Octave Mirage Overview

Pros

• High-quality materials: The CertiPUR-US-certified Octave Mirage mattress is made of high-quality materials. This indicates that they are free of potentially harmful chemicals and pollutants.
• Cooling: The Octave Mirage mattress's CryoFusionTM cooling nanofibre cover, CopperGelTM memory foam layer, and active ventilation channels provide excellent cooling. These qualities help with moisture drainage, heat dissipation, and improving ventilation throughout the mattress, keeping you cool and comfortable during the night.
• Pressure relief: The CopperGelTM memory foam layer and ElastexTM foam layer of the Octave Mirage mattress provide pressure relief. These layers conform to your body's shape and weight, reducing pressure and relaxing your joints and muscles.
• Company policies: The Octave Mirage mattress is backed by a 365-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and free shipping to Canada. These are only a few of the benefits of buying this mattress from Octave's website.

Cons

• Not available outside Canada: The Octave Mirage mattress is not currently available outside of Canada. International shipping is currently unavailable.
• Not suitable for light-side sleepers: The Octave Mirage mattress is not suggested for light-side sleepers under 130 pounds because of its medium-firm feel, which may lack softness or plushness. Pressure points or discomfort in the shoulders and hips may occur in light-side sleepers.

Who do we Recommend the Octave Mirage for

• Back and stomach sleepers: Back and stomach sleepers will appreciate the Octave Mirage mattress's combination of comfort and support. The memory foam layer conforms to your body's shape and weight, while the Elastex™ foam layer and foundation layer support and stabilize your spine and joints.
• People who sleep hot: The Octave Mirage mattress provides exceptional cooling performance thanks to its CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibre cover, CopperGel™ memory foam layer, phase change spray, and active ventilation channels. These features help to wick away moisture, dissipate heat, and improve airflow throughout the mattress, keeping you cool and comfortable all night.
• Those seeking a balanced experience: The Octave Mirage mattress offers a balanced feel, meaning it's neither too soft nor too firm. It provides pressure relief and relaxation while still offering support and durability. It also has a moderate material reaction time, meaning it responds quickly when you change positions or get out of bed.

Unboxing the Octave Mirage

A new mattress can be difficult to set up, but the Octave Mirage mattress is easy to set up. The mattress is compressed and rolled in a box that is simple to transport and maneuver. To ensure the mattress's safety, the box is composed of recycled cardboard, and the mattress is wrapped in two layers of heavy-duty recycled plastic.

Once the mattress has been removed from its packaging, carefully unroll it onto your bed frame and cut the plastic covering. The mattress will quickly expand to its full 13-inch size in minutes and be ready to sleep on the same day. The edges expanded nearly as soon as well, suggesting excellent corner expansion.

Overall, unpacking and setting up the mattress should take about 15 minutes.

One of the finest aspects of the Octave Mirage mattress is that it has no noticeable chemical odor. This is a common issue with other bed-in-a-box mattresses, but not with the Octave Mirage. The mattress has a mild, non-irritating odor that goes away after a few hours of ventilation. This greatly improves the unboxing experience.

Firmness, Feel, and Comfort For Octave Mirage

Octave Mirage Firmness

The Octave Mirage mattress has a firmness rating of 6 out of 10 and gives a medium-firm feel. As a result, it's one of the most well-balanced mattresses in the Octave Sleep lineup.

However, firmness is a subjective experience that varies according to weight, sleeping position, and personal choice. As a result, depending on the individual, the Octave Mirage mattress can feel anywhere between 5 and 7.

Octave Mirage Feel

The Octave Mirage mattress has a balanced and cooling feel thanks to its memory foam layer, ElastexTM foam layer, and CryoFusionTM cooling nanofibre cover. The memory foam layer conforms to your body's shape and weight, providing pressure relief as well as joint and muscle comfort. The ElastexTM foam layer provides cushioning and support for your shoulders, back, and hips. The cooling nanofibre layer on the CryoFusionTM mattress aids in moisture-wicking and keeps the mattress cool.

Octave Mirage Comfort

The Octave Mirage mattress is designed to provide comfort to people of all shapes and sizes. Memory foam fits your body's shape and weight, while the ElastexTM foam layer and foundation layer support and stabilize your spine and joints. The mattress also includes cooling technology to keep you cool and comfortable all night.

We put the Octave Mirage mattress through a number of tests in a variety of sleeping positions and were pleasantly surprised by its performance. Our reviewers, who ranged in weight and sleep position, submitted feedback on the Octave Mirage mattress.

