How the Bear Cub – Kids Mattress is Made

Premium Gel Memory Foam
The cooling trend continues with the Premium Gel Memory Foam, which draws away body heat. The memory foam contours to your child body, reliving pressure and creating a cradle-like effect.
Responsive Foam Transition Layer
Younger kids need support for their growing bodies, and that what the high-density foam layer provides. The durable Responsive Foam supports the spine, aiding proper development. This layer creates a smooth transition between the memory foam and coil layers.
Individually Wrapped Coils
Individually wrapped 6” coils form a solid core that provides deep compression support across the entire mattress. The outer coils are reinforced to guard against rolling off the bed. As your child moves around on the mattress, the coils adapt to the changing positions.
