Firmness Info

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.

On a scale of 10, our mattress has a 6.5 firmness level. We like to refer to it as a "medium firm" - soft at the top, firmer in the middle.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

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.

Each component of the MOLECULE mattress has been engineered to work synergistically to maximize support, comfort and heat dissipation for the best recovery-focused sleep. Featuring a 4 layer construction:

  • 1" BioCharge™ layer
  • 2" AirTEC™ layer
  • 3" RecoveryFLO™ layer (Density: 1.65lbs, ILD: 40)
  • 6" ContourFLO™ layer (Density: 1.5lbs, ILD: 35).

Comfort Info

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

Better sleep leads to peak performance. It's not just the quantity of your sleep, it's the quality. Your body restores itself most during Slow Wave Sleep - replenishing blood and oxygen and releasing essential hormones. Sleep scientists and athletes engineered Molecule's unique sleep system so you benefit from the most revitalizing stage of rest, optimizing your body's recovery and performance.

Support Info

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

The firm base support fosters healthy spine alignment.

Comfort Specs

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

The most restorative rest happens when your body temperature is cooler. Only Molecule offers this revolutionary airy, extreme open-cell structure for consistent cooling even when compressed by your body weight. Cozy support with more than seven-times the airflow of traditional memory foam. Active people need more support and airflow than traditional egg-crate foam mattresses can deliver.

Support Specs

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

Ergonomically-engineered Molecule features a meticulously-engineered matrix of hexagon-shaped channels that respond to your unique anatomy and promote airflow even at the deepest depression points. You awake refreshed with relief from sore muscles and joints. Larger hexagon zones in the center designed for additional support and pressure relief in the lumbar region. Varying hexagon zone density around the legs and feet to support the lower body.

Fabric Specs

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.

Cover is 98% Polyester, 2% Lycra. It wicks away heat and moisture to keep skin comfortably cool. As your body temperature changes throughout the night, Molecule's advanced cover material responds dynamically, adjusting evaporation and cooling. Microban® antimicrobial treatment keeps your mattress fresh and clean.
