Product Details
Octave Vista is a 3-layer memory foam mattress that provides the perfect mix of cooling, cushioning, and support. These layers of breathable Elastex® foam and copper-infused memory foam treated with PolarMAX™ phase-change material will help maintain the perfect sleep temperature, allowing you to wake up feeling rested and ready to face a new day.
Vista’s innovative design effectively reduces discomfort and stiffness while caring for your body and aiding in its natural recovery. Because of its innovative five-zoned support system, Octave Vista provides consistent ergonomic support beneath your back, hips, and knees. In fact, the brand states that 86% of customers suffering from back pain said Octave helped reduce their pain.
The mattress’s layers of high-density memory foam and responsive Elastex® foam are designed to cushion and contour around your body. This helps relieve strain and tension, reduces pressure points, promotes better blood flow, and supports proper spinal alignment so you can wake up feeling physically and mentally refreshed.
You’ll enjoy a cooler, more restful night’s sleep with Octave Vista’s temperature-regulating technology. This includes a cooling mattress cover, a layer of ventilated foam to help with air circulation, and phase-change material that adapts to seasonal temperature changes. The memory foam layer also contains antimicrobial copper, carrying heat away from your body while promoting a clean, fresh sleep surface.
The mattress’s top cover is removable and machine washable for easy cleaning and maintenance. The cover contains CryoFusion™ nanofibres that draw moisture away from your body while you sleep, helping you avoid overnight overheating and instead wake up feeling rejuvenated.
This high-quality mattress is backed by a generous 15-year warranty and comes with a 365-night risk-free sleep trial, so you can test it at home and make sure it gives you your best night’s sleep.
Ideal For: Back Sleepers, Side Sleepers, Stomach Sleepers

Octave Mattress Construction
A good night’s sleep is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle, and Octave is designed for that purpose. Designed with a medium-firm feel, the Canadian-made Octave Vista stands 12″ tall. It has 3 layers of premium foams that all work together to relieve aches and pains, keep your spine aligned while you sleep, and help you wake up feeling refreshed.
All foam used is CertiPUR-US® certified. This certification is awarded to products made with non-toxic materials, and is often expected by customers looking for a healthy sleep surface.
- 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 Vista’s removable top cover has a 360-degree zipper and is machine washable for easy cleaning. It contains CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibres, wicking moisture away throughout and helping you wake up feeling refreshed. In fact, according to the brand, 78% of customers said they noticed better physical, mental, and emotional health since they started sleeping on an Octave mattress.
All Octave mattresses are made with premium foams and high-end materials for engineered comfort and superior durability, proven by the brand’s generous 15-year warranty. Warranty length can be used to indicate a mattress’s expected lifespan, so your Octave mattress will likely give you a good night’s sleep for many years to come.

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.
6.8 /10
Firmness
In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), Octave Vista scored 6.8/10 for firmness. This score places it on the firmer side of the medium-firm category, so you should find Vista comfortable whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach. Octave’s contouring, high-density foams and five-zone support give you the support you need to enjoy a restful, satisfying sleep.
7.5 /10
Edge Support
Many foam mattresses don’t offer good edge support—but Octave Vista stands out with an excellent score of 7.5/10. This is partly because of the high-density foam layer with its multi-zoned support. 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 have 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. The mattress’s multiple layers of high-density foam contour around your body’s curves, providing a cushioning effect to prevent your partner’s movements from waking you.
You’ll also notice minimal tossing and turning since the mattress promotes balanced support and weight distribution. The brand states that 95% of customers were satisfied with the overall quality of their sleep since switching to the Octave mattress.
3.7 /10
Bounce
Bounce is a matter of personal preference. Lower bounce helps ensure a more restful sleep, while higher bounce makes it easy to change sleep positions. Octave Vista scored a below-average 3.7/10 for bounce, partly thanks to its high motion isolation. A lower level of bounce is common in foam mattresses. However, Vista’s layer of premium Elastex® foam makes it easy to change positions while still enjoying a consistent sleep surface.
7.2 /10
Cooling Features
The Octave Vista mattress features multiple advanced cooling technologies that work together to provide a comfortable, restorative sleep that lasts all night. Octave Vista earns points for its:

- PolarMAX® phase-change material that adapts to body temperature and prevents heat retention

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.

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 remove the top cover using the 360° zipper and wash it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Then it can be laid out to air dry. Alternatively, you can put it in the dryer on tumble dry or low heat. When the cover is dry, you can reattach it in seconds without lifting or moving the mattress.
What does the Octave Vista 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 mattress made?
The Octave memory foam mattress is made in Canada, with manufacturing facilities in Ontario.
Does the Octave mattress need a special frame?
You can use any sturdy, supportive, untreated foundation for your Octave mattress—for example, a platform, solid box foundation, slatted base, or adjustable bed. Foam mattresses are heavier than their coiled cousins, so make sure your bed frame can handle the extra weight.
Is the Octave mattress 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 mattress cost?
The Octave mattress costs $599–$1,199, depending on which mattress size you choose. The queen-size Octave Vista is available for $899.
What Octave mattress alternatives should I consider?
Want even more features in a memory foam mattress? Consider Octave’s two additional upgraded options: Octave Mirage and Octave Horizon.
Octave Mirage offers even more pressure-point relief, support, and temperature regulation than Octave Vista. Its cover has twice the number of cooling nanofibres for an extra-cool feel, and its interior has an extra half-inch of premium foam in the top layer for more contouring and pressure-point relief. It also features an additional layer of aerated latex, which provides a more plush feel and improved air circulation for a cooler, more comfortable sleep.
Octave Horizon is the most advanced Octave mattress available, with greater body contouring, motion isolation, and cooling features than either Vista or Mirage. It contains a 2″ layer of cooling gel foam for added cushioning and temperature regulation, as well as a layer of aerated latex foam and the most cooling nanofibres of any Octave mattress.
Choose the Octave mattress that’s right for you by selecting one of three options with multi-layered construction and varying levels of plush, premium comfort. Each has a medium-firm feel that provides a perfect balance of comfort and support, whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach. With an Octave mattress, you can enjoy a balanced and restorative sleep environment that supports your body’s natural recovery process.
