The EcoSleep Luxe is a latex hybrid mattress made by EcoSleep, a branch of Brooklyn Bedding dedicated to making mattresses with sustainable materials. The Luxe features a thick support core with latex and wool comfort layers, providing a robust yet gently conforming design.
Customers interested in sustainable and safe materials are likely to be impressed by the Luxe’s design. The mattress carries GREENGUARD Gold certification and is made from natural latex, with a cover composed of cotton that has Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification.
The EcoSleep Luxe offers good support and comfort for a wide range of sleepers regardless of their weight or preferred sleep position. However, it is more suitable for some people than others. To help you decide whether it’s right for you, we’ll walk you through what we’ve learned about this mattress through rigorous testing and in-depth research. If you’re looking for a similar hybrid model with fewer luxury touches and a lower price range, you may prefer the EcoSleep Mattress.
Watch the video below to see how the EcoSleep Luxe Mattress performed when put to the test in our lab.
Sleeping Style and Body Weight
A bed’s firmness affects its suitability for different body weights and sleep positions. With a medium firm (6) feel and an even balance of support and responsiveness, the EcoSleep Luxe is appealing for a wide range of sleepers. That said, the Luxe is still better for some people than others.
Side Sleepers
People who sleep on their side require a careful balance of support and pressure relief due to the position’s stress on potential pressure points. The EcoSleep Luxe provides the right combination for side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. Side sleepers who weigh below 130 pounds may find the mattress too firm to relieve pressure, while those above 230 pounds may find the bed doesn’t have enough support.
Back Sleepers
People who sleep on their back require excellent support and enough pressure relief to allow for a neutral position through the spine. The EcoSleep Luxe checks off both these boxes, providing superior performance for back sleepers up to 230 pounds. The latex offers the necessary pressure relief without loss of support, while the pocketed coils conform to the back’s natural curve better than innerspring coils.
Those who weigh above 230 pounds may prefer a bed with firmer support.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers need a great deal of support to avoid putting stress on the spine, while still requiring pressure relief to prevent tension through the shoulders. Latex does provide the former, but it’s less effective for the latter. With this in mind, the bed is an excellent fit for stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. It offers plenty of support with just enough pressure relief to prevent discomfort in joints. Those over 130 pounds might fare better with a more supportive mattress.

The EcoSleep Luxe offers average motion isolation, so light sleepers may notice when their partner moves or gets out of bed. While latex and pocketed coils provide reasonably good motion isolation compared to innerspring mattresses, they lack the dramatic isolation offered by synthetic foams.
The wool layers offer moderate cushioning, which allows the surface to compress directly beneath weight without pulling at the rest of the sleep surface. However, you’ll still notice a certain amount of motion transfer overall.
The EcoSleep Luxe has a balanced feel and provides average pressure relief, though sleepers who experience severe pressure points may prefer a mattress with foam layers.
Latex is a popular choice for people who want pressure relief without feeling as though they’re sinking into their mattress. Pocketed coils also perform well in this category, thanks to their ability to adapt individually to body curves. While the bed doesn’t offer the cloud-like pressure relief of memory foam, it should help prevent pressure points and reduce next-day aches and pains.
The EcoSleep Luxe excels at cooling, due in large part to the natural breathability of latex and wool. This complements the strong airflow through the pocketed coils. The mattress also has a breathable, moisture-wicking cover made from organic cotton. Unlike foam beds that closely hug the body, this mattress does not contour closely enough to affect airflow or heat retention.
The EcoSleep Luxe’s pocketed coil support core provides edge stability, and the latex layer is less likely to collapse near the edges than memory foam. The surface gently conforms but is fairly responsive, earning very good ratings in this category.
Edge support tends to be more important for couples than single sleepers, since beds with good edge support offer better motion isolation and allow sleepers to use the full sleep surface. This can also be an important category for people who need edge stability due to mobility considerations.
The less a mattress contours against your body, the easier it is to move on it. Given that the EcoSleep Luxe conforms lightly around the sleeper’s body, it performs very well in this category.
