Best Mattress Canada

So, you’re a Canadian shopper looking to buy a new mattress online. You figured out your preferences, did some research on Sleepopolis (*wink wink*) and settled on what you hope will be the bed of your dreams. But then you learn that a lot of bed-in-a-box brands are located in the United States and don’t ship their mattresses outside the country. Fortunately, a handful of Canadian mattress companies have set up shop above the 49th parallel to bring some much-needed comfort to sleepers from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. These are our best mattresses for Canada.

Best Canadian Memory Foam Mattress – Novosbed

Novosbed’s flagship model was an early contender in the Canadian bed-in-a-box game, its ultra-dense memory foam quickly making the brand one of the country’s most popular online mattress retailers.

Pros

• In total, the bed has 4 inches of ultra-dense memory foam, combined with high-density poly foam for a lush, pressure-relieving sleep.
• You can get the mattress in three different firmness options (Soft, Medium, and Firm), all of which cater to different types of sleepers. Add further customization with an optional Comfort+ layer.
• Novosbed manufactures and sources all of its materials from Canada and the U.S.A.

Cons

• Even in the Firm model, this isn’t a particularly responsive bed, so it probably isn’t for anyone who doesn’t love the plush feel of memory foam.
• Sleepers over 250 pounds might sink too far into the foam.

Best Canadian Mattress for the Money – Douglas

Billed as the “most Canadian mattress in Canada,” the Douglas mattress from GoodMorning.com is built with Canadian-sourced materials that won’t break the bank.

Pros

• A Queen is currently priced at CAD$749 and a King is CAD$849.
• Every single mattress is built with Canadian-sourced materials throughout Ontario and Quebec.
• An all-foam bed, the Douglas scores a softer-than-average 6/10 on the firmness scale, thanks to its combination of gentle gel memory foam and buoyant Elastex foam, supported at the bottom by high-density poly foam.

Cons

• The softness probably isn’t a good fit for anyone who sleeps on their stomach. They tend to need a firmer and more supportive bed.
• Likewise, folks over 250 pounds will need something with more firmness and support.

Best Canadian Pillow-Top Mattress – Logan and Cove

Another offshoot of GoodMorning.com, Logan and Cove is an ultra-luxurious hybrid bed that caters to back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and combination sleepers with a blend of pocketed coils for support and a plush pillow-top for comfort. It’s made up of five layers for a total 14 inches of impressive comfort.

Pros

• Between the zoned coils and the butter-smooth Muleva Silk Fill Pillow-Top, you’ll find contouring in a layer of EcoLuke Cooling Gel Visco Foam, followed by a more responsive EcoFoam and a quick-responding transition layer of high-density bio foam.
• One of the bed’s most unique features is a thick layer of high-density poly foam that surrounds the coils. This adds extra support and firmness for back sleepers and provides great edge support.
• Made from the brand’s eco-friendly natural eucalyptus fabric, the cover is soft, breathable, and works in tandem with the cooling foam to keep the mattress at a low temperature.

Cons

• Although the bed’s firmness could be a great fit for back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and combination sleepers, it’s likely too firm for anyone who sleeps exclusively on their side.

See our full Logan and Cove mattress review for more details.

Best Canadian Hybrid Mattress – Silk & Snow Hybrid

If you’re after a bed that combines gentle pressure relief and firm support, the Silk & Snow Hybrid just might be the ticket. This bed is made from super-sturdy pocketed coils and soft, contouring memory foam, so you should feel comfy and supported.

Pros

• The Silk and Snow is a great choice for both back sleepers and stomach sleepers, who should find that this bed provides some nice spinal support.
• This bed is a solid choice for heavy people (those over 250 pounds). Its pocketed coils are some of the stronger ones I’ve seen.
• Couples should be happy on this bed. It has really strong edge support, so you can stretch all the way out to the edges of the bed. It also isolates motion well, which means you’re unlikely to feel a restless partner’s movements.

Cons

• This bed is not soft enough for side sleepers. These sleepers are likely to find the Silk & Snow too firm, and they won’t get the sinkage they need at the hips and shoulders to prevent pressure build-up.
• Though this bed does have some cooling features, I think particularly hot sleepers might want to opt for a bed with more cooling technology.

Best Canadian Mattress for Pressure Relief – Puffy

Puffy lives up to its claim of creating a mattress that feels like “sleeping on a cloud” with an all-foam bed that cradles the body. This makes it a good option for recovery and anyone who consistently deals with aches and pains.

