Buy Bear
The Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress is a premium mattress designed for active individuals, particularly athletes, offering advanced cooling and support technologies. It features a 14-inch construction with five layers, including a cooling cover and copper-infused memory foam. Available in Soft, Medium, and Firm, the Medium model is rated 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale. The mattress excels in cooling, motion isolation, and edge support, making it suitable for hot sleepers, seniors, individuals with hip pain, and back sleepers. However, it may be too firm for side sleepers and heavy stomach sleepers. It comes with a 120-night trial and a lifetime warranty, priced from $1,893 to $2,762.
