Bestselling Tuft & Needle Mint vs Bear Elite Hybrid

Generally speaking, we describe both of our mattresses as medium-firm in feel. However, we also understand even that description can be subjective. Two people sleeping on the same mattress might have contrasting opinions - it could be too soft, too firm, or just right. That's why we offer our 100-night sleep trial to ensure every person has the opportunity to decide if the Tuft & Needle mattress is the right fit for them, and return it if it's not.

We designed the Bear Hybrid with a nice plush, quilted top so you feel like you are on top of a cloud, but your back and body will love the firmer core support. Overall, it would be rated a medium mattress, and on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most firm, Bear Hybrid is categorized as a 6.

Our Tuft & Needle Mattress is the original, universally comfortable mattress that changed an entire industry. Mint® is everything that makes the original great, with exciting new features:

• 3" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.5lb density) infused with ceramic gel
• 2" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.0lb density) infused with graphite
• 6.5" High-density polyurethane foam foundation (1.8lb density)
• Four sides of edge support (1.8lb density).

The Bear Hybrid is designed to offer a luxurious, traditional mattress feel using individually encased coils and premium foams. Made with 5 layers:

• Hand-Quilted Celliant® Fiber Top
• Copper-infused Memory Foam
• Dynamic Transition Foam
• Individually Encased Coils
• High-Density Support Foam.

1. More Graphite
30% extra graphite maximizes cooling, sweeping 50% more heat away from the body.
2. Higher Quality Gel
Upgraded Ceramic Gel absorbs 5 times more heat than conventional blue-gel products.
3. Open Cell Technology
Our open-cell foam technology is designed to allow air to flow freely through the mattress, increasing breathability.

Breathable & Adaptive Foams
Designed to increase airflow, reduce heat and create a cooling and comforting sleep environment.

The three layers in the Mint® Mattress work together to provide remarkable support that you'll find comfortable immediately as well as throughout the night. We increased the softness of the top layer for better pressure relief, increased the firmness of the bottom support layer (for edge support), and added a middle transitional layer to keep you from "bottoming" out.

High-Density Support
Like in our original mattress, this support foam strengthens the comfort layers and adds long-lasting durability.

1. Comfy Top Layer
We optimized the top layer of Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam to be a progressive combination of comfy and pressure relieving.
2. Cozy Cover
A new thick, knit cover adds durability and coziness.
3. Pressure Relief
Our progressive support and super comfortable top layers are designed to remove pressure points and bring relief.

Cooling Gel Memory Foam
Our memory foam doesn't trap your body's heat, it actually increases cooling 7x more than traditional memory foams.

1. Progressive Support
Ordering our layers in a gradual firmness combines comfort and support. The more you push, the more it pushes back to meet you.
2. More Gel Beads
30% more gel beads in our second layer add cushion-like support.
3. More Edge Support
Our improved, firmer base layer adds comfortable edge support.

Supportive Spring System
Our individually encased coil springs offer a superior luxury feel while providing the ultimate support and spinal alignment.

Our ultra plush Mint® Mattress cover is made with polyester and viscose. It has a super soft, cozy touch and adds just a hint of cushion. Viscose is commonly known as rayon and is used in clothing. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.

Hand-Quilted Celliant® Fiber Top. Incorporating Celliant's technology in the quilted top helps increase comfort and promotes a restful sleep.
Our Bear Hybrid is engineered with Celliant's FDA Determined Infrared Yarn Technology. Celliant is a revolutionary, patented technology that has been clinically proven to enhance tissue oxygen levels and improve athletic performance, sleep quality, health and wellness.