Side sleeper (140 lbs): "I'm a light side sleeper, and I find the Octave Mirage mattress to be comfortable, its medium-firm feel hugs my pressure points while keeping me supported." Back sleeper (150 lbs): "I'm an average-weight back sleeper, and I like the Octave Mirage mattress," It appropriately supports my lower back and spine without making me feel too substantial or too soft. As a back sleeper, the Octave Mirage mattress provides a good balance of comfort and support."

Stomach sleeper (200 lbs): "As an average weight stomach sleeper, I love the Octave Mirage mattress," It supports my lower back and abdomen well without making me feel suffocated. The Octave Mirage mattress is firm enough to prevent me from sinking too far, but not rigid enough to be uncomfortable.”

Constructions, Materials, and Design

Materials and Design

Octave Sleep's Octave Mirage mattress is a 13-inch all-foam mattress. To deliver a balanced feel and cooling performance, this mattress is created with high-quality materials. It is appropriate for all sleeping positions and body weights, although it is best suited to back and stomach sleepers who enjoy a medium-firm feel.

The Octave Mirage mattress has four foam layers and a cooling nanofibre cover made by CryoFusionTM. The cover is intended to keep the mattress cool and comfy, and it is zippered for simple removal and washing.

Layers

Here's what inside the Octave Mirage Mattress:

1. CryoFusionTM Cooling Nanofibre Cover: You will feel instantly invigorated after lying down. The top cover of the Octave Mirage is woven with CryoFusionTM cooling nanofibres. This cool sleep surface cools swiftly and maintains its temperature, redefining sleeping comfort.
2. Memory foam CopperGelTM + PolarMAX®: This 2-inch top layer of memory foam adjusts to your body shape and weight, providing pressure relief and relaxation. Copper gel infused in the foam has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that may benefit your health. It also helps the foam absorb heat and moisture, keeping you cool and comfortable. PolarMAX phase-change infusion aids in temperature management to prevent overheating.
3. ElastexTM foam: The mattress's second layer is 2 inches thick. It is made of ElastexTM foam, which has the same feel and bounce as natural latex. This layer cushions and protects your shoulders, back, and hips. It also makes the transition from the softer top layer to the tougher foundation layer easier.
4. 8" Multi-Zone Air Channeled Support Foam: The base layer of the mattress is 8 inches thick. It is comprised of high-density foam, which provides stiffness and durability. The base layer also has ventilation channels, which allow air to move throughout the mattress and aid in temperature regulation. The foundation layer also includes five pressure relief zones to help support and shape your spine.

Performance of Octave Vista

Cooling

The Octave Mirage mattress has excellent cooling performance. The cooling nanofibre mattress cover keeps the mattress cool to the touch. The copper gel memory foam layer also helps to remove heat and moisture from your body, keeping you comfortable throughout the night. The base layer ventilation tunnels aid in both airflow and heat dissipation.

We put the Octave Mirage mattress through 20 minutes of testing to see how well it kept us cool.

During our cooling performance test, we discovered that the Octave Mirage mattress did an excellent job of keeping us cool.

We felt the soft, silky cloth of the cover against our skin during the first few minutes. The memory foam layer conformed to our bodies as we slept, which could trap heat for heavier people. We did not, however, find any hot patches or areas of pain. After 20 minutes, we felt at ease and at home.

Overall, we think the Octave Mirage mattress is an excellent choice for persons who sleep hot or live in hot areas. As a result, we rated its cooling performance 4.5/5.

Responsiveness

The Octave Mirage mattress is a responsive and adjustable foam mattress. The copper gel memory foam layer contours to your body's shape and weight, delivering pressure relief and relaxation. Cushioning and support are provided by the ElastexTM foam layer for your shoulders, back, and hips.

We tested the responsiveness of the Octave Mirage mattress by dropping a 20-pound ball on it and waiting a few seconds for it to sink in. After removing the ball, we timed how long it took for the mattress to fully return to its previous shape. For a foam mattress, the mattress recovered completely in around 1 second, which is very fast for a foam mattress. This implies the mattress reacts to your movements without being too slow or overly bouncy.

We gave the Octave Mirage a rating of 4/5 for responsiveness.

Motion Isolation

The Octave Mirage mattress is made to be extremely motion-isolating. This is due to the mattress's memory foam layer, which absorbs movement and reduces motion transfer.

Two trials were carried out to assess the motion isolation qualities of the Octave Mirage mattress. The first test involved placing a glass of water on one side of the mattress and dropping a 20-pound ball on the other. The water barely moved, indicating that the mattress effectively isolates motion.

