Antimicrobial? Check. Liquid resistant?
Check. Amazing edge support? Check. And check.
Polysleep mattresses are some of the most popular bedding products in
Canada, but Americans are quickly learning that it checks all the
right boxes. Hey, everyone, Elisa here with Mattress Clarity.
Today, I'm reviewing the Polysleep Mattress. I'll go over its
firmness feel and all of its cool features, ready to
see if it's the right one for you? Let's get started before
I dive in, if you want to take a look at some of our top
picks for mattresses head over mattressclarity.com.
There you'll find in depth reviews about mattresses, pillows, bedding and
more. And make sure to stick around to the end of the video, where I'll
be answering some of the most frequently asked questions about the Polysleep
Mattress. Polysleep Mattress Review are made in Montreal, but they're
shipped to customers all across North America. They sell many different
varieties of mattresses, but the Polysleep is definitely
the most popular really ready to see what sets it apart.
Let's take a close look at its construction. The Polysleep Mattress
is ten inches tall, and it's surrounded by this stretchy,
breathable cover. But a really cool thing about this cover
is that it's also liquid resistant, so if you spill something
on it, it's not going to immediately absorb into the mattress.
But peeling back the cover, you'll get to the first comfort
layer. This is made out of Polysleep's hybrid foam.
It's ventilated for extra airflow, so it shouldn't trap body heat.
And it has antimicrobial properties, which is a
really great thing if you tend to suffer from allergies.
Another great thing about this is that it's responsive, but also pressure
relieving, so you should feel lots of relief along your shoulders
and your hips and on your lower back. Underneath the comfort layer,
you'll find a thin transition layer, and beneath that
is the base layer. This provides excellent lumbar support,
and it will extend the life of your mattress. But the most unique thing
about the Polysleep is that it contains their proprietary support base
all around the sides. It's like having its own box spring
within the mattress. This gives a great edge support, and it
should make your mattress last a long time here at Mattress Clarity, and we
always pay close attention to firmness and feel. So let's
see how the Polysleep stacks up. Well, on our firmness scale,
which goes from one to ten, the Polysleep comes in at
a seven. Now, for reference, a six and a half out of ten is
considered medium firm, so this is a little bit firmer
than the industry standard. This means it will work really well for
back sleepers and side sleepers, but when it comes to the
feel, it feels a little bit more responsive than your average foam bed.
You're not going to sink into it like you might with some others,
so it's still very easy to move around on.
One good way to demonstrate this is with my ball
here, so I'm going to drop it onto the mattress, and you can see that
it actually doesn't bounce super high. That's because
there aren't any Springs in this, and it still gets a little bit of height
because it's pretty responsive. And of course, we have to
talk about how the polysleep mattress feels in different sleeping
positions. So when I'm resting on my back, I feel a
great balance of comfort and support. Because this mattress is a
tad firmer than the industry standard, it really helps keep
my body in alignment when I move to my side. I also
feel pretty comfortable here. I'm about five three, so I'm
a smaller person and I don't compress the comfort layer too
much. I will say, though, if you're a taller or a heavier
person, you might compress this comfort layer and feel
a little bit of pressure on your shoulders and your hips.
And when I'm resting on my stomach, I actually do feel pretty supported.
However, it's a similar story to side sleeping. If you're a
larger person, chances are your hips will sink into this top
layer just a little bit, which could cause some lower back pain
over time. Here at Mattress Clarity, we like to combine
our subjective opinions with objective tests. And one
of those tests is the pressure map. So watch carefully.
As I rest on my back, side and stomach,
you'll see everything from blue to no pressure all the way to
red for high pressure. And pay close attention to
what it looks like when I'm resting on my side, especially on my shoulders
and my hips. Let's check it out.
If you share a bed with a partner, one thing you really want to take
into consideration is motion transfer. And what this means is
that if you're resting on one side of the bed and your partner gets in
on the other and they're moving around throughout the night, will you feel
that movement on your side of the bed? One way we test this
is with a glass of water, so I'm just going to gently press
into the layers around it. And as you can see,
there's almost no disturbance in the glass of water at
all. Like I mentioned earlier, this bed is great at isolating
motion. So if you share a bed with somebody, it's a great pick.
But let's test this in real life. I'm going to get in on
one side of the bed and Tanner gets in on the other. And as
he moves around and switches sleeping positions, I really don't feel
a lot of that movement come over to my side of the bed. So once
again, great pick. If you Share a Bed with a Partner Another thing to
consider, especially if you share a bed with a partner, is edge support.
