Models

The Cypress is available in four variations: 11″ and 13″ all-foam models and 11″ and 13″ hybrids; each is available in 6 standard sizes. So, the Cypress is a flexible choice for many home and apartments.

No matter the variation, each layer serves a function, meaning you don’t pay for any unnecessary materials.

11” All Foam

This Classic base model is constructed of two distinct layers. The top layer is made of body-hugging, heat and moisture-wicking charcoal-infused gel memory foam. So, this layer is all about reducing heat, fighting night sweats, and alleviating pressure points.

The base foam layer is comprised of firmer contour-cut foam. That makes this layer great for providing some stability and firmness. Further, the contour-shaped top allows for a little extra breathability, making this all-foam mattress a little cooler than other all-foam competitors.

13” All Foam

Want a little extra softness? A Luxe Cypress might be to your liking. The 13” all-foam option is built similarly to its 11” counterpart, except it has twice the charcoal gel memory foam on top of the same base foam layer. Those who need extra give and added pressure relief to their beds will likely enjoy this Luxe upgrade.

11” Hybrid

This Classic hybrid brings a little extra firmness and breathability to the game. Like the all-foam option, this hybrid starts off with a charcoal gel memory foam top layer. Unlike its foam counterpart, however, its second layer is comprised of individually wrapped steel coils. Now, these coils are perfect for creating stability and allowing greater airflow.

Plus, the coils are distributed into five optimized zones. Three of these zones are perfect for cradling the back, hips, and shoulders. The other two layers reinforce the perimeters, meaning you get added edge support in this model. So, if you like sitting along the edge of your bed, the hybrid option might be for you.

13” Hybrid

Firmer than the 13” all-foam option but softer than the 11” hybrid, this Luxe model also has twice the charcoal-infused foam as its 11” counterpart. Heavier individuals, side sleepers, and couples should enjoy the extra sink and reduced motion transfer of this Cypress version. You can find similarly priced options on our list of best mattresses under $1000.

How Much Does the Cypress Cost?

Brentwood Home isn’t the cheapest option on the market, but it is one of the best values in the industry. The Cypress is available at 6 standard sizes at the following price points:

Safety & Materials

Certifications

Checking the label is one of the best ways to ensure you’re getting safe and natural materials. Fortunately, the Cypress sports plenty, true to their California ethos. Their certifications are:

• CertiPUR-US: Set by a not-for-profit organization, this certification applies to foams only. Foams receiving this certifications are made without harmful substances like mercury, lead, or formaldehyde.
• Greenguard Gold: Greenguard is an industry gold standard in safety, and Gold is their highest rating. Part of UL Environment, this certification signifies that products have low emissions of harmful chemicals.
• Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX: This widely trusted labels signifies that a product has undergone rigorous independent-party testing for harmful substances.

Materials

Brentwood Home prides itself on offering natural, non-toxic, healthy materials. Their mattresses are all made in the USA by craftsmen in their California factory.

 That’s why Cypress mattresses include the following materials:

• Charcoal-infused memory foam: Memory foam is well-known for being a comfortable, body-hugging material. It’s also well-known for trapping heat easily. That’s where the added charcoal comes in handy. This material can effectively wick away heat, meaning you stay cooler on this bed than a traditional all-foam one. This material is CertiPUR-US certified. The added memory foam layers in both Luxe models provides increased pressure relief.
• Contour-cut foam: Cypress all-foam beds include contour-cut foam, which increases stability and support. Like the memory foam, this contoured material is also CertiPUR-US certified.
• Individually wrapped coil springs: Those who opt for the hybrid option can expect a five-zone layer of tempered steel springs. These coils are rated OEKO-TEX Standard 100.
• Panel fabric: This material is comprised of 15% New Zealand wool, which is known for being soft, hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking, temperature-regulating, and flame resistant. This wool is rated Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX.
• Border fabric: This fabric is made of natural fire-retardant material.
• Cover: According to the official site, this cover is made with “99% polyester, 1% spandex.” Both materials are known for being soft and stretchy. However, neither is a natural fabric. In fact, polyester is incredibly environmentally unfriendly as it takes lots of petroleum to produce. Furthermore, it can take up to 200 years to degrade.

All in all, most materials in this model are fairly natural, particularly for this industry and price range. Potential buyers should just be aware that not all are, though.

Noise Control

As far as noise control goes, this model performs well. The all-foam option naturally performs better here than the coil-having hybrid. While the hybrid will produce some sound, though, it isn’t distracting.

Temperature Regulation

The inclusion of charcoal makes the memory foam in these beds cooler than most would expect, some people struggle with the naturally higher sleeping temperature of a memory foam mattress so this can help negate that issue.

The hybrid option, with its innerspring layer, is naturally airier than the all-foam units.

Sinkage

Sink refers to how much “give” a bed has when you press down on it. When it comes to mattress reviews this is a key factor. Now, the foam option naturally has more give than the hybrid one, and the 11” a little less than the 13”.

However, even the 13” all-foam variety is somewhat firm… just not too firm. For those who prefer a medium-like feel in their beds with great pressure point relief, these Cypress models can be great options to explore.

