Here at the Good Housekeeping Institute, our bedding experts try a lot of mattresses: In fact, our Strategy & Operations Executive Director, Lexie Sachs has evaluated over 100 mattresses based on testing data in her several years at GH. But when it comes to the bed she actually chooses to sleep on at home, Sachs loves the Bear Hybid Elite mattress for deeper sleep — and GH readers get an exclusive 40% off discount now.
Head Straight to the Bear Mattress Presidents' Day Sale
Thank to an extended Presidents' Day promotion, our readers can save an exclusive 40% off sitewide at Bear Mattress through March 3 by using code GH40 at checkout. Plus, you'll receive two free pillows with any mattress purchase. This deal is even better than Bear's current public promotion, which offers 35% off sitewide.
"The Bear Elite Hybrid far exceeded my expectations," Sachs says. "Right away, I started sleeping more deeply on it — in fact, I slept right through my alarm the first morning. And my husband, who regularly complained about the mattresses I brought home for us to try, agreed this was the best one yet. Nearly two years later, the mattress has remained comfortable and supportive, allowing us to fall asleep easily and stay asleep throughout the night."
Our experts named the Bear Elite Hybrid the best hybrid mattress after it earned perfect ratings across the board from all of our testers for comfort and support. We were impressed by its reinforced edge support, which is a rare find among boxed mattresses. It's available in three firmness levels and sizes twin through California king — and depending on which size you pick, you can save up to $1,568 with our exclusive code. It even won a GH Bedding Award in both 2023 and 2024.
Is Presidents' Day a good time to buy a mattress?
Yes! Presidents' Day is one of the best times of the year to buy a mattress, according to our experts. Mattress retailers offer some of their steepest discounts of the year around holiday weekends like Presidents' Day, Memorial Day and Black Friday. Bear Mattress usually offers sitewide discounts of 30% off year-round, so this exclusive 40% discount for GH readers offers a rare chance to save even more on top-tested mattresses.