What this means is that if you're sitting or lying near the side of
the bed, will you feel secure or will you feel like you might roll
off. Well, Polysleep is all about amazing
edge support, and that's thanks to their proprietary support base.
Most all foam beds, you'll sink through them quite a bit,
but as you can see, I'm resting here on the side. I feel very
secure. It's a little bit of a dip, but really not too
much at all. I could bend down to tie my shoes and still stay very
secure, but when I'm lying down on this mattress,
it's also very, very secure. So if you're
sharing a bed with a partner, you can make sure that you will utilize the
entire surface area of the bed because it'll be very secure on the
sides. Now I'll go over some of the pros and cons of
the Polysleep Mattress, starting with the good stuff. First of all,
the Polysleep Mattress works exceptionally well for hot sleepers.
It's got the breathable mesh cover and it shouldn't trap body heat
easily. This mattress also works really well for couples.
It isolates motion really well, and it has amazing
edge support. And finally, the Polysleep Mattress is fantastic
for people who love a responsive foam feel.
Moving on to the cons of the Polysleep mattress,
this mattress won't work exceptionally well for heavier side
sleepers. The comfort layer is a little bit thinner,
so if you're a larger person, you'll sink into it and you could start to
feel a little bit of pressure on your shoulders and your hips.
Second of all, the Polysleep isn't a great pick for people who love a bouncy
inner spring mattress. This is an all foam bed, and it's
a bit responsive, but still you're not going to get that bounce as you
might if it had inner Springs. And finally, the Polysleep Mattress
won't work super well for people who love soft mattresses.
This one is a little bit firmer than average, so if you
need something a bit more plush, you will want to look elsewhere. If you're
shopping for a new mattress, it is always a good idea to weigh your options.
So let's see how the Polysleep mattress compares to
another popular bed in the box, the Casper. Well, first of
all, when it comes to their construction, they do have several similarities.
They're both all foam mattress, and they're great for hot sleepers
because they're made with ventilated foam. But there is a few differences
between them. First of all, the Polysleep has their proprietary
edge support system, so you're going to feel very secure when you're sitting or
lying near the side of the bed. Casper, on the
other hand, has a zoned support system, which is very unique.
It's especially helpful if you suffer from back pain.
This means it will feel softer under your shoulders and firmer
around your hips, which helps you maintain a neutral alignment throughout the
night. Also, these two mattress clarity very similar when it comes
to firmness and feel. First of all, they both come in
at a seven out of ten on the firmness scale, which is just a little
bit firmer than average, and they both have a balanced
foam feel. The only slight difference is that the Casper might
feel a little bit uneven thanks to its zoned support.
Additionally, these two mattresses have very similar price points,
so at the end of the day, it really just comes down to what's most
important to you. So who should get the polysleep mattress?
First of all, this mattress is exceptional for couples. Like I mentioned
earlier, it has amazing edge support and motion isolation.
This bed also works really well if you suffer from allergies
it's made with especially hypoallergenic material.
So if this is you want to get the Poly sleep. So who should get
the Casper? The Casper is an excellent choice.
If you deal with back pain because it has zoned
support, it will really help you maintain a neutral alignment throughout the
night. It's also going to be a good pick for combination sleepers because it
has that zoned support system. It's super versatile and it works well whether
you're on your back or your side. So the Polysleep mattress is
a bed in a box mattress, so it's going to arrive on your doorstep compressed
inside a cardboard box. So how do you unbox it?
Well, first of all, you're going to want to get a friend to help you.
These boxes are super heavy, so you'll definitely need a little bit of
assistance. Once you've found some help, bring the box
into your bedroom and cut open the top. Pull out the
rolled up mattress and place it onto your bed frame or foundation.
Then gently cut through the layers of plastic and unroll
the mattress. Give it about 48 hours to off gas
and expand, and then you'll be ready to use it. Before I answer
some of the most frequently asked questions, I'll go over some additional info
about the Polysleep mattress. First of all, they do offer free
shipping and free returns. They have a 100
night sleep trial period, a ten year warranty and
different bedding accessories are available.
Moving on to the most frequently asked questions about the Polysleep
mattress. First up, can you flip a polysleep
mattress? The answer is no. It's designed
with a support layer at the bottom and a comfort layer on the top,
so if you flip it, it's not going to feel quite right. Second question,
how thick is a polysleep mattress? Well, this mattress we're reviewing today,
the Polysleep, is ten inches tall. Final question, do you
need a box spring with polysleep mattress review? The answer is
no. It has supportive on its own thanks to the proprietary edge
support system, but it never hurts to have a nice foundation
for it. So you can also find one on the Polysleep website.
