Bloom mattresses are good mattresses. That's what we think at Polysleep — and we say it openly. But "good" doesn't necessarily mean "best". In this comparison, we analyze the Bloom line (Earth, Mist, Air, Cloud, Sol, River) against Polysleep mattresses on the criteria that truly matter: cover, foam, edge support, return policy, and manufacturing.
Polysleep regularly studies what the best players in the industry are doing — and Bloom is one of them. This analysis has allowed us to clearly identify what sets us apart, and we are sharing it with you today in full transparency.
Quick verdict: Bloom or Polysleep depending on your profile?
- Choose Polysleep if you want a water-repellent cover (kids, pets), foam that is comfortable as soon as you lie down even in winter, reinforced edge support for better durability, and independent Quebec manufacturing.
- Choose Bloom if you want to try the mattress in-store at Sleep Country / Dormez-vous before buying, you prefer classic memory foam, or the entry-level price (Bloom Earth ~$599) is your primary criterion.

The Bloom Mattress Line: What You Need to Know
Bloom is a private label owned by Sleep Country Canada — the same group that owns Endy, Casper Canada, Silk & Snow, and Hush. Bloom mattresses are sold exclusively in Sleep Country and Dormez-vous stores, which distinguishes them from pure online brands like Polysleep.
The line includes six main models, each with its own specifics:
| Model | Queen Price | Layers | Feature | Manufacturing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bloom River | ~$599 | 3 layers | Gel memory foam + bamboo charcoal | Variable |
| Bloom Earth | ~$699 | 3 layers | Gel memory foam + bamboo charcoal | Vietnam (tested) |
| Bloom Mist | ~$899 | 4 layers | Organic cotton + gel memory | Variable |
| Bloom Air | ~$1,099 | 3-4 layers | Aerated memory foam + organic cotton | Variable |
| Bloom Cloud | ~$1,299 | 5 layers | Dunlop latex + support zones | Variable |
| Bloom Sol | ~$1,424 | 5 layers | Gel memory foam + quartz powder | Variable |
Important note on manufacturing: According to third-party engineering tests conducted by MattressReviews.ca, the Bloom Earth tested was manufactured in Vietnam. Sleep Country does not systematically publish the manufacturing country for each model — check the law tag before purchasing if this information matters to you.
The Cover: The Most Important Everyday Difference
This is the first element that distinguishes Bloom mattresses from Polysleep mattresses — and it is one of the most consequential for the durability of your investment.
Polysleep Mattress — Water-Repellent Cover
The covers on Polysleep mattresses are water-repellent: in the event of a liquid spill, you have time to wipe it up before the foam is reached. The cover is zip-removable and machine washable. For complete protection, the Origin 2.0, Zephyr 2.0, and Luna mattresses also include a waterproof mattress protector.
Bloom Mattress — Non-Water-Repellent Cover
No model in the Bloom line features a water-repellent cover. Bloom covers are made of jacquard (Earth, River) or organic cotton (Mist, Air, Cloud), are breathable and, in some cases, removable — but not water-resistant. In the event of an accident, liquid reaches the foam directly.
For households with children or pets, this is a significant limitation that requires the separate purchase of a mattress protector.
Foam Type: Immediate Comfort vs. Memory Foam
This is where the most noticeable difference lies when you go to bed, especially in winter.
Polysleep Mattress — Viscoelastic Hybrid Foam
Polysleep mattresses use an open-cell viscoelastic hybrid foam, ISO 20743 certified for its antimicrobial properties. This foam has a key advantage: it is comfortable from the very first second, regardless of room temperature — no "warming up" period needed for the foam to soften.
The foam is also highly breathable, allowing you to sleep at the right temperature in all seasons. Its quick rebound makes position changes easy without the "sinking in" feeling.
Bloom Mattress — Gel Memory Foam
Bloom mattresses use gel-infused memory foam, an effective technology for thermal regulation in the summer. The gel helps dissipate heat and prevents overheating — a real plus for sleepers who tend to run hot.
However, memory foam has a well-known characteristic in Canadian climates: at cool or cold temperatures, it temporarily hardens before warming up and conforming to the body's shape. This phenomenon, particularly noticeable during the first moments in bed in winter, is intrinsic to memory foam technology — not a defect specific to Bloom.
