About Bear mattresses

Bear mattress comfort

Both models from Bear serve up a comfortable night’s sleep, but they offer different benefits. Graphite gel and a Celliant cover in the Bear Mattress combine powers to keep users cool. The Hybrid mattress has five layers that together provide stability and comfort. A Celliant cover also keeps this model cool. The coil system in the hybrid provides support, including near the edges of the mattress.

  • Firmness: Both the Bear Mattress and Bear Hybrid are medium firm. This firmness level is ideal for back sleepers.
  • Sleeping position: Both mattresses offer good or very good support for back sleepers. Side sleepers on the Bear Mattress also get good support. Stomach sleepers on the Bear Hybrid might have more issues sleeping comfortably. Side sleepers on the hybrid and stomach sleepers on the Bear will have average comfort.
  • Motion transfer: The Bear Mattress is excellent at absorbing motion. The Bear Hybrid isn’t quite as good but still absorbs motion very well.
  • Edge support: Neither mattress offered by Bear has excellent edge support. The Bear Hybrid mattress has the better edge support of the two, however.
  • Sleeping hot: Cool graphite gel in the Bear Mattress helps keep sleepers from getting too warm during the night. The Hybrid mattress is even cooler since the innersprings trap less heat. Each Bear mattress cover has Celliant technology to keep sleepers cool.

Bear mattress prices

The pricing on Bear mattresses is straightforward. The original Bear mattress is the more affordable option and the Bear Hybrid costs more. Each is available in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King sizes. Pricing is competitive when compared to similar models and brands.

Twin$440$990

Are Bear mattresses good?

Bear mattresses are good, particularly for those who like all-foam or hybrid mattresses. Bear mattresses are affordably priced, especially when compared to mattresses of similar quality. Back sleepers who enjoy medium firm mattresses will be the biggest fans of Bear mattresses, but they can work well for anyone.

    Polypropylene chemical wreaking mattress. Paid $1900 and had it in my apartment for about an hour. While putting the mattress protector on the bottom of it ripped. The smell continued to linger and I could feel the moist foam poking out of the bottom. Very cheap and I wouldn’t pay even $200 for something made of cheap springs and furniture foam. I wish I could say what it felt like to sleep on but I never got a chance to experience that as it fell apart before I could set it up. Definitely not organic and all natural like they say as the chemical smell gave me a headache. The spring cut my hand when I was moving and I’ve moved close to 10 mattresses in my life whether it’s for moving or disposal and this couldn’t have been worse.

    Updated review: April 24, 2025

    This is an update on a past review I had written for this company. At the time, the delivery was markedly delayed. It turned out to be a delay on the part of FedEx, after all, and was not the mattress company. The mattress company, however, took some responsibility and actually refunded $50 of the cost of the mattress. I found this to be a lot of effort on the part of Bear Mattress to ensure that my purchase met expectations. The mattress is excellent, and now I'm quite satisfied with their customer service.

    Original Review: March 11, 2025

    I ordered the Bear mattress because of a review in a reputable e-magazine, and because it stated Made in America. A firm mattress that was surprisingly very firm, but that was somewhat expected. Construction seems good. Made in America might be mostly true. Delivery was a big problem. First, received a message that the mattress would be delivered on a Saturday, then that was changed to Monday. I thought that was OK. The notice gave me a window of delivery from 8:45-10:45AM. I waited at home until 11:30AM because the notice also stated that I would have to go to FedEx to pick it up if I wasn't home when they delivered.

    I then asked a part-time staff person to sit at my home until it was delivered. The mattress was delivered at about 2:30PM. I complained to customer service and they basically said 1-Time of delivery is not guaranteed, 2-It's not our fault, 3-If you want to go through the process of returning the mattress that's your business. It was one of the most uncaring "customer service" responses I've ever experienced. I rarely complain, probably 3 times in my life, but this was simply irritating. The unsympathetic response is why I wrote this review. Multiple automated emails with nice statements, but once the automated, AI stuff is done, this company makes it clear that you as a customer are just another buck.

      Reviewed March 7, 2025

      My wife and I chose Bear Mattress over other brands mainly because of the made in America claim. The process of ordering was fine and when we finally got the mattress, two pillows, sheets and the mattress cover (which was fairly quickly), we were very disappointed to see that the "accessories" were not only 100% polyester but made in China!

      This was very misleading and is false advertising. The label on the bed stated that the bed is made from domestic and imported parts. Granted it was "assembled" in America, but how much of it was made in America will probably be very disappointing if I could ever find out. So far the bed is nice, but the hundreds of dollars we spent on it versus another brand and it not being fully an American product has me very upset. I will not recommend this company to anyone.

      We have a 5 year old Bear mattress and loved it. Ordered another one and received an abomination! False advertising. The original bear mattress that is nowhere near the same. Quality of material is cheap and mattress is rock hard, not original Mattress. Complete downgraded rip off.

      I've owned a Bear mattress for about 4 years now. Since then, the quality of the mattress has declined significantly in all facets. This includes the cover falling apart where the threading has loosened and holes form (on the sides and bottom) even with minimal adjusting/movement, mattress sags in the middle/sides and doesn't return back to its original shape, etc.

      My biggest gripe was the customer service aspect of it. I texted, emailed, and called over a year and a half span after reporting the issues with my mattress. Somewhere around the six month time frame, they finally got back to me and said they'd send me a cover and ignored the other issues I had with the mattress. It's going on two years now, I've texted/emailed them back a good four times and they keep saying that the cover was lost in the mail and they'd ship another one but nothing ever came. I gave up and am just going to toss the mattress and look at other options that are more improved than what Bear is providing. Once you buy with them, you are no longer a priority or a concern unless you're buying something else from Bear. I'd pass buying with them when there are other better options out there who provide a warranty/customer service they stand behind.

      After we purchased a mattress, we found out the hard way, that the only ways to exchange a mattress is to purchase a new one and get reimbursed or to let them pick up the old mattress and wait for a refund, then order all over again, meaning upwards of 3 weeks without a bed.

      My husband and I are very different sizes, so decided to try a "split king" mattress which is actually two twin XL. He loved his, and mine was a bit too firm for me. I tried it out for 90 days, and it just didnt work. I do love the Celliant fibers though. You think this is a gimmick, but it truly does make my muscles feel all tingly and I swear helps recovery after a workout. The return process was a dream and the person (yep - a real person answered my call) I dealt with was lovely and easy.

      So I bought this thinking I would get a better mattress since I was paying so much more for it. I slept ok for the first few weeks. After about 99 nights it became evident that my back pain was increasing. I had 100 nights warranty. Since then I sleep on my couch because it's just way more comfy. I will buy an Ashley hybrid next time for half what I paid... $1000 is what Bear mattress stole from me.

      Softness is the main thing when looking for a mattress, if I get this from a mattress I will surely buy it because I've had sleeping disorders over the past years and it is because I was laying in a mattress made of stone I guess. The Bear mattress has given me the comfort I need while sleeping and I haven't experienced any sleeping disorder in the past and it has been the brand I've been using for a long time. But I would improve the material that's been used along the years to make a mattress. Nevertheless it is not an urgent matter to me but it is surely something I wish mattresses companies improve.

      At the time when my girlfriend and I tried it out, it seemed very comfortable. Also it was on sale and fit my needs and my girlfriend at the time liked it. It's very form fitting and quite soft and comfortable. But it took a while to get used to it because it was a bit too soft for my liking. Also, it's getting a bit old and we could use a new one. But it has always been able to help me and my lover get a good night's sleep.
