Which Is Better: Octave Vista, Mirage or Horizon?

Getting the restful sleep you deserve can be a challenge, even though it’s an essential part of your well-being. Luckily, Octave makes it easy. With the evolution of the Novosbed brand, Octave mattresses are designed from the ground up to give you a deeper, more rejuvenating sleep—without straining your budget.

The company’s entry-level model, Octave Vista, features great motion isolation, ergonomic five-zoned support to relieve sore muscles and joints, and advanced cooling technologies to keep you asleep at just the right temperature. It was even named our top pick for Best Mattress for Back Pain. The upgraded versions, Octave Mirage and Octave Horizon have thicker top layers, aerated latex foam, and more cooling capabilities for an even more restorative sleep experience.

Octave mattresses come with a 365-night sleep trial—one of the longest in the industry—and a generous 15-year warranty. Octave mattresses start at just $599, giving you a restful sleep at an accessible price. All Octave mattresses ship with a free bedding bundle, and you have the option for hassle-free returns with a full refund if you aren’t completely satisfied.

If you’re looking for a mattress to help you sleep better at night and relieve body stress, Octave Vista is a great choice. But if you have a slightly larger budget and want more ergonomic support, pressure-point relief, and cooling, Mirage and Horizon are also excellent options.

Firmness

All Octave mattresses fall into the medium-firm category, but there’s quite a bit of difference in how they feel. Octave Vista earned a firmness score of 6.8/10, making it the firmest mattress in Octave’s lineup. Mirage is on the softer end of medium-firm, coming in at 5.5/10. Octave Horizon falls roughly in the middle, scoring 6.0/10 for firmness.

However, with Octave’s highly engineered five-zoned support system for ergonomic pressure-point relief, you’ll sleep comfortably on any Octave mattress, no matter your sleep style.

 

Edge Support

Foam mattresses can often have lower edge support compared to hybrid or innerspring mattresses. Octave mattresses stand out with all-around great edge support. Octave Vista scored 7.5/10 for edge support, while both Mirage and Horizon scored 6.8/10. Although this is lower than Vista’s score, you can sit on or sleep close to the edge of any Octave mattress and get out of bed with no problem.

 

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation is important for a good night’s sleep, especially if you wake up easily during the night. Octave mattresses shine here. Both Vista and Mirage have motion isolation scores of 7.3/10, while Horizon scores even higher at 7.6/10. No matter which Octave mattress you sleep on, you won’t feel most disturbances from the other side of the bed.

 

Bounce

Bounce is a matter of preference. That said, lower bounce scores help provide a more consistent sleep surface. Octave Vista earned a bounce score of 3.7/10, while Octave Mirage had a lower bounce score of 3.2/10. Octave Horizon scored highest with a bounce score of 3.8/10. However, this is still well below average for a foam mattress.

When paired with Octave’s impression motion isolation scores, any of these bounce levels should help reinforce uninterrupted sleep. At the same time, you won’t feel “stuck” in an Octave mattress, thanks to the layers of responsive Elastex® foam that make it easy to change positions. Mirage and Horizon also include layers of latex foam for even more responsiveness.

 

Cooling Features

Octave Vista earned a cooling features score of 7.2/10 due to its moisture-wicking CryoFusion® cooling nanofibre cover, copper-infused memory foam, Elastex® foam layer for added breathability, PolarMAX® phase-change material for temperature balance, and air channels carved into its support layer.

Octave Mirage earned a slightly higher cooling features score of 7.7/10, having all of Vista’s cooling features as well as a layer of aerated latex for optimal air circulation. Horizon earned 8.7/10—the highest cooling feature score we’ve ever awarded. Horizon has all of Mirage’s cooling features, plus an additional layer of cooling gel foam for even more active heat dissipation.

Octave mattresses are all memory foam mattresses. Octave Vista is 12″ tall and has 3 interior layers, Octave Mirage is 13″ tall and has 4 interior layers, and Octave Horizon is 14″ tall and has 5 interior layers.

All Octave mattresses come with machine-washable top covers. This cover is woven with CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibres. In addition to actively dissipating heat while you sleep, the cover also wicks moisture away from your skin.

 

Octave Vista Mattress Layers

  • Layer 1: Octave Vista’s top (comfort) layer is 2″ of CopperGel™ memory foam treated with PolarMAX® phase-change material, which adapts to seasonal temperature changes. This layer contours around your body, providing immediate relief from strain on your muscles and joints. Copper is also an antimicrobial metal and helps promote a clean, fresh sleep surface while transferring heat away from your body.
  • Layer 2: Vista’s transition layer is 2″ of premium Elastex® foam, which is designed to be breathable and responsive. This specialized foam layer has the same springy feel as natural latex with the same pressure-relieving feel. The added bounce also makes it easier for you to change sleep positions.
  • Layer 3: The support layer is 8″ of high-density foam divided into a unique five-zoned support system. This layer provides contouring support for your body, with added support beneath your back, hips, and knees. This innovative design reduces discomfort and stiffness while caring for your body and aiding in its natural recovery.

 

Octave Mirage Mattress Layers

  • Layer 1: Octave Mirage’s comfort layer is 2.5″ of CopperGel™ memory foam. This layer is treated with PolarMAX® phase-change material, which reacts to your changing skin temperature to keep your body comfortable. Copper is also an antimicrobial metal and helps promote cleanliness in the mattress’s top layer while drawing heat away from your body.
  • Layer 2: Octave Mirage has a 1.5″ layer of aerated latex foam. This responsive material contours to your body and helps support you in any sleeping position, while also making it easy to move around or get out of bed.
  • Layer 3: The mattress’s transition layer is 2″ of premium Elastex® foam. This proprietary material offers a cushiony yet responsive feel. Its open-cell construction promotes breathability, keeping you at the perfect temperature throughout the night.
  • Layer 4: Octave Mirage’s support layer is 7″ of high-density, multi-zone support foam. This carefully engineered layer contains five distinct pressure-relief zones to help cushion sensitive areas, provide robust support where you need it most, and keep your spine properly aligned while you sleep.

In addition to the same design features seen in Octave Vista, Octave Mirage incorporates a layer of aerated latex to add more cooling, responsiveness, and airflow.

 

Octave Horizon Mattress Layers

  • Layer 1: Octave Horizon’s comfort layer is 2.5″ of CopperGel™ memory foam. Copper is an antimicrobial metal that promotes cleanliness in the mattress’s top layer for a fresh sleep surface. This layer is also enhanced with PolarMAX® phase-change material. The material reacts to your changing skin temperature to keep your body comfortable, letting you enjoy a deeper, more restorative sleep.
  • Layer 2: Horizon has a 1.5″ layer of aerated latex. This responsive foam layer contains hundreds of air vents, which allow for high ventilation and temperature control to maintain an optimal sleep environment while offering plenty of support.
  • Layer 3: This layer is 2″ of ecoLuxe® cooling gel foam. This layer absorbs heat from the upper layers while contouring around your body to provide pressure-point relief and reduce muscle tension.
  • Layer 4: The mattress’s transition layer is 2″ of premium Elastex® foam. This proprietary material feels just like natural body-cushioning latex. It also adds extra bounce that helps you change positions more easily without disturbing your partner.
  • Layer 5: Octave Horizon’s support layer is 6″ of high-density support foam. It has five pressure-relief zones engineered to provide ergonomic support for your hips, back, and knees, providing proper spinal alignment and reducing pressure points. The foam also includes air channels for extra-cooling airflow.

Octave Horizon improves on Octave Mirage’s construction by adding an additional layer of cooling gel-infused foam to add even more heat-dissipating pressure-point relief.
