Original verdict: Ben found the older 13-inch Cypress Bamboo Gel a contouring memory-foam mattress with little motion transfer and very little bounce. He liked its pressure relief but noted weaker edge support. This describes the sample Brentwood Home sent for review.
Brentwood Home’s Cypress family has changed over time. This review preserves the original 13-inch medium-feel foam mattress and separates those findings from any later Cypress model.
Delivery and first impressions
Brentwood Home provided the mattress for Ben to review. He reported that it arrived compressed in a box within about a week and expanded to full size in roughly four hours. Delivery and expansion times for a current product may differ; follow the seller’s current instructions.
The 13-inch model Ben tested
The historical product information described the medium-feel 13-inch version with 3.5 inches of gel-infused memory foam and a 7.5-inch base foam layer, alongside other layers and the cover. The older 11-inch version was described as firmer. Later products carrying the Cypress name can have different layers and construction.
Feel, motion and edge support
Ben described the sample as a true memory-foam feel: gentle contouring, very little bounce and low motion transfer. While watching television on it, he noticed that he did not fidget as much as usual. He considered it a good match for side sleepers who enjoy foam’s close contouring.
His main reservation was edge support, which he found weaker than the central sleeping surface. If you regularly sit on the edge or need a very stable perimeter, test that feature carefully. Someone who prefers a lively innerspring feel may also find this older foam bed too slow or quiet.

Frequently asked questions
Was the reviewed Cypress a hybrid?
No. The original 13-inch sample was an all-foam mattress. Later Cypress products may use different construction.
Did it have strong edge support?
Ben found the original sample’s edge support comparatively weak, though he did not consider it a dealbreaker.
Do the original trial and price still apply?
Do not assume so. Verify current terms with the seller for the exact mattress and sales channel.
