Octave's Most Popular Upgrade Delivers Next-Level Cooling
Octave is the next step in the evolution of Novosbed, one of the top-rated mattress brands for owner satisfaction. The Octave brand is backed by over a decade of experience, research, and customer insights. The Octave lineup includes three mattresses: the entry-level Octave Vista, the upgraded Octave Mirage, and the top-tier Octave Horizon, which provides the ultimate in cooling, comfort, and support.
Octave mattresses are engineered in Canada and come with leading-edge temperature control features. These features counteract the heat-trapping properties of memory foam to provide a cool, comfortable sleep all night long. Octave Mirage’s upgraded cooling technology includes:
- A cool-to-the-touch CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibre cover
- Heat-dissipating CopperGel™ memory foam
- Temperature-balancing PolarMAX® infusion
- Aerated latex foam with hundreds of breathable vents for optimal airflow
- Premium open-cell foam for pressure-point relief
- Continuous ventilation from support foam air channels
Octave Mirage offers more cooling features than Octave Vista, at a lower price point than the Octave Horizon. Mirage also provides enhanced pressure relief and motion isolation for a more comfortable, elevated sleep experience. At an appealing price of $1,199 for a queen size, the Octave Mirage mattress is well worth the upgrade.

Excellent Comfort and Support

First Impressions: Out of the Box
Arrival & Unboxing
Octave orders ship free throughout all major cities in Canada, and usually arrive within 1–6 business days of being shipped. There may be added delivery fees and longer timelines for some remote regions.
Your Octave Mirage mattress will be delivered to your door in a white cardboard box that two people can easily carry. We recommend not unboxing your mattress until it’s been moved—still in the box—to the room where it will be set up.
Once the box is in place, carefully cut open the cardboard, lay the box sideways, remove the vacuum-sealed mattress bag, and lay the mattress on your bed frame. Then remove the outer plastic bag, unroll the mattress, and remove the inner plastic. (You can recycle the box, but per the Octave website, keep the bags for the full 365 nights of your sleep trial, just in case you need to return your Octave.)
Mirage expands to its full height within 3 minutes. The website recommends waiting at least 30 minutes before sleeping on the newly unboxed mattress. Mirage should achieve its full comfort level within 24 hours. Like all beds in a box, the mattress will feel slightly softer on unboxing day while it’s still expanding to its intended height and firmness.
Look & Feel
Octave Mirage is cool to the touch, thanks to the CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibres in the top cover—twice the cooling nanofibre thread count of Mirage’s entry-level counterpart, Vista.
Every Octave Mirage mattress cover features a swirling blue-grey pattern that’s unique to the mattress, with no two mattresses looking exactly the same. This pattern is placed on a white background with waterfall edges. The removable, machine-washable cover connects to the navy blue base with a sturdy, yet stylish, zipper.
In a notable personal touch, every Octave mattress is also marked with the CEO’s signature to show the company’s commitment to a good night’s sleep.
Octave Mattress Review: How Engineers Scored the Octave Mirage
The following results were determined by licensed 3rd-party engineers, commissioned by us:
To be able to accurately rate and compare the performance of the mattresses reviewed on this website, it was necessary to hire licensed 3rd-party engineers. Their independence and operating standards help to ensure the results remain unbiased, valid, and reliable. Each mattress was evaluated using the same strict methodology to protect the overall integrity of the results. The full report is linked below and has been given the official stamp of approval from an APEGA-certified engineer operating under a strict ethical code of conduct.
*Be advised: Mattress testing conducted outside of this professional standard poses a greater risk of validity errors or reviewer bias.*
How Our Engineers Test Each Mattress:
| Test Scores | Octave |
|---|---|
| Firmness: | 5.5 / 10 |
| Edge support: | 6.8 / 10 |
| Motion isolation: | 7.3 / 10 |
| Bounce: | 3.2 / 10 |
Feel & Firmness
Octave Mirage delivers a medium-firm feel with improved support and pressure-point relief. With a firmness score of 5.5 / 10, Mirage provides comfort and support for all sleep styles.
Mirage features a layer of premium open-cell Elastex® foam designed to target pressure points in your shoulders, back, and hips. The bottom layer of support foam also includes five pressure-relief zones to promote spinal alignment.
Edge Support
Lower edge support is common among foam mattresses in comparison to innerspring or hybrid mattresses. However, the Mirage performs well with an above-average score of 6.8 / 10.
Sleepers should have no difficulty getting out of bed, even if mobility issues are a concern.
Motion Isolation
Memory foam mattresses tend to score well for motion isolation. Octave Mirage delivers in this area with an above-average motion isolation score of 7.3 / 10.
If you’re looking to sleep more deeply with fewer disturbances from a restless partner, kids, or pets, Mirage is a good choice.
Bounce
Like many memory foam mattresses, Octave Mirage has a low amount of bounce with a score of 3.2 / 10. This score is the lowest in the Octave product line and is a nice side effect of Mirage’s above-average motion isolation.
However, the mattress’s latex foam layer and the premium Elastex® foam layer are springy and resilient. This helps you avoid that “stuck” feeling so you can change sleep positions more easily—no extra bounce required.