Pros

• Back sleepers are likely to feel pressure relief and spinal support from the bed’s construction, which starts with a soft layer of gel cloud foam and gets firmer toward the bottom of the structure.
• Side sleepers should also get plenty of contouring from the gel cloud foam.
• Despite the softness up top, the layers of climate comfort foam and firm core support foam below get progressively firmer. This allows sleepers to sink into the bed and get some nice pressure relief without losing support.

Cons

• Stomach sleepers and anyone over 250 pounds will probably need something more supportive.
• Because it’s all-foam and doesn’t have any coils, the Puffy might begin to sag over time. Luckily, there’s a lifetime warranty that might allow you to replace the bed for free.

Learn more in our full Puffy mattress review.

Best Canadian Mattress for Combo Sleepers – Recore

GoodMorning.com’s four-layer Recore mattress has a comfort layer of responsive latex that makes it easy for combination sleepers to switch positions.

Pros

• The latex layer has been infused with graphite, thus helping the bed sleep incredibly cool. The transition layer below also maintains a low temperature due to a special gel infusion that keeps the heat-trapping of memory foam at bay.
• The mattress is a great option for back sleepers as well, as it has just enough sinkage without making them feel like they’re stuck in the bed.
• On the firmness scale, the Recore is a 6/10, which makes it slightly softer than Medium Firm. The foam will give some contouring while also providing a slight lift.

Cons

• The edge support here isn’t great — a pitfall of many memory foam beds.
• For folks who sleep on their stomach, this bed will likely be far too soft.

Best Canadian Mattress for Hot Sleepers – Endy

Memory foam has a tendency to trap heat, which is why Endy has outfitted the comfort layer of their flagship mattress with an open-cell design that keeps the bed cool. There’s also a breathable cover to assist with temperature regulation.

Pros

• The comfort layer is followed by a stretch of poly foam, then a base of high-density poly foam. The bed gets progressively firmer toward the bottom, placing it square in the category of Medium Firm. 
• The mixture of softness and responsiveness is likely a good fit for anyone who sleeps on their back or side.
• Endy is based out of Toronto, with each bed hand-crafted and shipped out by Canadian workers straight to Canadian sleepers.

Cons

• As is the case with many all-foam mattresses, the Endy doesn’t have great edge support and sags when you sit on the end of the bed.
• While combination sleepers will probably find just the right amount of softness, strict side sleepers might feel some pressure and should seek a softer mattress.

Best Canadian Mattress for Back Pain – Polysleep

A memory foam mattress with a medium-soft feel, the Polysleep provides a lot of pressure relief, but also has just enough support for back sleepers. More specifically, those who struggle with back pain should get the mix of comfort and support that they need to keep their spine in a neutral alignment.

Pros

• This mattress has reinforced edges, which means you can sleep all the way to the side of the bed and still feel supported.
• It has great motion absorption, which makes the Polysleep an excellent choice for couples.
• The memory foam layer is made from antimicrobial foam that’s resistant to dust and bacteria, so it’s a great option for sleepers with allergies.

Cons

• Stomach sleepers will likely find this mattress too soft for their needs. I’d recommend they go with a firmer mattress with a bit more support.
• I don’t think the Polysleep is quite supportive enough for heavier folks. I’d steer these sleepers to our best mattress for heavy people roundup for some better options.

Best Canadian Mattress for Back Sleepers – Brunswick

Another brand under the GoodMorning.com umbrella, the Brunswick is a hybrid bed whose three layers of memory foam are supported by a tall, sturdy section of pocketed coils. This should provide the proper amount of support for back sleepers.

Pros

• You’ll likely sink into the top layers of foam, then feel a slight lift from the coils below. This gives the Brunswick a solid Medium Firm score of 6.5/10.
• Back sleepers will get some nice pressure relief from the memory foam layers filling in the space around their lumbar region.
• The cover is made from a durable hemp that shouldn’t be breaking down anytime soon.

Cons

• Memory foam has a tendency to overheat, and this bed doesn’t have any additional cooling features.
• Heavy people will probably need something more supportive than the Brunswick’s medium firmness.

Best Canadian Mattress for Hip Pain – Casper

The all-foam Casper Original mattress boasts a zoned support system that lifts the hips and keeps them aligned with the shoulders, thus helping to straighten the spine and prevent hip pain. The term “zoned support” essentially means that the foam of the bed’s transition layer is softer in certain places and firmer in others. The shoulders, for instance, have a softer foam for pressure relief while the hips have a firmer foam for support.

