A Contouring Foam Mattress That Makes Movement Easy
The Polysleep mattress falls in the middle of the company’s lineup, but it provides a feel that is unique to Polysleep. This mattress is 10” high and uses three layers of foam to keep you well-supported, with enough comfort and contouring foam to help you fall asleep quickly and wake up refreshed.
It’s a good budget option for Canadians who suffer from back pain, as well as those who need a bit of temperature control, motion isolation, and need to move around a lot during the night. This unique mattress has a lot to offer, and it all comes at an equally comfortable price!

Our Methodology
When we choose a mattress, we look at a host of different factors. On the surface, we examine the materials it uses, its construction, and how well it seems to work together. Then, we delve into the finer details. We put each mattress through a gauntlet of performance tests, including practical tests with our team of testers. We also use simulation testing, with equipment that helps us measure heat build-up over time and motion transfer with ball drop tests.
These testing results are combined with tester feedback and expert opinions. We use all of this feedback to help you determine if the mattress is right for you. We generate scores using this combination of data, which can give you a good idea of how the mattress may work as you use it.

Mattress Details
Polysleep is an all-foam mattress that falls in the middle of Polysleep’s mattress lineup. It’s one of the original mattresses that Polysleep offers and represents the first premium mattress available on the website. You aren’t going to pay a premium price, though – Polysleep is still well within the range of affordable mattresses. It performs somewhat better than some of the other all-foam mattresses in this price range.
It uses three layers of foam wrapped in a washable, water-resistant cover. This is a unique feature for Polysleep, as most other mattresses only suggest using a mattress protector. While we would still suggest using one with the Polysleep mattress, the impact in case of a spill will be much less on this mattress. It also uses a unique edge support perimeter that encases half of the mattress, firming up the edges around the support layer.
This mattress performs well across multiple areas that we test. It responds well, making it easier to move around on the surface of the mattress. It also offers excellent motion isolation for couples, strong edge support, and decent temperature control and pressure relief. While this mattress doesn’t bounce and the company policies are a little lacking compared to the rest of the market, it’s still worth a look.
- Price: $895 to $1395
- Firmness: Medium Firm
- Type: All foam
- Shipping Cost: Free (except to the Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut)
- Warranty: 10 years
- Sleep Trial: 100 nights
The Polysleep Mattress is great for:
- Canadians who sleep warm
- Couples and co-sleepers
- Edge sleepers
- Combination sleepers
- Canadians who move around a lot at night
Skip the Polysleep if you:
- Need a lot of pressure relief
- Want an eco-conscious mattress
- Need a lot of bounce
Polysleep Mattress Prices and Sizes
The Polysleep mattress is an affordable all-foam option that offers outstanding performance for its price point. It offers unique materials, a non-standard construction, and works pretty well for most Canadians. This mattress easily outperforms some of the other mattresses we’ve seen in this price range, though it has its drawbacks.
This 10” mattress is available in all six standard mattress sizes, including California King. While there is no option to purchase a Split King for those who have a split adjustable bed frame, you can simply purchase two Twin XL mattresses instead. There is also an RV size for the Polysleep mattress that you can purchase through a different listing. The mattress is nearly identical to this one but comes in a size that fits your RV sleeping spaces.
Size | Dimensions | Price |
Twin | 39” x 75” x 10” | $895 |
Twin XL | 39” x 80” x 10” | $945 |
Full | 54” x 75” x 10” | $1095 |
Queen | 60” x 80” x 10” | $1195 |
King | 76” x 80” x 10” | $1395 |
California King | 72” x 84” x 10” | $1395 |
Mattress Construction
The Polysleep Mattress is made with three layers of foam, with a fourth layer of foam acting as a supportive frame. This construction is a little less traditional than some of the other all-foam mattresses we’ve looked at, so let’s take a look at how it works.
- The Cover: The cover of the Polysleep mattress is completely water resistant. It’s an extremely low-maintenance cover that can be removed and washed. The zipper is easy to use and makes it simple to reattach the cover when it is finished washing.
- The 1st Layer: The top layer of the Polysleep mattress is antimicrobial foam. This is a viscoelastic hybrid foam that uses an open-cell construction to promote better airflow. This hybrid foam removes heat from the mattress, circulating cooler air throughout the top and the core. It is 2.5” high.
- The 2nd Layer: A 2” layer of transition foam helps with motion isolation and pressure relief. This layer cushions the firmer foam from the core of the mattress, ensuring that you don’t feel it when you lie down. This layer adds support and contouring as well, which can help make most Canadians more comfortable.