One of our testers slept on one side of the mattress while the other tossed and turned on the other in the second test. The first reviewer claimed that their partner's movements did not bother them, demonstrating the mattress's ability to prevent motion transmission.

Overall, we believe the Octave Mirage mattress is a great option for those who sleep with a spouse or a pet. As a result, we gave it a rating of 4.8/5 for motion isolation.

Edge Support

The Octave Mirage mattress has minimal edge support, which may be insufficient for certain persons. The mattress's foam layers readily compress, causing it to sag and feel unstable around the edges. The 13-inch height of the mattress, on the other hand, will provide slightly better edge support than standard foam mattresses.

To evaluate the Octave Mirage mattress's edge support, we applied firm pressure to the mattress's edges and evaluated how much the mattress compressed. The mattress had become compressed slightly, with minimal counterpressure produced by the layers.

We noticed our weight lowering as we sat on the mattress's edges, causing the mattress to drop. Most individuals are unconcerned, but those who weigh more than 250 pounds or who sit or sleep on the edge of their bed may be.

The Octave Mirage mattress's edge support is average generally, however, it may be insufficient for some persons. We rated it 3.6/5 in terms of edge support.

Noise

We tested the mattress for noise by laying a 20-pound ball on top of it and listening for any noises or squeaks. Nothing but the regular thump of a drop on any surface could be heard.

Thus, moving around on the Octave Mirage mattress is completely silent.

For noise isolation, the Octave Mirage mattress earned a 5/5.

Sex

An excellent sex performance mattress should be firm, cool, and quiet, with good edge support.

The Octave Mirage mattress is both comfortable and responsive. The copper gel memory foam layer prevents couples from sliding about, while the ElastexTM foam layer provides some bounce to some combinations. Couples can freely utilize the bed because the edge support is enough. The mattress's medium-firm texture, on the other hand, may lead some couples to experience too much resistance during sex, limiting movement.

We give the Octave Mirage mattress a 4/5 rating because we believe it is a good sex performance mattress.

Pressure Relief

The Octave Mirage mattress was designed to relieve pressure points all over the body. The top layer of copper gel memory foam is responsive and adaptive, allowing it to conform to the body and evenly distribute weight. The second layer of ElastexTM foam cushions and supports your shoulders, back, and hips. The base layer of multi-zone support foam with air vents provides stability and lifespan to the mattress.

We employed a pressure mapping approach in our pressure relief test to measure the amount of pressure on various parts of the body while lying on the mattress. According to the test results, the Octave Mirage mattress provided exceptional pressure relief in all areas of the body.

The pressure map below presents the pressure relief test results.

The pressure map of the Octave Mirage mattress demonstrates that it gives excellent pressure relief in the shoulders, hips, and lower back. This is owing to the medium-firm feel of the mattress, which aids in the balance of comfort and support. As a result, the Octave Mirage mattress is an excellent choice for folks who prefer to sleep on their backs or stomachs.

For light-side sleepers, the Octave Mirage mattress might not be the greatest option. This is because the mattress isn't as smooth or silky as others, and side sleepers put greater weight on their shoulders and hips.

The Octave Mirage mattress relieves pressure in the majority of body regions. However, it may not be the greatest option for light sleepers. As a result, we gave this mattress a rating of 4.8/5 for pressure relief.

Policies Overview

FAQs about Octave Mirage

What are the differences between the Octave mattresses?

When will my Octave Mirage mattress arrive?

All the mattresses are made to order. This means you’re guaranteed to receive a fresh new mattress and not one that’s been sitting and slowly deteriorating in a warehouse for months.

The mattress arrives between 1 to 7 days at most.

How does the 365-night sleep trial work?

The 365-night home sleep trial allows you to try your mattress or select a sleep product for 365 nights to ensure your satisfaction. However, since it takes anyone some time to get used to a new mattress, Octave asks that customers sleep on their mattresses for a minimum of 21 nights before initiating a return.

What kind of base do I need? Do I even need one?

The Octave Mirage mattress is compatible with platform beds, box foundations, slatted bases, and non-medical adjustable bed frames. If you don’t have a compatible base, you can place the mattress directly on the floor, but avoid placing it on a concrete floor.

What materials are used in the mattresses?

Octave mattresses are made with next-generation foams and fabrics for a comfortable and supportive night’s sleep. The machine-washable CryoFusion™ cover keeps you cool and comfortable, while the CopperGel™ memory foam and PolarMAX® phase-change material provide pressure relief, support, and temperature regulation.
