Novosbed Mattress Review

Updated April 2024
We receive referral fees from the brands listed below.

Summary

  • The Novosbed is an 11-inch memory foam mattress available in Canada and USA.
  • This mattress initially consists of 3 layers. However, the manufacturer may send you an additional comfort+firmness adjustment kit depending on your firmness preference.
  • The Novosbed is sold in three firmness levels: soft (5), medium-firm (6.5) and firm (8).
  • One of its major selling points is the temperature-neutral capability that makes it sleep cooler than most competitors.
  • The Novosbed memory foam mattress has a removable cover for easy cleaning.
  • Like other bed-in-a-box mattresses, the Novosbed mattress comes with a 120-night in-home trial with free returns. The Novosbed memory foam mattress also has a 15-year warranty.

Firmness & Feel

To give you a clearer perspective of mattress firmness, we like putting it on a 1-10 firmness scale where 10 is rock hard. As we’ve already pointed out, the Novosbed comes in three firmness versions that the manufacturer classifies as soft, medium and firm. 

For this Novosbed mattress review, we tested the medium version. This version actually felt like a medium-firm for our team, and we put it at 6.5 on the mattress firmness scale. Such a mattress lets you sink just a little bit, but there won’t be a lot of foam enveloping you inside the mattress. 

The best part is that you’re not stuck with one firmness option when buying the Novosbed mattress online. If, after 30 days, the mattress is softer or firmer for your liking, just contact Novosbed and they will send a free comfort+ adjustment kit to fix the problem. 

If the mattress doesn’t feel alright for you even after adding the comfort+ kit, Novosbed allows you to return the mattress for a full refund. Returns are free.

Construction & Design

The Novosbed memory foam mattress is 11” thick. This is a bed-in-a-box mattress, meaning that it’s shipped to your doorstep. You can typically sleep on it immediately after setting it up. However, like other mattress-in-a-box brands, it’s advisable to give your Novosbed mattress 24-48 hours to expand fully. 

Cover

The Novosbed mattress has what this manufacturer calls an Ultra Soft Washable Cover. This cover is made of Tencel and polyester blend. This material is known for being soft to the touch, breathable and durable.

The Novosbed mattress cover is removable and safe to wash in the machine. This makes caring for the mattress much easier than brands with a non-removable cover. And don’t worry about the layers of foam when you remove the top cover for cleaning because there’s a two-way stretch elastic cover holding them together. 

Comfort Layer

The Novosbed mattress has what this manufacturer calls an Ultra Soft Washable Cover. This cover is made of Tencel and polyester blend. This material is known for being soft to the touch, breathable and durable.

The Novosbed mattress cover is removable and safe to wash in the machine. This makes caring for the mattress much easier than brands with a non-removable cover. And don’t worry about the layers of foam when you remove the top cover for cleaning because there’s a two-way stretch elastic cover holding them together. 

Transition Layer 2” to 3” of Recore foam. Again, this layer can be medium-soft, medium or medium firm, depending on your firmness choice. Essentially, this zone promotes the body contouring properties of the comfort layer. It also neutralizes the harshness of the firm layer that makes the base of this mattress. 
Base Layer The foundation is 6”-7” of Durabase support foam (a type of poly foam). This layer promotes balanced support for even body weight distribution. Its high density also enhances this bed’s durability to offer you value for your money.

Sleeping Positions

Whether or not a mattress is a good buy mainly depends on the mattress’s firmness level and your sleeping position and weight. Instead of forcing everyone into one firmness level, Novosbed sells this mattress in three firmness options: soft, medium-firm and firm. For this Novosbed mattress review, our team went with the medium-firm version because it’s the most popular and is likely to work for most people. 

Side Sleeping - lightweight and average-weight side sleepers (230 lbs and below) will be the biggest fans of the Novosbed memory foam mattress. The memory foam comfort layer will allow these sleepers to sink in slightly for a close hug and a good balance of pressure relief and comfort. Side sleepers above 230 lbs may prefer the firm version. 

Back Sleeping - the Novosbed mattress will be a good match for most sleepers weighing up to 250 lbs. Lightweight back sleepers who prefer a softer sleeping surface may appreciate the soft version of the Novosbed mattress. On the other hand, individuals weighing well over 250 lbs may want to steer towards the Novosbed firm mattress option. 

Stomach Sleeping - the medium-firm version of the Novosbed mattress will be a good choice for lightweight stomach sleepers. We’d advise average-weight and heavier stomach sleepers to take advantage of the 120-night trial period to confirm whether the firm version is the best option.

Value for your Money

At its price tag, the Novosbed is already one of the best mattresses for the money. But it offers a much better value proposition when you consider the effort Novosbed puts into creating a perfect-fit mattress for everyone. 

Buying a mattress online is a tricky affair. A bed that works best for another person may not automatically be a good fit for you. That being said, the choice of three firmness levels that Novosbed offers is a biggie for most memory foam lovers. Even better, you can adjust your bed’s comfort level using the comfort+. And don’t forget that the cover can be removed for washing.

Our Mattress Verdict

Novosbed is a memory foam mattress made and owned by Goodmorning.com. This mattress is made in Toronto, Canada and Pennsylvania, USA. We can’t tell for sure whether the Novosbed will be the best mattress for you. However, we’re certain that this Canadian brand has a firmness level and mattress configuration for all sleeping styles, body shapes and personal preferences. Generally speaking, we think the Novosbed is a good mattress for lightweight to average-weight folks. It also makes a good mattress for people with back and neck pains. Its excellent motion isolation and ability to accommodate various sleeping positions will also thrill most couples. But like other all-foam mattresses, we would advise overweight individuals (250+ lbs) to consider a more supportive mattress technology, particularly hybrid mattresses.

Pros
  • Available in 3 firmness options
  • Good temperature regulation
  • Removeable cover
Cons
  • Below average edge support
