Bedgear builds its mattresses around one idea: keep the sleeper cool and dry all night. The Performance line pairs breathable, moisture-wicking covers with airflow-focused foams and pocketed coils, and the brand sells eight mattresses at once, from the $599 X1 Kids up to the $4,499.99 M5 Night Ice Performance. The reason to consider Bedgear is that cooling is engineered into every layer rather than added as a surface treatment, and the higher M models let couples set a different firmness on each side of the bed.

The reason to pause is just as clear. Bedgear publishes a 10-Year Limited Manufacturer’s Warranty and free shipping on orders of $300 or more in the 48 contiguous states, but it does not list a home trial on the mattress pages, so buyers who need weeks to decide should weigh that carefully. Below, the full lineup, the price ladder, and a direct match between each model and the sleeper it suits.

What is Bedgear known for?
Bedgear is known for cooling and breathability first, comfort second. The brand describes its Performance mattresses as built with breathable materials, cooling and moisture-wicking fabrics, and advanced airflow technology that boosts breathability through every layer. The construction is consistently hybrid: pressure-relieving foams combined with flexible, pocketed coils that minimize motion transfer while adapting to the body. Bedgear positions this blend against traditional memory foam, which it says can feel too firm or too soft, and aims for cushioning with responsiveness so the sleeper never feels stuck.
Two brand-wide signals sit alongside the products. Bedgear lists 125,000 plus 5-star reviews across its store, offers financing, and plants a tree for every purchase. Foam used in the mattresses is CertiPUR-US certified. These are the facts that define the brand’s reputation before any single model enters the picture.
Which Bedgear mattress should you buy?
The right Bedgear mattress depends on three questions: how hot you sleep, whether you share the bed, and how much you want to spend. Solo sleepers who want a firm hybrid feel start at the H2 Performance for $1,299.99. Couples who want to choose firmness on each side move to the M3 Performance at $2,999.99. Hot sleepers who need the strongest cooling step up to the Night Ice versions. Kids get their own model, and the S Performance is the memory-foam-style option at the lowest price in the adult range.
| Model | Price | Best for | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| X1 Kids Performance | $599.00 | Growing kids | Moisture-wicking, washable cover, removable bumpers |
| S Performance | $749.99 | Conforming memory-foam feel | Cooling, certified foam, ventilated foam and mesh |
| H2 Performance | $1,299.99 | Firm hybrid feel with pressure relief | Cooling, breathable, suspension units |
| H Performance | $1,799.00 | Balanced comfort and airflow | Ventilated foam, wrapped coils, air vents, mesh |
| Performance (base) | $1,799.00 | General cooling and support | Cooling, breathable, conforming support |
| M3 Performance | $2,999.99 | Couples wanting personalized comfort | Firmness options both sides, washable cover |
| M3 Night Ice Performance | $3,499.99 | Hot couples | 3X cooling, firmness options, washable cover |
| M5 Performance | $3,999.99 | Couples needing deeper pressure relief | Enhanced comfort layer, firmness options |
| M5 Night Ice Performance | $4,499.99 | Hot couples wanting maximum relief | 3X cooling, firmness options, washable cover |
How does the Bedgear lineup feel?
Feel varies across the range in a predictable way. The S Performance is the conforming option, designed to hug the body with ventilated foam and breathable mesh to enhance airflow. The H2 Performance is the firm hybrid, aimed at sleepers who prefer a firm feel without giving up pressure relief or airflow. The H Performance sits in the middle, combining ventilated foam with individually wrapped coils, air vents and breathable mesh for all-night airflow. The M3 and M5 add adjustable firmness on both sides through interchangeable support coils, with the M5 adding an enhanced comfort layer for deeper pressure relief.
Height also varies on the S Performance: Firm (S3) and Medium (S5) models measure 10 inches high, while the Plush (S7) measures 12 inches. All S sizes run from Twin through California King, with a Queen at 60 by 80 inches.
Which Bedgear model is right for each sleeper?
Hot sleepers: the Night Ice versions carry 3X cooling technology, and the M3 Night Ice Performance at $3,499.99 is the entry point to that tier. Couples who disagree on firmness: the M3 Performance at $2,999.99 lets each side be set independently with interchangeable support coils. Couples who need pressure relief: the M5 Performance at $3,999.99 adds an enhanced comfort layer on top of the personalized firmness. Firm-feel solo sleepers: the H2 Performance at $1,299.99. Shoppers on a budget: the S Performance at $749.99. Children: the X1 Kids Performance at $599.00, with removable bumpers for the transition to a big-kid bed.

