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.