Pros

• Being an all-foam bed, the Casper is exceptionally good at isolating motion, so you aren’t likely to feel the movements of your partner at night. This makes the mattress a great option for couples.
• Although Casper started in America, it’s now established a physical presence in Canada with a Toronto headquarters and several province-wide retail locations. That means Canadians can now get free shipping on any of the brand’s beds, including the Original, luxury Wave Hybrid, and the affordable Element model.
• The Casper’s mixture of comfort and support should appeal to back and side sleepers alike.

Cons

• One sleeping position the Casper likely won’t cater to is stomach sleepers, who will probably need something more supportive than the 7/10 Medium Firmness.

U.S. MATTRESS COMPANIES THAT SHIP TO CANADA

I also wanted to give a shoutout to all the great American-made brands shipping their beds up to Canada free of charge. I should note that this section isn’t meant to be exhaustive, but merely to highlight some of the big-name bed-in-a-box brands dipping their toes into the world of online Canadian bedding.

PURPLE

If you’ve been shopping online for a new mattress, chances are you’ve come across Purple. Since its founding in 2016, the brand has exploded into one of the biggest names on the market, thanks in large part to its distinctive hyper-elastic polymer smart-comfort grid.

Canadians can get their hands on several of the brand’s different mattresses, including the Original, an all-foam model that’s great for pressure relief and temperature regulation. They can also enjoy the company’s extensive accessory line, which includes sheets, pillows, seat cushions, and pet beds. Purple currently offers free shipping all across the country, excluding the New Purple and adjustable power bases.

For more on Purple, check out our full Purple mattress review or Purple Hybrid mattress review.

AMERISLEEP CANADA

As the name suggests, Amerisleep is an American-made brand that’s been shaking up things south of the Canada-United States border for years with its extensive line of plant-based foam mattresses. If you’ve been hankering for one of these beds (and spent the requisite hours googling “Amerisleep Canada where to buy”), I’m here to let you know that it’s easier than you might think.

These beds come in a variety of firmnesses, ranging from the ultra-firm AS1 to the medium-firm Amerisleep AS3, all the way to the lush AS5, built to satisfy a wide range of different sleepers. While having one of these bad boys shipped to Canada will run you a cool $200 customs and import fee, you might find it a small price to pay for the array of firmness options. I should also note that the brand regularly offers discounts, which could offset this fee.

For more information, check out our comparison of its many mattresses in our Amerisleep mattress review.

HELIX

Helix occupies a unique space in the bed-in-a-box sphere, as it provides some of the most customizable comfort out there. Customers can fill out a short sleep questionnaire, which automatically generates a mattress recommendation based on their individual responses.

If you’re a first-time mattress buyer and aren’t exactly sure what kind of feel you’re after, Helix could make a fantastic pick for you. Just know that shipping this mattress to Canada will cost you C$150 as well as a customs tax, all of which will be applied at checkout.

Want to figure out if the Helix is worth this chunk of change? Take a peek at our Helix mattress review.

NEST BEDDING

Nest Bedding’s been in the mattress game since 2011 and has developed an ever-growing line of products geared at getting its customers a healthier night’s sleep.

As far as mattresses are concerned, the brand boasts everything from all-foam models to hybrids to eco-friendly beds and everything in between, making it difficult not to find something to love in its diverse collection. And as part of its worldwide initiative, Nest promises to ship its goods anywhere, as long as the customer’s willing to split shipping costs with the company.

BROOKLYN BEDDING

Featuring an ever-growing line of mattresses (including the all-foam Bowery, hybrid Signature, and cooling Aurora), Brooklyn Bedding has been at the forefront of the bed-in-a-box movement for the better part of a decade.

While the company prides itself on designing and manufacturing all its products in its home factory in Arizona, it does ship beds to its fans up North for a fee. Shipping to Canada is done via UPS and starts at $250 a mattress, with smaller accessory items coming with custom quotes depending on the order.

If that expense doesn’t phase you in the slightest, check out the Brooklyn Bowery mattress review, Brooklyn Signature mattress review, and Brooklyn Aurora mattress review.

Summary: The Best Canadian Mattresses

Our Methodology

We’ve reviewed more than 220 products in our mattress lab, running each one through tests such as pressure-mapping and measuring motion transfer with a seismometer. From there, we give every bed an overall score based on materials, comfort, support, cooling, and edge support. We also factor in brand performance with categories such as value and warranty.

For the Best Canadian Mattresses roundup, we took some unique additional criteria into consideration. Naturally, we started with brands based in Canada, with special attention paid to companies that also manufacture their products in the Great White North. We then rounded out the list with a handful of U.S. companies who have since set up shop in Canada or begun shipping there.
