Bear Protector review

Bear's protector is aimed at people who sleep hot. Its fabric uses HeiQ Adaptive technology, which Bear says moves moisture and heat away from the body and responds to changes in temperature to keep a cool, dry micro-climate. Under that sits a waterproof barrier that guards against stains, spills, dust mites, bacteria and allergens, and Bear calls the fabric noiseless. Owners of Bear mattresses get one extra benefit: the company says the protector does not reduce the effect of the Celliant fibers in its mattress covers. The price needs some care. During Bear's Black Friday sale, the smallest size showed $48.75 with code BF35 against a $75 list price, and Bear's store data listed the queen at $110 before the code, so larger sizes cost noticeably more than SafeRest. Twin and full were sold out when we checked. Bear also sells a GlacioTex protector with extra cooling for buyers who want more.
