I contacted BB months ago asking about the difference and the person told me these are basically older stock, but they're all made with the same materials in the same place.
Not sure that person knew what they were talking about as others have mentioned likely differences.
I did end up buying the 12 inch standard though and it's nice. I will say, if you're on the heavier side (I'm ~200lbs), I'd go for the firmer 10 inch. I wish I had. This mattress does sink in after a few months.
I think from my research that's just natural settling in, but it made it less comfortable for me. The firmer one would be better for slightly heavier folks I'm betting.
Anyway, for $200 I would say this is a pretty dang good deal based on my experience with the standard.
I got my 10" firm a few days ago, but I'll preface this by saying that I'm no bed expert.
The mattress I HAD was a medium, and after 7-8 years it had become unbearable. A couple springs were poking up, and it was sinking in certain areas.
This firm is exactly what I needed (back/stomach sleeper).
It's a lot firmer than what I expected from a bed in a box. The top 1" layer of foam is soft, but the mattress has very little give overall. To me, it's a good compromise between my previous medium mattress and sleeping on a hardwood floor. I've seen it described as a 6-7/10 firmness - like I said, I'm not an expert, but I'd probably put it at a 7-8/10. I'm not sinking into it at all.
It inflates in about 10 seconds once fully unwrapped. No real off gassing or fumes to speak of, only a slight smell. It's one sided. I've seen people complain about the edges on similar models, but the edge support on the firm feel about as good as my prior spring mattress. It inflated to the full 10", if not slightly more.
I'm just now waking up on day 4 and I'm very comfortable lying here.
Obviously I can't speak for how well it will hold up, but I'm happy with my purchase for now.
FWIW, last years Amazon Basic Mattress was made by Brooklyn Bedding. We bought a few for our rental and they have held up great! Pricing, if I recall, were a tad cheaper than these.....this is prior to inflation!!!!!!!

Any fiberglass or voc emissions?
I saw a reddit post about affordable non toxic mattresses and they had BBedding arctic dreamfoam hybrid as the best option.Just ordered the queen for 559$.No flame retardants or fiberglass.That was the only model listed as good value for your money,taking into consideration foam density and the lack of chemicals.No other model was listed
Can these hybrid mattresses be used with adjustable bed frames? Can I use the 10" on it or does it have to be the softer ones?
Yes it can be used adjustable bed for sure..as long as it pocket coils, any bed can be used on adjustables. The few exceptions would be truly ultra firms like sterns & fosters estates ultra ($2k+)..it's their only model that cannot be, even their normal firm (no ultra firm) is ok with adjustables.
The only other thing to note is overall weight of mattress PLUS humans!

Standard 12":

Signature 12":

So the signature has 5 layers vs 3 on the standard. the 14" standard seems to have 4 layers (2" foam base layer).

get extra firm for the bottom two and medium for the top.
great support and will sleep cooler than anything.
these are the most expensive parts of premade beds, make it your entire bed for less.

I have old mattresses with box springs. Can these mattresses go on top of a box spring or does it need a foundation/base?
