Firmness

Whether a mattress feels firm or soft is relatively subjective. All beds should support body weight, promote healthy spinal alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping. Whether a mattress is fluffy and Plush (what mattress companies call soft ) or less so (what companies call firm) is purely defined based on personal preferences.

With a medium-profile mattress, the Bear Original sits at seven on the firmness scale of 10, indicating a firm feel. Bear Original Mattress gives enough firmness or back support. This is particularly great for Back sleepers.

Material & Construction

The Bear Original is a 10-inch tall all-foam mattress. It comes with proprietary Celliant Sleep Recovery Technology for improvising sleep and speeding up muscle relaxation. The mattresses constitute 2 inches of graphite-gel infused memory foam (to promote cooling) and a 2-inch poly foam layer, and 6 inches of dense polyfoam for support.

Let’s dig into the details of the constitution of the Mattress –

• Layer 1: Celliant Cover: The Mattress comes with a removable cover. Celliant cover is designed to wick body heat from the sleeper’s body and redirect it as infrared energy. The brand claims that this cover helps improve muscle relaxation. Besides, help sleep more deeply with temperature regulation.

Mattress Review and Rating

Repositioning

Repositioning means that sleepers can change position quickly. many people toss and frequently turn while sleeping.

The Bear Original is unlike other available foam models. The foam in Bear Original doesn’t conform and cradle the body much. Besides, it eliminates the feeling of floating on top of the Mattress like other beds. For these characteristics, Original makes it a bit easier to move around on the bed than on other memory foam mattresses. However, heavy people tend to sink deeper into the mattress, making it challenging to move around.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Generally, foam mattresses, particularly memory foam mattresses, tend to cradle the sleeper’s body, redistributing body weight. It can help relieve aches and soreness in the areas that exert the most force on the Mattress.

The Bear Original uses multiple layers of cooling, contouring, and comforting memory foam to increase the pressure-relieving properties that help you sleep better and recover faster. The brand goes beyond traditional foams and uses Graphite-gel infused foam in the comfort layer and responsive transition foam to keep sleepers’ bodies cool and spine aligned. Moreover, it uses brands Celliant® technology weave brands to promote cooling and recovery in the cover. Celliant is a unique fiber that utilizes organic minerals to redirect your body’s heat back as infrared light. This energy boosts blood circulation in the body for muscle recovery.

• Back Sleepers: People who sleep on their back tend to require more support — particularly around the hips, which may sink into softer mattresses and prevent proper spinal alignment. Sleepers sleeping on Bear Original mattress will get enough firmness or back support. It is mainly for the average weight & Heavy group. However, individuals on the lighter side may see some challenges with this firmer bed.
• Side sleepers: Side sleepers will greatly appreciate Bear Original. With the comfort and support layers, the Mattress will absorb the pressure and provide a comfortable night’s sleep.
  Lightweight and average-weight side sleepers will enjoy the feel softness of the bed.
• Stomach sleepers: Achieving good spinal alignment for stomach sleepers can often be trickier as the hips can tend to sink too far with some mattresses. Stability and support are crucial for “stomach sleepers” to not cause back or hip pain. Bear Original is suitable for lightweight stomach sleepers with a medium-firm configuration but may create challenges for heavy sleepers who may experience sinking in and make a spinal curvature.
• Combination Sleepers:  Bear pro is quite comfortable for the most lightweight and average-weight combination sleepers.

Cooling & Temperature Control

The Bear Original is intended to sleep more relaxedly than other foam mattresses. The open-cell structure of brands foams allows for better airflow and prevents overheating while one sleeps. Bear Original’s graphite gel memory foam disperses heat, helping you sleep cooler.

The Bear Original offers good thermal neutrality without overheating, unlike other foam mattresses. Fact is, Bear Originals though memory foam, do not provide as much conforming or the feeling of sinking into the Mattress as market available models.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

This category rates how well a mattress can prevent other sleepers in a bed from feeling when their sleep partner rolls over, shifts, or changes positions.

Memory foam mattresses provide a high degree of motion isolation by absorbing motion and spreading. Since Bear’s memory foam is firmer than its competitors, the responsiveness is higher, and motion isolation is lower. It means that light sleepers may notice their partner’s movements.

Edge Support

There is no separate Foam perimeter to the Bear mattresses, and the only support foam is a different layer of High-Density Foam. It means that the edge does not have a separate support system, making it easier to move in or out of bed. The problem magnifies significantly for sleepers with higher body weight, who will feel deeper sinkage.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Young or old, nobody is immune to back pain, whether chronic or temporary. It is essential to pay attention to where you put your head (and back, of course).

