This was my first mattress with Bear Mattress, and I'm not sure I'll ever buy another brand ever. I am in love with this mattress, and every single guest who I've hosted in my home has asked me specifically what kind of mattress it is because it's just THAT comfortable. Beyond its comfort, I chose it specifically because the bed I have it on is a Murphy Bed, which requires certain types of mattres Nicole B. · bearmattress.com

This order replaces an old standard twin mattress. I’ve had a T&N full-size and a twin for several years. I like the convenience of the product arriving in a compact box and unrolling to full size, easy to place and unwrap. I also like the comfort of the mattress, solid and flat unlike standard cushion-top products. Very pleased with my purchase. Robert W · tuftandneedle.com
