Pros and Cons

✅ Pros

• Novosbed is one of the only companies that offers a free firmness adjustment. If you find that your new mattress is slightly softer or firmer than you’d hoped, Novosbed will send you a complimentary Comfort+ kit to add some cushion or support to your new bed. 
• The Novosbed trial period and warranty are both longer than average. We love Novosbed’s 120-night sleep trial with free returns and their 15-year warranty. 
• Pressure Relief: Most memory foam mattress shoppers want a bed that eliminates excess pressure at areas like the hips, shoulders, and lower back. We found the Novosbed to do a great job at allowing these sensitive areas to sink in, easing pain at pressure points. 
• Motion Isolation: Novosbed’s high-density memory foam is exceptional at absorbing movements, stopping them before they spread across the bed’s surface. In our wine test, we barely noticed the wine move as our tester tossed and turned. And when one of our sleep testers moved around on their side of the bed, the other barely noticed. This lack of motion transfer makes the Novosbed an excellent option for couples who share the bed. 
• Spine Alignment: One of the most important factors when shopping for a mattress is finding one that keeps the spine in a neutral alignment. We scored the Novosbed 9/10 for spine alignment as we were impressed with the body alignment of our sleep testers. Back and side sleepers with back or neck pain may find the pain slowly melt away when they switch to the Novosbed.  

❌ Cons

• Responsiveness: Our sleep testers noted that the classic memory foam feel can make it feel like you’re stuck. This is particularly true for heavy people, who might feel like the mattress is sagging rather than supporting their weight. Our testers noted that it was hard to switch from one position to the next—which is a problem for combination sleepers. 
• Cooling: The ultra-dense memory foam, while incredible at contouring the body, can also trap heat. While it’s not the hottest memory foam bed that we’ve tested, its heat retention is greater than most innerspring and hybrid mattresses. Hot sleepers might be better served by a cooler mattress.

What Are the Firmness Options?

The Novosbed mattress comes in three firmness options:

• The soft Novosbed mattress rates a 3.5 on the 1–10 firmness scale. Its sumptuously plush sleeping surface delivers cloud-like comfort that soft-mattress lovers will appreciate.
• The medium Novosbed mattress comes in at a 5 on the 1–10 firmness scale. The expert blend of cushy give and contouring support is a great fit for most sleepers.
• The firm Novosbed mattress falls at a 6.5 on the 1–10 firmness scale, which means it feels more medium-firm than firm. You will feel more like you’re sleeping “on” than “in” this mattress model.

Which Sleeping Positions Does It Work Best For?

Although it is not one of our best mattress for side sleepers picks, the Novosbed mattress is a great option for back sleepers. The soft and medium options truly hug the body’s curves, making them excellent choices for side sleepers and back sleepers who like a plush surface. The firm is more of a medium-firm that fits the needs of most back sleepers. Stomach sleepers are not going to find the firm support that they need. Jump over to our best mattress for stomach sleepers page for better options.

Does It Keep You Cool?

When we tested the Novosbed mattress, we found it to sleep relatively cool for a memory foam mattress. However, it’s not among the coolest all-foam mattresses that we’ve tested (read our best cooling mattress guide for those top picks). Therefore, we recommend it for those who don’t tend to wake up hot in the middle of the night.

Is There a Weight Capacity?

The Novosbed mattress doesn’t have any set weight capacities. We’ve found that most 100% foam beds are best for those who weigh 300 pounds or less. When you weigh more, the lack of springy support can leave you feeling like you’re sinking into the mattress.

Recommended Foundations

Novosbed recommends using a solid base or platform with their mattress. Examples include adjustable bases, slatted bases with slats between two and three inches apart, platform beds, and non-flexing box springs. Additionally, foundations designed for memory foam beds should work.

Construction and Feel

The Novosbed is a three-layer memory foam mattress made using high-density memory foam for the ultimate in comfort and durability. To create varying firmness levels (the soft, medium, and firm options), the layers within differ slightly in their composition.

Setting Up the Mattress

The Novosbed mattress is a bed in a box, meaning the mattress arrives compressed in a tall, thin box. When we received the Novosbed in the mail, the box itself did not have handles, which made it somewhat challenging to move to its final location.

Once we placed it on the bed frame, the unpacking process was a breeze. It did have a mild odor at first, but this dissipated rather quickly. Because it’s an all-foam bed, we were not surprised that it took a couple of days to fully decompress.

Shipping and Delivery

Novosbed offers free delivery within most of the United States and Canada. Every Novosbed mattress is made-to-order. As such, a new mattress typically takes one to five days before it’s shipped, although it may take up to 12 business days when shipping within the United States.

Unique Sleep Trial

The Novosbed sleep trial is unique amongst its competitors. Not only is the 120-night trial longer than other bed-in-a-box brands, but they’ve created a system to change the firmness of a mattress to help you find the right feel for you.

If you find that your mattress isn’t fitting your needs after 30 days, contact Novosbed and ask them about the free Comfort+ kit. Novosbed will send a kit that quickly and easily adds either greater plushness or more support, depending upon what’s needed.

For those who cannot find the right feel after 60 days, Novosbed will arrange for a local charity or recycling center to pick up the mattress. Then you’ll receive a full refund. Just be sure to contact Novosbed within 120 days of receiving your new mattress to initiate a return.

Your Warranty

The Novosbed mattress comes with a 15-year warranty. The first 10 years are non-prorated, meaning your mattress is covered 100%. The following five years are pro-rated, with your coverage amount decreasing to 75% the original cost of the mattress .

Just as with other mattress warranties, the Novosbed warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship. With this and other mattress warranties, it’s important to realize that you must take care of your mattress for any defects to qualify for coverage.

To protect your mattress and keep it covered under the warranty, use only an approved foundation. Additionally, protect the bed from spills and mold by using a waterproof mattress protector and keeping the bed off of the floor.

Reasons to Buy/Not Buy the Novosbed

It’s time to decide if the Novosbed is the best mattress for you with a quick recap of this review.

Novosbed is a memory foam mattress great for back and side sleepers, value shoppers, and people with back pain. It comes with a 120-night trial and 15-year warranty. Even though this mattress company is Canadian, they do ship free to most of the US.

This mattress may not be for heavier people or stomach sleepers. Instead, we recommend the Loom & Leaf mattress as a better alternative for these groups.
