An Affordable Luxury Mattress Lineup For The Active Family

Bear Mattress is one of the most transparent and customer-centric mattress companies we’ve had the pleasure of reviewing. These natural and eco-friendly sleep solutions are a great fit for even modest budgets, and despite their affordability, they don’t compromise quality.

If you’re shopping for a new bed for yourself, your children or even just your guest room, Bear Mattress is a great option. Read through our Bear Mattress review to discover more about the brand, the bed and the environmentally options available to you.

About

The Bear Mattress brand was established over 25 years ago when husband and wife team Scott and Anna decided to find a better sleep solution than was currently available. The family owned business has long prided itself on focusing on both the customer and the quality of its product. In fact, customers who have been in contact with the team say they feel as if they’re dealing with family with each interaction.

The Bear Mattress team claims to be a team of athletes with the goal of assisting recovery and repair after activity. While we’re sure there’s likely a couch potato or two on the team, we love that the mattress is certainly ideal for an active individual.

In this guide, we’ll talk about this and the other benefits of a Bear Mattress, including sustainability, certifications and the technology used to create the bed.

Celliant Technology

We mentioned that Bear Mattress beds are designed to help athletes and active people recover more quickly from sports and other activity. That’s because your Bear bed is made with Celliant technology. Not familiar? Let’s take a look at what Celliant technology is and what it can do for you.

The first thing we’d like to mention about Celliant is that Celliant products are FDA approved and labeled as medical devices. Through research, clinical trials and advisory board review, the Celliant brand has come to the forefront of recovery in recent years.

Celliant converts your natural body heat while you sleep into infrared energy. This energy is then absorbed back into your body. What does that energy do? Full-spectrum infrared light has been shown to promote improved circulation, particularly local circulation. In clinical trials, the circulation increase has registered by at least 8%.

This increase in oxygen to your cells does help aid in recovery, but it’s not just athletes who can benefit from the technology. Adults and children alike will reap the rewards of Celliant. Better quality sleep – and faster – is a benefit everyone can enjoy.

Certifications

Bear Mattresses are certified by both CertiPUR-US and Greenguard Gold. Let’s talk about each certification and what they mean for your Bear Mattress… and your sleep. CertiPUR-US and Greenguard Gold are third party certifications which verify that products meet certain criteria for sustainability and safety.

CertiPUR-US tests the foam in your Bear Mattress. They’re checking that the mattress is safe for both you and the planet by checking for VOC emissions, ozone depleters, harmful flame retardants, heavy metals like lead and mercury and chemicals like formaldehyde.

The CertiPUR-US certification ensures that your Bear Mattress is non-toxic, whether you’re sleeping on it yourself or allowing your littles to rest on a Bear.

Grreenguard Gold is slightly different to CertiPUR-US. While the Greenguard Gold certification does measure emissions of your mattress, the certification is primarily concerned with the safety of the mattress for the planet.

Greenguard Gold certified mattresses like the Bear Hybrid are guaranteed to meet stringent emissions standards, but also ensures that your mattress company’s sustainability claims are legitimate.

Bear Mattress has put years of research and development into guaranteeing that your bed is good for your body, safe for your health and healthy for the environment.

Mattress

Bear Mattress features three different beds to choose from: the Bear, the Bear Pro and the Bear Hybrid. Let’s look at each mattress individually to better assist you in choosing the right bed for you.

Bear Hybrid

Type of Mattress | Hybrid Mattress
Features | Eco Friendly, Naturally Hypoallergenic, Antimicrobial, Free from Harmful Chemicals, Non-Toxic, Memory Foam, Greenguard Gold Certified, CertiPUR-US Certified, 365 Night Trial, Lifetime Mattress Warranty, Made in the USA
Mattress Sizes | Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Cal King
Price | $1,112

The Bear Hybrid Mattress features all the perks and benefits you’d expect from a Bear Mattress. First, of course, you’ll enjoy a hand-quilted Celliant top. Whether you’re an athlete or just want a better night’s sleep, the Celliant top will ensure that you wake up refreshed, on your way to recovery and having experienced a restful slumber.

Beneath that is a layer of cooling gel foam, which will help to regulate your temperature while you rest. Then a premium comfort foam conforms to your body offering you a luxurious feel as the underlying transition foam gives your joints the support they need.

This is a hybrid mattress, so it does include innerspring coils. Individually encased coils give you the bounce you crave yet still offer motion isolation so you and your partner can sleep in peace. Your Bear Mattress coils extend to the edge of your bed, which means you’ll be supported no matter where on the mattress you rest.

