Product Details
Octave Mirage is a 4-layer, medium-firm memory foam mattress made in Canada. Mirage is equipped with advanced temperature-regulating and recovery technology to help you enjoy a cool, comfortable, rejuvenating night’s sleep. According to the brand, 78% of customers said they noticed better physical, mental, and emotional health since they started sleeping on an Octave mattress.
Mirage has a moisture-wicking cover to draw sweat away from your body, as well as breathable ventilated support foam, aerated latex foam for air circulation, and phase-change material that adapts to seasonal temperature changes. The memory foam layer is also infused with antimicrobial copper, carrying excess heat away from your body and promoting a clean, fresh sleep environment.
Octave Mirage’s innovative five-zoned support system cushions your back, hips, and knees for consistent ergonomic support. You’ll also notice the mattress contouring around you, thanks to layers of high-density memory foam, aerated latex foam, and responsive Elastex® foam.
While you sleep, Mirage supports your body’s natural recovery by reducing strain and tension, relieving pressure points in your joints and muscles, improving blood flow, and keeping your spine properly aligned. With the right support, your body can recover and rejuvenate as you sleep, helping prevent long-term issues associated with poor sleep posture.
Octave Mirage is backed by a generous 15-year warranty and comes with a 365-night risk-free sleep trial. That way you can test out the mattress at home and make sure it gives you your best night’s sleep.
Ideal For: Back Sleepers, Side Sleepers, Stomach Sleepers

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns
FedEx will deliver Octave Mirage directly to your door for free, in most areas in Canada. Additional fees may apply for some remote locations and delivery vendors might differ. The mattress ships from Ontario or Alberta, and you should receive it within 3–10 business days, including dispatch and delivery time.
Octave Mirage arrives in a cardboard box. It’s wrapped in two layers of heavy-duty plastic for extra protection. After you remove the plastic, Octave Mirage expands to its full 13″ height in minutes. You can sleep on the mattress the same day it’s delivered.
Octave has one of the longest sleep trials in Canada at 365 nights. In comparison, industry-standard sleep trials are just 100 nights. This year-long sleep trial gives customers ample time to evaluate the mattress’s performance all year round and decide if it’s the perfect fit for them. You can try it out in the comfort of your home, and if you’re unsatisfied, Octave will pick up returns for free and issue a full refund within the trial period.

Octave Mirage Mattress Construction
The Octave Mirage mattress is a 13″ memory foam mattress with 4 distinct layers engineered for cushioned, contoured support and pressure-point relief. All foam used is CertiPUR-US® certified. This certification is given to products that are made with non-toxic materials, and it’s often expected by customers who are looking for a healthy sleep surface.
- 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.
Octave Mirage’s mattress cover is made with CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibres and moisture-wicking material to help keep you dry and comfortable throughout the night. The 360-degree zipper allows you to remove your mattress cover and machine-wash it, helping keep your mattress fresh and clean for longer.
All Octave mattresses are made with high-end materials and premium foams for engineered comfort and superior durability. A mattress’s expected lifespan is usually indicated by the warranty length, and Octave’s 15-year warranty is longer than average. This means your Octave mattress will likely give you a good night’s sleep for many years.

MattressReviews.ca commissions licensed third-party engineers and uses public data to rate mattresses on over 40 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.
5.5 /10
Firmness
In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), Octave Mirage scored 5.5/10 for firmness. This score places it on the softer side of the medium-firm category, so it’s ideal for all sleep styles and positions. This mattress offers a plush hugging sensation for a cozy sleep, but its five-zone support system ensures you also get robust support beneath your back, hips, and knees.
6.8 /10
Edge Support
Lower edge support is common when you’re looking at foam mattresses. However, Octave Mirage provides above-average edge support for a foam mattress with a score of 6.8/10. This added edge support is due to the high-density foam layer with multi-zoned support. You’ll have no trouble sitting on the edge of the bed, sleeping near the side, or getting up in the morning.
7.3 /10
Motion Isolation
Octave Mirage has excellent motion isolation with a score of 7.3/10. If your sleep is often disturbed by a restless partner, kids, or pets, you’ll love how Octave Mirage’s foam layers provide a cushioning effect to cancel out movement for a deeper, uninterrupted sleep. In fact, according to the brand, 95% of customers were satisfied with the overall quality of their sleep since switching to the Octave mattress.
3.2 /10
Bounce
Bounce is a matter of personal preference. While low bounce helps you get a more restful sleep, high bounce makes it easier to change sleep positions. Octave Mirage scored a 3.2/10 for bounce—the lowest in the Octave product line. This is good news if you like a steady sleep surface for a more satisfying sleep. That said, Mirage’s responsive layers of latex and Elastex® foams ensure you’re still able to change positions while you sleep.
7.7 /10
Cooling Features
The Octave Mirage mattress incorporates more advanced cooling features than the entry-level Octave Vista. Each layer works together to balance your temperature perfectly throughout the night. Octave Mirage earns points for its:
- Top cover made with CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibres for an instant cool-to-touch feel
- CopperGel™ infused memory foam for enhanced heat dissipation
- PolarMAX® phase-change material that adapts to body temperature and prevents heat retention
- Layer of aerated latex that features hundreds of vents for optimal air circulation and temperature regulation
- Layer of Elastex®, a breathable latex-like foam that ensures good air circulation
- Support layer with air channels that facilitate proper airflow, keeping the entire mattress cool and moisture-free
Looking for a contouring memory foam mattress that won’t cause overheating? With its advanced cooling technologies, Octave Mirage is the perfect choice at just $1,199 for a queen size.

