It was my sign to buy a new mattress.

Have you seen that TikTok of someone taking the cover off their memory foam mattress, only to realize it was stuffed with fiberglass? After exposing it to the air, they had to essentially buy all new things and get their lungs checked out. Well, that video hit home, and I’ve been side-eyeing my cheap memory foam mattress for months wondering if fiberglass is lurking beneath the surface.

So when Bare Home reached out and asked if I’d be willing to test their Clean Classic mattress ($699, originally $1,398), I jumped at the opportunity. Getting a new mattress is an investment. But not only is this mattress insanely comfortable, it’s also sustainable and made without scary things like fiberglass or chemicals. It’s also more than half off right now, which is why we recommend it. Here’s everything you need to know.

What I Like About the Bare Home Clean Classic Mattress

The Bare Home Clean Classic Mattress is listed as “medium firm,” which worried me at first – how hard would this mattress be? Turns out, not hard at all! I compare the feeling of lying on it to finally getting a bra that actually fits. You feel perky and supported, and nothing is uncomfortable.

The mattress is made with five layers, each with a different purpose, from relieving pressure to isolating motion. It conforms to your body while keeping you supported, and is made for side sleepers and back sleepers alike. I asked my boyfriend what he thought it felt like, and he responded with “a supported cloud.” My cat, Pinot, is also a fan – the bed has become her new favorite napping spot.

Bare Home also notes that the mattress is “free from disturbances,” so if you have cats, like me, you won’t be woken up as often in the middle of the night as they run across the bed. Yes, I still get woken up when they walk across my body, but there’s nothing any mattress can do about that.

What’s Worth Noting About the Bare Home Clean Classic Mattress

Like other mattresses that are shipped in a box, it will take around 48 hours for the Bare Home mattress to expand fully – so you’ll need to make some room for it in your home. As it has to be laid out, you can’t use it for the first two days. May I recommend spending those two days binge-watching Love Island?

Who Is the Bare Home Clean Classic Mattress Best For?

The Bare Home Clean Classic mattress is perfect for anyone who is looking for a new mattress at a discount, without sacrificing sustainability. It is recommended by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and is made with CertiPUR-US® foam, which means it’s made without things like fiberglass, formaldehyde, mercury, lead, heavy metals, and phthalates.
