The Drift Is The Only Store in Seattle to Try Bear Mattresses The Bear Original is Bear Mattress's most accessible entry point, as a straightforward 10" all-foam mattress built around gel-infused memory foam, Bear's Celliant fiber recovery cover, and a high-density foam base. It's not trying to compete with coil-based hybrids on cooling or edge support, and it doesn't need to. What it does well: motion isolation, gentle contouring pressure relief, and overnight muscle recovery at an approachable price. It's a strong fit for couples who are sensitive to partner movement, back sleepers who want a memory foam feel without the hybrid price tag, and budget-conscious shoppers who still want Bear's recovery technology in the cover.
