What Is the Sleep In Lauren Euro Top?
The Lauren is Sleep In's premium offering. At $1,695, it costs more than double the popular Whitney ($810) and sits at the top of the Sleep In lineup. What justifies that price is the combination of copper gel-infused foam, a thick euro top comfort layer, and a heavy-gauge coil support system that feels noticeably different from the mid-range models.
Euro top construction means the comfort layer is sewn flush with the edges of the mattress rather than pillow-topped on top. This gives the Lauren a cleaner profile that stays put on the mattress surface rather than shifting or bunching over time, which is a common complaint with traditional pillow tops.
Brad, Owner, 40+ years of experience: "The Lauren is the mattress I point people to when they say they want a Canadian-made alternative to the big American luxury brands. It competes with mattresses in the $2,500 range from brands you would find in bigger stores. Sleep In keeps the price reasonable because they sell through independent retailers like us, not through expensive showroom chains."

Copper Gel Technology Explained
The Lauren uses copper gel-infused memory foam in its comfort layers. Copper is showing up in more mattresses, but the reasons are not always well explained. Here is what it actually does.
What Copper Does in a Mattress
Thermal conductivity: Copper is one of the best natural heat conductors. Copper particles embedded in foam draw heat away from your body faster than standard foam or even gel-only foam. A 2019 study in Materials journal found that copper-infused polymer composites demonstrated 23-34% higher thermal conductivity than their non-infused counterparts.
Antimicrobial properties: Copper has well-documented antimicrobial effects. The EPA has registered copper surfaces as antimicrobial, meaning they actively reduce bacterial populations on contact. In a mattress, this means the copper gel layer resists odour-causing bacteria and stays fresher longer than standard foam.
What it does not do: Copper in foam does not have therapeutic health benefits for the sleeper. Some marketing claims suggest copper helps with joint pain or circulation. There is no peer-reviewed evidence supporting those claims. The real benefits are cooling and hygiene.
We appreciate that Sleep In is transparent about what copper gel does and does not do. The Lauren is marketed as a cooling mattress, not a therapeutic device. That honesty is refreshing in an industry that sometimes oversells material technologies.
Construction and Specs
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Price (Queen) | $1,694.99 |
| Top Layer | Euro top with copper gel memory foam |
| Comfort Layers | Multiple foam densities, copper gel infused |
| Support Core | Heavy-gauge pocket coil system |
| Edge Support | Foam encasement |
| Firmness | Medium (plush euro top feel) |
| Construction | One-sided (euro top up) |
| Made In | Canada (Ontario) |
The Lauren is a one-sided mattress. Unlike the Whitney or Casey, this mattress has a defined sleep surface and a non-sleep base. The euro top is the reason. Sewing a euro top onto both sides would make the mattress impractically thick and expensive. The trade-off is worth it: the euro top provides a level of surface comfort that flat-topped flippable mattresses cannot match.
Talia, Showroom Specialist: "When customers lie on the Lauren for the first time, the reaction is always the same. They sink into the euro top and then hit the support layer underneath. It is that combination of soft on top and firm underneath that makes it feel luxurious. Call me at (519) 770-0001 if you want to book a time to try it."
Who Is the Lauren Euro Top Best For?
Ideal Sleeper Profile
- Side sleepers (all weights): The euro top provides deep pressure relief at the shoulders and hips, exactly where side sleepers need it. This is arguably the best side-sleeper mattress in the Sleep In lineup.
- Couples who want plush feel: The pocket coil system isolates motion, and the euro top dampens movement further. The medium feel suits most sleeping positions, making it a good compromise mattress for couples with different preferences.
- Hot sleepers who want plush: Most plush mattresses sleep warm because thick foam layers trap heat. The copper gel in the Lauren counteracts this. You get the soft feel without waking up overheated.
- People upgrading from a mid-range mattress: If you have been sleeping on a $500-$800 mattress and want to know what a premium Canadian mattress feels like, the Lauren is the answer without the $2,500 price tag.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Firm mattress seekers: The euro top gives the Lauren a medium, plush feel. If you want firm, the Bella Tight Top ($1,260) or the Sydney TT Firm ($1,198) from Sleep In are better choices.
- Budget shoppers: At $1,695, the Lauren is not a budget mattress. The Esha Premium ($930) gives you Sleep In quality at a lower price point.
- Adjustable bed owners: The thick euro top construction may not bend smoothly with adjustable bases. For adjustable-friendly mattresses, see the Restonit lineup.
- People who want flippable: The Lauren is one-sided. For a premium flippable Sleep In mattress, the Casey TT Hybrid ($1,355) is the top-end flippable option.
Lauren vs Restonic Alternatives
At $1,695, the Lauren competes directly with several Restonic models. Here is how they compare.
| Feature | Sleep In Lauren | Restonic Revive Reflections | Restonic Silk and Wool |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price (Queen) | $1,695 | $1,785 | $1,959 |
| Construction | One-sided euro top | Flippable dual euro top | Flippable silk/wool |
| Cooling | Copper gel foam | Standard foam | Natural silk (one side) |
| Coils | Pocket coils | 1,200 pocket coils | 884 zoned pocket coils |
| Best For | Plush cooling feel | Flippable euro top luxury | Natural fibres, seasonal |
| Made In | Ontario | Canada (Restonic) | Canada (Restonic) |
The Lauren wins on cooling technology (copper gel vs standard foam). The Restonic models win on coil count and flippable construction. If you prioritize sleeping cool and want a plush euro top, the Lauren is the better choice. If you want longevity through flippable construction, the Restonic Reflections or Silk and Wool are worth the extra investment.
Lauren vs Other Sleep In Premium Models

| Bella Tight Top | $1,260 | Firm luxury | Premium firm. No euro top comfort layer. |

How long does the Lauren Euro Top last?
With proper care (rotating every 3 months, using a mattress protector), expect 8-10 years of comfortable use. The copper gel foam is denser than standard foam and holds its shape longer. Pair it with a Bamboo Plus Protector ($40) or Cool Silk Protector ($70) to extend the cover's lifespan.
Does the Lauren sleep hot?
No. The copper gel foam actively draws heat away from your body. It sleeps noticeably cooler than standard euro top mattresses. It is not the coldest mattress we sell (the Restonit FROST at $1,525 wins that title), but among euro top mattresses specifically, the Lauren is one of the coolest options in Canada.
What bed frame works best with the Lauren?
Any standard bed frame, platform bed, or foundation. We recommend a solid surface over a box spring for maximum support. If you want a bed frame delivered with your Lauren, browse our upholstered bed frame guide or no-tools assembly frames.
Is the Lauren worth the price over the Esha or Bella?
If you are a side sleeper or want a plush feel, yes. The euro top and copper gel cooling are not available in the Esha ($930) or Bella ($1,260). If you sleep on your back and prefer firm, the Bella gives you premium Sleep In quality at $435 less. The Lauren's value is specifically in its soft-on-top, supportive-underneath construction and cooling technology.
Do you deliver the Lauren outside Brantford?
Yes. White glove delivery throughout Brantford and surrounding areas including Hamilton, Burlington, Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph, Cambridge, Mississauga, Toronto, London, Barrie, St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, and Oshawa. Call Talia at (519) 770-0001 for delivery scheduling and pricing.
