Bear Star Hybrid

GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on Bear Star Hybrid

Founder of GoodBed
Michael Magnuson

Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert

Bottom Line - Is the Bear Star Hybrid the right mattress for you?
Bottom line best icon BEST if you
  • Want a mattress with a medium amount of softness
  • Are either a back or side sleeper, especially if you weigh 200 lb or less
  • Often sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support is very good)
  • Prefer a slightly above average amount of 'memory feel'
  • Enjoy sleeping just a bit more 'in' your mattress than 'on' it
Bottom line not ideal icon NOT IDEAL if you
  • Are a stomach sleeper, especially if you weigh more than 250 lb
  • Don't like much bounce in your mattress
  • Want a natural or organic mattress (though this mattress is still OK in terms of avoiding harmful chemicals)
Sounds good so far? Get the full details.

This is an in-depth overview of the Bear brand of mattresses, currently consisting of four primary models. We also have an in-depth review of the Bear Original, the company's first mattress.

  • Yes, the Bear Star Hybrid mattress is adjustable base compatible. This means it is designed to be used on an adjustable base without incurring damage or voiding the warranty.

Overall, we found the Star Hybrid to have good adjustable base compatibility.