Edge Support: The Longevity Difference
This is one of the most underestimated aspects when choosing a mattress — and one of the clearest differentiators between Polysleep and Bloom.
Polysleep Mattress — Exclusive Ultra-Firm Contour
The Polysleep and Zephyr 2.0 mattresses feature an extra-firm support contour that vertically surrounds the edges of the mattress. This structure, exclusive to Polysleep and unique in the Canadian bed-in-a-box industry, has several concrete effects:
- The usable sleep surface extends all the way to the edges — you can sleep comfortably near the perimeter.
- The edges withstand daily mechanical stress (sitting on the bed, tying shoes, getting up in the morning).
- The mattress retains its shape over time — the contour prevents premature sagging that reduces lifespan.
Bloom Mattress — No Edge Reinforcement
Bloom models do not have any edge reinforcement structure. All foam layers span the full width of the mattress, meaning the firmness at the edges is the same as in the center — and therefore subject to the same rate of compression over time.
Without reinforcement, the edges of the mattress undergo greater mechanical stress during daily use (sitting on the bed, getting in and out of bed). Over the long term, this can result in edge sagging and a reduction in the usable sleep surface.
Our Review of Bloom Mattresses
Bloom mattresses have a rightful place in the Canadian market. Their in-store availability at Sleep Country and Dormez-vous is a real advantage for buyers who want to test a mattress in person before purchasing — something few online brands allow. Their lineup offers several firmness levels and price points.
That being said, several points are worth knowing before making a decision:
- No water-repellent cover in the entire line — a design choice that penalizes families with children or pets and requires the additional purchase of a mattress protector.
- Classic memory foam — performs well in summer, but can be uncomfortable upon first contact during the Canadian winter (temporary hardening before warming up).
- Lack of edge reinforcement — edges wear at the same rate as the center, which can accelerate the mattress's aging over several years of daily use.
- Restrictive return policy — in-store credit only (no cash refunds), with a $99 exchange fee. More restrictive than most online brands.
- Manufactured outside of Canada — the tested Bloom Earth was made in Vietnam according to its law tag. Sleep Country does not systematically publish the manufacturing country for each model.
- Ownership: Bloom is a private label of Sleep Country Canada, owned by the Fairfax Financial Holdings group (which also owns Endy, Casper Canada, and Silk & Snow). For buyers looking to support an independent Quebec brand, this information is relevant.
Ultimately, the Bloom mattress is a good choice for: trying a mattress in-store before buying, an entry-level budget (Bloom Earth ~$599), or a guest room for occasional use. For a master bedroom with daily use and durability requirements, the combination of Polysleep's water-repellent cover + reinforced contour + hybrid foam offers documented technical advantages.
Final Verdict: Bloom or Polysleep?
Choose Polysleep if you:
- Have kids or pets (standard water-repellent cover)
- Want a mattress that is comfortable the second you lie down, winter or summer
- Are looking for the best 10-year durability (exclusive reinforced contour)
- Value antimicrobial certification (ISO 20743)
- Prefer supporting an independent Quebec brand
- Buy online and want a simple process (direct delivery)
Choose Bloom if you:
- Want to try the mattress in-store before buying (Sleep Country / Dormez-vous)
- Have a tight entry-level budget (Bloom Earth ~$599 Queen)
- Prefer classic memory foam and sleep in a heated bedroom
- Are looking for several firmness options within the same line
On construction and performance criteria — cover, foam, edge support, and manufacturing — Polysleep mattresses hold documented technical advantages. Bloom mattresses have a real practical advantage: in-store availability to test before buying.
What Customers Say About Polysleep Mattresses
"This is my 3rd Polysleep mattress — one in the RV, one in the guest room, and one in the master bedroom. Guaranteed comfort, I would buy a 4th without hesitation.
"I researched for a very long time before changing my mattress. The Origin 2.0 is a great compromise between medium-firm and firm. Delivered in 4 days, easy unboxing. I regret not switching sooner.
"Customer service was efficient — I asked to pause the delivery for my move and I received my mattress 2 days later. Very comfortable from the first few days.
