Questions and answers
- Which is better for side sleepers?
- The Sparrow, in Plush or Medium. Its 3-inch foam comfort layer cushions shoulders and hips. The Bear's medium-firm feel can press on shoulders for lighter side sleepers.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Sparrow on paper. It has a lifetime warranty and 20 years of coil coverage. The Bear has a 10-year warranty.
- Is the Sparrow worth about $341 more?
- Yes if you want coils, a firmness choice or a longer trial and warranty. No if you just want a basic medium-firm foam bed at the lowest price.
- Which sleeps cooler?
- The Sparrow's coils and phase-change cover move air and heat better than an all-foam bed. The Bear uses cooling gel foam and a Celliant cover, but foam still traps more heat.
- Which is better for couples?
- The Sparrow, because King and Cal King buyers can pick a different firmness on each side. The Bear comes in one firmness.
- Which is better for back pain?
- Both suit back sleepers. The Bear's medium-firm foam supports the spine, and the Sparrow's Luxury Firm option gives firmer support with coils.
