by The Apollo Premium Copper Hybrid is a solid Canadian-made 12-inch foam-and-micro-coil hybrid with genuine copper-gel cooling and a medium-firm feel that suits most back and combination sleepers. It is sold exclusively in Canada through GoodMorning.com. If you want a similar luxury hybrid with a longer trial and stronger warranty backing, the Saatva Classic is the best US alternative at a comparable price point.
Saatva Classic
9.2/10
- Dual-coil innerspring with reinforced lumbar zone pad
- Organic cotton Euro pillow top, GREENGUARD Gold certified
- 365-night home trial, lifetime warranty, free white-glove delivery
- Three firmness options (Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, Firm) to suit any sleep style
- Ships flat, not compressed in a box

- US delivery only, not available in Canada
For sleepers comparing the Apollo to the broader luxury hybrid market, the Saatva Classic is the benchmark, dual-coil support, zoned lumbar reinforcement, and one of the longest trial windows in the category. The three firmness options make it genuinely versatile where the Apollo's single medium-firm profile is more limiting.
Apollo mattress review: the short verdict
Apollo is a mattress brand by GoodMorning.com, based in Canada and sold exclusively through their website. Their flagship model, the Premium Copper Hybrid, is a 12-inch foam-and-micro-coil hybrid that targets back and combination sleepers who want genuine cooling without the price tag of a luxury brand. It is not available in the United States.
The construction is legitimate: copper-infused memory foam paired with open-cell transition foam and a layer of individually wrapped micro-coils gives the mattress more bounce and airflow than a standard all-foam bed. The medium-firm feel (around 6 out of 10) works for most body weights in a back or combination sleeping position. Lighter side sleepers, under roughly 130 lb, may find it firmer than advertised.
Where Apollo falls short against premium competitors is in warranty depth and trial flexibility. The 120-night trial and 15-year warranty are decent but not exceptional for a bed at this price point. The limited availability to Canada also means this review applies only to Canadian shoppers.
Construction and materials
The Apollo Premium Copper Hybrid is built in five layers, top to bottom:
- PolarMAX cooling cover, machine-washable, phase-change-adjacent fabric that stays cool to the touch and wicks moisture. It is one of the better covers in the Canadian mid-market.
- 2-inch CopperGel memory foam, approximately 3.6 lb density. The copper infusion provides antimicrobial properties and draws heat away from the body faster than standard memory foam. This layer does most of the contouring work.
- 2-inch open-cell transition foam, a 5G open-cell foam that accelerates airflow through the comfort layers and softens the transition to the firmer support beneath. It also handles most of the motion absorption.
- 1-inch pocketed micro-coils, individually wrapped steel coils in a thin layer. They add bounce and localized response without significant motion transfer, and they significantly increase vertical airflow through the mattress core.
- 7-inch high-density polyfoam base, approximately 1.8 lb density. This is the structural foundation. Its density is adequate for the weight capacity (up to 500 lb total) and keeps the hybrid structure stable over time.
All foams are CertiPUR-US certified, which confirms low VOC emissions and the absence of PBDE flame retardants, mercury, and heavy metals.
Comfort and firmness
Apollo targets a medium-firm feel at around 6 out of 10 on a standard firmness scale. In practice, most reviewers and independent testers place it slightly firmer than advertised, closer to 6.5 out of 10. The copper-gel memory foam produces a gradual sink with a gentle cradling quality, but the micro-coil layer beneath keeps you from feeling buried in the mattress.
Back sleepers get the most consistent experience: the medium-firm profile keeps the lumbar spine in a neutral position without allowing the hips to drop. Combination sleepers moving between their back and side report minimal adjustment lag when changing positions, partly because the micro-coil layer adds enough bounce to make repositioning easy.
Side sleepers under 130 lb may find the mattress firmer than comfortable, particularly at the shoulder. Side sleepers in the 130 to 200 lb range tend to report the feel as appropriate. Stomach sleepers generally find it supportive but should be aware that any memory foam layer will allow some pelvic sinkage.
Cooling and breathability
Cooling is one of the Apollo's stronger points. The combination of three distinct mechanisms, the PolarMAX surface, the copper-gel layer below it, and the micro-coil airflow channel in the support layer, produces noticeably better temperature regulation than a standard memory foam mattress. Users who previously slept hot on foam beds consistently report improvement.
