Firmness Info
One perfect bed, no more morning blues. Purple gives the best of both firm and soft with our pressure-erasing Smart Comfort Grid™. Wake up on the right side the World's First No Pressure™ mattress.
While we designed the Bear Mattress to have a solid core support with a nice touch of softness on top for comfort, we would categorize the mattress as a medium-firm. Certain independent reviews for comparison on mattress firmness rate the Bear Mattress a 7.1 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most firm.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
Three layer construction:
  • Top Layer: 2" Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ material in Smart Comfort Grid™ Non-toxic polyethylene copolymer powder coating
  • Middle Layer: 3.5" 1.8 lbs density polyurethane foam
  • Base Layer: 4" 2.0 lbs density polyurethane foam
Proprietary memory foam technology & mattress design combines 3 layers of foam:
  • Cooling Gel Memory Foam
  • Bear Dynamic Foam
  • High-Density Support Foam.
Comfort Info
Ventilation is the key to sleeping just right - not too hot, and not too cold. Purple achieves the ultimate sleep comfortability by combining a totally new material with a totally unique design. Purple remains temperature-neutral so you don't sleep hot and sweaty at night.
Cooler Sleep
Graphite-Gel + high airflow, open cell Response Foam increase cooling and conductivity up to 7x more than traditional foam mattresses.
Support Info
A revolutionary mattress designed for just about everyone. It's designed to not only help you get better sleep, but to soothe joints, release pressure on the hips and shoulders, and support the neck and back. It's designed to make bedtime the highlight of your day!
Not too firm, not too soft, the Bear Mattress is a perfect blend of cooling comfort, contouring pressure relief and core support designed for all body shapes and all types of sleepers.
Comfort Specs
Purple's column design allows air to flow freely, preventing moisture trapping, extending the life of the mattress, and providing cleaner, more comfortable sleep. Thanks to the free air flow design and patented polymer materials, Purple naturally sleeps much cooler than memory foam, latex, and other mattress technology.
Graphite Gel Foam
Rapidly adapts to each individual's needed support and comfort while infused graphite gel particles promote a cooler night's sleep.
Support Specs
The Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ Purple is a pressure-releasing material. This material is organized in a grid formation, which creates walls that can support or fold, depending on how much pressure it receives. It's durable enough to last decades so you won't develop a body impression. And it buckles under specific pressure, which provides excellent motion isolation so you don't feel someone else move in the bed.
Offering just the right amount of bounce, Response Foam offers unparalleled pressure relief and pressure mapping for optimal spinal alignment.
Support foam strengthens the comfort layers and adds long-lasting durability.
Fabric Specs
NEW SoftFlex Wave Knit: 29% Viscose, 67% Polyester, 4% Lycra (all +/- 5%). A custom, super-soft knit with tons of stretch so it can flex with both your movement and the Grid's. Its breathable material is also the perfect complement to the Grid's 1,800+ air channels.
Breathable TENCEL™ Cover made with naturally soft, long-lasting and breathable TENCEL™ fibers. Clinically-Proven Celliant® Cover (optional) with Sleep Recover Technology™
This specialized, one-of-a-kind cover absorbs the body's natural heat and reflects far Infrared light back to the skin helping your body recover faster and sleep better.
