Bear and Logan & Cove are two of the most well-known mattress brands in Canada, and both brands have built up a loyal Canadian customer base. So, what are the backgrounds of both Bear and Logan & Cove?

Launched in 2014, Bear joined the the increasingly popular and highly competitive online mattress industry. Bear markets their mattress as a great supplement to any active lifestyle, boasting “recovery from your day, every night” on their site.

After nearly a full decade of research by GoodMorning.com, the Logan & Cove mattress was released in early 2018. It quickly grew to become one of the best-selling boxed hybrid mattresses in Canada, even outpacing some brands that had helped define the segment. The combination of premium materials with luxury stylings is still seen as an attractive alternative to similar retail store models which sell for up to a few thousand dollars more.

Thanks to modern compression methods and the rising popularity of the bed-in-a-box, mattresses can now be shipped far more efficiently and conveniently than ever before. Customers no longer need to take a day off work to accept a delivery. Boxed beds are now delivered with the same convenience as most Amazon orders. Some bed-in-a-box companies even offer same-day delivery to certain areas.

Both Bear and Logan & Cove use FedEx to deliver their mattresses. Both mattresses are delivered directly to customers’ doors throughout most parts of Canada. In some cases, the mattresses can even be left on a porch or deck while the customer is away from home. Shipping is free throughout Canada for both companies, with each order taking under 10 business days for delivery. Bear also ships to customers in the United States, though residents of Alaska and Hawaii will be subject to a $100 USD delivery fee.

Like many bed-in-a-box companies, Bear and Logan & Cove both heavily promote their sleep trials. With a 120-night sleep trial, Logan & Cove has one of the longest sleep trials of all mattress brands, while Bear allows their customers 100 days to decide.

However, if a customer wishes to return their Bear or Logan & Cove mattress within the sleep trial period, each company will arrange to pick up their respective mattress and issue a full refund. There are no additional return or restocking fees for either the Bear or Logan & Cove mattress.

Both the Bear and Logan & Cove mattresses were delivered to us within the expected delivery time frames. Each product was well-protected within the box by heavy-duty plastic to keep the mattress in good condition during shipping.

Each mattress box was sealed with heavy-duty tape. Customers will definitely need scissors or a knife to open the box. To prevent potential harm to your new mattress, remember to be extra careful when using sharp objects to remove any packaging.

Once opened, each compressed mattress is easy to remove from the box. We recommend a ‘tip-and-pull’ motion to slowly slide the mattress out from its cardboard container. Simply tip the box from a vertical position down onto its side, and then pull the lightweight box away from the bundled mattress. It’s most efficient to do this process in the room where you intend to use the mattress.

Both mattresses are protected with two layers of heavy-duty plastic – one to compress it in a vacuum seal, and another to roll it tightly into a cylinder shape.

Customers will need to unwrap the first layer in order to unroll the mattress, which will still be in its compressed form. Some helpful advice at this stage is to place the rolled up mattress onto the designated bed frame. Next, like the end of a roll of tape, find and peel back the outer layer of plastic. You can use the momentum of unrolling the compressed mattress along the bed frame to help remove the rest of this layer, which could be up to a few meters long. After completing this process, the mattress will be lying unrolled before you.

Next, cut the final layer of plastic. The vacuum seal now broken, the mattress will quickly begin to decompress. Remove this final layer of plastic as the mattress expands to its full height. With Logan & Cove, full expansion took 1 minute. With the Bear mattress, it took 2 minutes.

The Bear and Logan & Cove mattresses are constructed very differently. The Bear is a combination foam mattress available in a single firmness option, whereas the Logan & Cove is a foam-coil hybrid offered in both a soft and firm version.

Some of the major differences between the Bear mattress and Logan & Cove mattress are the different types of foams used for comfort, contouring, and pressure-point relief, not to mention the support layers for motion isolation and edge support. Each mattress contains comfort, transition, and support layers, and these layers vary slightly in height and density.