Let’s get a detailed idea about the Sleeping style

• Side Sleepers:  The USP of Bear mattresses is its support to people with active lifestyles. It means that the foam is comparatively more firm. So, side sleepers with light body weight may experience some pressure on their hips and shoulders. But this level of support should be good for people with heavier body weight.
• Back Sleepers: Bear mattress feels natural for people with over 150 pounds since it conforms appropriately to their body weight. The conforming is limited but comfortable for back sleepers with less weight than this. There is a good balance between conforming and supporting people with body weights between 150 and 250 pounds.
• Stomach Sleepers: For stomach sleepers of weight lower than 150 pounds, the support and stability of Bear are good. But for people with body weight above 250 pounds, the support to mid-section is often not enough. This might cause the Mattress to sag in between, and spinal alignment may be disturbed.
• Heavy Sleepers: Bear performs the best for people with higher body weight if you are a side or back sleeper. The Bear mattress might lead to some discomfort in the shoulders and hips in the morning for stomach sleepers.

Mattress Review and Rating

Repositioning

Repositioning means sleepers can change position quickly. many people toss and frequently turn while sleeping.

Moving on the Bear Hybrid mattress with a medium-firm feel is relatively easy compared to most hybrid models. Most sleepers don’t sink deep in the Mattress, so the sensation of being “Trapped in“the bed is not there. Knitted with Celliant’s Infrared Yarn Technology, the quilted, hand-tufted cover of the Bear Hybrid harnesses your body’s internal energy to promote recovery and overall well-being. Sleepers can switch positions easily as there is a bounce from the spring layer. Bear hybrids are pretty responsive.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Generally, foam mattresses, particularly memory foam mattresses, tend to cradle the sleeper’s body, redistributing body weight. It can help relieve aches and soreness in the Mattress areas that exert the most force.

Bear Hybrid’s Serene® Foam allows for up to 4x more pressure relief by better conforming to the body contour. What is more, there are two comfort layers, the second being a gel-infused polyfoam. It allows for better spreading of body weight and reduces pressure buildup. Thus, Bear hybrid offers a better balance of support and pressure relief while avoiding the “hug,” which some sleepers like to avoid. Unlike other Bear all-foam mattresses, the support layer of Hybrid is spring-based, which allows for more airflow. It keeps the temperature lower. Also, Bear’s exclusive Celliant technology and gel-infused polyfoam support this by soaking excess body heat.

• Back Sleepers: People sleeping on their back tend to require more support — particularly around the hips, which may sink into softer mattresses and prevent proper spinal alignment. Sleepers sleeping on Bear Hybrid mattress will get enough firmness or back support. It is mainly for the average weight & Heavy group. However, individuals on the lighter side may see some challenges with this med firm bed.
• Side sleepers:Side sleepers will greatly appreciate Bear hybrid. With the comfort and support layers, the Mattress will absorb the pressure and provide a comfortable night’s sleep.
  Lightweight and average-weight side sleepers will enjoy the feel softness of the bed.
• Stomach sleepers: Attaining good spinal alignment for stomach sleepers can often be trickier as the hips can tend to sink too far with some mattresses. Stability and support are crucial for “stomach sleepers” not to cause back or hip pain. Bear Hybrid is suitable for lightweight stomach sleepers with a medium-firm configuration but may create challenges for heavy sleepers who may experience sinking in and make a spinal curvature.
• Combination Sleepers:  Bear Hybrid is quite comfortable for majority lightweight and average weight combination sleepers.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Bear Hybrid ensures sleepers Sleep Cool and Breezy. Mattress with heat-conductive copper-infused comfort foam, layered with innerspring coils and Sleep Recovery Technology™ for a cool-to-the-touch sensation.

Folks who tend to run warm can stay cool throughout the night.

Excellent cooling with Bear Hybrid. The secret lies in natural Copper Foam combined with Feran Ice fabric creating a heat-dissipating, temperature-regulating system that promotes better airflow distribution.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

This category rates how well a mattress can prevent other sleepers in a bed from feeling when their sleep partner rolls over, shifts, or changes positions.

The trade-off for better temperature regulation and border support in Hybrid models is its lower motion isolation. The spring base gives a certain bounciness, leading to motion transfer. However, these are Marshall or pocketed coils and have a specific separation from other rings. So, the movement of your partner might be noticeable but will not hinder your sleep significantly.

Edge Support

Bear Hybrid provides better edge support than other Bear mattresses due to its coil base. However, this is still a bit low than other Hybrid models in the market, which was felt during some controlled experiments. It does not reduce the usable surface area of the Mattress considerably; even if there is, then it can be some loss over a 10-15 year horizon.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Young or old, nobody is immune to back pain, whether chronic or temporary. It is essential to pay attention to where you put your head (and back).

