Quick Comparison: Layla vs Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe

We Would Recommend Buying Layla if You are Looking for:

Motion isolation. This bed’s materials trap motion keeping you asleep and unaware of your partner’s nighttime bathroom breaks.
A foam feel. Foams, especially memory materials have a great rep for wiping away pressure points. This bed should not disappoint those folks looking for the deep hug that this material offers.
Firmness options at home. With dual firmness, you should be able to flip the bed over to find your perfect fit. If Medium-Soft is too soft for your sleeping preference, simply flip the bed over to the Firm side.

We Would Recommend Buying the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe if You are Looking for:

A cool sleeping experience. Brooklyn Bedding pulls out all of the stops for cooling in their Aurora Luxe, creating a bed that should keep you comfortable all night long, especially if you sleep hot.
Bounce. The individually pocketed coils provide a healthy amount of bounce that should make repositioning a breeze and bedroom activities a ball.
Specific firmness options. Customers can order this product in 1 of three firmness options: Soft, Medium, and Firm.

Comparing Firmness (Support & Feel)

Both of these beds offer multiple firmness options, but for sake of this comparison, this review will look at the Medium-Soft for Layla and the Medium for Aurora Luxe. Sleep Advisor’s firmness scale represents our mattress ratings on a scale from 1 to 10, with a 10 being like sleeping on a rock. The Medium-Soft Layla scores at a 4 while the Medium Aurora Luxe scores at a 5.

For combination sleepers, the Aurora Luxe is the more responsive of these two beds, so it may better suit your needs if you flip-flop at night. Its firmness might also better suite an assortment of sleeping positions as it is closer to the middle of our scale.

Both brands make a great choice for whatever sleeping position you prefer. For back sleepers, either option should contour to the small of your back, cushioning the areas between your hips and shoulders. Likewise, side sleepers can enjoy the pressure relief that both these beds provide for their shoulders and hips.

Some side sleepers might favor the Layla, but it is important to remember that Aurora Luxe comes in a Soft version as well. Either of these should work for higher pressure relief needs.

Getting the support you need in your hips can be difficult for stomach sleepers. If these medium feeling options are too soft for you, flip the Layla to its Firm side for more support, or if you are interested in the Aurora Luxe, the Firm might work better for you.

Comparing Sinkage and Bounce

The Aurora Luxe is going to have a lot of bounce that makes repositioning a snap. This is also a great bed if you are looking to spice up your sex life. As far as sinkage goes, sleepers can expect to rest in a shallow cradle.

Layla has pretty much zero bounce to it but the thicker support material provides a nice firm base that sleepers can push off of to facilitate repositioning. This bed provides a deep conforming hug that relieves pressure in those more curvy areas.

Comparing Motion Transfer

Considering the fact that foam materials do an excellent job at stopping motion, Layla scores high in this regard. If this bed were a goalie and motion is the ball, it is shutting out the other team night after night. So when it comes to you staying asleep when your partner gets back into bed, its lights out and goodnight — you should not feel a thing.

The Aurora Luxe is an extremely bouncy bed, but what may surprise some folks is that bounce does not always equate to surface movement. The pocket coils are designed to maintain motion at its source and this bed does just that. Some bounce is bound to make it across the bed, but the majority of sleepers are going to sleep right through the night.

Comparing Edge Support

Sleeping on the side of the bed can be annoying and uncomfortable, especially if it compresses and leaves you feeling like you might tumble off. Layla does not have any type of reinforcement along the edges but should do an above average job at keeping sleepers supported along the perimeter.

When it comes to compressed, boxed beds with reinforced edges, the Aurora Luxe uses some top-grade technology. This bed should keep you, your partner, and even a few fluffy friends comfortable, even if you end up along the edge.
