December Bear mattress sales have landed. You can take 35% off sitewide, and you'll get a free bedding bundle worth $400 at Bear.
This is a smaller discount than last month's 40% off, but you can still take advantage of the free bedding bundle. It includes pillows, sheets, and a mattress protector, everything you need to upgrade your sleep space. The star of this sale will be on the Bear Elite Hybrid, which was this year's best cooling mattress.
The 40% off was the best discount we've seen at Bear — especially paired with the free bedding bundle. If you missed Black Friday sales, you can still take advantage of this 35% off and free sleep accessories.
Bear's extensive range of mattresses has something for every need and budget, so no matter what you're looking for, you'll find it here on sale. Head below for our expert picks from this month's Bear mattress deals.

This month's Bear mattress sales: Top deals
Which Bear mattress should you buy?
There are currently five adult Bear mattresses to choose from:
The Bear Original is the brand's entry-level option. It retails for between $641 and $1,424, although you'll seldom ever pay full price thanks to regular sales. It features three layers of memory foam and suits any sleep position.
For extra edge support and a more traditional spring feel, the Bear Pro Hybrid offers a more "luxury hotel mattress feel". While it costs far more than Bear's full-foam options, it's roughly what you'd expect to pay for an upper-mid-range hybrid mattress. (A queen retails for $1,284 before discounts.)
The Bear Elite Hybrid is the brand's premium option, offering three varying levels of firmness, a cool-to-the-touch phase-change top cover and 5-zoned ergonomic support. Prices start at $1,998 for a twin before any coupons.
The 13" Bear Star Hybrid pillow top mattress combines gel foam and individually-encased coils to provide pressure-relieving support. This mattress comes in a bit cheaper than the Elite, starting at $1,712.
Finally, there's the Bear Natural, which features 100% natural latex and a quilted organic cotton cover. All standard sizes are available, with prices from $1,999 for a twin, but you'll never have to pay full price.
If you're unsure of which Bear mattress to buy, you can take the brand's sleep quiz to find out which model will best suit your needs and budget.

The Bear Original is a 10-inch, 3-layer foam mattress. It includes a base layer of supportive foam to prevent sagging and create a medium-firm finish, a layer of Bear Dynamic Foam to alleviate pressure and provide support, and a top layer of cooling gel-infused memory foam to help draw away heat.
In our Bear Original mattress review, we found it comfortable to sleep on regardless of whether we rested on our back, front or side. (But lighter individuals may need time to break it in as it's on the firmer side.) Despite the gel-infused foam layer and a breathable quilt cover, it's not particularly cooling. However, the Bear Original is aces when it comes to edge support and motion isolation.
This mattress comes in six sizes, from twin to Cal king, as well as a split king option. Like most mattresses, the Bear Original has not been immune to inflation-induced cost increases, but it's still rather affordable – especially considering its frequent sales.
This 10" tall model features encased coils to promote airflow through the mattress, but doesn't quite match up to the comfort and support provided by the Elite. Hot sleepers may want to consider this mattress, as they'll enjoy increased airflow through the individually wrapped coil springs and cooling gel.
It also boasts a breathable quilt cover made of long-lasting, breathable materials. For added comfort, you can add a Celliant pillow top cover with Sleep Recovery Technology to regulate body temperature.
Available in Twin to Split King, the MSRP for this mattress runs from $998 to $2,282. Thankfully, regular sales bring this mattress down to under $1,000 for a queen-size.
Bear Mattress Black Friday: What to expect
Bear reserves its biggest discounts for major holidays and shopping events. Right now, Bear's early access Black Friday sale cuts 35% off and includes free bedding with purchase, but our semi-exclusive code TOMS40 knocks 40% off. Combined, it's the largest saving we've seen from the brand.
We don't expect the discounts to get any better than this, so if you can't wait to buy a new mattress, we don't think you will miss out by purchasing from Bear right now.
That said, we are still keeping an eye on how mattress tariffs will affect the prices in the final weeks of the year, and to what degree. (If anything, those changes may become more obvious once 2026 rolls around.)
Bear mattress sales FAQs
Do you need a Bear mattress promo code?
Most Bear mattress deals require a promo code, but they're not hard to find. Bear advertises its mattresses at the reduced price of whatever discount or deal it's running at the time, but you do still need to apply this promo code at checkout to get the best price. Often, these promo codes will be displayed front and center on the Bear mattress website, so it's easy to know you've got the best deal at the time.
Some Bear mattress deals also include freebies such as pillows or other sleep accessories. These will be added automatically to your basket when you buy qualifying items, without the need for a promo code.
Are Bear Mattresses sold in stores?
For peace of mind, Bear includes a 120-night sleep trial with all of its mattresses, and all returns are free of charge.
However, you may feel more comfortable seeing a Bear Mattress up close before you decide to buy. That's why Bear has partnered with showrooms across the country to display and sell their beds.
Granted, there aren't a lot of locations, but if you live close to one, it's a great chance to try a Bear Mattress yourself.
How long do Bear Mattresses last?
Bear used to offer a 10-year mattress warranty with its beds, which is within the standard lifespan of a mattress-in-a-box.
But as of this year, all Bear mattresses come with a lifetime warranty, which means your mattress is covered for as long as you own it. (As with all mattress warranties, it won't transfer if you sell or donate it.)
Does that mean you can expect your Bear mattress to last longer than 10 years? That depends. A lot can influence how long you can expect your mattress to last, from proper care to the quality of the materials.
However long your Bear mattress should last you, it's always important to know the tell-tale signs of when it's time to replace a mattress.
