FAQs
Bear Pro
Does the Pro Hybrid smell?
Bear mattresses use foams that emit minimal to no odor. If there is any smell, it's typically faint and similar to that of new sneakers, dissipating within a few days.
How deep is the bear pro mattress?
The Bear Pro Hybrid mattress has a total profile of 10 inches, which is considered an average height. It features a two-layer comfort system over pocketed coils and unique Celliant fibers. The firmness of the mattress is rated as a 7 on a 10-point firmness scale.
What is Bear Pro?
The Bear Pro Hybrid is designed with enhanced cooling technology to maintain a neutral temperature. It features a breathable Celliant cover that absorbs and releases excess body heat, and a top comfort layer of gel-infused memory foam intended to further dissipate heat.
BedInABox Original
What sleep setup do you recommend for my BedInABox?
Each BedInABox® mattress is designed to work with any standard foundation. Foam mattresses need as much direct support under them as possible in order to properly support the sleepers. Keeping a slatted or platform foundation under your BedInABox® will help you avoid mattress sagging or breakdown of the memory foam. It is recommended to pair your BedInABox® mattress with the Clever Connect foundation or the MotionInABox™ Adjustable Frame.
Is there a weight limit on your mattresses?
BedInABox® uses high-quality support foam, so there are no weight limits for any of their memory foam mattresses. However, certain foundations do have weight limits. Their foundations are rated for up to 1000 lbs.
Why is BedInABox® the best Mattress in a Box?
BedInABox® claims to be the best Mattress in a Box because they are the only brand that makes their own foam, assembles every mattress, and ships it all from their own factory in North Carolina. This means that every component of your BedInABox® is made in America and under one roof.
