mattress will be delivered within a week of you placing your online order; it will arrive vacuum-sealed and packed within a cardboard box. Once you receive it, you will need to unpack it from the box and carefully cut open the plastic covering the mattress (take precautions in order to make sure that you do not cut the mattress itself during the unpacking process).

Because the Titan mattress is constructed entirely out of various memory foams, it may take it some time to fully expand and regain its proper size and shape. According to various reports, this may take anywhere from just a few hours to up to a full day.

Additionally, there may also be some slight off-gassing. And while this odor is not harmful to you (and is largely a by-product of the vacuum-sealing more than anything), the smell can still bother some people so it’s advisable to wait for your new mattress to air out before using it.

You like the Plank Mattress if you:

  • Want a very supportive mattress
  • Value the option of having two firmness’s in one mattress.
  • Want good edge support
  • Sleep hot.  Your body does not sink a lot, and it does not use any foams that are heat retaining.  Plus has a cool fabric upgrade option.

You might not like the Plank if you:

  • Prefer very good pressure relief and a softer feel.

Comfort & Feel

On the soft side this mattress provides a bit of softness in the quilt so it could work for firm lovers in all sleeping positions.  But it will work best for those people sleeping on their side and back.

I would give the soft side about a 8 out of 10 with 10 being the firmest.  And the firm side a 9.5.  See my video above for the best information on how the mattress feels.

Motion Isolation

This uses an independent pocketed coil unit so it will have less motion than a traditional innerspring.  The firmer you go the less pressure relief and motion isolation, but this still does a pretty good job.  Most people should not have issues with motion.

Off Gassing

Plank uses all CertiPUR foams so there is nothing harmful in the mattresses.  That paired with them being made when they are ordered they are not rolled for long which helps with any off gassing.  Off gassing is a none issue with the Plank.

Edge Support

The edge coils are stronger on the outer two rows.  This provides good edges while seated and laying down.  You can utilize the entire mattress surface for sleeping without feeling like you are rolling out of the mattress.

Plank Mattress Construction

Plank Mattress Cover

Plank also features a cover that is both breathable and stylish.  They offer a cooling fabric upgrade as well.

Plank Foundation

The Real Sleep will work great on any solid surface.  The floor, platform slats, boxspring/foundation and they now offer an adjustable base as well.

Firmness and Feel:

My thoughts (Ross)

I really enjoy a firmer mattress.  I do like the softer side of this mattress because it offers some pressure relief on the top of the mattress but is very supportive under that.  For me it is a hair too firm on my side.  The firm side is VERY firm so you will definitely need to be a firm lover and perhaps a back and stomach sleeper to enjoy it the most.

Softness-Firmness level: 6.5
1 Very Soft
5 Medium
10 Very Firm

Temperature:

This mattress is designed to help promote comfort while you sleep, and that extends to temperature regulation as well. The plank mattress utilizes special open cells that are designed to help increase air flow and draw heat away from your body while you sleep, thereby promoting a cooler and more comfortable night of rest.

The cooling fabric is cool to the touch.  Being that it is firm you do not sink super far into the mattress foams, therefore creating a cooler sleeping mattress.
