A decade ago, finding the best mattress in Canada was a hassle, with most bed-in-a-box brands based in the U.S. and not offering shipping across the border. Today, Canadian consumers have more options than ever, as a number of local brands have emerged to provide high-quality mattresses designed for Canadian sleepers. To help you find the right mattress, I’ve focused on brands that are either based in Canada or ship here, with many offering extended warranties and generous trial periods to give you peace of mind.
Each mattress on this list is one of more than 330 that has been tested in the Sleepopolis lab, where I use personal evaluations and quantitative data to measure key performance factors like spinal alignment, edge support, and durability. My fellow testers, consisting of product experts and certified sleep science coaches, and I spend ample time on each mattress to understand how it feels and responds to different sleeping positions. We also use equipment such as pressure maps, thermal temperature guns, and seismograph apps to help us determine how well a mattress relieves pressure, provides cooling, and isolates motion. By combining a hands-on approach with scientific data, I’m able to recommend mattresses that cater to a wide range of needs.
The mattresses I’ve featured here range in price from C$850 to C$1,339 for a queen size, before any discounts. Whether you’re a side sleeper, stomach sleeper, or someone who tends to get hot at night, there’s likely a mattress here that will provide the comfort and support you need. And with trial periods ranging from 90 days to a full year, you can rest easy knowing you have time to make sure your new mattress is the perfect fit.

What Mattresses Can You Buy In Canada?
While many bed-in-a-box and other mattress brands ship to Canada, we tried to prioritize those designed and manufactured right here in Canada. At Sleepopolis, we evaluate every mattress — whether Canadian-made or imported — using the same high standards. Choosing a Canadian-made mattress also offers buyers the added benefit of cutting down on shipping costs while supporting local businesses.
Emma Hybrid Comfort – Best Overall Canadian Mattress
The Emma Hybrid Comfort is a firm mattress with a durable hybrid construction. It works well for heavyweight stomach and back sleepers, as it provides enough support to keep these sleepers’ spines in neutral alignment. In addition to making it a good choice for heavier people, the Emma Hybrid Comfort’s design also gives it nice breathability and responsiveness, meaning it stays cool as you sleep and is easy to move around on.
What our tester says:
“After five minutes of lying on the Emma Hybrid Comfort, it increased 7.7 degrees. This indicates good temperature regulation. I really did feel cool when resting on it. Considering this, the airy hybrid construction, and the additional cooling features, I feel that the Emma Hybrid Comfort is one of the best cooling mattresses.” – Amelia Jerden, senior staff writer
My Expert Opinion on the Emma Hybrid Comfort
Although Emma Sleep was founded in Frankfurt, Germany, the company has since expanded to Canada, shipping new mattresses there every day. I’ve found that one of the brand’s best beds is the Emma Hybrid Comfort — an extremely durable mattress built for couples and heavy sleepers (those over 104 kilograms or 230 pounds). A queen-size bed can often be found for under C$1,000 after discounts, which is a bargain price, given the Emma Hybrid Comfort’s highly durable construction. Multiple foam layers add some softness and contouring, but a layer of sturdy coils provides support and firmness, and prevented me from sinking too far into the mattress’s bottom layers. I found that the bed was very comfortable for back sleeping and stomach sleeping, though not as much for side sleeping.
Side sleepers should check out the Casper Atlas Hybrid mattress.
Silk & Snow Hybrid – Best Canadian Hybrid Mattress
As an affordable option with a medium-firm feel, we think that the Silk & Snow Hybrid should appeal to a wide variety of sleepers, including back sleepers, side sleepers, hot sleepers, and budget shoppers. Learn more in our full video review, where we compare the Silk & Snow Hybrid to the original Silk & Snow, which doesn’t have coils.
What our tester says:
“The Silk & Snow Hybrid is a great middle ground firmness for those who don’t want an ultra-firm bed, but also want to feel well-supported.” – Amelia Jerden, senior staff writer
My Expert Opinion on the Silk & Snow Hybrid
As a hybrid mattress, the Silk & Snow combines pocketed coils with memory foam. The coil layer included in the construction has all coils individually wrapped so they react independently to movement on the mattress. This gives the Silk & Snow Hybrid an overall bouncy and mobile feel. It was also designed with a lumbar support section in the middle of the bed to provide extra cushioning to this sensitive area, so it’s no surprise that it felt most comfortable while back sleeping. While resting on it, I felt like my spine was neutrally aligned, all while I was still getting pressure relief at the lower back. I also found it easy to move around and switch opinions on this bed, so I recommend it for combination sleepers as well. One drawback to the Silk & Snow is that it has a relatively short trial period. If you want to spend a lot of time with your mattress before making your final decision, you can try out the Octave Vista for a full year.
