Without further ado, our Bloom Mist Mattress Review:

Following the launch of the Bloom Cloud in 2017, Sleep Country introduced the Bloom Mist and two other sibling mattresses in 2018. The move to a bed-in-a-box mattress line was a natural progression for the specialty sleep store. Known for their memorable radio jingle (“Why buy a mattress anywhere else?”), Sleep Country has now been a staple of the Canadian retail landscape since the mid-1990s.

Thanks to modern compression methods and the rising popularity of the bed-in-a-box, mattresses can now be shipped far more efficiently and conveniently than ever before. Customers no longer need to take a day off work to accept a delivery. Boxed beds are now delivered with the same convenience as most Amazon orders. Some bed-in-a-box companies even offer same-day delivery to certain areas.
Sleep Country uses the Purolator Ground shipping service to deliver the Bloom Earth mattress directly to customers’ doors across Canada. In some cases, the delivery can even be left on a porch or deck while the customer is away from home. Shipping is free to all provinces except Newfoundland and Labrador ($120 CAD surcharge), and Bloom customers can expect their new mattress to be delivered within 10 business days.
Like many bed-in-a-box companies, Sleep Country heavily promotes their Comfort Guarantee. At 100 nights, this sleep trial is average in length for the industry. Sleep Country and Bloom Mist differ in two ways from other brands in the bed-in-a-box space in regards to the limitations of their exchange policy:
- The Bloom Mist mattress can only be returned to Sleep Country for an in-store credit.
- Customers who decide to return the Bloom Mist mattress must pay an exchange fee of $65 CAD to cover delivery of the new item and removal of the returned mattress. This approach to sleep trials and returns is different from mattress lines like Douglas, who offer a 365-night trial and free returns.
It is worth noting that Mattress-Reviews.com did not complete the return process, but received this information via the ‘Live Chat’ function on Sleep Country’s website.
Bloom Mist Mattress: Out of the Box
Out of the Box | Bloom Mist, by Sleep Country |
---|---|
Delivered in a box: | Yes |

Box opening: | Scissors required |

The Bloom Mist mattress we ordered through Sleep Country’s website was delivered to us within the estimated time frame, with only minor wear and tear to the box. This is normal for mattresses delivered in a box. It’s why specialist bed-in-a-box retailers include multiple layers of durable plastic protection to compensate for any mishaps during the transit process.
The Bloom Mist mattress box was sealed well with heavy-duty tape and industrial staples. A pair of scissors or a knife is needed to open the box. To avoid damage to your new purchase, remember to be extra careful when using sharp objects to open the box. It is worth noting that the Bloom Mist mattress box has plastic handles which making moving the package a little easier.
Once opened, the compressed mattress is easy to remove from the box. We recommend a ‘tip-and-pull’ motion to slowly slide the mattress out from its cardboard container. Simply tip the box from a vertical position down onto its side, and then pull the lightweight box away from the bundled mattress. It’s most efficient to do this process in the room where you intend to use the mattress.
The Bloom Mist mattress is protected with two layers of heavy-duty plastic – a thin inner layer to keep it compressed in a vacuum seal, and a thick outer layer to keep the mattress tightly rolled in a cylinder shape.
Customers will need to slice open the outer layer in order to unroll the mattress, which will still be in its compressed form. Next, unfold the mattress and place it rightside up along the designated bed frame. Cut the final layer of plastic. The vacuum seal now broken, the mattress will begin to decompress. Remove this final layer of plastic as the mattress expands to its full height. For the 9” Bloom Mist mattress, full expansion took around 6 hours.
Bloom Mist Mattress: Construction
Construction | Bloom Mist, by Sleep Country |
---|---|
Mattress height: | 9" |
Number of layers: | 3 |
Comfort layers: | 1” gel memory foam |
Transition layer: | 1” gel memory foam |

