A new mattress is costly, so snagging one on sale is a great way to invest in better sleep. As deals start earlier and earlier these days, you no longer have to wait until Black Friday to find a great mattress at a discount. Bear, a mattress brand known for comfortable, cooling hybrid and foam mattresses, is already offering 35% off all of its products. Each mattress purchase also comes with a free bundle, including two pillows, a sheet set, and a mattress protector. The sale runs through November 30, so there's no need to wait until after Thanksgiving to get the best discount.
During testing for our best mattress guide, we were especially impressed with the Bear Star Hybrid, a pressure-relieving bed with top-notch cooling and a medium-soft feel. We named it the best cooling mattress for back pain, so we're glad to see it's part of Bear's early Black Friday sale.

Black Friday Bear FAQs
What is the best Bear mattress?
While Bear sells many excellent mattresses, we recommend the Bear Star Hybrid for hot sleepers or those with back pain. That said, it did struggle in our motion isolation tests, so it isn't the best pick if you share the bed with a partner who tosses and turns. For couples, we recommend the Bear Elite Hybrid, a pricier but more supportive option. Read our Bear Elite Hybrid review for more.
What other mattresses are for sale?
The early Dreamcloud Black Friday deals are comparable to Bear, with up to 60% off mattresses and freebies like pillows, sheets, and a mattress protector. We recommend checking out the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid, a plush mattress for side sleepers with back pain.
The Leesa Sapira Hybrid, our favorite mattress of all time, is currently 20% off for Leesa's early Black Friday sale. Its medium-firm feel is well-suited for all types of sleepers. See more options from our roundup of other early Black Friday mattress deals.
How do I choose a mattress?
Choosing a mattress is a personal decision, but there are a few recommendations based on sleep position to help with the process:
- Side sleepers: Look for a softer mattress to contour to your body.
- Back sleeper: Choose a medium-firm mattress for optimal spinal support.
- Stomach sleeper: Go for a firmer mattress so your spine doesn't sink at night.
Don't forget to consider other factors, like whether you sleep hot or cold, experience back pain, or sleep with a partner.
