Beat Bear's Black Friday mattress sale — how to unlock the biggest discount of the year on the cooling Elite Hybrid

Officially, the Black Friday sales aren't for another few weeks. But that hasn't stopped retailers dropping huge early savings. Case in point: you can now save 40% across Bear's entire mattress range when you enter our exclusive TOMS40 code at the checkout.

This means that the best cooling mattress we've tested, the Bear Elite Hybrid with a Celliant Infused Cover, is up to $1,256 off. It's the brand's best-selling bed and after sleeping on it for a month myself, I can honestly see why it's so popular.

So, if you're in the market for a reliable, luxury cooling bed ahead of the Black Friday mattress sales rush, here's why I recommend shopping the Bear Elite Hybrid now...

Bear Elite Hybrid mattress with Celliant Infused Cover: twin was $2,284 now $1,370.40 with TOMS40 code at Bear
In our Bear Elite Hybrid mattress review, our expert testing panel found the medium-firm 14" Bear Elite with a Celliant Infused Cover to be an exceptionally cooling, comfortable and supportive mattress. Bear mattress sales usually hover around 30%-35% off so 40% off with our TOMS40 code is an outstanding saving. However, the Bear Elite's sale and price history isn't a simple story as MSRP and the cost of the cooling Celliant upgrade have shifted throughout the year. But I've done the math. Ultimately, while the standard non-Celliant model was cheaper in the Memorial Day sales ($1,456.20, compared with $1,542 now), the extra fee for the Celliant cover has dropped of late, meaning this model is actually marginally cheaper now (a queen size was $1,636.20 in May, but is $1,627.20 now). We don't expect to see the price to get any lower the closer we get to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, though there is the possibility of two free pillows being thrown into the deal (a classic Bear offer). But if you're stocked up on bedding, there's no need to wait to buy your new cooling mattress. If you buy now, your bed will ship free within two to five days. It comes with a lifetime warranty and 120-night sleep trial, too.

Is the Bear Elite Hybrid a good cooling mattress?

Put it this way: if I could buy any of this year's best mattresses for my menopausal mother, it would be the Bear Elite Hybrid Mattress with a Celliant infused cover. Why? Because its active temperature regulation technology is designed to, and proven to, help you keep you at an ideal temperature while you snooze.

The technology in question is Phase Change Material (PCM), which absorbs and releases heat as it changes state; copper-infused foam that conducts heat away from the body; and Celliant fibers that absorb excess body heat and transform it into infrared energy.

Together, these materials help dissipate warmth in your bed, preventing night sweats and hot flashes so you remain at a more ideal sleep temperature.

All that said, if you're working with a tighter budget, I recommend shopping the Brooklyn Bedding CopperFlex Pro Hybrid mattress at $932.40 for a queen size now, which offers a luxury feel and reliable cooling at a more affordable price point. Read our full review here.
