Who Might Choose Classic Brands Conforma Memory Foam…

  • Soft pillow covers are a priority. The Conforma cover is made with 80% velour and 20% polyester, an incredibly soft knit that differs from more traditional cotton and contrasts significantly with Bear’s “Double Ice” fabric.
  • Prefer the feeling of memory foam over latex foam.  The core of the Conforma pillow is 100% memory foam, providing that classic contouring or “sinking in” feeling as soon as pressure is applied by a person’s head or hand. On the other end, Bear’s pillow core is constructed with a latex foam-like feel and – as a result – offers more “bounce” and quick response.

Who Might Choose Bear… 

  • A trial period is a must. Bear offers a 100+ night trial period on their pillows. This gives sleepers a lot of time to decide if the pillow is the right fit  – no rushing to make decisions.
  • Hot sleepers. The Bear pillow is all about helping people sleep cool. The “Double Ice” fabric is cool to the touch and the foam is ventilated to help airflow.

Who Could Go with Either… 

  • Those who don’t want the pillow to fall flat. Both pillows are made with solid pieces of foam. Though they are responsive, they will return to their original shape – and keep it – once one’s head leaves the pillow.
  • Back or side sleepers. These pillows are on the medium to firm side and have a good amount of loft, which will make them a better fit for side and back sleepers over stomach sleepers.

Overall

There are plenty of similarities between these two pillows and an individual’s decision may come down to the details.

Those who prefer that traditional memory foam feel, where the head slowly sinks into the pillow and one can feel the extra support, the Classic Brands Conforma pillow may be the best fit. Hot sleepers will love the cooling features in the Bear pillow. Back and side sleepers will be happy with either foam pillow (in my opinion!).

Both pillows come with return policies but potential customers can test the Bear pillow for 100+ nights if they’re interested.
