Review: AleaSleep Sanctuary Mattress

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, I’m sure you’re aware by now that I recently got a new mattress. My previous mattress was about 10+ years old. The memory foam was worn out, I swore I was going to get stabbed by a spring every night I went to bed and it was starting to give me really bad back pain too.

I ended up getting a foam mattress from a Canadian company based right here in Toronto, AleaSleep. If you know me, you’ll know that I love supporting local and Canadian brands so I was even more excited when I found out that their mattresses are also made right in Toronto.

The particular mattress that I got was the Sanctuary mattress. It’s the most expensive out of their three mattresses, however it’s still affordable at $1,799 CAD for a full/double. One of the reasons I was attracted to this particular mattress was because of its features.

The mattress has pressure point relief, targeted lumbar support and works to reduce should pressure. It also has temperature control, meaning that it is made with materials that don’t pull in heat, which helps to keep your bed a consistent temperature so that you don’t get overheated at night. My bamboo bed sheets have temperature control and it’s one of my favourite things about them, so I was really excited about this feature.

Advanced features:

Targeted lumbar support
Pressure point relief and reduced shoulder pressure
Temperature control (made from materials that don’t lock-in heat, so that you don’t get overheated at night.)

Materials:

100% organic zoned latex
100% breathable organic cotton
New Zealand wool
3rd generation memory foam

I was a little nervous at first because I hadn’t had this type of mattress before. In the past, I’ve always gone with your typical spring mattress with a memory foam top. I was also really excited though because I know lots of people with hybrid foam mattresses who love them and I also read online that they can be better for back pain.

I was also worried that it was going to be really hard to set up, since it ships rolled up in a box. I was really surprised at how easy it was! Once I got it out of the box, it was just a matter of cutting open the plastic and then it began to unroll all on it’s own. It took only a few minutes for it to fully unroll and expand to its full size.

I shared my first impressions with you guys on my Instagram stories for the first seven days, but in case you missed it right away I was blown away with how comfortable and supportive the mattress is. After the first night of sleeping on it my back pain was already really reduced which I thought was really impressive. Now that I’ve been sleeping on it for just over a month, my back pain has completely gone away. Some of you also may know that I have always suffered from headaches. I’m not sure if this was a coincidence or not, but I’ve also been getting fewer headaches since getting this mattress. (Does anyone know – can a mattress affect this?)

I’ve also been having deeper sleeps. I’ve always been a pretty deep sleeper, but I didn’t realize how bad my old mattress had gotten until I got this new one. (The first night I slept on it I actually overslept because I was in such a deep sleep, hah!) I’ve been waking up feeling much more rested compared to before I got this mattress.

Another thing that I really liked about AleaSleep is their 101 night free trial. If you don’t love your mattress in 101 nights, they will pick it up for free and give you a full refund. The reason why I loved this so much, aside from being great customer service, is that because it really does show that they care about the quality of your sleep and making sure you get a mattress that is right for you.

I honestly really do love this mattress. It’s made a huge difference to the overall quality of my sleep and I definitely would recommend anyone who is looking for a new mattress to check out AleaSleep… and not wait 10+ years to get a new mattress like I did.

(Apparently you’re supposed to get a new mattress ever 5 to 8 years! Did you know that?)
