Bear Original vs Bestselling Tuft & Needle Mint

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.

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.

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

• Cooling Gel Memory Foam

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).

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
