How the 120-night trial works
The trial begins at delivery. Bear requires 30 nights before a return can be initiated. After that, contact Bear before night 120; an authorized party must remove the mattress and Bear must confirm removal before the refund.
Are Bear returns free?
Yes for eligible mattresses. Bear says customer support arranges pickup and issues the refund.
Exchanges and bases
Only one return or exchange is allowed per customer, household and/or address. An exchanged mattress is not eligible for another trial, return or refund. Adjustable bases are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged; platform beds, foundations and frames currently have a 30-night trial.
Clearance products
Bear says Closeout and Clearance products are final sale and cannot be returned, exchanged or refunded.

Bottom line
Bear’s direct mattress trial is 120 nights with a 30-night minimum and free eligible returns. The important catches are the first-order/one-return limitation, final-sale clearance products and non-returnable adjustable bases.
