Bear Mattresses

Bear Mattress launched in 2015 targeting athletes and active individuals with a focus on sleep recovery. The brand's signature technology is Celliant® fiber — FDA-determined to promote local circulation by converting body heat into far-infrared energy — woven into the mattress cover. Bear's foam layers are engineered for responsive pressure relief and motion isolation, helping muscles recover overnight. The Bear Elite Hybrid adds zoned coil support and copper-infused foam for cooling, making it one of the more performance-oriented hybrid options in the mid-premium price range.

Bear — Frequently Asked Questions

What is Celliant® technology?

Celliant® is a proprietary fiber blend woven into Bear mattress covers. It contains minerals that absorb and re-emit body heat as far-infrared energy, which the FDA has determined may promote local blood circulation and improve tissue oxygen levels during sleep.

Is Bear good for non-athletes?

Absolutely. While marketed toward athletes, Bear mattresses perform well for any sleeper who runs warm, needs pressure relief, or wants a responsive (not slow-sinking) feel.

What's the difference between Bear Original and Bear Elite?

The Bear Original is all-foam; the Bear Elite Hybrid adds pocketed coils for more support, bounce, and edge support. The Elite also includes copper-infused foam for enhanced cooling.

Does Bear offer a trial?

Yes — Bear offers a 120-night sleep trial and a lifetime warranty.

Is Bear CertiPUR-US® certified?

Yes. All Bear foam layers are CertiPUR-US® certified, and the mattress is GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions.