In addition to being a best-in-class bed because of how it performs, I love Silk & Snow’s commitment to help out their community in meaningful ways. The company only partners with environmentally friendly manufacturers, they give back to those in need with mattress donation and recycling programs, and they source all of their raw materials responsibly.
Polysleep Origin – Best Canadian Mattress for Couples
As an affordable option that’s likely to have a firm or medium-firm feel, we think that the Polysleep should appeal to a wide variety of sleepers, including back sleepers, budget shoppers, and combination sleepers who need to switch sleeping positions.
My Expert Opinion on the Polysleep Origin Mattress
The Polysleep Origin is a three-layered bed offered at a value price, and when testing it, we found that it suits couples incredibly well. There are four particular categories we look for when it comes to the best mattresses for couples: edge support, cooling, responsiveness, and most importantly, motion transfer. In our mattress lab, one of our testers measured the Polysleep Origin’s edge support by sitting and lying on the edge of the bed. Edge support is the strength of a mattress’s perimeter, and tells us a lot about a mattress’s durability and how much surface area we’ll be able to use. We found great edge support results, so it’s a good option for couples who like to sleep close to the edge of the bed and want to make the most of their space.
Endy Original – Best Canadian Foam Mattress
As an affordable option with a medium-firm feel, we think that the Endy should appeal to back sleepers, combination sleepers, and anyone who’s on a budget. Learn more in our full video review.
What our tester says:
“Combination sleepers should like Endy. It’s got the right touch of firmness and pressure relief for those switching up positions during the night. ” – Logan Block, former content director
My Expert Opinion on the Endy Original
The Endy Original is a Canadian foam mattress that does an excellent job of relieving pressure across the body while still supporting spinal alignment. I rated it a 6 our of 10 on our firmness scale, meaning it’s slightly softer than medium firm. I found that it gave me the familiar “hug” that so many sleepers love about all-foam beds. The firmness of the mattress also makes it great at pressure relief, as the joints are contoured by the mattress rather than building up pressure throughout the night.
Octave Vista – Best Canadian Mattress for Back Sleepers
A budget option with a medium-firm feel, we recommend the Octave Vista for back sleepers, side sleepers, combination sleepers, and budget shoppers. Learn more in our full video review.
What our tester says:
“The Octave Vista is a great match for average weight back sleepers. It offers plenty of support for spinal alignment, but its slow-sinking foam provides pleasant contouring and pressure relief, especially around the lower back.” – Nichole Mondshein, lead reviewer and staff writer
My Expert Opinion on the Octave Vista
Another quality bed made by the Canadian brand GoodMorning.com, the Octave Vista is an excellent option for back sleepers searching for a supportive and comfortable mattress. I found that the all-foam construction felt a bit firm at first, then gave way to some good contouring. In other words, it was soft without being too soft, and kept my spine neutrally aligned. Side sleepers who enjoy a firmer mattress may be comfortable on the Octave Vista. They should get just the right amount of contouring at the shoulders and hips, where they put the most pressure. That said, it will likely not be firm enough for stomach sleepers, and not responsive enough for combination sleepers. If you are a stomach sleeper or a combination sleeper, check out best mattresses for stomach sleepers, and the best mattresses for combination sleepers to find a bed that will work better for your preferred sleep style.
GoodMorning.com wants Canadians to experience cutting-edge sleep innovation at a budget-friendly price. To accomplish this, it works with trusted Canadian suppliers and manufacturers to build and ship mattresses directly to consumers. This cuts down on the costs of by cutting out middle men, sales commissions, and unnecessary markups.
Douglas – Best Affordable Canadian Mattress
If you’re a Canadian resident looking for a versatile foam mattress, set your sights on the original Douglas mattress. Different foam layers give the mattress its softer foam feel (some for cooling, some for contouring, and some for support), but you should still find ease of movement on this bed. Its cooling features and impressive testing scores show us this bed is suitable for a wide variety of sleepers. For more, see our video review.
What our tester says:
“My favorite thing about the Douglas was its benefits for combination sleepers. Not only is it just soft enough to keep them comfortable, but it also allows them to change positions and move around with ease. It has a memory foam feel that should conform to the body quite nicely, which will be a plus for side sleepers as well.” – Logan Block, former Sleepopolis content director and mattress tester
My Expert Opinion on the Douglas Mattress
Billed as the “most Canadian mattress in Canada,” the all-foam Douglas mattress from GoodMorning.com is built with Canadian-sourced materials that won’t break the bank. A queen is currently priced at C$799 and a king is C$899. However, that’s before discounts, which we have plenty of at Sleepopolis for those thinking about buying the Douglas.
