Firmness Info

We designed the Bear Hybrid with a nice plush, quilted top so you feel like you are on top of a cloud, but your back and body will love the firmer core support. Overall, it would be rated a medium mattress, and on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most firm, Bear Hybrid is categorized as a 6.

2-inch Purple® grid layer is ideal for back sleepers and those who prefer a slightly firmer feel to their mattress.
