Bear has been in the sleep market since 2015, when it launched its original Bear mattress. The brand markets itself toward people with active lifestyles, and its mattresses are designed with recovery in mind. You'll find top-notch cooling features, zoned coil systems for extra support, and excellent edge support and motion isolation. Bear also offers a 120-night trial period and a limited lifetime warranty on all of its mattresses.
Long-term back pain is unlikely to be cured by upgrading your mattress, and a doctor or physiotherapist should be your first port of call if pain is affecting your quality of life. But studies suggest that switching to the best mattress for your body type and sleeping position can genuinely help. I'm lucky to not experience chronic pain, but in years of testing mattresses, I've often suffered temporary backache after sleeping on a surface that doesn't suit me.
