Founded in 1995, Brooklyn Bedding began as a brick-and-mortar retailer before taking its products online. The Arizona-based company offers an assortment of mattresses, foundations, sheets, and pillows. Shoppers can view popular beds like the Dreamfoam Essential and the Signature Hybrid online, at one of Brooklyn Bedding’s Arizona showrooms, or at brick-and-mortar partner retailers.
Dreamfoam is a sister company of Brooklyn Bedding that specializes in hybrid and memory foam mattresses. Dreamfoam also makes sleep accessories like toppers and adjustable bases.
The Dreamfoam Copper Mattress is a memory foam hybrid designed to keep sleepers cool and comfortable. This mattress is sold exclusively online and features three comfort layers in addition to a pocketed coil core with reinforced edges. The 13-inch option has a medium (5) feel, while the 12-inch model has a firm (8) feel.
Other Dreamfoam models include the Essential, which is an all-foam mattress and Dreamfoam’s most affordable option. Dreamfoam’s Hybrid combines memory foam with a pocketed coil core. Like the Essential, the Hybrid has a below-average price tag and comes in both standard and custom sizes. The Dreamfoam Latex combines Talalay latex with a pocketed coil core and comes in two heights and three firmness levels.
We’ll break down the Dreamfoam Copper Dreams Mattress’ construction, features, and performance. We’ll also cover company policies and how the mattress suits different sleeper types so you can determine if it’s the right fit for your needs.
Dreamfoam’s Copper Dreams Mattress is available in two profiles, 12 and 13 inches. The 13-inch model has a slightly thinner comfort system and a medium (5) feel. The 12-inch version has a thicker layer of memory foam and a firm (8) feel.
The right thickness and feel for you depends on your body weight and sleep position. It’s also important to consider what contouring level you prefer when deciding between the two models.
- Choose Medium if… you have stiff muscles and sore joints or tend to develop sharp pressure points on firmer mattresses. The medium (5) feel relieves tension by evenly distributing weight and contouring the sleeper’s body. Side sleepers and people under 130 pounds may appreciate the medium model’s thicker memory foam layers.
- Choose Firm if… you enjoy a sturdier surface with minimal sinkage. The firm (8) feel is well suited to stomach and back sleepers who don’t need significant contouring to keep the spine in alignment. The model also offers a balance of cushioning and support for side sleepers over 130 pounds.

Side Sleepers
The Copper Dreams’ multi-layered comfort system should relieve pressure buildup for most side sleepers. Two memory foam layers pad pressure points on the shoulders and hips, while denser polyfoam helps the spine stay level.
With its deeper cradling, we found the medium feel was best suited to side sleepers under 230 pounds. The plusher surface provides more contouring, helping to ease tension on the knees, hips, and shoulders. The firm model’s thinner comfort system is better able to cushion side sleepers over 230 pounds while still keeping them on top of the mattress.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers should benefit from the Copper Dreams’ balance of contouring and support. The comfort system conforms to the shoulders and hips without letting the midsection sink excessively. Transitional foam and a steel coil core reinforce good spinal alignment.
Our testing team found the firm model to be an excellent choice for back sleepers above 130 pounds. Its light contouring keeps the spine level, helping to reduce strain on the lower back. Back sleepers under 130 pounds may find the firm model to be too firm and that medium model offers better contouring and support.
Stomach Sleepers
This sleep position is the most prone to spinal misalignment, especially when a mattress is too soft. The Copper Dreams’ responsive memory foam doesn’t overly conform to the stomach, which helps to keep the hips and shoulders on the same plane. During testing, the firm version was especially good at resisting sinking under the midsection.
We found the medium feel to be supportive enough for stomach sleepers under 230 pounds. Stomach sleepers over 130 pounds may sink too much on the medium model, increasing the risk of sleeping with an unnatural curve in the spine. The firm model performed well for stomach sleepers over 130 pounds, making it a better choice for sleepers in this weight category.

Dreamfoam Copper Dreams Mattress Review Breakdown
The Dreamfoam Copper Mattress is a four-layer hybrid available in two profiles. The 13-inch model has a medium (5) feel, while the 12-inch option rates as a firm (8) on our 10-point firmness scale. A breathable woven top is designed to keep the surface temperature neutral.
Both levels of firmness feature the same basic materials and construction. A top memory foam comfort layer evenly conforms to the body to relieve pressure buildup while graphite and copper infusions are engineered to draw heat away from sleepers. The firm model uses a slightly thinner layer of memory foam to create the firmer surface.
An additional layer of memory foam increases the mattress’ contouring capabilities. This layer is thicker on the firm model for additional support. Both versions include a 2-inch layer of transitional foam to help spread body weight evenly across the mattress. The denser polyfoam also buffers sleepers from the coil support core.
The Copper Dreams’ pocketed coil support core gives the mattress stability and slight bounce. Pocketed coils are designed to promote airflow while curbing motion transfer. Sturdier coils on the edge of the bed reinforce the perimeter for enhanced edge support.
