Reviews

Awesome affordable Kids' mattress

"I got this bed for my 2. 5 year old, and we love the height of it. She sleeps on it with only a box spring for support so she can get in and out of bed easily. It's super comfy for a kid her age, and I like that I can also sit on the edge or lay next to her during bedtime routine and it feels stable underneath both of us. It's sturdy but the perfect firmness for kids."

Sarah M. (5/5)

Great find!

"Bought two of these after a ton of research. Excellent purchase so far."

Robert L. (5/5)

Great mattress!

"We are very happy with our Bear kids mattress. Super comfy and well made. Our daughter loves it."

Ashley F. (5/5)

Comfy!

"This is a breathable and comfortable mattress for my 2 year old. It came tightly packaged so I could store it a week or two until I was ready to transition the crib. It did have a smell when first opened but it was gone within 8-10 hours. My toddler has slept so deeply on this mattress after transitioning from their firm crib mattress. I like that it is a substantial mattress that I could share if needed, but is also light enough that I can handle moving it and lifting it up to change the sheets and everything myself, unlike many modern foam mattresses that weigh a ton."

Elaine C. (5/5)

sleep saver

"this mattress is perfect for our child. after complaints about the old mattress being too soft, our child has declared this mattress "perfect" and is sleeping great on it. the mattress came quickly and was easy to unpack and get onto the bed. definitely worth it!"

Evan Y. (5/5)

Comfortable for our Young Athlete

"We purchased this based on a few websites' recommendation that this specific mattress was ideal for a growing, athletic child. Sure enough, our 11-year-old daughter loves it, and says it's much more comfortable than the mattress she'd been using."

JOSHUA M. (5/5)

Excellent, super comfy

"Great mattress, comfortable!"

Rebecca R. (5/5)

Love it!

"Not too soft, not too firm--just right for kid AND adult!"

Lindsay Z. (5/5)

My Son Loves His Bed!

"I was a little nervous purchasing this online without having the opportunity to test it out, but the trial period offered made me feel a bit better about being able to return if it was a complete disaster. It ended up being the perfect bed for my son and I even think it's super comfortable! I would recommend this to all my friends. My son tells everyone that comes upstairs that his bed is "so comfy!" so it's definitely a 5 star items in his opinion. Def don't hesitate to purchase, I'm happy with this mattress and I also bought the mattress protector."

Amber H. (5/5)

Super comfy

"My 3 year old son sleeps soundly on his Bear mattress. It’s so comfortable! I also I’m so happy I don’t have to worry about harsh chemicals in the material."

Q&A

Does this mattress require a box spring?
Hi there! We do not recommend using a traditional box spring. We offer a slatted foundation that provides the best support for our mattresses. -Team Bear
Does the Bear Cub mattress any sort of fire retardant or bacteria prevention? If so, what is used?
Hello, There is a fire retardant socked wrapped around the inside of the mattress. We recommend using a mattress protector or encasement for bacteria prevention. -Team Bear
Can a parent share this mattress to help their child fall asleep without causing damage to the mattress?
Hi Christine, Yes, absolutely! -Team Bear
What is the difference between this mattress and the twin size equivalent of the adult mattress?
Hi there! The most comparable mattress to the Bear Cub would be the Pro Hybrid mattress: https://www.bearmattress.com/products/pro-hybrid-mattress -Team Bear
What is the weight limit for the bear cub mattress?
Hi Meg, Thanks for your question and interest in Bear! The Bear Cub mattress would comfortably support, and satisfy a sleeper of up to 150 lbs. This takes into account daily usage and 8 hrs. per night. For a sleeper over 150-160 lbs., I would recommend the Pro Hybrid which allows a young sleeper to grow into a more supportive, and comfortable bed. If you have any other questions you may email support@bearmattress.com. Best Wishes, Team Bear
