Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns
Octave uses FedEx to provide free shipping directly to customers’ doors throughout most parts of Canada. Additional fees may apply for some remote locations. The order ships by ground from Ontario or Alberta, so you should receive your mattress in 3–10 business days.
Octave arrives in a recycled cardboard box and is wrapped in two layers of heavy-duty recycled plastic for added protection. Once unrolled, the Octave fully expands in a couple of minutes and is ready to sleep on the same day it’s delivered.
The 365-night sleep trial is one of the longest in Canada. The company also arranges to pick up returns for free within the sleep trial period, and they’ll issue a full refund if you aren’t completely happy with your purchase.
Octave Mattress Construction
Designed with a medium-firm feel, the Canadian-made Octave Vista has 3 layers of premium foams that provide the perfect mix of cooling, cushioning, and support.
- Layer 1: Octave Vista’s top (comfort) layer is 2″ of copper-infused memory foam treated with PolarMAX® phase-change material for temperature balancing. This layer is designed to pull heat and sweat away from your body for a cooler sleep. Copper is a natural conductor and antimicrobial metal, which is intended to maintain the cleanliness of the mattress.
- Layer 2: The responsive, body-contouring transition layer is 2″ premium Elastex® foam that has the same springy feel as natural latex. Its additional bounce makes it easier for you to shift positions in the bed for a more comfortable sleep.
- Layer 3: Octave’s support layer is 8″ of high-density, multi-zone support foam. This ultra-durable layer has five pressure-relief zones to support every area of your body. It also has breathable air channels to let warm air escape and allow cooler air to enter the mattress.
Octave Vista’s top cover features CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibres, which provides a refreshingly cool feel and wicks away moisture from your body throughout the night. The top cover is also machine washable for easy cleaning.

MattressReviews.ca commissions licensed third-party engineers and uses public data to rate mattresses on over 30 criteria.
This allows us to accurately rate and compare the performance of the mattresses reviewed on this website. Engineer independence and operating standards help ensure their results remain unbiased, valid, and reliable. Each mattress was evaluated using the same strict mattress testing methodology to protect the overall integrity of the results. The full report has been given the official stamp of approval from an APEGA-certified engineer operating under a strict ethical code of conduct.
Mattress testing conducted outside of this professional standard poses a greater risk of validity errors or reviewer bias.
6.8 /10
Firmness
In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), Octave Vista scored 6.8/10 for firmness. This rating places it on the firmer side of the medium-firm category. This is ideal if you need a mattress that’s comfortable and supportive at all times, whether you’re sleeping on your side, back, or stomach.
7.5 /10
Edge Support
Many foam mattresses don’t offer good edge support—but Octave Vista stands out with a score of 7.5/10. You can sit comfortably on the edge of the bed, and you’ll have no trouble getting up in the morning.
7.3 /10
Motion Isolation
Foam mattresses tend to provide high motion isolation. This makes them a great choice if you share your bed with a partner, kids, or pets. Octave Vista has an excellent motion isolation score of 7.3/10, meaning you shouldn’t notice a restless partner’s movements during the night.
3.7 /10
Bounce
Octave Vista scored a 3.7/10 for bounce, partly thanks to its high motion isolation. A lower level of bounce is common for foam mattresses and can help ensure you get a good night’s sleep.
Company Background
Octave is the next step in the evolution of Novosbed, one of Canada’s first bed-in-a-box brands.

Octave has applied this deep experience and history of innovation to develop Canada’s best cooling mattress.
Octave Vista, Mirage, and Horizon are are designed with advanced cooling features like temperature-regulating fabrics, copper-infused memory foam to dissipate heat, and phase-change material for temperature balance. Octave also offers exceptional motion isolation and pressure relief, resulting in an even greater sleep experience than Novosbed.
- Octave Vista provides an intensely cooling sleep experience with a CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibre cover, copper-infused memory foam treated with PolarMAX® phase-change material for temperature balance, and multi-zone support foam with air channels for breathability and temperature control.
- Octave Mirage builds on these advanced features with an additional layer of aerated latex foam, which is filled with hundreds of vents for improved cooling and breathability.
- Octave Horizon provides the ultimate cooling experience with an added layer of ecoLuxe® cooling gel foam, which cushions and conforms to your body for your most comfortable night’s sleep ever.

I sleep much deeper and more restfully. I also don’t have back pain anymore which has been a chronic problem for quite some time. Best decision I made!

From the moment my head hit the pillow I slept straight through the night and straight through my alarm which I’ve never done before. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a good night sleep!
