The winner is here! Drumroll please! 🥁🥁🥁
The Fattest Bear of 2026 is... 89 Backpack! His story is not without struggle; he suffered from a bad leg injury in 2007 when he was just a yearling cub, but was able to make a full recovery. He is not an aggressive bear, but he will stand up for himself when needed. Also, his mother, Holly, is a previous Fat Bear winner, so Fattest Bear status is in his DNA 👑 🧬
Backpack now has a long winter of rest ahead of him, and after a hard summer of salmon fishing, he is likely yearning for a solid and supportive mattress to rest his back on. Read up on each one below, and let us know in the comments which firm DreamLife Mattress he should choose!
The Silverstar: an extra firm, flippable, tight top pocket coil with 5 orthopedic zones, posterized latex in the centre third to fight hip dip, and a tencel sleep surface.
The Rendezvous: a premium, hotel luxury pocket coil w/ firm microcoil eurotop, 5 orthopedic zones, finished with silk and wool quilting and a Cooler sleep surface.
Thanks for "bearing" with us on this journey! 🐻
