Bear vs Leesa Mattress Comparison

Bear Mattress Review Highlights

• Celliant Technology: Bear combines minerals and proprietary ingredients into the yarn that makes up their cover. This Celliant effect turns body heat into infrared energy that improves circulation, muscle recovery time, and overall wellness.
• Graphite-Gel Memory Foam: The graphite in Bear’s gel foam is high in thermal conductivity, meaning it helps regulate temperature. You can expect an especially cool sleep experience on this bed.
• Responsiveness: The original Bear mattress provides a memory foam feel with the responsiveness typically associated with hybrid mattresses. The foam layers quickly respond to your changes of position, keeping you supported in all sleep positions.
• Spinal Alignment: We gave the Bear mattress a high score for spinal alignment. The all-foam construction maintains a healthy sleeping posture, which prevents or relieves back pain.
• Cooling: The Bear is one of the most comfortable mattresses for hot sleepers due to its cooling technologies. This is especially unique for a memory foam mattress, which typically runs warm.

Leesa Mattress Review Highlights

• Top-Rated: The Leesa mattress topped our charts in every single category of our lab assessment, totalling 9.3/10—one of the highest scores on Mattress Advisor! 
• Responsiveness: We gave in 9.5/10 for responsiveness, which is remarkable for an all-foam mattress and perfect for sleepers that tend to move around the bed at night.
• Motion Transfer: The Leesa bed also scored high for motion isolation with 9/10. You can count on uninterrupted rest when you sleep on a Leesa mattress with a partner, pet, or child.  
• Spinal Alignment: Proper posture during sleep is instrumental in preventing back pain. Leesa’s mattress keeps your spine straight from head to tailbone in all sleeping positions. 
• Pressure Relief: Leesa’s all-foam layers provide contouring to your sensitive pressure points. Side sleepers will fare especially well on this bed. 
• Social Impact: Leesa has a “One Good Bed Promise,” where they donate a mattress to a child in need for every 10 mattresses sold.

Inside the Bear Mattress

• Celliant Yarn Cover: Bear’s soft woven cover features Celliant technology that doesn’t wear out or wash out.
• Graphite-Infused Foam: This open-cell foam is cool to the touch and temperature regulating. It also cushions sensitive pressure points. 
• Transition Foam: The transition layer provides extra bounce and responsiveness. Bear has labeled this their “hybrid foam.”
• High Density Support Foam: A durable base layer that prevents you from sinking into the body of the mattress and prevents premature sagging.

Inside the Leesa Mattress

• Twill Fabric Cover: The Leesa mattress cover is designed to look as good as it feels, with a sleek lined pattern and seamless edges.
• Memory Foam: A cushy top layer of memory foam alleviates stress on pressure points. The breathable construction helps to keep you cool by improving airflow through the foam. 
• Responsive Foam: The second layer of memory foam provides additional pressure relief by contouring to your body’s curves. It also does a great job at isolation motion across the mattress surface.
• Support Foam: This support layer of dense foam keeps your body weight from causing premature sagging and improves the overall durability of the mattress.
