Firmness Info

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.

The mattress for those who love the feeling of truly luxurious sleep and are looking for a medium-firm feel, essential cooling and pressure relief features. This mattress has two upgrade options available:

  1. Cooling Upgrade: If you're looking for a medium-firm feel, but tend to be a hot sleeper or live in a warmer environment, our Beautyrest Black with Cooling Upgrade is perfect for you.
  2. Cooling + Comfort Upgrade: This mattress is for those looking for the pressure relief of a plush pillow top without sacrificing cool sleep.
