I just LOVE my Elite Hybrid FIRM bed! I first ordered the Hybrid bed but found it too soft. The Bear Company upheld it's sleep trial, the original mattress was picked up. I ordered 'up' to the Elite Hybrid, and it is wonderful in every way. Between the bed foundation, the special mattress cover, the mattress itself, sleeping is a dream!!!

This bed is amazing. It has just the right amount of firmness to keep my back feeling supported. I no longer have back pain when getting out of bed in the morning.

Great for combo sleepers. I start on my side/stomach and end up on my back/side. It feels great. Plenty of support. Plenty of cushion. Well worth it.

Awesome firmness with just a hint of cushion on the very top layer. What we’ve been searching for for 20 years.

The mattress is good. I wake up hot a few times a week; probably due to the terrycloth mattress protector they sent. I sleep fine, not the best sleep I have had, but better than before. I don't like the extra pillows sent with the mattress.

I love the firmness of my Bear Original mattress. I don't like that it does not have a tight top. I don't like sinking a bit into it. It needs a tight top so you don't sink in. I only weigh 98 lbs and I sink a bit. I always enjoy very firm mattresses, and prefer to sleep on top of my mattress. The mattress is of great quality. I will be putting a topper on it, so I can enjoy it for many years to come. Perfect for spinal support and restorative sleep.

Why have we waited so long to buy one?

Slept like a baby! Beat sleep in a while! We bought this frame, foundation and mattress for our guest room at our daughter’s house and now think we might need a mattress for our own bed at home! Quick delivery and easy assembly.

The night before I received a request for a review... my daughter had an accident. I changed bedding in the middle of the night and double-checked this morning. Bear protector protected the mattress. Did its job well!

Very nice pillow.

At first I wasn’t sure about this mattress. My husband wanted firm and is a primarily a back sleeper. I like a little soft and cradle feel and am a side sleeper. The first night I though it is too hard as I was preparing to sleep. However, I slept all night and work up energized in the morning and no body pains. My husband loved it immediately and also woke the same way. After having it for a couple of months it is the best sleep every night so far. I sleep all night and do not wake sore. The pillows s are amazing and the protector sheet and sheets are perfect too. I’m so glad my friend recommended this brand to us. I did not hesitate when I saw I could swap the mattress if it didn’t work. So glad we went with firm!!!!

Although a little softer than expected, we are loving our Bear king size mattress. It is luxurious and so so welcoming. The workmanship is excellent, and we would recommend Bear matresses to our friends!

I have the bear elite hybrid in plush. When other mattresses were causing me pain, bear has relieved the pain in my shoulders. I'm also a hot sleeper and have had zero sweaty nights.

Pillow is perfect (size, weight, firmness etc); carry/ transport case could use a touch of strengthening. I travel 2-3 times a week and it ripped near the draw-string after about 15 pack/un-packings. Still usable, but that’s the only point!

Love the pillow! Keeps me cool, while providing great neck and head support.

It's a great mattress, the only thing is that I waited a month to get mine. Other than that is been good.

After repeated flare-ups of a pinched nerve causing pain in my back and arm - and unsuccessful long-term relief with pain meds - I figured it was time to replace our 10-yr old mattress. A friend recommended Bear, and so I'm glad we went for it. It was our first online mattress-buying experience, and it was painless (and helped me become painless!). The first night on the mattress actually made my back and arm hurt more, which was really upsetting. But I didn't appreciate that it takes a night or two for your body to adjust to a new mattress - one that actually supports your body, in this case. My husband and I are both ~200 lbs, and are back to sleeping through the night and waking up pain-free on the Elite Hybrid. I was also really impressed that Bear sent along a mattress cover (highly recommend), sheet set, and two nice pillows. We'll definitely be buying from them again.

No complaints here with our bear original! Our youngest agrees! Great support and feels good knowing it’s made safe! Arrived quickly and easy to unpack!

Easy to unpack and assemble. Fits perfect with our bear mattress and is extremely sturdy. It was a great fit with the wall mounted headboard we purchased!

This mattress is incredible. We got the medium support. The topper is soft and welcomes you to bed every time you lay down. The springs offer support that means that you still feel great when you get up in the morning. I have spent so many extra hours in bed reading because this bed is so comfortable! We upgraded to king size bed and I could not recommend it more! No more log rolling in the same spot, no more being stuck in awkward positions because the dogs are taking up the entire foot of the bed. Between the king size and the hybrid elite style it's a miracle I ever leave this bed!
