Purchased this bed thinking it would meet all the standards it states. Turns out it’s absolutely horrible. It’s hard, it’s so dang hot. I had to actually purchased a seperate bed cooling device because it holds heat so terribly. The warranty was honored one time thinking we had a defective bed. Turns out it’s so terrible they discontinued it.
Good customer service. Thought I’d love this bed but as a combination sleeper, I often feel stuck in a rut. I’m 115#,5’5”and 66 years old. Found I was not looking forward to wandering all over my king size bed every night. After 45 days, it is going back.
This matress is a good quality mattress for the price. Softness is cloud like when getting on it, motion transfer excellent with a little bounce, sleeps mostly cool, celliant is amazing and quality of sleep has improved dramatically. My husband loves the mattressand has had no pain and is sleeping well. However, this bed is not working out for me. We are both side sleepers and sometimes back sleepers. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis and back issues and the biggest complaint I have is the back support is not enough for a side or a back sleeper with issues. The celliant has really helped with muscle recovery in my case and we are both getting amazing sleep. I however am still waking up with mid back pain although seeing a chiropractor twice since receiving the mattress 3 weeks ago. If this mattress was tri-zoned with better back support of 7 firmness, it would probably be perfect. So, unfortunately I need to try a new bed.

For the first 7 months, this mattress was fantastic. I woke up with very little pain from an on going sore back and aching joints and hips. But for the last 2 months, the mattress has seemed to stop working. I wake up during the night from hip pain and aching legs. The cooling aspect of this mattress seems to vary, I am a hot sleeper, some nights I wake up and have to throw off the covers because I am so warm. (This is under the same room temperature sleeping conditions and same covers.)
At this point, I'm thinking it's time for a different mattress.

I’ve had this mattress for about 4 years now so I feel I have sufficient data to provide a fair review. First, I’ll say that I’m a 100lb, 37 year old, rather bony woman, so others with different body types may have different experiences. Positives: The mattress has worn well over the past 4 years insofar as there are no noticeable dips or depressions. That said, I’m 100lbs and sleeping in a Cal King. Second, the mattress was relatively expensive. I believe I paid about $750 for a Cal King. pretty darn cheap. Now the negatives. I wake up almost every day with pain in my neck, shoulders, and/or lower back. I think (1) this mattress is not supportive enough to keep my hips from sinking in and avoiding spinal misalignment and (2) rather paradoxically, it also does not have enough cushioning to keep painful hot spots from forming. Especially when I’m laying on my side. Finally, I am a rather hot sleeper and I find myself waking up drenched in sweat when it starts getting warmer (over 78 F). I think for my next mattress I will try and pillow top innerspring as I think that might provide more support and more cushioning, and also not have that “dead” feeling when moving around in it.
My fault that I believed Bears advertising. I thought this mattress was a good fit for my wife and I cause of our active lifestyles. Instead we wake up with back pain, stiffness and hip pain. They say to at least try it for 30 days before returning however symptoms did not appear until around 2 months or so. It took us another month to confirm it was indeed the mattress then Bear told us too late. 100 days and its yours. We called on the 108th day and they told us no deal, its yours. So bummed we now how a mattress that causes pain and discomfort.
First off, some of these mattress reviews don't seem real because there are some that claim ownership of this mattress for some 5-10 years. Funny, it's only been out since late 2015 (only 2.5 years!).
Great mattress, unique technology with the Celliant cover. Slightly firm, but has softened over time (3-6 months). Good balance of foam. Better than average edge support. Sleeps very cool for any mattress. Good job, Bear!
Thought I was buying a great product at a reasonable price. Instead has created horrible pain, as some said it would. Pins and Needles in arms and legs, back pain and overall horrible sleep since I have had.
Although pleasant, horrible customer support.

We are trying out a Bear Mattress right now. My wife and I have been sleeping on it for about 90 days now. We like the way it feels when we are on our backs. It's easy to move around on and the motion transfer is good. We do find the mattress sleeps hot for us. I've woken up sweaty on more than few nights. And we keep the house around 72 degrees at night. Side note: I called Bear Mattress to return it a couple of weeks ago and Scott offered to send us out a Bear Mattress cover for free to see it helped with the cooling of the mattress. My wife seems to feel like it sleeps cooler. But I'm still hot on occasion. Also, we sleep on our sides mostly and we don't feel like there is enough pressure relief in our shoulders. I'm 5'10 250lbs and shes 5'7 140lbs. Hope this helps someone.
My wife and I absolutely love this mattress!! It is a huge upgrade from the very expensive memory foam mattress we got rid of! Within the first two weeks of sleeping on Bear, I noticed a huge difference in how much better I slept. We both highly recommend this mattress!!
