DESIGN MONTREAL OUTDOORS 2017
Top quality is assured with 100 per cent Canadian materials. The mattress and foam are manufactured in St. Leonard while the mattress cover is made in St. Laurent. “We started the company a year-and-a-half ago, but it took us a good nine months to develop the ideal foam and mattress structure,” Curvers says. CertiPUR-US-approved, the mattress is safe even for newborns. “There are no harsh chemicals, odours or chance of the foam disintegrating into the air,” Curvers says. “It’s treated with an anti-microbial agent so if someone sneezes on it, germs won’t spread, and a liquid repellant ensures that any coffee spilt during breakfast in bed immediately beads to be wiped up.” Side rails are incorporated so the mattress keeps its shape even if somebody sits down to pull on socks. Integrating the side rails into a mattress that’s rolled up into plastic and a cardboard box for shipment was one of the company’s biggest challenges and best innovations.

Every mattress – regardless of size – arrives in the same 17-by-17-by-41-inch box and weighs about half of what a traditional mattress would. The packaging makes it easy to get a king or queen through narrow staircases or hallways. “When the box arrives, just carry it into the bedroom, take the rolled mattress out, remove the plastic and let air refill the foam within half a minute,” Curvers says. Polysleep sells exclusively online to make its mattresses affordable. “We offer a 100-nights trial so if you don’t like it for whatever reason, we’ll pick it up and refund you, no questions asked,” he says. Delivery is across Canada. “We’ve shipped to some remote places, including summer cottages,” Curvers says. “Parents also like the convenience of sending a comfortable mattress for their kids away at school.” •
