Firmness Info

The Bear Pro is rated a 7 on the firmness scale, with 1 being soft and 10 being firm. The Pro's responsive foams provide medium-firm support and the perfect amount of bounce. Contours and cradles the body, but with a nice bounce. Pressure point relief for Side Sleepers who don't want their arms to fall asleep at night. Just the right amount of bounce for Back Sleepers who don't like the "sinking" feeling of too much memory foam.

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

Mattress Construction

Comfort Info

We use different types of foam Copper, Gel, and open-cell to whisk away unwanted body heat. So you'll stay cool throughout the night. Copper creates a naturally antiviral and antibacterial environment.

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.

Support Info

Keep stress off your back, hips and shoulders. Contouring and cradling memory foams provide pressure-point relief and support.

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.

Comfort Specs

Breathable Celliant® Cover helps speed up muscle recovery.
Copper-infused Foam for a cooler, cleaner sleep. Copper is highly conductive and pushes heat away from the body.
Gel Memory Foam removes unwanted body heat.
Open Cell foam structure allows for air to flow more freely.

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.