- The 3rd Layer: The base layer is made with a dense foam that helps reinforce the mattress, reducing strain and providing stronger support than most foam mattresses we look at. This layer is firm enough to be supportive without becoming uncomfortable over time.
- Support Frame. A frame of firmer foam surrounds most of the mattress. This dense foam helps support the edges, reducing strain and keeping you supported even if you need to sleep near the edge.
Polysleep’s support frame encases the foam core of the mattress, but it also rises higher to support the transition layer. While some mattresses are only encased around the support layer, this one provides edge support throughout the mattress. This means you’ll get better results in this area.
Mattress Performance Test Results
We tested the Polysleep mattress using the same performance testing we used throughout the rest of our mattress picks. Each score was considered from the wealth of information we had about the mattress, from our testing scores to tester feedback.
Temperature Control (8.8/10)
Many Canadians wake up hot, sweaty, and overheated. Sleeping too hot is a common issue among sleepers, especially Canadians (even those in areas where it is much colder). There can be many reasons for this, but your mattress can play a huge part in keeping you too warm. Unless a mattress has a ton of temperature control features, you may still feel hot at night or wake up sweaty. To make you more comfortable, a mattress should have a score of at least an 8 out of 10 in this category.
The Polysleep mattress is okay for most Canadians, even those who tend to sleep a little warm. The open-cell foam used at the top of the mattress doesn’t introduce any active cooling, but it is extremely breathable. For this reason, the cooling capabilities of the mattress seem limited. Even when there is proper airflow, heat tends to build up and doesn’t dissipate easily. Those who sleep extremely hot may need to look for a mattress that deals with heat better. Still, our testers noted that the mattress did help with some overheating.
Motion Isolation (9.7/10)
Does your partner often wake up you when they toss and turn? Do you sometimes wake up when they get out of bed or have trouble falling asleep when they are restless? If you need your bed to stay still when your partner is moving, you’ll need a mattress with better motion isolation. Beds that isolate motion can stop vibration and shaking from reaching your side of the bed, so you’ll sleep more comfortably. You should look for mattresses with at least a rating of 7.5 in this category if motion isolation is important to you.
Thankfully, the Polysleep mattress has you covered. It has a higher motion isolation score than most other memory foam mattresses, especially those we’ve tested. This all-foam mattress uses open-cell technology to trap motion, reducing the rate at which it can travel across the mattress. This means that you won’t feel much of anything on the other side of the bed, even if your partner is having a rough night. Our testers noted that they could still feel larger movements, but most of the time these larger movements weren’t disruptive.

Edge Support (9.1/10)
Sometimes, the edges of the mattress can lose support. This is extremely common in all-foam mattresses, where the foam collapses more readily as you near the edge. This disparity in support can lead to discomfort, especially for those who gravitate towards the edge of the bed for sleep or those who sit at the edge in the morning. To avoid this slipping and sliding feeling you may get from the lack of support, you should choose a mattress that rates at least a 7 in this category.
Polysleep uses a unique encasement foam that wraps around the bottom two layers of this mattress. This provides a stronger edge than most all-foam mattresses. This encasement is unique because it is usually only present in hybrid mattresses, but here it bolsters the edges of this all-foam mattress well. The mattress doesn’t compress as deep at the edges because of this foam, reducing sinkage and improving support as you approach the edge of the mattress.
Firmness and Feel of the Polysleep Mattress
The Polysleep mattress is a medium-firm mattress that rates at about a 6.5 on our firmness scale. When we rate a mattress, we look at the manufacturer’s recommendations as well as our own experiences with the mattress. A mattress rated at a 1 is extremely soft, while a 10 is extremely firm. The Polysleep is nearer to the middle, with a feel that is ideal for most Canadians.

The thick comfort layers here work to relieve pressure, contouring to your body to bring you the support you need. While it doesn’t perform as well as some of our other all-foam options in pressure relief, it does a good enough job for most sleepers. The strong support from the base of the mattress makes it perfect for those who need additional alignment, while the transition layer doesn’t allow you to sink much further into the stack.
This mattress doesn’t offer a lot of bounce, so those looking for feedback should skip this mattress. Sinkage is moderate, allowing you to get comfortable without losing the ability to move around. The materials are responsive and reform quickly, reducing the feeling of being ‘stuck’ in the mattress.
