Polysleep Origin 2.0 Mattress Review: Test Lab Ratings

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We detected moderate off-gassing when the mattress was first unboxed, which is to be expected with a foam model. Foam manufacturing creates volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are tiny particles that have a chemical-like smell. Polysleep uses CertiPUR-US certified foams, indicating that any off-gassing odors aren’t harmful.

Sleepers should unbox the mattress in a well-ventilated area. Odors typically dissipate within 24 to 48 hours of unrolling the mattress.
