About Bear Mattress

Picking a Bear by feel and build

The Original is Bear's medium-firm, all-foam starting point and suits back and stomach sleepers and guest rooms. The Original Hybrid and Pro Hybrid put that comfort layer over a pocketed coil unit for more bounce and a stronger edge, which is the construction we recommend to most combination sleepers; compare them with the rest of our hybrid mattresses. The Pro Foam is the pick for a side sleeper who wants the cradling of an all-foam memory foam mattress with a cooler cover than the Original.

The Elite Hybrid and Elite Ultra Hybrid are the models to try if you have been waking up sore. Both come in soft, medium and firm, pair a cooling-focused comfort layer with responsive coil support that promotes alignment, and belong on the same shortlist as our mattresses for back pain relief. The Natural Latex Hybrid swaps memory foam for latex, which is bouncier, sleeps cooler and keeps you more on top of the bed than in it.

The rest of the Bear range

  • Bear Cub Kid's Mattress: a supportive kids' build in Twin and Full with color options, made for a first big bed or a bunk room. See how it compares with our other kids' mattresses.
  • Bear Trek RV Mattress: cut to RV and camper sizes so you are not sleeping on the factory foam slab.
  • Bear Trundle Mattress: low-profile for pull-out trundle frames and daybeds.
  • Hot sleepers should look at the Pro and Elite lines first, and can compare them with our wider cooling mattress selection on the same visit.

Try it before you buy it

Bear is sold mostly online, so most people have never felt the difference between an Original and an Elite until the box arrives. We keep them on the floor at the Katy showroom and the Richmond showroom on FM 359, where you can lie on each for a few minutes and have a Sleep Coach check your spine alignment. Financing and local delivery are available on every Bear model, and we set it up rather than leaving it in a box at the door.

Questions, answered

Are Bear mattresses any good?
Bear is built around overnight recovery rather than comfort alone. Most of the range uses a Celliant cover that turns body heat into infrared energy, plus copper-infused memory foam to move heat away from you. The Elite Hybrid, Elite Ultra Hybrid and Cub are GREENGUARD Gold Certified and most models are made in Arizona. Every mattress carries our Limited Lifetime Warranty and 365-Night Comfort Guarantee.
What is the difference between the Bear Elite Hybrid and the Elite Ultra Hybrid?
The Elite Ultra includes as standard what the Elite Hybrid offers as an upgrade. Both come in soft, medium and firm. The Elite Hybrid is 14 inches with a hand-quilted PCM cooling cover and copper-infused memory foam, with the Celliant cover optional. The Elite Ultra is 13.5 inches with the Celliant infrared cover and CoolForce layer built in, microcoils in the comfort layers, and an 8-inch zoned coil core.
Which Bear mattress should I look at first?
Start with the Bear Original Hybrid, the 11-inch medium-firm bed that anchors the range, then move up from there. The Pro Hybrid is 13 inches and adds cooling gel memory foam; the Elite Hybrid is the one to choose if you want to pick soft, medium or firm; the Elite Ultra Hybrid is the most built-up model; and the Natural Latex Hybrid is the pick if you want natural materials.
Is a Bear mattress good for side sleepers?
Yes, but only some of the range. The Bear Pro Foam is the model fitted to side sleeping most often, the Elite Hybrid suits back and side sleepers, and the Elite Ultra Hybrid and Natural Latex Hybrid work across all positions. The Bear Original, Original Hybrid and Pro Hybrid are medium-firm and aimed at back sleepers. Choosing the soft comfort option on an Elite also opens it up for side sleeping.
How does Bear compare to Helix or WinkBed?
They solve the fit problem in three different ways. Bear sells one Elite Hybrid in three comfort levels, so you choose the feel rather than the model, and its angle is recovery and cooling. Helix, which we carry in its own collection, matches a different model to your sleep position. WinkBed builds a pocketed-coil bed with reinforced edges in separate firmness models. Lying on all three in one visit settles it quickly.
Where are Bear mattresses made?
In Arizona, for most of the range. The Elite Hybrid, Elite Ultra Hybrid, Pro Hybrid, Original Hybrid, Natural Latex Hybrid and Cub kids' mattress are all made in Arizona, USA. The Bear Original and Pro Foam are made in America using foreign and domestic components and assembled in the USA.
Can I try a Bear mattress near Houston?
Yes. We carry the Bear range at our Richmond, Katy and Rosenberg, TX showrooms, and we are open seven days a week. Call ahead if you want to be sure a specific model is on display. A Certified Sleep Science Coach can also run a ScanFit 3D body scan, which is the quickest way to tell whether the soft, medium or firm Elite is actually your fit rather than guessing from a review.
