Brentwood Home Coronado Mattress Review
If you’re in the market for a new mattress, the Brentwood Home Coronado could be a strong contender. Recently, I had the opportunity to test this mattress, which is part of Brentwood Home’s innovative 2016 lineup. With its medium-firm feel and impressive craftsmanship, the Coronado aims to deliver comfort along with durability. Let’s dive into a comprehensive review of the Brentwood Home Coronado mattress, examining everything from ordering and unboxing to its performance and unique features.
Ordering and Unboxing the Coronado Mattress
Purchasing the Brentwood Home Coronado mattress is a straightforward process. It can be ordered directly through the Brentwood Home website, and it typically arrives within a week. Shipping is free, and the mattress conveniently comes packaged in a box, making the delivery process hassle-free.
Once your mattress arrives, unboxing is a straightforward affair. It reveals the mattress neatly compressed inside the box, ready to be unfurled. Brentwood Home offers a generous 120-night sleep trial, so you can fully experience the mattress before making a final commitment. For those eager to see the unboxing in action, I’ve included a video that captures the process.
Specifications and Features
The Brentwood Home Coronado mattress boasts several layers, each crafted to enhance your sleep experience:
1. Top Layer: Made from Belgian stretch knit fabric, this layer not only looks elegant but also adds a plush, soft touch.
2. Wool Layer: Beneath the top layer is a New Zealand wool layer designed for temperature regulation, effectively managing heat and moisture for a more comfortable night’s sleep.
3. Memory Foam Layer: Next is a 3-inch gel-infused memory foam layer. This newer generation foam excels in providing pressure relief while also ensuring a cooler sleeping surface.
4. Ventilated Airflow Layer: A 2-inch ventilated airflow layer offers added breathability, allowing for greater airflow throughout the mattress.
5. Support Base: The foundation features a 6-inch therapeutic support base that enhances the overall stability and durability of the mattress.
Additionally, the Coronado mattress comes with stitched handles for easy rotation, ensuring that you can maintain its longevity with minimal effort.
Performance and Comfort
Upon testing, I found the Coronado mattress to be on the firmer side of the scale. In fact, a bowling ball placed on the mattress does not sink significantly, which points to its robust construction. This firmness makes the Coronado a particularly excellent option for stomach and back sleepers, as it minimizes the hammock effect often found in softer mattresses.
Unlike its sibling, the Sequoia, the Coronado has less bounce due to the absence of latex. To better illustrate this difference, I’ve included a video showcasing the motion transfer on the mattress. What’s impressive, though, is how quickly the mattress returns to its original shape thanks to the wool layer resting above the memory foam. This feature, however, means you won’t sink in as deeply as you might with more plush mattresses.
Temperature regulation is another essential aspect of a good mattress. Utilizing an infrared camera, I recorded heat retention while testing the Coronado. The wool layer effectively manages temperature, keeping it comfortable throughout the night, which is a significant plus for warmer environments.
Conclusion
In summary, the Brentwood Home Coronado mattress stands out as a reliable choice for those seeking a medium-firm option without the sinking feeling associated with traditional memory foam. The transition from the comfort layer to the base layer is slightly more distinct than some other mattresses I have tested, requiring a short break-in period for optimal comfort.
If you value a firmer sleeping surface that allows for easy movement while being built to last, the Coronado mattress is worth considering. Furthermore, don’t forget to check out the current promotions! You can receive $75 off the Sequoia mattress with coupon code sleepsherpa75 at checkout.
In essence, the Brentwood Home Coronado mattress effectively marries durability, comfort, and supportive features that are ideal for a variety of sleeping styles. Whether you’re a back, stomach, or side sleeper, its thoughtful design can cater to your needs while ensuring a cool and restful night’s sleep.

Sleepopolis found this mattress to be a 5 to 5.5, or a bit less firm than the Alexander Signature medium, which was judged closer to a 6 out of 10 (w/ 10 being the firmest). Your review tends to indicate that you found this to be a pretty darn firm mattress, particularly once sinking past the top comfort layer. Do you think this is as firm, or maybe more firm, than the Alexander Sig. medium?
Also, as a side (almost stomach) sleeper at 170 pounds, do you think this mattress would a bit too firm for typical tripper points such as hip bones and shoulders? I know this can be subjective and hard to judge from individual to individual, but I’d appreciate any feedback you can give. Thank you.
I think it is definitely firmer than the Alexander medium firm. The Alexander would be better suited to a pure side sleeper.
Since you’ve had the chance to evaluate both in person, which do you prefer – the Sequoia or Coronado? Having a difficult time deciding between the two as I can only research online :/
Based on videos and pictures I like the look of the Coronado better but like the idea of the latex in the Sequoia (never had a memory foam or latex mattress before, have slept on various pillow tops over the years, all on the softer end of the spectrum but suspect we need to go firmer now due to aches and pains). I have scoliosis and am a stomach sleeper trying to switch to back, while my husband is a back and side sleeper. We are each between 150-180 pounds. Any opinions comparing and contrasting the two models in your experience would be greatly appreciated!
I personally like the Sequioa a little better. They are both on the firmer end but the Sequoia bounces back faster due to the latex inside and is a little more breathable. It also has a more luxurious look to it. Both are very well made mattresses though.
Your reviews online and discussions in the forums are so great! I’m trying to decide on a Brentwood mattress from Costco. I wish I saw reviews on the Orinda mattress, it’s supposedly very firm (which is what I’m looking for) and is priced between the Sequia and the Coronado. I’m a little worried that it might be too firm since sometimes I sleep on my side too. It has some latex as well, which I like the idea of. Any input would be really appreciated, thank you!
I’ve noticed these will skew firmer so it may be a bit too firm. The Del Mar is a good medium firm mattress which is good for side sleepers that like a firmer mattress.
Which is firmer? Sequioa or Coronado?
I found the Sequoia to be slightly firmer than the Coronado.
Sequioa is definitely firmer. Even with a mattress topper!
Not for side sleeping.
Going back, one more time and trying the Coronado. CS person at Brentwood advised this model.
We have the Sequoia now and love the way it feels but my husband is having some shoulder and upper back pain sleeping on his side– he’s about 210-220lbs broad shoulders. Do you think the Coronado is better suited to side sleeping shoulder sinking or really not better for that? Thank you!
I recommend the Oceano from Brentwood Home
We currently have a Novaform Innocor comfort Seraphina Cool Gel mattress. It’s listed as a 5 for firmness and we have found it is a little too firm for us. I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to test the Novaform but would you know if the Coronado is more plush?
Thank you for any feedback.
I haven’t tried the Novaform yet. I think the Coronado wouldn’t be much softer though. If you want an all foam that will be softer, I would give the Layla some consideration. If you want a Brentwood Home mattress, the Oceano is very plush yet still supportive.
