All-Foam Mattress

Bear Original Foam Mattress

The Bear Original Foam Mattress lays the foundation for quality sleep and overnight recovery, a 10-inch all-foam mattress for the bodies that actually use it. Swirl memory foam infused with cooling gel sits on top and does the contouring. A responsive comfort layer under it adds bounce and stops the sinking feeling. Six inches of high-density foundation foam carry the structure below that, so the mattress stays flat for years. A quilted infrared cover finishes the build, and you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.

The feel measures medium-firm, 6.5 to 7 on the firmness scale, the range that fits most back and side sleepers. The Bear Original earned The Strategist's Best in Class for 2025 and made CNET's Best of 2025 list.

The Bear Original Stack

How it works

Quilted Celliant Infrared Cover
Mineral-infused fibers woven through the cover fabric absorb body heat and re-emit it as infrared energy. The cover itself is plush and protective. Infrared energy increases local circulation and cellular oxygenation, giving strained muscles an overnight recovery boost.
Mineral-infused fibers
Adaptive Foam Comfort System
The comfort system runs two foam layers in sequence. Swirl memory foam sits on top, where it conforms to your shoulders, hips, and lower back while gel beads draw heat away from the contact zone. A responsive comfort layer underneath adds a slight bounce. Together they hold your weight without resisting the small repositioning movements you make through the night.
Pressure relief
High-Density Foundation
Six inches of high-density base foam sit at the bottom of the stack, holding the mattress flat and structurally sound over years of use. Cheap base foam compresses unevenly and leaves a body-shaped dent the mattress never recovers from. The limited lifetime warranty covers the foundation against manufacturing defects.
Sag resistance
All-Foam Motion Isolation
With no coils in the build, the foam layers absorb movement where it starts. A partner shifting through the night is less likely to disturb your side of the mattress.
No coils

Sleeping on the Bear Original

How to use it

Contouring

Contouring Without the Heat

The first comfort layer is memory foam infused with cooling gel. Memory foam does the contouring, and under load the body sinks into a cradle of its own shape. Conventional memory foam traps heat, and the swirl in this layer counters it, pulling heat out of the high-pressure contact zones at the shoulder, hip and lower back and spreading it sideways so the surface stays cooler longer.

  • Slightly slower response marks the layer where the cradling happens
  • Back, side and combination sleepers who want close-contouring memory foam without overheating

Support

Bounce Above the Base

A responsive comfort foam sits between the slow-recovery memory foam and the high-density base. Its job is two-fold: add a bit of bounce so you can shift positions through the night without fighting the mattress, and prevent your body from sinking deep enough to compress the base layer. Most mattresses skip this transition layer, and cheap memory foam beds feel like quicksand without it. It also keeps the medium-firm feel honest, since without this layer the Bear Original would read much softer. Below it, six inches of foundation foam make up by far the largest single layer in the mattress, and that layer determines whether it is still flat in five years.

  • Adds longevity by buffering the base from constant compression

Original Foam Questions

Frequently asked questions

The Original Hybrid uses the same foam comfort layers but swaps the high-density foam base for a coil support core. The hybrid feels more responsive (easier to move on), supports more weight before compressing, and breathes better thanks to the airflow between the coils. The all-foam Original has stronger motion isolation (good if a partner moves through the night) and a more close-contouring feel, at a lower price.
The Pro Foam stands 12 inches tall, 2 inches taller, and adds an extra quilted foam layer under the cover for more surface cushioning. Both share the swirl memory foam, the responsive comfort foam and the same medium-firm feel.
Celliant is a textile technology: fibers infused with a blend of minerals, woven into the mattress cover. The minerals absorb body heat and re-emit it as infrared energy in the 5-20 micron wavelength range. In practice: the blend is spun into the yarn before the fabric is knitted, so it stays part of the cover through years of use.
The Bear Original sits at 6.5 to 7 on a 10-point firmness scale, where 1 is the softest and 10 is firm enough to feel like a hardwood floor. That places it in the medium-firm range, the window that suits back sleepers and most side sleepers. You'll feel the contouring of the memory foam at the surface, but the responsive layer underneath and the high-density base prevent the deep-sink feeling some all-foam beds have. Strict stomach sleepers who want a firmer surface have the Bear Elite Hybrid in Firm, and strict side sleepers under 130 lbs often like a slightly softer feel.
A firm, flat, sturdy foundation: a platform bed, a slatted frame with slats spaced less than 5.5 inches apart, a foundation, or an adjustable base, through its full range of bending positions. Not compatible: a traditional box spring, or any frame with slats spaced wider than 5.5 inches, since the foam will sag through the gaps over time and can void the warranty. The mattress also works directly on the floor as a temporary setup. Only the rolled mattress comes in the carton, so you will need a compatible base or foundation ready before delivery.
The mattress is compressed, vacuum-sealed, and rolled into a box. Setup is straightforward: position the box where you want the mattress, unroll the mattress on top of your bed base, and cut the plastic packaging. The mattress decompresses to full size within minutes and is sleep-ready within 24 to 48 hours as the foam fully expands.
Six sizes, and every size measures 10 inches tall: Twin 38 x 75 in., Twin XL 38 x 80 in., Full 54 x 75 in., Queen 60 x 80 in., King 76 x 80 in. and California King 72 x 84 in. A Queen weighs 70 lb, and a King 90 lb. For a split king, order two Twin XLs for adjustable bases and independent positioning.
Bear backs it with a limited lifetime warranty. It covers manufacturing defects for as long as you own the mattress, including visible body impressions deeper than 1.5 inches, foam that splits or cracks despite normal use, and defects in the assembly of the cover. Normal comfort changes over time, damage from improper use, and damage from incompatible foundations are not covered.
Bear mattresses are assembled in the USA from foreign and domestic components. The mattress is GREENGUARD Gold Certified for low chemical emissions, and its foams are CertiPUR-US certified, verified free of formaldehyde, ozone depleters, prohibited phthalates, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals. It meets federal mattress flammability regulations (16 CFR 1633 and 1632) with a fabric fire barrier and no fiberglass.
The Strategist named it Best in Class in 2025, and it made CNET's Best of 2025 list. AARP named it Best Value Memory Foam Mattress for 2026, and Mattress Clarity named it Best Cooling Memory Foam Mattress for 2026.
