Updated October 12, 2026: The 365-night trial below applies to eligible mattresses purchased directly from Bear. 3Z’s extension took effect October 7, 2026; earlier orders should follow their original order terms. Purchases from Yawnder follow Yawnder’s 100-night mattress trial and seller-specific return conditions.
Quick answer: Bear gives eligible mattresses a 365-night trial from delivery with a required 30-night minimum. Eligible mattress returns are free; Bear arranges pickup and refunds the mattress price less discounts.

How the 365-night trial works
The trial begins at delivery. Bear requires 30 nights before a return can be initiated. After that, contact Bear before night 365; 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.
Before you contact Bear
- Check that the order was placed directly with Bear and save the delivery confirmation; the current 365-night terms apply to qualifying orders on or after October 7, 2026.
- After the required 30 nights and before the trial ends, email returns@bearmattress.com with your order details.
- Wait for Bear’s instructions and authorized removal. Keep the pickup confirmation, and ask how discounts or bundled items affect your refund.
A comfort return is separate from a warranty claim for a manufacturing defect. The exact policy for your order and the seller’s approval process control.
Buying from Yawnder: which trial applies?
For an eligible mattress purchased from Yawnder, our 100-night mattress trial applies rather than the manufacturer’s direct-purchase offer. A 30-night minimum is required. An approved return has a $200 processing fee per mattress, waived for an eligible exchange to a different Yawnder mattress; any price difference applies. One return or exchange per customer and household is allowed, and the replacement is final sale. Floor models and certain products are excluded.
To request a return or exchange, use the form on the policy page and provide clear photos of the mattress and attached law tag. A request does not guarantee approval; written approval is required before pickup is scheduled. Mattress toppers, bedding, pillows and adjustable bases are final sale under the posted policy. Check your receipt and the current policy for complete terms.

Bottom line
Bear’s direct mattress trial is 365 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.
