I have the Bear Elite Hybrid and love it. Super comfortable and doesnt look weird at all.
Sleepline has the best review I found for it:

Seconding the Bear rec.
It's a really good mattress. Just make sure you get one of the hybrid models with coils. The foam-only ones won't be supportive enough.
Search Google for "bear elite hybrid review sleepline". It's the best review I found for it.
I have [this one](https://mattressvoyage.com/bear-elite-hybrid) and love it. Super comfortable and its held up well after multiple years of use.
Also don't trust most review sites. Almost all reviews are just ads in disguise. Sleepline is the only exception I've found. They're the only ones who actually say bad things about the brands in their reviews.
Ive had [this one ](https://mattressvoyage.com/bear-elite-hybrid) for five years now and it's just as comfortable as the day i bought it. No regrets even though it is pricey.
A hybrid is essential. You need the coil support of core to help support your joints.

It has a layer of memory foam on top of a coil support core so it's comfortable but doesn't sag. I've had mine for five years without issues, still feels like new.

I went with the medium firmness. Super comfortable and supportive.
My general advice if you have the budget for it is to buy the luxury model from mattress brands (Big Fig, Titan, etc) that are tailored toward heavier people. The higher-end models of these mattresses typically come with pillow tops or cooling covers, so you get tons of support without winding up on something uncomfortably firm. These mattresses are typically medium-firm(ish) and will last a long time.
What Bear did you wind up getting? The original foam model and the Elite hybrid were solid when I tested them. Glad you're sleeping better!
The bear elite is a good option especially with the zoned coils. But I don't think a topper will be a good idea as most of those are memory foam and the OP is a hot sleeper
I've tried one, and the Bear mattress really surprised me (in a good way). I don't see a lot of comments on it. But it is definitely one of my favs too
