About
What it is.
Bear's Elite Hybrid sits within the brand's sleep lineup as a 14" innerspring-and-foam construction, pairing comfort foam layers with a zoned coil core built for lumbar reinforcement. It targets sleepers seeking spinal alignment and joint cushioning, with a construction geared toward pressure relief across the hips, shoulders, and lower back.
The mattress is offered in Soft, Medium, and Firm feels, and spans the standard size range from Twin through California King, making it adaptable to different bed frames and sleeper preferences. Materials are fiberglass-free, GREENGUARD Gold certified, and built with CertiPUR-US foam, with design and assembly carried out in the USA.
The verdict
The Bear Elite Hybrid delivers strong pain relief and temperature regulation that buyers consistently praise, though its weaker edge support can leave sleepers feeling unstable at the mattress perimeter. At $1,234–$1,399, it suits those prioritizing comfort and cooling over maximum edge stability.

What owners single out
In their words
“If you’re reading this, I did your research for you. Bear is the winner. I was skeptical about an online bed in a box mattress retailer but we LOVE our Bear mattress. It is comfortable, supportive, cooling. I’d recommend over and over again. The sleep bundle it came with (especially the pillows) are fantastic and we appreciated the nurse discount.”
Matthew L. · verified purchase · bearmattress.com
“I had such high expectations after a year of a research and trying the bed out at sleepare. Unfortunately those expectations haven't been reached. The bed took a few weeks to get used to but I still find myself waking up pretty early to adjust my sleeping position (like 5am then going back to bed).”
