Bear Original vs Eight Pod 2

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 Pod Pro was designed to be comfortable for most people at a medium firmness.

Proprietary memory foam technology & mattress design combines 3 layers of foam:

• Cooling Gel Memory Foam
• Bear Dynamic Foam
• High-Density Support Foam.

Five layers of CertiPUR-US®-certified foam for the ideal medium firmness and contouring support.

• 1" Comfort Blend™ Integrated Topper
• 2" Airflow Top Layer
• 1" Supportive Air Technology™
• 4" FlexSpring technology core
• 4" Durable Premium Base.

• Room Climate and Weather Response
• Daily Health Check & HRV Monitoring
• GentleRise™ Wake Up Technology
• Dual-Zone Cooling & Heating
• Advanced Sleep Tracking
• Free iOS/Android App

Cooler Sleep
Graphite-Gel + high airflow, open cell Response Foam increase cooling and conductivity up to 7x more than traditional foam mattresses.

The Pod's hydro-cooling technology can heat and cool each side of the bed from 55 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit - keeping you at a comfortable temperature all night. With its Smart Temp technology, the Pod continuously and automatically adjusts the temperature of each bed side based on signals from your body and environment. Water flows through the Hub's hydro-engines to the Active Grid to keep the bed as warm or cool as you desire. Fits next to your night stand. Refill with water every 2-3 months.
With twice as many sensors as the original Pod, the Pod Pro is the first mattress with built-in HRV monitoring, alongside other biometrics such as Resting Heart Rate, Respiratory Rate, Sleep Stages, and Sleep Time. HRV variations can help you track your health to understand your body's fatigue level and anticipate illness.

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.

Like a premium topper, the integrated Comfort Blend™ pairs with the other four layers of premium foam for the ultimate contouring support while continuing to deliver a personalized microclimate on each side of the bed.

Graphite Gel Foam
Rapidly adapts to each individual's needed support and comfort while infused graphite gel particles promote a cooler night's sleep.

The Pod Pro features an additional layer of foam in its Active Grid - the thermoregulating layer of the bed. This layer dynamically heats and cools during the night.
The Pod Pro features a proprietary smart alarm. This first of its kind wake-up experience uses gentle vibration at chest level to wake you up while gradually cooling or warming the bed to ensure a smooth morning experience with no disruption to your partner. Set it and control it from the Eight Sleep app.

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.

The Airflow layer is soft to the touch and outperforms other foam on airflow, elasticity, and instantaneous response to your body impressions.
The Supportive Air Technology™ comforts your body while millions of air cells reduce pressure in sensitive areas.
The FlexSpring technology core is uniquely responsive and features enhanced cradling performance and high support.
The premium base layer absorbs movement while still providing a natural bounce feeling.
