Titan Plus Mattress Review for 2024, Expert Tested

When we test for pressure relief, we use a combination of a pressure map and also evaluate whether we actually feel any pressure buildup. We put the pressure map on top of the mattress and then we lie on it. Blues and greens mean little to no pressure whereas reds and yellow mean there’s pressure buildup. 

Spencer’s pressure maps were basically perfect; just blues and greens all around. While I felt like the pressure relief was a 3 out of 5, Loren felt as if it was a 4 out of 5, adding, “I felt great on my back and a bit of pressure in my shoulder.”

With this in mind, we gave it a 4 out of 5. The only reason it didn’t get a 5 is because I think average-weight sleepers might not like it as much for this.

Is the Titan Plus Mattress Good for Pain Relief? 

In general, I think the Titan Plus should be good for pain relief for plus-size sleepers, which is good considering that’s the target demographic for this bed. 

Plus-size sleepers have unique needs and, therefore, need a highly supportive bed to accommodate them. The Titan Plus caters to heavier sleepers with its durable innerspring unit that consists of 961 coils. This system is made to provide industrial support, with Patrick noting, “Those coils are extra strong.”

The company has also placed an additional layer of high-density foam below those coils to complement the springs and add overall durability to the bed.

We test support by seeing how lifted our heaviest areas are in different sleeping positions, and for the Titan Plus, we wanted to make sure it was supportive enough for heavyweight sleepers, in particular. What we found was great lifting and full-body support, no matter your body size, which earned the Titan Plus a perfect 5 out of 5.

This category is usually most valuable to couples. The better a bed is at isolating movement, the less likely you’ll feel their shifting on your side of the bed.

We test motion isolation using a seismograph app, which is meant to pick up any motion distance while one of us moves around on the bed. We also see how much we feel when another tester moves around, and we incorporate this into our score as well. 

The Titan Plus had surprisingly great motion isolation. You barely feel anything from the other person tossing and turning. While there is some motion transferring, as you can see by our seismograph reading, there’s nothing we’d consider significant.

If you can’t sleep because your mattress feels like Arizona in July, then cooling features are paramount. This is understandably important for lots of consumers, which is why we prioritize it in our testing. While we consider how the beds actually feels to us, we also use a heat gun to gauge temperature changes on the mattress. First, we take an initial temperature reading, followed by two more after lying on it for five minutes and then at 10 minutes.

This is the first mattress we’ve tested where the temperature goes down during the temperature test—a great sign. As you can see in our temperature readings, the bed started at 70.7 degrees Fahrenheit, went up to 79.8 degrees after five minutes, and then back down to 76.6 degrees after 10 minutes. Considering it gets cooler the longer you lie on it and it didn’t even feel warm from my body heat when I got up and laid back down, the Titan Plus earned a 5 out of 5.

Buoyant mattresses that are quick to respond to movement are helpful because they can make it easier to adjust positions. This is often most helpful for sexually active couples, combination sleepers, and anyone with limited mobility.

We test this by jumping on the bed, as well as dropping a lacrosse ball and weighted medicine ball on it. The Titan Plus isn’t the bounciest mattress we’ve ever tested, but it’s still got a significant amount of bounce for combo sleepers. Not a trampoline but more of a bouncy castle.

A bed with strong edges means you can comfortably spread out when you sleep (ideal for couples) and not sink when you sit there. To test this, we sit on the edge for a minute tying our shoes. We then lie on the edge for another minute. Good edge support means we won’t feel like we’ll slip, slide, or fall off the bed. 

So what did we find? I was securely held at the edge during the sitting test and comfortable at the very edge, which earned it a 4 out of 5 here.

Our accessibility score looks at whether the bed goes above and beyond. Does it have a specialized design that can actually deliver results? 

In the case of the Titan Plus, it’s a bed made for heavier people, and based on our testing, it goes above and beyond in its performance, delivering high marks in every testing category. This is backed up by industry-standard trial and warranty deals that come with the bed. 

The Titan Plus didn’t get a perfect 5 out of 5 only because you do have to pay extra for the specialized cooling cover.

Understandably, customer service is important for many online shoppers. You want to know if the brand you’re buying from is a reliable one. 

You can contact Brooklyn Bedding, the makers behind the Titan Plus, via a chat box on the website or by submitting a request. However, the chat box isn’t available 24/7, and I couldn’t easily locate a phone number to talk with anyone over the phone. Plus, there’s a $99 return fee, even if you return it within the trial period. These knocked the score here down a few points, but Brooklyn Bedding does get points for their lengthy trial and warranty, as well as being an established American brand.

We score a mattress’s compatibility for couples based on how it does in other performance categories that are especially helpful for couples, including support, cooling, edge support, bounce, and motion isolation. We also look at its overall firmness and weight capacity. A bed should have a versatile feel and a high enough weight capacity to comfortably support two people.

Considering how well this bed did in each of these categories, it’s slightly firm feel, and higher weight capacity, we think this is going to be a fantastic match for plus-size couples. This got the Titan Plus a 5 out of 5 here!

Preference-Based Features

Optional GlacioTex™ Cover

If you’re a hot sleeper, you may want to add the GlacioTex™ cooling cover for an additional fee. The cover is cool-to-the-touch, so it should help hot sleepers find more even comfort by providing a cooler sleep surface. According to Brooklyn Bedding, it’s designed to maintain skin temperature at 88 degrees.

Adjustable Base Compatible

The Titan mattress can be used with an adjustable bed frame. If you’re interested in purchasing one, Titan sells adjustable bases on their website or you can browse our review of the best adjustable bed frames.

Handcrafted in the USA

Unboxing & Off-Gassing

The Titan Plus comes compressed in a box, making it easy to carry though your home. However, keep in mind that the reinforced coils are heavy, and you may need some help carrying and installing the mattress. The bed weighs anywhere from 75 to 135 pounds, depending on the size you choose, and that’s minus the weight of the package itself. In most cases, it takes up to 24 hours for the mattress to decompress and reach its full size.

Like most other bed-in-a-box models, the Titan Plus mattress has some off-gassing which you may notice when you first remove its package. However, any off-gassing odors should dissipate by the time the mattress decompresses.