Company Background
Octave is the next step in the evolution of Novosbed, one of Canada’s first bed-in-a-box brands. Founded in 2009, Novosbed was the first company to offer a 100-night sleep trial. This was later extended to 365 nights. Octave has applied this deep experience and history of innovation to develop Canada’s best mattress for a good night’s sleep.
Octave Vista, Mirage, and Horizon are engineered with advanced features like temperature-regulating materials, antibacterial copper-infused memory foam to keep your mattress fresh, and five-zoned support to promote proper spinal alignment while you sleep. Octave also offers exceptional motion isolation and pressure-point relief, resulting in an even greater sleep experience than Novosbed.
- Octave Vista provides a restful and restorative 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 to relieve body aches and pain.
- Octave Mirage builds on Vista’s advanced features with an additional layer of aerated latex foam, which is filled with hundreds of vents for improved responsiveness and breathability. Its cover also has twice the moisture-wicking nanofibres as Vista. Mirage’s upgraded motion isolation, cooling, and pressure-point relief provide an even more comfortable and rejuvenating sleep.
- Octave Horizon provides the ultimate personalized sleep experience with thicker foam layers and an added layer of ecoLuxe® cooling gel foam, which cushions and conforms to your body for your most comfortable night’s sleep ever. Its cover has the most moisture-wicking nanofibres of any Octave mattress, and its interior is meticulously engineered to give top-tier relief to your sore muscles and joints.
If you have any neck, back, or shoulder pain, [Octave] is the best bed you can buy. Once you work it in, it’ll curve to your body and you’ll be pain-free and have a great sleep.

Tried other mattresses in a box and this is by far the best. Also tried top-of-line Tempur-Pedic memory foam and the Octave is the sweet spot of affordability and function. Would purchase again.

This is my second mattress from this company. They were recommended as a way to improve my sleep which gets interrupted because of pain, and it really helps.

I tried two other foam mattress brands. Octave has superior quality in materials used. By far the best comfort and support for back pain and sleep quality. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Octave mattress cover machine washable?
Yes, you can machine-wash your Octave mattress cover. Use the 360° zipper to remove the top cover, and run the cover through your washing machine on a gentle cycle. You can then air-dry, tumble-dry, or machine-dry the cover on low heat. The top cover quickly reattaches to the mattress with the zipper.
What does the Octave warranty cover?
The 15-year Octave mattress warranty covers repair or replacement in case of manufacturer errors.
What happens to returned Octave mattresses?
Returned Octave mattresses are donated to nearby community organizations or picked up by a local recycling partner, depending on regional restrictions.
Where is the Octave Mirage mattress made?
Octave Mirage is manufactured in Ontario and Alberta, Canada.
Does the Octave Mirage mattress need a special frame?
Octave Mirage works with any foundation, like an adjustable bed, solid foundation, or slatted base. Your Octave Mirage mattress will weigh at least 48 lb, so your bed frame must be sturdy enough to support both the mattress and your weight. You can buy a compatible foundation directly from Octave when you purchase your mattress.
Is Octave Mirage eco-conscious?
Octave’s mattress cover and layers were independently tested to make sure they’re safe and eco-conscious.
- The top cover fabric was independently tested for harmful substances according to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® (SH025 194423).
- Each foam layer is CertiPUR-US® certified, meaning it meets high standards for emissions, content, performance, and durability.
How much does the Octave Mirage mattress cost?
Octave Mirage pricing ranges from $899 to $1,399, depending on the size you choose. A queen-size Octave Mirage is available for $1,199.
What makes Octave Mirage different from Octave Vista?
Octave Mirage is an upgrade from Octave Vista. Mirage offers better pressure-point relief, support, and temperature regulation. Its top cover has twice as much cooling thread as the entry-level model, with an extra half-inch of memory foam in the top layer for even more body-cushioning comfort. Mirage also has an added 1.5″ layer of aerated latex for greater cushioning, body contouring, and air circulation.
However, Octave Vista is still an excellent entry-level memory foam mattress. It provides many of the same cooling and comfort features for a rejuvenating sleep, all for a lower price tag of just $899 for a queen size.
Either option can be right for your needs. Octave offers different mattresses with a medium-firm feel, multi-layered construction, and varying levels of premium comfort. With an Octave mattress, you can enjoy a balanced and restorative sleep environment that supports your body’s natural recovery process.
What makes Octave Mirage different from Octave Horizon?
Octave Horizon is the best Octave mattress available, with greater body contouring, motion isolation, and cooling features than Vista or Mirage. It contains a 2″ layer of cooling gel foam for cushioning and temperature-regulation, a layer of aerated latex foam, and the most cooling nanofibres of any Octave mattress. At $1,499 for a queen size, Octave Horizon comes with the highest price tag—but is still much more affordable than many premium mattresses.
While either mattress is a great choice depending on your sleep needs, Horizon’s added features make it an excellent upgrade and smart investment.