Let’s get a detailed idea about the Sleeping style

• Side Sleepers:  Bear Hybrid has enough balance between conforming and support for lower-weight side sleepers. For people with slightly heavier weight, the bouncy responsiveness of the Mattress may lead to a buildup of pressure around their shoulders and hips.
• Back Sleepers: The firmness of the Hybrid Mattress ensures that it can support back sleepers from all weight groups. The three layers of foam ensure that the pelvic area doesn’t sag in too deep while maintaining healthy alignment.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers need firmer mattresses to prevent straining their spine and their midsection from sinking in too much. This pressure is higher for people with more weight, especially over 250 lb.
• Heavy Sleepers: Bear Hybrid scores well over other Bear mattresses and competitor mattresses concerning heavy sleepers. It is comfortable for side and back sleepers, but the support is not enough for stomach sleepers.

Firmness

1. How firm do you think Bear Elite Hybrid Mattresses are?

Firmness describes how soft or hard a bed can feel. It is a subjective matter. A particular bed may feel soft to some, while to others, it may feel firm. Whether a mattress feels firm or soft, it should support body weight, promote healthy spinal alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.

Material & Construction

1. Can you walk us through some of the unique technology, design, and materials used in the construction of the Bear Elite Hybrid? Why it is so important?

Bear Elite Hybrid mattress has various firmness options but the same price point. It is a luxurious mattress with zoned support and cooling technology and is designed to meet the needs of sleepers across a wide range.

Let us discuss some of the unique design and construction features of the Bear Elite Hybrid mattress.

• To start with, the cover material is super soft and hand-quilted. It combines Phase Changing Material (PCM) and unique Celliant® technology. PCM absorbs body heat, and Celliant® is known to convert body heat to infrared energy. This combination helps in restorative sleep and recovery.
• The top memory foam layer is infused with copper, which is naturally antimicrobial and helps eliminate unwanted body heat for a relaxed and sweat-free night.
• The transition layer comprises polyfoam, which provides ergonomic support and contour. It allows even distribution of body weight, thus relieving pressure from the critical pressure points.
• The individually wrapped coils with a higher gauge in the center provide superior lumbar support and enhanced pressure relief. The coils move independently, thus minimizing movement and isolating motion well. Reinforced perimeters support sleeping close to the edges without fearing falling off.
• Another unique feature of the Bear is the use of high-density polyfoam at the base that supports the entire mattress and makes it durable.

The Bear Elite Hybrid mattress stands out compared to other mattress brands, owing to two unique features: Phase Change Cooling Material and Sleep Recovery Technology™ as discussed above. Sleep Recovery Technology™ uses Celliant®, a key scientifically tested ingredient that improves blood circulation and oxygenation. Celliant® is thermo-reactive material infused or printed on yarn and helps recover during sleep by regulating body temperature.

Mattress Review and Rating

Repositioning

Q1. How would you rate Bear Elite Hybrid from a repositioning & responsiveness perspective? 

Repositioning is the ability to change positions easily while sleeping. Responsiveness measures a mattress’s response to your body weight, pressure, and movement. A mattress that adjusts fast to your movements is highly responsive. Responsiveness and repositioning contribute to a better sleep experience.

Bear Elite Hybrid mattress’s three firmness options make it easy to move across and change positions. The medium firm variant is preferred by most as it’s easy to change sides or move across. The firm variant is also preferable but primarily by heavy people.

The Bear Elite Hybrid, a hybrid mattress, offers balanced contouring and repositioning. The comfort system in medium and firm variants offers sufficient contouring to relieve pressure points and facilitate ease of movement. Encashed coils at the support core provide a responsive feel that makes changing positions and getting in and out of bed easy. The plush variant with soft comfort layers offers better pressure relief but hinders ease of movement.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Q2: Does Bear Elite Hybrid provide superior comfort, back support, and pressure relief?

When a mattress distributes body weight evenly, it relieves optimal pressure at the hips, shoulders, and back. Most of us are unaware that our spine is responsible for most of our movements as it connects all the major muscles responsible for movement. Back pain is a common problem that impacts our daily life and disrupts our sleep. Chronic back pain results in poor sleep, so a good mattress that relieves pressure is important. The Bear Elite Hybrid mattress’s construction is such that it offers balanced support and pain relief.

The Bear Elite Hybrid features a cushion cover, memory foam layer, and zoned-support system with coils that supports the whole body and reduces pressure under the hips and other sensitive areas. The top memory foam layer adds cushion to every body part, and the zoned system offer targeted pressure relief in the hips and shoulders. Each coil reacts independently to body pressure minimizing movement and increasing comfort. High gauge coils provide lumbar support, which sleepers need the most. So, every morning you wake up without aches and pains when you sleep on Bear Elite Hybrid.