The Bear Hybrid is both Greenguard Gold and CertiPUR-US certified.

Bear Pro

Type of Mattress | All Foam Mattress
Features | Eco Friendly, Naturally Hypoallergenic, Antimicrobial, Free of Harmful Chemicals, Non-Toxic, Copper, Memory Foam, CertiPUR-US Certified, Low VOC, Made in the USA, 365 Night Trial, Lifetime Mattress Warranty

The Bear Pro mattress is the next bed in our Bear Mattress review. This model includes, once again, a Celliant technology layer that will help to improve your sleep. It’s a bit different than the Bear Hybrid, however, in that this is an all-foam option.

The feel of this mattress is medium-firm as compared to the Hybrid’s Medium. Measuring 12 inches in height, this mattress features five quality layers that will help you rest better. Under the Celliant cover is a copper-infused foam layer that will help regulate your body temperature as you rest. Then, you’ll find a gel memory foam to maintain that coolness.

Beneath the layers of cooling technology rests a transition foam to provide support to your joints and bones. Finally, a high-density foam layer gives you (and your mattress) a rigid base layer to ensure a long-lasting bed that you can use for years.

Bear Mattress

Type of Mattress | All Foam Mattress
Features | Eco Friendly, Naturally Hypoallergenic, Antimicrobial, Free of Harmful Chemicals, Non-Toxic, Gel Infused Memory Foam, CertiPUR-US Certified, Low VOC, Made in the USA, 365 Night Trial, Lifetime Mattress Warranty

The classic Bear Mattress is a quality, budget-friendly option that we think you’ll love. This all-foam mattress is slightly firmer than the Pro, and it’s a space-saving option. The mattress measures 10 inches tall, but still offers all the support you need to rest well.

Customers love the Bear Mattress for kids, as the firmness allows little ones of all ages to toss and turn without fear for their safety. You’ll love the environmentally friendly composition of the mattress, too; your mattress is CertiPUR-US certified to be free from harmful emissions into the environment – and your home.

A graphite memory foam is safe for the whole family, and the bed, as all other Bear Mattress beds, includes the Celliant technology that will help you rest better. What we love about this mattress the best, however, is that it’s accessible to just about everyone. No matter your budget, you can enjoy a quality mattress at a price that works for you.

Free Trial

Today, mattress companies understand that you don’t want to try out a bed in front of a pushy sales person. Your sleep habits are private to you, and you likely don’t feel like sharing them with someone with a name tag and a commission guarantee. For that reason, Bear Mattress offers an in-home sleep trial. Your sleep trial will allow you to test you mattress, without risk, to determine if the bed is right for you.

Bear Mattress asks that you try your bed for at least 365 nights, beginning on the day that your mattress is delivered to you. If for any reason you’re unsatisfied with your new sleep solution, simply contact the company. Just send an email to the returns department and agree of a solution that works for you.

So long as you’ve had your mattress on a firm base (even the floor!) and have treated your Bear with love, the company will refund or replace your mattress. Be sure you haven’t had your mattress for over 365 nights or the refund period is void.

Warranty

Your Bear Mattress purchase includes a lifetime mattress warranty. This mattress warranty includes manufacturer fault. So if your bed is indented, defective, shows cracks in the foam or otherwise damaged through no fault of your own, Bear Mattress will work with you to provide a solution.

Be sure you keep track of your original sales receipt, as only the original owner of a Bear Mattress is eligible for warranty replacement or repair.

Financing

Bear Mattresses are some of the most affordable available. However, if you do choose to split up your payments, you may do so by qualifying with Affirm. Affirm is a third party financing agent that will allow you to pay for your sleep solution over 6, 12 or 18 months. Interest rates range from 0-30% and qualification is easy.

To apply, simply build your cart, then choose Affirm at checkout. You’ll enter just a few details about yourself, then immediately receive a credit decision.

Bear Mattress Review, Ratings and Feedback

Overall, we are quite pleased with the Bear Mattress. The company’s commitment to customer service and quality are quite apparent, and you can tell Bear Mattress handcrafts each bed with care. We love that the company takes time to answer questions and resolve issues with each customer individually.

The mattress itself is a great choice, and you have firmness options. If you’re looking for a soft bed, the Hybrid is a great choice. If you need a firmer mattress, the all-foam models are perfect for you. Of course the Bear Mattress is non-toxic and eco-friendly as well, very important for your family and the planet.

When you’re in need of an accessible sleep solution that is guaranteed to last for years, Bear Mattress is one of the first places you should start your search.
