YAWNDER MATTRESS COMPARISON
Disclosure: Yawnder sells both mattresses in this comparison. Prices, options and purchase terms may change.
Our Verdict
Choose the Nolah Natural if you want a latex-and-coil hybrid and prefer a responsive surface made with organic latex and an organic cotton cover. Choose the Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid if you want a foam-and-coil hybrid with a choice of Soft, Medium or Firm and an optional Cloud Pillow Top.
The decision starts with feel and materials: latex responds quickly to movement, while the Signature offers three different firmness builds. Try the specific version when possible, then compare the complete price and the seller’s return terms.

The Main Difference: Latex vs. Foam
Both beds have a coil support system, but their comfort materials differ. Nolah uses latex layers above zoned coils; Brooklyn uses foam comfort layers over individually encased coils. Latex tends to spring back quickly after pressure is removed. The Signature’s feel depends on the firmness and whether you add its pillow top.
Neither construction automatically wins on pressure relief or motion isolation. If you can try them, turn from your side to your back and notice how easily you move; have a partner change positions while you lie still.
Firmness and Sleeping Position
Nolah describes the Natural as medium, at 6 out of 10. Brooklyn offers Soft, Medium and Firm. Those descriptions are useful starting points, not standardized cross-brand measurements.
Side sleepers: If you need more cushioning at the shoulder and hip, compare Signature Soft with Nolah Natural. If either feels too firm after several minutes, try another surface or firmness.
Back sleepers: Nolah Natural and Signature Medium offer middle-ground starting points. Look for comfortable support under your lower back without excessive hip sink.
Stomach sleepers: Signature Firm gives you a firmer configuration to try. Your body weight and personal preference will determine whether it is comfortable.
Materials and Certifications
Nolah’s current Natural listing identifies an organic cotton cover, organic latex, a fire-retardant fiber blend and recycled-steel coils. Nolah also lists GREENGUARD Gold certification. Ask for the current certification and scope if that is a deciding factor: certification of a component does not automatically mean every part of the finished mattress is certified organic.
The Signature is a foam hybrid rather than a latex-focused design. For shoppers with a latex allergy, consult a healthcare professional before considering the Nolah; its cover alone does not establish that it is safe for everyone with a latex allergy.
Cooling, Height and Bedding
Both coil systems leave space for airflow, but comfort depends on the entire bed, including its cover, protector, sheets and room temperature. Brooklyn’s optional Cloud Pillow Top changes the surface and may add cost. Neither product is a powered cooling system, and this article does not claim a controlled head-to-head temperature test.
Nolah lists the Natural at 11 inches. Brooklyn’s product page lists 13.25 inches without the pillow top and 14 inches with it; its model guide lists approximately 12.25 inches. Confirm the version, firmness and pillow-top option with your seller before buying sheets or a frame.
Edge Support and Couples
Sit and lie near the edge of each mattress if you use the whole width or need a stable place to get in and out of bed. Coil count alone does not establish which edge will feel stronger. Couples should also check whether movement on one side disturbs the other and whether both partners can agree on the firmness.
Price, Trial and Returns
Compare the same size and include the Cloud Pillow Top if you want it. Check delivery, setup and removal charges and the final price after any promotion. A percentage discount does not tell you which configuration costs less at checkout.
Yawnder orders follow the applicable checkout terms and Yawnder return policy, including eligibility, break-in periods, fees and exclusions. Manufacturer-direct trials may differ. Check the actual warranty document for your purchase.
For eligible Yawnder mattress orders: The current policy lists a 100-night trial with a 30-night minimum and a $200 return processing fee per mattress. The fee is waived for an eligible exchange to another Yawnder mattress, with any price difference due; the replacement is final sale. Floor models and other exclusions apply. Review your order terms before purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Nolah Natural an all-latex mattress?
No. It combines latex comfort layers with a coil support system. For spring-free options, see our latex mattress guide.
Which is softer?
It depends on which Signature firmness and pillow-top configuration you select. Nolah describes the Natural as medium; compare the actual models rather than assuming that labels are identical across brands.
