Obusforme is a legitimate Canadian brand with real orthopedic heritage. The Dual COOL 14" delivers solid gel cooling and moderate zoned support at a mid-range price. It is a reasonable buy for Canadian shoppers who prioritize cooling and pressure relief over edge support or long-term firmness retention.
ObusForme: Canadian orthopedic brand
ObusForme started as an ergonomic accessories brand in Canada, building a reputation around back support cushions, pillows, and posture products before expanding into mattresses. Its mattress lineup is designed around chiropractic and orthopedic principles, with zoned support layers targeting the lumbar region.
The brand sells primarily through Canadian retailers including Costco Canada, Walmart Canada, and specialty wellness stores. It is not commonly stocked in US retail. If you are shopping in Canada and want a mid-range foam mattress with a recognizable support-focused brand behind it, ObusForme is a credible option. If you are in the US, the brand is largely unavailable.
What the Obusforme Dual COOL 14" is made of
The Dual COOL 14" uses a four-layer all-foam construction:
- Copper-lined quilted cover for surface cooling
- 3" MEDI-GEL gel-infused memory foam as the primary comfort layer, providing contouring and temperature regulation
- 3" MEDI-FOAM transition layer to ease the shift from the soft top to the firmer base and absorb motion
- 8" MEDI-FOAM high-density base for support and durability
The gel infusion and copper-lined cover are genuine cooling mechanisms, not just marketing. In our testing, gel foam consistently reduces surface temperature compared to standard slow-response memory foam, though it will not match the airflow of a pocketed coil hybrid.
Comfort and firmness
The Obusforme Dual COOL 14" lands in a medium-firm range. Back sleepers and side sleepers with average body weight (under 200 lb) will find the balance between contouring and support appropriate. The gel top layer provides enough give to relieve hip and shoulder pressure for side sleepers without the deep sink that causes spinal misalignment.
Stomach sleepers, very firm-preference sleepers, and heavier individuals (230 lb+) will likely find the medium-firm foam insufficient. The all-foam construction also means the mattress does not have the responsive bounce that many stomach and combination sleepers prefer.
Performance breakdown
Back pain and spinal support
ObusForme's design philosophy centers on zoned lumbar support, and the Dual COOL does provide a firmer feel under the lumbar area compared to the shoulder and hip zones. For chronic back pain sufferers, this kind of differentiated support matters more than an evenly-firm surface. The Dual COOL is a reasonable option for non-specific lower back pain in average-weight back and side sleepers.
Motion isolation
The 3" MEDI-FOAM transition layer does real work here. In our testing with couples, motion isolation on the Dual COOL was better than entry-level foam beds. Partner movement rarely woke the other side of the bed. This is one of the model's stronger suits.
Cooling and heat transfer
Gel foam plus a copper-lined cover puts the Obusforme ahead of standard slow-response memory foam for hot sleepers. That said, any all-foam mattress retains more heat than a coil hybrid. If you run very hot at night, a hybrid with an open-coil system will outperform this mattress.
Edge support
All-foam construction means softer perimeter support. Sitting on the edge of the Obusforme produces noticeable compression. This is not unusual for foam beds, but it is worth noting if you use the full edge of the sleep surface or if mobility when getting in and out of bed matters to you.
Sagging and durability
Mid-range foam mattresses typically maintain their shape well for 7-8 years with regular rotation. The 8" high-density base on the Dual COOL provides adequate long-term support, but premium brands with higher PCF foam or coil cores will outlast it.

Flippable? Adjustable base compatible?
The Obusforme Dual COOL is not flippable, the layer construction is directional (comfort layers on top, base support on the bottom).
It is compatible with most adjustable bed frames that accept foam mattresses, though check the specific frame's weight and size requirements.
Who the Obusforme Dual COOL suits
This mattress works best for:
- Canadian shoppers who want an accessible orthopedic-heritage brand at a mid-range price
- Back and side sleepers under 200 lb who need pressure relief and moderate spinal support
- Couples who want better-than-average motion isolation from a foam mattress
- Moderate hot sleepers who run warm but not severely so
It is not the right fit for stomach sleepers, very heavy sleepers (230 lb+), sleepers who need strong edge support, or anyone shopping primarily in the US, where the brand has limited availability.
The Obusforme Dual COOL 14" is a decent mid-range Canadian foam mattress with real cooling credentials and good motion isolation. Its main limitations are typical of all-foam construction: softer edges, heat retention above hybrid levels, and mid-tier long-term durability. For Canadian buyers, it is a reasonable choice. For US buyers, the alternative below offers a comparable zoned foam design with a much stronger trial and warranty.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Obusforme mattress good for back pain?
The Obusforme Dual COOL uses zoned support layers that firm up under the lumbar region, which is the right engineering approach for non-specific lower back pain. For average-weight back and side sleepers, it provides adequate support. Heavier sleepers or those with more serious back issues may need a higher-density base foam or a coil hybrid for better long-term spinal support.
Is ObusForme available in the US?
ObusForme is primarily a Canadian brand distributed through Canadian retailers. It is not widely available through US retailers.
Does the Obusforme Dual COOL come in a box?
Yes, it ships compressed in a box, making delivery and setup straightforward. It is not a flippable mattress.