Also, each mattress has a unique top cover which showcases the brand’s personality and design aesthetic. 

Bear vs Logan & Cove Mattress Layers

Bear Mattress Layers

The Bear mattress contains four layers of foam:

• The first layer of the Bear mattress has been designed to offer comfort and combat warm sleeping. With cooling memory foam, the top layer helps regulate your body temperature.
• The second layer of the Bear mattress is a responsive comfort foam. The bounce provided in this foam combined with the third transitional layer of performance foam offers optimal pressure-point relief and comfort.
• The final layer is made of high-density foam. Due to the high density, this foam adds to the durability and long-lasting support of this mattress.

Logan & Cove Mattress Layers

Both versions of the Logan & Cove mattress are made with the same six layers:

• Cover fill: Silk-blend pillow-top fill. The lightweight fill resting immediately beneath the cover is soft to the touch, antimicrobial, heat-regulating, and breathable.

• First layer: 0.75 inches of high-density cooling gel foam. The first of three consecutive cooling layers is primarily designed to offer immediate cushioning and a hint of body contouring.

• Second layer: 0.5 inches of medium-density cooling gel foam. This thin layer works with the layers above and below to equalize weight distribution and set up the overall firmness of the mattress.

• Third layer: 1 inch of cooling gel memory foam. This responsive material helps with cushioning and heat regulation.

• Fourth layer: 1 inch of soy-infused foam. This layer provides body contouring and pressure-point relief in the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.
  • Note: In the Medium Plush version, this layer is divided evenly into three zones, with denser foam under central third of the bed, and softer foam under where the knees and shoulders rest.

• Fifth layer: 2 inches of soy-infused foam. This thicker layer of foam is the first layer beneath the pillow-top. It serves as a transitional support layer between the pocketed coils below and the cushioning above. It also further establishes the overall body contouring and pressure-relieving properties.

• Sixth layer: 8 inches of individually pocketed coils. The pocketed coils are made from multi-tempered recycled steel. They provide robust support and motion isolation across the entire sleep surface. In the central third of the bed (under the hips), Logan & Cove uses a thicker gauge of steel in order to prevent the hips from sinking down too far. This arrangement promotes spinal alignment and reduces pressure points. Logan & Cove has one of the thickest centre thirds of any coil-based mattress.

Of note: The full perimeter of the mattress is encased with rigid support foam that allows you to sit comfortably on the edge of the bed. Polyfiber layers above and below the pocketed coils make up the remaining 0.75 inches of Logan & Cove’s 14-inch vertical profile.

Bear vs Logan & Cove Mattress Cover

Bear Mattress Cover

The Bear mattress has a very neat, simple cover design. The top cover is white polyester with simple textured designs. The white continues down the side of the mattress but is soon replaced by a very dark grey, which is a notable yet pleasing contrast in design. The cover is not removable and is spot clean only; it is suggested that this is done with a small amount of warm water and mild detergent.

Logan & Cove Mattress Cover

Logan & Cove's impressive quilting is full of intricate details, ones normally reserved for higher price segments. The design uses diamond-tufting, accent stitching, glossy fabrics, and other elegant touches to make a mattress you can't help but want to run your hands across.

To keep you cool and comfortable through the night, the white quilting is heavily infused with Tencel®. Tencel is widely known for its breathability and moisture-wicking qualities. Altogether, this level of luxury styling is all but unheard of in the mattress-in-a-box category, and especially at Logan & Cove's pricepoint.

Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious when making purchases. Retailers both in and out of the mattress industry have been incorporating more eco-friendly and ethical policies when selling products and choosing suppliers. GoodMorning.com Inc. carried out a survey in February 2017, discovering that almost 50% of Canadians are willing to spend more money for more environmentally friendly products. Therefore, in every review on Mattress-Reviews.com, we will highlight each mattress company’s green philosophy, as well as how prominent their policies are on their websites.