Performance for Different Weights and Sleeping Preferences
Mattresses perform differently based on a few factors. How you experience a mattress may be different based on your sleeping position and body type. We have testers in all different categories, so we can give you a sneak peek of how the mattress may work for you.
Weight Considerations
Your body type can impact how comfortable a mattress feels. Lighter sleepers, for instance, may not sink far enough into a mattress to get all of the pressure relief benefits or support that it offers. Heavier sleepers may sink too far, making it impossible not to feel the firm support layers at the core of the mattress.
The Polysleep mattress is a good choice for most sleepers, but heavier sleepers may need more support. While this mattress offers fine support for most, those who need more from their mattress may need to look elsewhere. However, some heavier sleepers can still be comfortable here. The comfort layers are thick enough and the foam is responsive enough that sinking into the support layer doesn’t seem to be an issue.
All body types can be comfortable on this mattress. Lighter sleepers may want a softer top, and heavier sleepers may want more support. You may need to try it out for yourself to determine if you fall into either of these categories.
Sleeping Positions
Every sleeping position needs different levels of support and comfort. How you sleep on a mattress is more important than just about any other factor, specifically when your sleep needs are impacted. Here is how the mattress performed for our testers in various sleeping positions.
- Side Sleepers: To sleep comfortably, side sleepers need good alignment and pressure relief. The thick, contouring comfort layers of the Polysleep mattress provide enough pressure relief for most Canadians, and the strong foam below will help with alignment. However, some heavier side sleepers may need better pressure relief and stronger help with lumbar support and alignment throughout the mattress.
- Back Sleepers: Back sleepers need contouring to prevent aches and maintain support. The contouring feel of the Polysleep mattress makes back sleepers happy, as they can sink into the mattress without feeling stuck or sinking too far. Back sleepers will like the Polysleep mattress.
- Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers need strong support from the mattress’s core and a softer top to reduce discomfort and strain. The support from the Polysleep is enough for most sleepers, but it doesn’t do well for stomach sleepers. They often need stronger support to remain comfortable.
- Combination Sleepers: Combination sleepers need to move around a lot at night to get comfortable. Ideally, a mattress that works well for combination sleepers needs to provide good ease of movement and support for all sleeping positions. While the Polysleep is easy to move around on, it may not provide the same level of support in all sleeping positions.
Delivery, Sleep Trials, & Returns
All Polysleep mattresses are made in Canada. Polysleep tries to use Canadian materials where possible, but some materials may be outsourced to provide the best possible quality. When you purchase a mattress, it will ship within 1 to 3 business days. In most locations, you will have your mattress at your door in 5 to 7 business days. If you live in a remote area, it may take longer.
Your sleep trial begins the day your mattress arrives at your door. You’ll have 100 nights to test the mattress, but you should wait until the first 30 days have passed to initiate a return. This is because it takes about this long for your body to adjust to a new mattress. Polysleep also requires you to wait this long to return the mattress, as they believe that your mind may change after you test it for a significant amount of time.
If you do need to return it, returns are easy and free. If you decide to keep the mattress, you’ll have a 10-year warranty that covers excessive sinking and material defects.
- Shipping Cost: Free (to most locations)
- Time to Delivery: 5 to 7 Business Days
- Courier: Various
- Sleep Trial Length: 100 Nights
- Warranty: 10 Years
- Ease of Return: Full refund after an initial 30-day period
Company Background
Polysleep is a Canadian brand relatively new to the Canadian mattress market. However, they already offer a host of mattresses that work with the needs of most customers, and their products are constantly changing to reflect this. The company have 5 mattresses available, ranging from an extreme budget model to a luxurious option that still doesn’t cost as much as some of the others on the market.
Polysleep also offers pillows, mattress protectors, mattress toppers, and foundations. These include an adjustable base that comes at a much lower price than options from other well-known companies. There’s always a promotion going on for their products, so you never have to pay full price. For every 10 mattresses they sell, they donate 1 mattress to local charities for those who need them.
Commitment to the Environment
While Polysleep offers no overt commitment to the environment at the surface level, they do work to reduce its carbon footprint. They send their mattresses compressed tightly into boxes to reduce shipping impacts on the environment. This means that the boxes are smaller and easier to ship, reducing the need for bulky, wasteful packaging. Other than this, all foams used in Polysleep mattresses are certified to be free of harmful chemicals and safe for human use.
Polysleep vs Other Polysleep Mattresses
Polysleep makes four mattresses in addition to the Polysleep mattress. Below, we’ll look at how it stacks up to their ultra-budget model, the Polysleep Sierra, as well as the luxury Polysleep Zephyr 2.0.