Mattress Layers
The 13” Octave Mirage mattress contains four layers of specialty memory foam, with advanced cooling features integrated throughout.
- Comfort Layer: The top layer of Octave Mirage is 2.5″ of CopperGel™ memory foam, infused with moisture-wicking PolarMAX® phase-change material. This high-performance layer adapts to your changing skin temperature throughout the night to pull heat and sweat away from your body, giving you a cooler, more comfortable sleep. Copper is an antimicrobial metal, which helps reduce bacteria and keep your mattress clean.
- Second Layer: The second layer of Octave Mirage contains 1.5” of aerated latex foam, with hundreds of air vents for optimal airflow, giving the mattress even better cooling and breathability.
- Transition Layer: The responsive, body-contouring middle layer is composed of 2″ premium Elastex® foam that feels like natural latex. It adds a little extra bounce to your sleep so you can shift positions more easily.
- Support Layer: Octave Mirage’s bottom support layer is constructed from 7” of high-density, motion-isolating support foam to help you stay asleep, even with a restless partner. This five-zone layer provides added support beneath your back, shoulders, and hips. It also contains air channels to let warm air escape and fresh air flow through.
Mattress Cover
Octave Mirage’s top cover can be removed using the zipper and is machine washable. The cover is cool to the touch and contains twice the CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibres as the entry-level Octave Vista mattress.

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns

|---|---|
| Courier: | FedEx |
| Shipping cost: | Free |
| Shipping time: | 3–10 business days |
| Sleep trial length: | 365 nights |
| Return ease: | Company picks up; full refund |

You can buy Octave Mirage through the company’s Canadian website at OctaveSleep.ca. Your order should arrive within 1–6 business days after it’s shipped, depending on where in Canada you live.
You don’t need to be home to wait for delivery, and you shouldn’t need to sign for your order unless you live in Quebec or pay with PayPal or Affirm. If you live in a remote location, FedEx may transfer your package to a local courier for final delivery, and there may be additional shipping fees as a result.
Octave is delivered in a white cardboard box that describes the mattress inside. It also includes information about the company’s 365-night sleep trial and the associated return policy. You can recycle the box, but it’s a good idea to keep the bags the mattress was shipped in for the full 365 nights of your sleep trial, just in case you need to return your Octave.
If you aren’t completely satisfied with your mattress, you can return Octave Mirage in its original plastic bag for a full refund. Any new mattress has a bit of a break-in period, so the company asks you to try out the mattress for at least 30 days to see if it will achieve the desired firmness and comfort level. Octave’s customer support will arrange mattress pickup and donate your returned mattress to a local charity.