The Bloom Mist is a 9-inch-tall combination foam mattress. By combining different foam types, densities, and firmness levels, Sleep Country has designed a configuration that offers reasonable comfort, cooling, and support.
The Bloom Mist mattress is available only in one firmness option. This is standard for the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach commonly used by bed-in-a-box companies.
Bloom Mist Mattress Layers
The Bloom Mist mattress contains three layers of foam. Like many of the memory foam mattresses on the market today, each layer of foam in the Bloom Mist mattress works with the others to provide an overall level of comfort and support.
The first layer of the Bloom Mist mattress is 1 inch of gel memory foam. This green top layer is designed to be cool enough to help regulate body temperature overnight.
The second layer of the Bloom Mist mattress is another 1 inch of gel memory foam. This transition layer provides an overall balance between the top and bottom layers, while also conforming to the shape of the body, easing pressure points, and reducing motion transfer.
The third layer is 7 inches of support base foam. This layer helps give the mattress its structure and prevents sleepers from sinking in too far. The upper region of this layer has air channels cut along the width of the mattress (featured above) to promote air circulation. It is also includes bamboo charcoal to help curb the gradual buildup of mattress odours.
Of note: Unfortunately, the density information for the layers is not available on the Sleep Country website.
Bloom Mist Mattress Cover
Like the Bloom Cloud, the Bloom Mist mattress has a unique cover design which focuses on neutral pastel colors (very similar to this website), with turquoise, soft grey, and white. Bloom mattresses are identifiable by their zipper lines along the upper perimeter of the mattress. The Bloom Mist has a white stripe connecting the washable top cover to the base fabric. A turquoise embroidered Bloom logo and emblem tag decorate the foot of the mattress.
The top cover is machine washable, which is a plus for anyone who decides not to use a mattress protector, or simply anyone who likes to keep their sleep surfaces as clean and fresh as possible. The white cover can be zipped off from the base fabric, put in the washing machine on a low heat, and air dried. One limitation we found was that the zipper does not always stay flush on the upper edge of the mattress, especially if a sleeper moves around a lot during the night. Customers initially drawn to the clean, minimalist aesthetics may find this result frustrating in practice.
The Bloom mattress is also advertised as having an ‘Organic Cotton’ washable top cover. This is a nice addition to the bed; however, we were unable to find the fabric content breakdown on the law label to validate that the cover contains organic cotton. The color of the cover was very white (almost bleached-looking), which is unusual in fabrics that are considered to be 100% organic cotton.
Bloom Mist Mattress: Environmental Sustainability
GoodMorning.com Inc. carried out a survey in February 2017, discovering that almost 50% of Canadians are willing to spend more money for more environmentally friendly products. Therefore, in every review on Mattress-Reviews.com, we will highlight each mattress company’s green philosophy, as well as how prominent their policies are on their websites.

Bloom Mist Mattress: Feel and Firmness
Feel & Firmness | Bloom Mist, by Sleep Country |

Feel: | Medium |
Firmness | 5.6 / 10 |
Edge support: | 6.6 / 10 |
Motion isolation: | 6.5 / 10 |
Bounce: | 3.1 / 10 |
Feel & Firmness
The Bloom Mist mattress has a medium level of firmness, bordering on medium-firm. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), it comes in at a 5.6 / 10 on the firmness spectrum. The Bloom Mist mattress has a bit of ‘hug,’ and the comfort layer gives it an extra degree of softness as you lie down.
Motion Isolation
Motion isolation in foam mattresses is usually very good and one of the main reasons couples make the switch from innerspring to memory foam. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Bloom Mist mattress ranked at 6.5 /10 on the motion isolation scale.
Edge Support
Foam mattresses are not known for their edge support; in fact, it is often one of the main considerations for customers who move from innerspring mattresses to foam. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Bloom Mist mattress has an edge support rating of 6.6 / 10.
Bounce
Due to the fact that motion isolation for foam mattresses is very high, bounce is usually very low. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Bloom Mist mattress ranked 3.1 / 10 on the bounce scale.

Who buys a Bloom Mist mattress?
Bloom Mist occupies the second rung of Sleep Country’s Bloom™ bed-in-a-box lineup, with two higher-priced mattresses above it. (Bloom mattress are priced at $200 increments along on the price spectrum for a queen size.) As such, Bloom shoppers will need to determine which features are essential to their purchase decision and which ones are simply nice-to-haves.
The Bloom Mist mattress ranks among the firmer of the four Bloom models currently on the market; this likely comes as a result of its thinner size and more compact top layers. At a mid-level price point, Bloom Mist sits in a price bracket between the budget bed-in-a-box companies and the higher-priced luxury memory foam mattresses. Customers who purchase a Bloom Mist mattress are less likely to prioritize the country of manufacture or CertiPUR-US® foam certification in their purchase decision.
The in-store test becomes more important as unlike most online mattress brands, there is a $65 fee for exchanging this mattress post-purchase. In-store credit is the only option for returns; customers who are choosing between the Bloom Mist and a mattress from another company are advised to first try the one with a full refund guarantee.
Buy Bloom Mist if you want:
- To stick with the Sleep Country brand
- A mid-range value memory foam mattress
- To try out the mattress in store
- The option to exchange it for another Sleep Country product
Skip Bloom Mist if you want:
- A mattress with a longer sleep trial and mattress warranty
- A foam mattress with better motion isolation
- A foam mattress with better edge support
- A free bedding bundle with your purchase
- Full refunds for mattress returns
