Firmness info	We designed the Bear Hybrid with a nice plush, quilted top so you feel like you are on top of a cloud, but your back and body will love the firmer core support. Overall, it would be rated a medium mattress, and on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most firm, Bear Hybrid is categorized as a 6.	It's designed to be universally comfortable with a medium firmness that can fit any sleep preference, body weight, and shape. It's not too firm, not too soft, but just right and a 5.0 on the 10.0 firmness scale. This perfect feel is achieved by our Nolah AirFoam™ that has the bouncy support of Latex and gentle body contouring of Memory Foam.