Latex is also relatively bouncy, particularly when compared to memory foam, which adds to the overall ease of movement. Most people should find it comfortable to move on this bed, including rolling over and changing positions.
Although the EcoSleep Luxe does have an initial “new mattress smell,” this dissipates quickly once the mattress is unboxed and is entirely gone within a matter of hours. However, people who are very sensitive to smells may prefer to let their mattress air out for a day before sleeping on it. Since the Luxe uses entirely natural materials, it releases far fewer volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) than beds made with synthetic foams.
The EcoSleep Luxe is a latex hybrid mattress with an 11-inch profile. The comfort system is composed of wool, cashmere, and latex layers over pocketed coils. The latex is naturally cool and bouncier than foam while still offering moderate pressure relief, resulting in a balanced mattress that provides excellent support for a wide range of sleepers.
The Luxe’s cover is made from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, which is soft and breathable. This is followed by a layer of organic wool batting and another layer that combines wool and cashmere. Both these layers are breathable and moisture-wicking, which is part of why the Luxe has excellent temperature regulation. The comfort system consists of two layers of natural Talalay latex, one denser than the other to prevent excessive sinkage.
Most of the Luxe’s support core is composed of pocketed steel coils. At 8 inches thick, this core is robust enough to support sleepers across many weights. The pocketed coils also compress individually, allowing for better pressure relief and motion isolation than a traditional innerspring design. Finally, a thin layer of wool provides a shock-absorbing base for the pocketed coils.

Mattress Prices and Sizing
While far from a budget mattress, the EcoSleep Luxe does cost less than many of its latex hybrid competitors. Given that it offers some luxury touches, such as wool and cashmere layers and an organic cotton cover, the EcoSleep Luxe’s price range is considerably lower than average.
The EcoSleep Luxe is available in six standard mattress sizes. All of the mattress sizes are heavier than most beds due to the weight of both the latex and the pocketed coil core.
Trial, Warranty, and Shipping Policies
Availability The EcoSleep Luxe is only available online through the official EcoSleep website, as EcoSleep does not operate brick and mortar stores or sell through third-party retailers. Shipping is available for customers in the U.S. and Canada.
Shipping Shipping is free within the contiguous U.S., while customers in Hawaii and Alaska must pay a shipping fee that begins at $125 per mattress.
Shipping in the U.S. is done through FedEx or UPS. Mattresses for customers in Canada are shipped through FedEx International, with fees that start at $250 per mattress. These fees are non-refundable even if you return your mattress through the trial program.
Mattresses are compressed and sealed in plastic for shipment. The mattress must be taken out of the box and allowed to decompress for three to five hours before use. It should achieve its final size and shape after 24 hours.
EcoSleep’s mattresses are custom-made after ordering, with an average production time of ten to fourteen business days. They are manufactured in and shipped from Phoenix, Arizona.
Customers in the contiguous U.S. should receive their mattress three to five days after it is shipped.
Additional Services EcoSleep does not offer White Glove or old mattress removal services. As the EcoSleep Luxe Hybrid is relatively heavy, you should have someone to help you move and unpack your new mattress.
Sleep Trial EcoSleep offers a 120-night sleep trial for its mattresses. The trial begins on the day the mattress is delivered, but returns are only available after thirty days, which gives customers time to break in their new bed.
Should you choose to return the mattress, EcoSleep will likely have you donate it locally. There are no shipping or restocking costs.
If your mattress is uncomfortable but otherwise satisfactory, EcoSleep will supply a free foam mattress topper that improves pressure relief. The mattress can still be returned throughout the sleep trial if you receive a mattress topper.
Warranty Brooklyn Bedding backs the EcoSleep Luxe Hybrid with a 10-year limited warranty. The warranty covers lingering impressions that are deeper than 1 inch, sagging despite proper support, and material defects such as cracking or splitting. If these problems develop within the warranty period, Brooklyn Bedding will repair or replace your mattress. However, the warranty cannot be transferred if you sell or give away the mattress.