The Bear Elite Hybrid Soft variant offers the most incredible pressure relief due to the soft comfort layers at the top. In contrast, the medium and firm variant provides a combination of support and cushion, allowing sufficient back support and comfort.

Cooling & Temperature Control

Q3: How would you rate cooling and overall temperature control characteristics of Bear Elite Hybrid Mattresses?

When we sleep, the thermoregulation of our body is not proactive enough. A decrease in body temperature can help in calm and restful sleep. So, it’s essential that our bed does not become warm and make us uncomfortable. Hence materials used in mattress construction are important for a cool sleeping surface. Most hybrid mattresses sleep cool.

The Bear Elite Hybrid mattress is a hybrid mattress that helps sleep cool. The mattress was designed keeping temperature regulation in mind. Quilted cover with Phase Changing Material and Celliant® fiber allows all-night cooling. A copper-infused memory foam layer eliminates body heat and draws moisture from the body, allowing a cool and relaxed sleep. Individually wrapped coils at the support core allow air to move freely, dissipating heat from the mattress. All three Elite Hybrid variants sleep cool, but the soft variant owing to deeper conforming, retains some body heat.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Q4: Does Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress provide reasonable motion isolation when sharing bed with others?

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the bed is felt elsewhere or not. A mattress with good motion isolation will neutralize activity on one side, thus assisting partners in sleeping peacefully.

Motion isolation is a noteworthy feature of the Bear Elite Hybrid mattress. The mattress features a quilted cover, memory foam, and a polyfoam layer which helps to absorb motion; thus, couples can sleep together without disturbing each other while tossing and turning. All three variants offer good motion isolation; however, the soft variant excels due to the soft foam layers at the top, which offer extra cushioning, thus significantly isolating motion.

Edge Support

Q5: How would you rate the edge support of Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress?

Edge support is the amount of support that a mattress can offer around its edges. Strong edges stabilize the perimeter of the mattress. They are an important consideration for couples sharing their bed with partners. Poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.

Bear Elite Hybrid offers good edge support due to the sturdy support of the encased pocketed coils at the base. Coils at the perimeter reinforce the edges enhancing the durability and strength of the mattress. The medium and firm variants have stronger edges compared to the soft variant.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

1. Who would you recommend Bear Elite Hybrid mattress based on individual sleeping style?

Sleeping peacefully at night is as essential as eating good and nutritious food. It helps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. There are mainly three sleep postures: side, back, and stomach. Each one of us sleeps differently, and our needs for comfort and support are also very different and unique. The U.S. Center for Disease Control claims that 1 out of 3 people has insomnia leading to various health problems.

• Side Sleepers: Most of us sleep on our sides, so in this posture, most of the body weight rests on the shoulders, hips, and legs. So, the mattress you sleep on must provide the right amount of cushioning to keep away from developing pressure points.
  The Bear Elite Hybrid with memory foam and zoned polyfoam layers offer excellent pressure relief for sensitive areas. It cushions the hips and shoulders and supports the back. The pocketed coil aids in keeping the whole body supported throughout the mattress and do not allow sinking too deep into the bed. With three firmness variants, the Bear Elite Hybrid is suitable for all types of side sleepers. Bear Elite Hybrid Soft is luxurious and ideal for side sleepers below 130 pounds, while the Bear Elite Hybrid Medium works well for people between 130 and 230 pounds. The Bear Elite Hybrid Firm variant is suitable for side sleepers over 230 pounds.

• Back Sleepers: Sleeping on the back is the best position to sleep, as it maintains the natural posture, keeping the spine appropriately aligned. Back sleepers must look for a mattress supporting their back and spine. Lack of proper support can lead to the lower back sinking into the mattress, disrupting the natural curvature of the spine back.
  Bear Elite Hybrid mattress has higher gauged coils in the center which supports the lumbar region. The zoned comfort layers offer targeted support to the lower back, cushioning other pressure points. Elite Hybrid’s soft version is suitable for back sleepers below 130 pounds, while the medium and firm variants offer balanced comfort and support, supporting the spine without putting extra pressure on the hips and shoulders.

• Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm, supportive mattress to keep their hips and abdomen from sinking deep into the bed. This averts pressure build-up in the lower back. The Bear Elite Hybrid mattress supports stomach sleepers of all body weights. Contouring memory foam and pocketed coils allow the Bear Elite Hybrid to relieve pressure from the key regions and support the midsection. Among all the three variants, the Bear Elite Hybrid Firm shows the best results and is widely preferred by all stomach sleepers.
• Combination Sleepers: Combination sleepers tend to change positions while sleeping. They will enjoy sleeping on the Bear Elite Hybrid mattress as the foam and coil construction gives good support and scores high in responsiveness.
