The Polysleep Origin 2.0 uses a proprietary, open-cell memory foam that’s designed to reduce heat buildup and regain its shape quicker than traditional memory foam. The bed’s foam layers provide a cushy, gently contouring feel that takes the pressure off of the hips and shoulders.
- Comfortable support for side and back sleepers
- Good motion isolation for those with active sleeping partners
- Sleeps very cool
- Below-average support for stomach sleepers over 130 pounds
- Sleep trial has a mandatory 45-day break-in period
- Shipping is not free to Alaska and Hawaii
Polysleep is based in Canada and specializes in foam mattresses, foundations, toppers, and pillows. The company uses sustainable shipping methods and donates one mattress for every 10 sold. All mattresses are made locally and shipped directly to customers, keeping prices more affordable.
Polysleep offers four main mattresses: the Origin 2.0, the Polysleep, the Aura, and the Zephyr 2.0. Polysleep uses a proprietary memory foam, which is a foam that combines properties of memory foam and latex, though the foam does not contain any actual latex. This gives the mattresses a responsive feel more characteristic of hybrid models.
We’ll focus on the Origin 2.0, an upgraded version of the Origin Mattress. With a 10-inch profile and medium firm (6) feel, the Origin 2.0 includes a memory foam comfort layer, polyfoam transition layer, and a high-density polyfoam base. The Polysleep Mattress is the same height but features a thicker comfort system and reinforced polyfoam perimeter.
Polysleep’s high-end models include the Aura and the Zephyr 2.0. The Aura has the same structure as the Polysleep but features targeted hip support and a thicker support core, measuring 11 inches in height. At 12 inches, the Zephyr 2.0 is the tallest and most advanced model. Its construction is similar to that of the Aura, but it includes several cooling technologies.
We’ll highlight the Origin 2.0’s construction, sizing, and performance to help you decide if it’s the right model for you. We’ll also cover the Origin 2.0’s shipping, sleep trial, and warranty details.

TEST LAB RATINGS
How the Polysleep Origin 2.0 Scored
Motion Isolation7.0/10
Our testers noticed minimal motion transfer, thanks to the mattress’ all-foam construction. The comfort and transition layers trap movement before it ripples across the surface, and the thick polyfoam support core helps prevent any residual motion from traveling across the surface.
The mattress’ above-average motion isolation prevents partners from disturbing each other when they move or get in and out of bed. The same is true if you sleep with a pet or child. Motion isolation can also help prevent combination sleepers from waking up when changing positions.
Pressure Relief7.0/10
Polysleep’s memory foam is formulated to cradle sleepers without permitting deep sinkage. We found that this combination alleviated tension while encouraging good sleep posture. Our testers experienced enough sink to cushion pressure points in the hips, shoulders, and back. At the same time, the mattress’ pushback reinforced even spine alignment.
Sleepers over 230 pounds sometimes find memory foam mattresses too soft, but the foam layers didn’t compress excessively for our testers. The responsive polyfoam transition layer and sturdy polyfoam support core also resist deep sinkage, which helps prevent pressure points from forming.
Stomach sleepers over 130 pounds noticed the mattress conformed too closely to the midsection, which made it difficult to maintain spinal alignment. Sleepers in this weight category might opt for a firmer model with minimal compression.
Temperature Control4.5/10
We found the Origin 2.0 slept cooler than typical all-foam models. The memory foam provides moderate contouring, so it doesn’t trap as much body heat. Its open-cell structure is also more breathable than conventional memory foam. Additionally, the medium firm surface limits deep sinkage that can reduce airflow.
Couples and stomach sleepers over 130 pounds may experience more heat retention, but testing indicated that the mattress regulated temperature fairly well throughout the night.
Edge Support6.0/10
Foam mattresses tend to have weaker edge support than hybrid or latex models as even high-density foam eventually softens and loses its support. We found the Origin 2.0 Mattress had average edge support for a foam model. However, the medium firm surface and dense polyfoam support core help minimize sagging along the sides.
