Polysleep Mattress Construction
All foams used in the Polysleep mattress are CertiPUR-US® certified, but it only incorporates a few cooling features, like open-cell foam and perforations in the comfort layer. Hot sleepers might prefer a mattress like Douglas Original for its cooling gel foam.
Mattress Layers
At 10" tall, the Polysleep features 3 foam layers: one for comfort, one transition layer, and one for support. The Polysleep mattress also has a 7.5″ firm foam encasement around its perimeter. This design adds extra stability for sitting or sleeping near the edge, and likely contributes to its standout edge support score.
- 1st Layer: A 2.5" layer of Polysleep's open-cell viscoelastic hybrid foam is antimicrobial, hypoallergenic, and aerated to help extra heat escape.
- 2nd Layer: 2" of transition foam acts as a buffer between the softer top layer and the firmer base layer. It helps prevent you from sinking too deeply into the mattress or from feeling the support foam.
- 3rd Layer: A 5.5" layer of high-density foam makes up the base of the mattress, giving it structure and stopping sinkage for better support while lying down.
Mattress Cover
All Polysleep mattresses feature the brand's two signature colours: purple and white. The Polysleep uses a simple design with a white removable top portion and purple fabric base, separated by a black zipper. The brand name is also stitched into the top cover.
The Polysleep mattress cover is made from a blend of polyviscose, polyester, and a small amount of spandex. The cover is removable, machine washable, and, according to Polysleep, water-resistant. It's made to be breathable, but it doesn't have any added cooling features.
Mattress Testing
To ensure our mattress reviews are thorough and trustworthy, we buy the products ourselves and have them tested by independent licensed engineers (commissioned by us) with no stake in the results.
These third-party engineers apply a consistent testing process to every mattress using a detailed framework. Every mattress is tested the same way, whether it's foam or hybrid. Because these types perform differently, we rate them on separate scales to ensure the scores are fair and meaningful.
We believe independent testing is essential to producing reliable and meaningful comparisons. That's why all test results are reviewed and signed off by an APEGA-certified engineer, operating under a strict code of ethics.
We use the testing results and over 40 criteria to build our scoring methodology.
Tests and reviews without this level of professional oversight may be more prone to errors and unintended bias.

Delivery & Other Policies
Note: The following information previously applied to The Polysleep. However, as of February 2025, The Polysleep is no longer available to purchase through the company's website. The mattress is only available in-store through individual approved retailers. Shipping, sleep trial, and return policies will vary by supplier.
Polysleep mattresses ship via UPS and FedEx. Delivery usually takes between 4–9 business days, including processing time. Shipping is free in most parts of Canada, but an additional fee may apply for remote areas such as Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.
The Polysleep mattress comes with a standard 100-night sleep trial, which gives you some time to decide if it's the right fit. That said, this trial doesn't apply to customers in the Canadian territories. Before starting a return, you have to sleep on the mattress for at least 45 nights. If you decide to return it, a non-refundable $89.95 administrative fee (plus tax) will be deducted from your refund.
Exchanges are allowed, but only once. If you choose a more expensive replacement model, you'll pay the difference, and you won't receive a new trial period with the replacement. If you keep the mattress, it's backed by a 10-year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects. Polysleep doesn't say whether the warranty covers any damage that might happen during shipping.
In comparison, there are several other brands that offer more customer-friendly sleep trial and return policies. If you're looking for an extended trial and a longer warranty, consider Douglas Original. It comes with a 365-night sleep trial, a 20-year warranty, and free returns with full refunds; no additional fees or deductions.
Company Overview
Founded in 2016, Polysleep is a Canadian company based in Quebec that has historically offered most of its retail services online. More recently, Polysleep has started partnering with brick-and-mortar retailers to sell its mattresses in-store. Some models, like The Polysleep and Zephyr 2.0, are now in-person exclusives and aren't for sale online anymore.
Customer Reviews & Feedback
Third-party review sites like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Trustpilot collect and publish customer feedback about companies and their products, and aren't controlled by the companies being reviewed. They offer a snapshot of overall customer satisfaction and highlight common issues shoppers might face. Checking ratings on sites like these can be a useful way for customers to make more informed purchasing decisions.
Polysleep has 3.5/5 stars on its unclaimed Trustpilot profile, but there aren't any reviews to go with that rating. The lack of company information and customer reviews on third-party consumer trust websites isn't typical for an online brand and makes it hard to evaluate what customers are saying about their experience with Polysleep.

What does the Polysleep warranty cover?
Polysleep includes a 10-year limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects. It doesn't cover accidental damage, and it's not clear if shipping-related issues are included.
Do Polysleep mattresses need a special bed frame?
Polysleep recommends using its mattresses with the Polysleep Foundation, but they're also compatible with most bed frames, including slatted bases, platform beds, and adjustable bases.
What Polysleep mattress alternatives should I consider?
Douglas Original is worth considering if you're looking for a feature-rich mattress at a lower-than-average price.

All the content on our site, from product reviews to comparisons, is intended to provide general information to help guide your mattress search. We work with independent third-party engineers to test all mattress products we purchase, and we use the test results alongside public data to inform our reviews and comparisons.
The product details in each review reflect how the mattress performed at the time we purchased and tested it, as shown by the "Published" date.
Since brands can update their materials, pricing, or availability over time, we also note when the product was originally purchased, either directly in the article or on our disclaimer page, to maintain clarity and transparency.
If you see an "Updated" tag on a page with a more recent date than the published date, it simply means we've made editorial changes. It does not necessarily indicate any update to the mattress or its test data.
Finally, unless otherwise stated, any mention of where a mattress is made refers specifically to the product we received and tested.