Motion Isolation

All Cypress units easily prevent motion transfer across the bed. That means that the 13” Luxe options are particularly great for couples who have a light sleeper.

Edge Support

A reinforced perimeter makes the bed feel a little sturdier, making it easier to sit along the edges or rest there without rolling off. The hybrid option’s five-zone coils reinforce its perimeters, enhancing edge support. Conversely, the all-foam options do not have this reinforced perimeter, meaning the edges will sag a little more than the hybrids.

Suits Most Sleeping Positions

Different sleeping positions require different levels of support from their mattresses. Fortunately, the versatility of the Cypress makes it suitable for most sleeping types.

Side Sleepers

Side sleepers often require softer sleeping surfaces than those who rest on their backs or stomachs. Why? Because less of their bodies touch their beds, meaning the pressure points that do rest on the mattresses naturally sink more.

Therefore, side resters will likely find the plusher Luxe and/or all-foam Cypress models to be more to their liking for increased support throughout their night’s sleep.

You can read our in-depth guide to learn even more about good beds for side sleepers.

Back Sleepers

Back sleepers often like firmer beds, as it keeps their spines better aligned (often meaning less aches and pains upon awakening). For these individuals, the firmer 11” models or hybrid units will likely suit their needs more.

Stomach Sleepers

Like prone resters, stomach sleepers need firmer sleeping surfaces; that makes the 11” and/or hybrid options better choices for supine slumbering.

It’s worth noting that the Cypress, no matter the variety chosen, tends to be a little firmer (although not too firm). So, those who like to sleep on ultra plush mattresses might not like this model.

Warranty, Trial Period, Shipping & Returns

Brentwood Home proudly claims to make all of its mattresses with its California ethos, a dedication to producing sleep-related products that help others lead healthier lives. To that end, this company offers several handmade bedding models, so everyone can find the perfect fit for their lifestyle.

Now, the memory foam Cypress mattress is one of their most popular options. So, just what’s the big deal with the Cypress, and why could this particular Brentwood Home model work for you?

Warranty

Brentwood Home mattresses all come with a 25-year warranty. While not the longest warranty, it’s still one of the best in the industry. Considering that each product is handmade, potential customers should rest assured that Brentwood Home mattresses will last as long as those of their competitors.

And, if something should need replacing per the warranty, they’ll be covered for a long time.

Individuals should know, though, that only mattresses purchased directly through the official site are eligible for this warranty. For more information, you can visit the official site by clicking here.

Trial Period

Shopping online for a bed might seem scary at first. After all, how in the world will you be able to decide if it’s the right fit for your body if you can’t even rest on it at a store?

To help you out, plenty of online retailers offer trial periods where you can test out a product from within the comfort of your own home—a much more reliable way to test out a mattress than a few minutes at a brick-and-mortar store.

So, how does this company perform in this regard?

When it comes to trial periods, Brentwood Home really is an industry leader: their mattresses come with a 1-year trial period. In other words, you have a full 365 nights to decide if the Cypress is the right choice for you.

That gives you plenty of time to adjust to your new bedding and see how well it performs during every season. When it comes to online shopping, it doesn’t get much more risk-free than this trial.

Shipping and Delivery

When can customers expect their new beds to arrive at their doorstep? Well, first every mattress must be handcrafted at the L.A. factory. This process usually takes 3 to 5 days, and the order will ship after that.

So, customers can expect their new mattress in a box about 7 to 10 business days after placing their order. Naturally, those who live closer to the L.A. factory will receive their orders sooner than others.

Those who opt in for white glove services (WGS) will have to wait a little longer, usually about 2 to 3 weeks. Brentwood Home’s WGS includes in-home delivery, which costs $199 per mattress, and old mattress removal, which costs $275 per bed.

Returns

So, you’ve tried out your new Cypress for at least 30 days and decided it wasn’t for you. What’s next? Contact Brentwood Home customer services to arrange a refund.

Your mattress can then be donated or recycled responsibly. So, even if this bed doesn’t work for you, you can rest easy knowing that it will be well taken care of after it leaves your living space.

Points to Consider Before You Buy

Do you want a 100% organic bed?

Brentwood Home proudly displays its commitment to “Affordable Natural Luxury” on its homepage. While this statement is mostly true, customers should know that not every single piece of the Cypress is 100% natural.

For instance, its cover is made of non-natural materials (spandex and polyester). While this cover is just a small part of the overall bed, it does prevent this mattress from being labeled 100% natural and eco-friendly.

Those looking for greener options should instead check out this company’s vegan Crystal Cove bed or the non-vegan Cedar Natural Luxe hybrid. In fact, the Crystal Cove is one of our top latex hybrid picks of 2020!

Your location

Not everyone can enjoy the Cypress; this company only ships to the lower 48 States. Additionally, those with P.O. boxes as well as APO and FPO addresses cannot expect to receive a Cypress mattress in a box.

Your mattress preferences

Many people love the support of a memory foam mattress. Not everyone does, though. If you’re one of those people, you likely won’t enjoy this mattress as both the all-foam and hybrid options use this material. 

Expect an initial unpleasant odor

Customers can expect some odors when first airing out their Cypress, as memory foam is well-known for initial unpleasant odors.