The copper-infused foam draws body heat away from the sleeping surface faster than plain foam but not as effectively as a true latex layer or a full coil core. For warm sleepers in cool Canadian climates, it is usually sufficient. For sleepers in warmer environments or those who run very hot, a mattress with a more open coil structure, such as a traditional innerspring hybrid, may still outperform it.
Motion isolation and edge support
Motion isolation is good for a hybrid. The two foam comfort layers absorb most partner movement before it reaches the micro-coil layer, and the individually wrapped coils prevent cross-mattress transfer effectively. Couples who share a bed and have different schedules typically find the Apollo acceptable for motion isolation, though an all-foam mattress will always outperform it in this specific metric.
Edge support is better than average for the price. Apollo uses a perimeter of reinforced high-density foam, described as 360-degree edge support, around the micro-coil and base layers. The edges compress somewhat under direct pressure but do not collapse suddenly. The usable sleeping surface extends reasonably close to the perimeter, which matters for couples who use the full width of the mattress.
Is the Apollo good for back pain?
The medium-firm profile and the pocketed micro-coil layer make the Apollo a reasonable choice for non-specific lower back pain, particularly for back sleepers. The foam layers prevent the sharp pressure points that a firm mattress can create at the lumbar prominences, while the micro-coil support layer keeps the spine from dropping into a flexed position.
It does not have a dedicated zoned lumbar reinforcement system in the way that some mattresses, such as those with differentiated coil gauges by zone, address the lumbar specifically. For sleepers with significant or chronic back pain who need targeted lumbar support, a mattress with an explicit zoning system would be a more targeted choice.
Durability
The 7-inch high-density polyfoam base at 1.8 lb density is functional but at the lower end of what premium mattress brands use for their support cores. Foam below 2 lb density tends to soften more noticeably after several years of use. The 15-year warranty covers manufacturing defects and body impressions deeper than 1.5 inches, which is a standard threshold.
Longevity reports from owners who have had the Apollo for two or more years suggest the mattress holds its feel reasonably well in the first two years, with some softening in the comfort layers beginning after that. Rotating the mattress every six months extends the lifespan. Using a proper foundation, a solid platform or a slatted base with slats no more than 3 inches apart, is important for preventing premature sagging.
Trial, warranty, and shipping
Apollo ships the Premium Copper Hybrid compressed in a box, with free shipping to most Canadian addresses. Some remote or rural locations may incur additional delivery fees. The mattress arrives in a box and expands to full size within a few hours of unboxing.
The trial period is 120 nights. GoodMorning.com asks for a 30-day break-in period before initiating a return, which is standard practice. Returns within the trial window are handled by the brand directly. The 15-year limited warranty covers factory defects and structural failures under normal use conditions. It is provided by Good Morning.com Inc.

The Apollo Premium Copper Hybrid is a well-constructed mid-market hybrid for Canadian shoppers. The copper-gel cooling, micro-coil ventilation, and medium-firm feel make it a solid choice for back and combination sleepers. The 120-night trial and 15-year warranty are adequate but not exceptional. If you are shopping outside Canada or want a longer trial and lifetime warranty protection, the Saatva Classic is the most direct luxury-hybrid alternative.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Apollo mattress available in the United States?
No. Apollo mattresses are sold exclusively in Canada through GoodMorning.com. They are not available in the US, UK, or other markets. US shoppers looking for a comparable copper-infused hybrid should look at brands with US distribution.
Is the Apollo Premium Copper Hybrid good for side sleepers?
It depends on body weight. Side sleepers over 130 lb typically find the medium-firm feel appropriate. Side sleepers under 130 lb often report it feels firmer than expected and may experience shoulder pressure. Apollo does not offer a softer firmness option, so lighter side sleepers should look for a plush or medium mattress from a brand that offers firmness choices.
Can you use the Apollo on an adjustable bed frame?
Yes. The foam-and-micro-coil construction is flexible enough to bend with an adjustable base. Apollo confirms compatibility with adjustable bed frames.
Is the Apollo mattress flippable?
No. The Apollo uses a layered construction with a comfort side and a support base, and cannot be flipped. Rotating it 180 degrees head-to-foot every six months is the recommended maintenance routine.
How does the Apollo compare to the Saatva Classic?
The Saatva Classic is a US-market luxury innerspring hybrid with a more robust dual-coil system, three firmness options, a 365-night trial, and a lifetime warranty. It costs more but offers greater flexibility for different sleep styles and a substantially longer safety net. The Apollo is the better option only for Canadian buyers who cannot access Saatva's delivery network.