What does a Bedgear mattress cost?
Bedgear prices span a wide band, from $599.00 for the X1 Kids Performance to $4,499.99 for the M5 Night Ice Performance. Every model in the lineup is listed at the same regular and sale price, so the sticker price you see is the price you pay.
Financing is available through the Bedgear store, and free shipping applies on orders of $300 or more across the 48 contiguous United States, which every mattress in the lineup clears.
What are Bedgear’s trial, warranty and shipping terms?
Bedgear covers mattresses bought on its website with a 10-Year Limited Manufacturer’s Warranty. Shipping is free on orders of $300 or more throughout the 48 contiguous states. The mattress pages do not set out a home trial period, so shoppers who want a long in-home trial before committing should confirm the current terms with Bedgear before ordering. These terms apply brand-wide and are stated once here rather than repeated for each model.
Who should not buy a Bedgear mattress?
Bedgear is not the right call for three kinds of shoppers. First, anyone who requires a lengthy home trial to feel confident: the mattress pages publish a warranty and shipping terms but no trial window, so a buyer who needs 100 nights to be sure should look at brands that guarantee that time up front. Second, shoppers who want a simple one-model decision: Bedgear sells eight mattresses with overlapping roles, and choosing well means reading the differences between the H, M and S lines rather than picking at random. Third, buyers at the very top of the budget who expect white-glove setup and old-mattress removal as standard, since Bedgear’s published terms cover shipping and warranty rather than in-room delivery service.
If you fall into the first group, the Saatva Classic offers a 365-night home trial, free white-glove delivery with old-mattress removal, and a lifetime warranty, with three comfort levels and two heights to choose from.
Bedgear vs Saatva: which should you choose?
| Bedgear Performance line | Saatva Classic | |
|---|---|---|
| Price range | $599.00 to $4,499.99 | Varies by size and configuration |
| Home trial | Not listed on mattress pages | 365 nights |
| Warranty | 10-Year Limited Manufacturer’s | Lifetime |
| Delivery | Free shipping on orders $300+ | Free white-glove setup and removal |
| Standout feature | Cooling and airflow in every layer | Lumbar Zone support and dual-coil design |
Choose Bedgear if cooling technology and per-side firmness adjustment are your priorities, and you are comfortable buying without a published trial window. Choose Saatva if a full year to test the mattress, in-home setup, and a lifetime warranty matter more than layered airflow engineering.
What do Bedgear reviews say?
Bedgear lists 125,000 plus 5-star reviews across its store, covering pillows, sheets and mattresses together. Individual mattress pages carry the same product detail rather than separate model-level ratings, so the aggregate figure is the brand-level signal available. Shoppers comparing Bedgear against other cooling-focused brands should read that number as a store-wide indicator, not a rating for any single mattress.
World Sleep Almanac score: 7.6/10
The World Sleep Almanac rates Bedgear at 7.6 out of 10 as a brand. The score is editorial, based on these criteria:
- Materials and construction (8.5/10): hybrid builds with CertiPUR-US certified foam, pocketed coils, and cooling or moisture-wicking fabrics across the range.
- Range and personalization (9/10): eight models spanning kids to maximum-pressure-relief, with per-side firmness options in the M series.
- Warranty (7/10): a 10-year limited manufacturer’s warranty is solid but shorter than the lifetime coverage some rivals publish.
- Shipping (8/10): free shipping on orders of $300 or more in the 48 contiguous states, plus financing and a tree planted per purchase.
- Trial and returns (5/10): no home trial period is set out on the mattress pages, which is the weakest point for online-only buyers.
Our scoring method weighs published terms and construction facts equally, with no hands-on testing involved.

Frequently asked questions
Does Bedgear sell a mattress protector?
Bedgear’s mattress collection page focuses on the Performance mattresses themselves, and the protector and cover products are separate items in the Bedgear store. Shoppers looking for a protector should check the Bedgear bedding section directly for the current options and pricing.
Is the Bedgear S7 Performance mattress the same as the S Performance?
The S7 is a firmness option within the S Performance mattress line. Bedgear offers the S Performance in Firm (S3), Medium (S5) and Plush (S7), and the S7 Plush is the 12-inch version, while S3 and S5 measure 10 inches. So S7 refers to the softest, tallest build of the same S Performance model.
Does Bedgear make pillows and sheets too?
Yes. Bedgear sells pillows, sheets and an adjustable base range alongside mattresses, including the Flex L, Flex LS and Flex LSX bases. The brand’s pillow quiz and store locator are part of the same shopping experience, and free shipping on orders of $300 or more applies across the store.
Can two people set different firmness on a Bedgear mattress?
Yes, on the M3 and M5 models. Both offer firmness options on each side using interchangeable support coils, which is the feature that makes them the couple-focused tier of the lineup. The H and S models do not offer per-side adjustment.
Is Bedgear good for hot sleepers?
Cooling is the brand’s core design goal. Every Performance mattress carries a cooling or breathable cover and airflow-focused construction, and the Night Ice versions add 3X cooling technology. The M3 Night Ice and M5 Night Ice are the two models built specifically for sleepers who run hot.
Verdict: Bedgear is a strong pick for hot sleepers and couples who want per-side firmness, with a lineup that reaches from a $599 kids model to a $4,499.99 maximum-relief flagship. The 10-year warranty and free shipping are clear, but the absence of a published home trial is the trade-off to weigh. Shoppers who want a full year to decide should consider the Saatva Classic instead.