Polysleep vs Polysleep Sierra
Polysleep Sierra is the company’s most basic model. It’s a 9” mattress that uses two layers of foam, including an antimicrobial top layer and a supportive foam base. The cover here is also removable and washable. This mattress is $300 less than the Polysleep mattress.
When it comes to performance, the Polysleep mattress wins out. The Sierra doesn’t offer the same level of support or pressure relief as the Polysleep and the two layers of foam aren’t cool or comforting enough for most Canadians. If you need a quality all-foam mattress and don’t mind spending a little more, the Polysleep mattress is the clear winner here.
Polysleep vs Polysleep Zephyr 2.0
On the other hand, is Polysleep Zephyr 2,0, the company’s most advanced mattress. This option uses 7 layers of foam encased in a firm edge support layer. It uses a host of technologies to improve performance, from cooling gel foams to super contouring options. This mattress represents the best performance that Polysleep offers, as well as the best materials available.
Because it is a luxury mattress with many more layers of foam, you can expect to pay much more for it. The Zephyr costs $2,545 for a Queen size. At just $1,195 for a Queen-sized Polysleep mattress, the price difference may give you pause. If you have the extra, the additional performance may be worth it. However, the Polysleep wins out in both motion isolation and value for your money.
Competing Canadian Mattress Comparisons
Now we’ll look at how the Polysleep stacks up to two popular all-foam mattress options that occupy the same price point. Here’s how the Polysleep looks when compared to the Douglas Original and the Endy mattress.
Polysleep vs Douglas Original

The Douglas Original is one of the most popular all-foam mattresses in Canada. This mattress uses layers of eco-conscious foams to provide stunning performance, as it works to provide relief for issues that are commonly found in all-foam mattresses. This mattress uses the same basic construction as the Polysleep mattress but comes at a much lower price – just $799 for a Queen.
When it comes to performance, the Douglas Original wins in nearly every category. It offers better temperature control and pressure relief. For motion isolation and edge support, the Douglas Original is just slightly better. However, there are a few areas where Polysleep prevails. Polysleelp scores better in ease of movement and bounce, which may be important for some sleepers.
Polysleep vs Endy

The Endy is an all-foam mattress that is known for its extreme motion isolation. This mattress also uses open-cell foam for temperature control and motion isolation, and there are quite a few areas where it performs a bit better than the Polysleep mattress.
It offers slightly better temperature control, edge support, and bounce. It’s also easier to move around on the Endy mattress, and our testers had no issues changing positions. The Polysleep wins in motion isolation, as it tested a little better. Polysleep also offers better pressure relief by quite a large margin, which can be ideal for side sleepers and heavier sleepers. A final note is the price – the Endy is much less expensive at just $895 for a Queen.
Should You Buy the Polysleep Mattress?
The Polysleep mattress is a budget option that comes with a 100-night sleep trial. This sleep trial is risk-free, and it’s easy to return the mattress if you don’t like it. These factors, plus the outstanding performance across most areas, make the Polysleep mattress a good choice for many. If you are still on the fence about it, you can always try it before you commit. Plus, the price point is more than acceptable for the performance that it offers.
Highlights of the Polysleep Mattress
The Polysleep mattress has a lot of great highlights, including better motion isolation and edge support than most bed in a box mattresses. It’s easy to move around on this mattress because the materials respond so quickly, so you can move around as much as you need to find the most comfortable position. It has good temperature control and pressure relief. Though other mattresses may score higher in these categories, they rarely have the same level of performance across the board in other areas.
Areas for Improvement
There are just a few areas where the Polysleep mattress could improve. It doesn’t offer a lot of bounce, which may be because it has such great motion isolation. It also doesn’t seem to use eco-conscious materials or processes, which may be a deterrent for some Canadians. Finally, the company policies need an update. Most sleep trials are 365 nights now, and most warranties cover at least 15 years. These policies may make it difficult to choose the Polysleep over a mattress at the same price point.
Our Recommendations for the Polysleep Mattress
Through the results of our testing and feedback from our teams, we can recommend the Polysleep mattress to side sleepers and back sleepers. Couples and co-sleepers will find that this mattress does a good job of isolating motion, too. If you need a cooler mattress, you may be able to find some relief here. It’s also fairly competent at relieving pressure to keep you comfortable throughout the night. If you sleep near the edge of the bed, this mattress can also reduce discomfort or sagging there.
