Canadian Sleepers Rave About Octave

Over 5,000 customers have given Octave a five-star rating

Love the New Mattress

I looked at all the usual suspects (Leesa, Casper, Purple, etc) ... I'm very happy with the purchase and sleep a lot better. My back soreness is gone and it works really well whether I sleep on my back or my side.

Gagan K. Verified Buyer
My Sleep Has Greatly Improved

My sleep has greatly improved; love the firmness and coolness.

Dana S. Verified Buyer
Fabulous!!

Wow! Love this mattress. I start to relax the minute I lay on it. I've had wonderful sleeps and wake up without aches and pains. It's fabulous! Service is excellent too. A very good experience for me.

Margaret C. Verified Buyer
I Am Very Happy

I am very happy with my purchase. This is our 2nd one. We originally bought a queen for our guest bedroom. We liked it so much we bought a California king for ourselves. It is awesome!

Jason N. Verified Buyer
Great Mattress - Highly Recommend

This is my second ... I trust the brand and quality they provide and wouldn't choose anything else. The mattress is high quality and feels like a high-end, luxury brand.

Elizabeth B. Verified Buyer
10/10

This mattress is the stuff dreams are made of! I tried Casper and Endy; neither of them were firm enough for me. I'm a stomach sleeper, so firmness is key, and this mattress was the best decision I ever made. Delivery was fast and customer service is amazing throughout the trial period.

Amira H. Verified Buyer
This Has Been a GAME CHANGER for My Wife and I

Over the years we have wasted thousands on various mattresses and nothing ever worked. And the exchange-a-mattress program retailers provided were underwhelming and still led to us never finding our forever bed.

The 100% money-back guarantee removed any fear I had about whether I would be stuck with an unwanted bed.

Oh my god. The only person in the house that loves the bed more than me and my wife is our dog, and, as it is now a King, there is room for all of us.

5 Reasons to Choose Octave Instead of Purple

1
Did you open your Purple Mattress? Sorry. You can't return it.

Purple asks you to spend over $3000 on a mattress. What happens if you try it and don't like it?

Purple only allows exchanges. If Purple's GelFlex Grid® doesn't appeal to you, it's likely that their other mattresses won't either. Considering their lowest-priced queen-size mattress comes in at $3,499 CAD, you could find yourself paying even more during the exchange process, rather than just obtaining a refund.

Octave has a stress-free approach – our mattresses are fine-tuned for all body types and sleep styles. Prices start at $599, and every mattress purchase comes with a full 365-night trial. If you decide Octave isn't for you, we provide a full refund, arrange to pick up the mattress, and we'll donate it to a local charity such as Habitat for Humanity whenever possible.

"I was tired of waking up in the morning feeling sore so I thought I would try a foam mattress. Free shipping and returns. Good trial period. Fast delivery. Very pleased, soreness gone."

Octave Is Designed for Canadian Sleepers

Purple is an American mattress company. Do they understand the needs of Canadian sleepers?

"So many mattress brands are designed, and made, in the USA or China," says Octave co-founder and CEO, Sam Prochazka. "Those brands build for their own markets, and Canada is an afterthought. We started by asking Canadians about their sleep habits, and built our products from there."

From its medium-firm construction, to its Canadian manufacturing, to its 365-night sleep trial, Octave provides Canadian sleepers with the qualities they love most in a mattress.

"No more numb limbs, back pain, or pressure spots. The mattress is surprisingly cool as well, which I was afraid to find too hot. The product seems of high quality overall, and we feel it in our sleep."

Octave Is Made in Canada. Purple Saves Its Best Offers for the USA.

The Octave Vista memory foam mattress was designed in Western Canada using cooling fabrics, copper-infused gel, and multi-zone support foam to give you the most advanced rest ever. It is also proudly Made in Canada to top national quality standards.

Due to its exclusivity deal with Sleep Country, Purple only offers two of its mattresses in Canada – the expensive ones. In the United States, Purple offers an extensive range of popular mattresses, many of which sell for nearly half the cost as their Canadian counterparts. (They also offer a sleep trial in the USA, too.) Looking for a Twin, Double, or King-size mattress? Purple only sells those in the States, too. (Sorry, Canada!)
