| Edinburgh fielded an under-strength side and after looking the hungrier in the initial stages were still in touch at the break.
Though Duncan Hodge missed an eighth-minute penalty the hosts went in front with a 25th-minute touchdown by utility forward Matt Mustchin that Hodge converted.
However the Ospreys struck back with two tries before half-time from Jonny Vaughton and Steve Tandy.
Things got worse shortly into the second half when Stefan Terblanche increased the visitors' lead with a penalty. And from then on it was one-way traffic.
Terblanche scored a try set up by Sonny Parker, and Justin Marshall made sure of the bonus point.
Edinburgh did grab a consolation through Ben Cairns, but the Ospreys had the last word when substitute hooker Huw Bennett ploughed over.
