Frequently Asked Questions

What discount do you offer teachers/educators?

Brooklyn Bedding offers an everyday discount to all eligible teachers/educators—applicable to all purchases, both online and in-store. Other promotions may apply during holiday periods

Who is eligible?

Brooklyn Bedding has partnered with ID.me, an advanced digital identity company that provides an online credential for students, educators, active military, first responders, and medical providers to access exclusive offers and benefits.

The ID.me eligibility definition for teachers can be found here

How is my discount applied?

You can shop BrooklynBedding.com or any of our Brooklyn Bedding stores, select your products, then verify your eligibility during the shopping process using the ID.me button on the checkout page. Once your eligibility is confirmed, the discount will automatically apply to your entire shopping cart.

How do I verify my status to receive my discount?

You can load all of your product selections to your shopping cart, then simply click the ID.me button on the checkout page.

To use the “confirm your enrollment” option.

Select “upload documentation,” and upload acceptable documentation showing your status.

NOTE: If your verification is unsuccessful, you may be prompted to try another verification method. You will also receive an email describing why verification was unsuccessful, with guidelines for next steps.

What kind of documents do I upload if asked?

To be valid, all documents must clearly indicate your full name, your occupational title, and show employment for the current school year.

  • Classroom Teachers can use: a state-issued educator certification, a teacher ID card, or a verification letter from a school administrator (on official letterhead, signed by an administrator).
  • Principals & Assistant Principals can use: a state-issued educator certification, a school staff ID card, or a verification letter from a school administrator (on official letterhead, signed by an administrator).
  • School Employees can use: a state-issued educator certification, a school staff ID card, or a verification letter from a school administrator (on official letterhead, signed by an administrator).
  • College/University Professors can use: a teacher ID card, or a verification letter from a school administrator (on official letterhead, signed by an administrator).

NOTE: If your name has recently changed, and the name you submit does not match the name in your document, please provide one of the above documents and a document that shows your name change (for example, a marriage certificate or legal name change document). Combine both documents into one file for upload.

How long does it take to verify my status?

It depends on the verification option you choose. Sometimes, you will be verified in just a few minutes; if a manual review of your document is needed, it may take longer.

Once ID.me has reviewed your documentation, you will receive an email indicating whether or not your status was verified, and guidance for next steps if verification was unsuccessful.

I'm unable to type my school into the box or select it from the dropdown. What should I do?

If you’re unable to type your school into the box or if your school isn’t on the drop-down list then you are not eligible for the offer at this time. To make sure you’re not missing your school, please type out the full name. For example, rather than UA, type University of Arizona.

What happens if I can't prove I'm an educator?

This is extremely rare. Eligible academic institutions provide multiple forms of documentation that we can accept, but in the event you cannot provide proof of eligibility, we will be unable to approve you for the offer. But to repeat, if you're currently employed by an eligible school or school district, you should have access to a document we can verify.

Is my information secure?

ID.me protects all sensitive data with stronger encryption than many financial institutions. Additionally, they are one of only three companies certified by the U.S. Government to enable citizens to access sensitive information from federal agencies. Please view their FICAM Certification StatusKantara Trust Status, and our Privacy Policy for more information.

Data security is their number one priority. They do not share information with third parties without their members' explicit permission. You decide whether or not you wish to release that information or to keep it private on a case-by-case basis.

If you have any specific questions regarding the security and/or privacy of your information, please contact the ID.me Member Support team and they will be happy to discuss your concerns.

I have verification questions that aren't covered here. Can you help me?

Yes, you can contact ID.me Support here

Is my discount available in Brooklyn Bedding stores as well as online?

Yes, the ID.Me discount and any other related special promotions are applied at checkout when shopping in our showrooms. For security and privacy reasons, Brooklyn Bedding stores can only verify identification documents in person at an authorized retail store. You may present your credentials at the time of purchase, or work with an in-store associate to digitally verify your eligibility using ID.me.

Can I combine the ID.Me discount with any other offer?

The ID.Me discount cannot be combined with any other promotional codes and cannot be applied to gift card purchases.