Couples may notice some premature sagging around the perimeter, but this is more likely after a few years of sleeping on the mattress.
If you regularly sit on the edge of your bed or weigh more than 230 pounds, you may want to consider Polysleep’s Zephyr, Aura, or Polysleep models. These mattresses have a reinforced foam perimeter for better edge support.
Ease of Movement4.5/10
Foam mattresses can restrict movement if they closely hug the body. Since the memory foam is quick to regain its shape, our testers didn’t feel stuck inside the mattress. This allowed them to adjust positions with relative ease. A responsive polyfoam transition layer also helps limit sinkage that can impede movement.
The Origin 2.0 is still not quite as responsive as a hybrid or latex mattress, so sleepers might experience some resistance when switching positions, especially those over 230 pounds.
Durability5.5/10
All-foam mattresses tend to have the shortest lifespan, though the exact longevity of any given mattress always depends on the materials used to make it. Polysleep uses low-density foams in the Origin 2.0. While these are initially comfortable and capable of providing spinal support for many sleeper types, they’re more likely to wear out sooner. This means you may start to see permanent body indentations and notice softer areas after five to six years.
Who it Fits
Fit by Sleep Position and Body Weight
Sizes, dimensions and weights
Side Sleepers
Many side sleepers favor memory foam mattresses because of their contouring and pressure-relieving abilities. The Origin 2.0 proved this to be true for our side sleeping testers. The top memory foam layer allowed the hips and shoulders to comfortably sink while still keeping the spine in alignment. Transitional polyfoam provides extra support to the hips and shoulders. The mattress provided even contouring for all of our side sleepers, but it performed especially well for testers between 130 and 230 pounds.
Back Sleepers
Our back sleepers across all weight categories gave the mattress high marks. Memory foam cushions the shoulders and legs without allowing the lower back to sink too deeply. The polyfoam support core and medium firm (6) feel minimize sagging below the torso, promoting proper spine alignment for testers in all weight groups. Even back sleepers over 230 pounds, who are prone to deep sinkage, felt moderately supported on the mattress.
Stomach Sleepers
Foam mattresses aren’t always firm enough for stomach sleepers, but our testers under 130 pounds felt supported on the Origin 2.0. The comfort layer regained shape quicker than other memory foams, so it didn’t allow too much sinkage in the midsection. At the same time, it provided moderate pressure relief in areas like the hips and shoulders. Transitional polyfoam and a dense polyfoam support core also prevent the stomach from sinking excessively.
Stomach sleepers over 130 pounds found the mattress lacked support. The medium firm surface compressed too much, straining the neck and lower back. These sleepers usually need a firmer mattress to support the midsection and prevent sinkage.

The mattress is compressed in plastic and shipped in a recycled box to your doorstep. A signature isn’t required upon delivery but can be requested when completing your purchase online. Most orders are processed within two business days and delivered within a week.
All mattress sizes ship in a box that is 41 inches long, 17 inches wide, and 17 inches deep. It weighs between 46 and 86 pounds, depending on the mattress size.
Professional assembly isn’t needed since the mattress expands on its own. After removing the plastic wrapping, unroll the mattress on your foundation or floor. The mattress assumes its full shape in about 10 minutes and can be used immediately. Mattresses should be unboxed and decompressed within three months of its delivery.
Additional Services
Polysleep does not offer White Glove delivery or old mattress removal.
Sleep Trial
Customers can test the mattress for 100 nights. Returns can only be initiated after the 45-day break-in period. Polysleep organizes mattress pickups for eligible returns. The courier removes the mattress for you, so it doesn’t need to be reboxed. Returned mattresses are refunded in full, minus a restocking fee.
Warranty
The mattress’ 10-year limited warranty covers defects in its materials and craftsmanship. This includes indentations greater than 1 inch, split or cracked foam, and flaws to the zipper or cover. It’s at Polysleep’s sole discretion to either repair or replace defective mattresses. The customer is responsible for return shipping fees.
