The Bear Star Hybrid mattress, previously known as the Bear Hybrid, is a medium-firm hybrid mattress that combines memory foam and pocketed coils to offer a balanced feel. It excels in cooling, edge support, and pressure relief, making it suitable for all sleeping positions and body weights. The mattress features a plush quilted cover with Celliant fibers, copper-infused memory foam, poly foam, and pocketed coils. It has minimal heat retention, low to moderate motion transfer, and excellent edge support. The mattress provides good pressure relief, particularly for the hips and midsection, while maintaining spinal alignment. It is competitively priced and comes with a 120-night trial period and a lifetime warranty.