Casper Atlas Hybrid – Best Canadian Mattress for Side Sleepers
Even though it’s a hybrid mattress with a layer of springs in the support layer, the Casper Atlas Hybrid gave me a soft and contouring feel. I think it could be really comfortable for folks who sleep on their sides, while still being supportive enough for back sleepers. Learn more in our full video review.
What our tester says:
“This bed is responsive and bouncy enough for light and average-weight combination sleepers. These sleepers shouldn’t have any issues switching between different positions at night. I would [also] recommend this bed to lightweight and average side sleepers with shoulder pain. During the pressure relief test, my colleague and I found that this bed did a good job of relieving tension around the shoulders.” – Kenny Timper, staff writer
My Expert Opinion on the Casper Atlas Hybrid
The Casper Atlas Hybrid mattress has a 10-inch profile and contains layers of Casper proprietary memory foam, as well as a layer of flex coils. I scored it a 6 out of 10 on our mattress firmness scale, meaning it’s just a tad softer than a standard medium-firm mattress (which falls at a 6.5). This mattress’s overall feel is characterized by its deep sinkage. You’re likely to feel more “in” the bed than “on” the bed. And if you’re a side sleeper, you’ll get plenty of contouring at the shoulders and hips — the areas of the body where this sleeping position puts the most pressure. Another great feature about the Casper Atlas Hybrid is that the foam is CertiPUR-US, meaning it’s safe from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde and phthalates. However, if you sleep with a restless partner on the Casper Atlas Hybrid, their tossing and turning may keep you awake. If this is the case, I’d recommend the Endy mattress.
One other caveat: if you’re a side sleeper who struggles with severe shoulder pain, you might want to note that, on our pressure map, we did notice some minor flareups in this area. That said, I think this will only be an issue for folks with especially sensitive shoulders, and most side sleepers will be very comfortable on the Casper Atlas Hybrid.
Avocado Green – Best Organic Canadian Mattress
Made with organic cotton, wool, natural latex, and recycled steel coils, the Avocado Green mattress is an organic, latex hybrid mattress that provides sleepers with responsiveness and strong support. We think this bed should be especially comfortable for back sleepers and combination sleepers who switch sleeping positions at night. Also, innerspring coils promote airflow and latex is a naturally porous material, so this should be a good choice for hot sleepers who need a cooling mattress. Learn more in our video review.
What our tester says:
“The mix of support along with a cushiony pillow top make the Avocado Green a great choice for back sleepers. These sleepers should find that the latex included in this mattress helps to fill in the space around their lumbar region.” – Nichole Mondshein, lead reviewer and staff writer
My Expert Opinion on the Avocado Green
Any brand can say they’re organic, but the Avocado Green mattress backs it up with a laundry list of eco-friendly certifications. All of the components in its construction are certified organic or recycled, and the US-based company is also known for a higher standard in manufacturing. For example, the Avocado uses all organic latex (GOLS certified), all organic cotton (GOTS certified), and all organic wool (GOTS certified) for its comfort layers. Even the hybrid bed’s innerspring layer is made with recycled 100 percent steel coils. Furthermore, Avocado mattresses are produced in the USA under strict guidelines to lower emissions and limit harmful toxins or chemicals in the production of their mattresses. And now they’ve begun shipping to Canada.
When I tested out the Avocado, I found the latex foam to be highly supportive and responsive, while still giving me a little bit of pressure relief. The material is also a great solution for hot sleepers, as it’s naturally porous and is able to keep a low temperature better than standard memory foam. Finally, the responsive feel made it very easy for me to switch sleeping positions on the Avocado, which should appeal to combination sleepers. I would warn sleepers who love soft beds that the Avocado is on the firmer side. If you want a soft bed, check out our picks for the best soft mattresses.
How the Avocado Green Performed In Testing
Motion Isolation 4/5
After multiple tests, including using a seismometer to test motion transference, the Avocado Green demonstrated quality motion isolation, making it a good choice for couples who share the bed. I was impressed by this, as latex is naturally bouncy and sometimes isn’t the best at isolating motion.
Support 5/5
I experienced impressive orthopedic support on the Avocado Green and gave it a perfect score in this category. I found the bed to be especially comfortable while back sleeping and side sleeping.
Cooling 4.5/5
Due to the combination of naturally cooling latex and a huge layer of steel coils that help stimulate airflow, I found the Avocado to have exceptional temperature control. Our thermal gun only measured an 8-degree increase in temperature at the bed’s core, highlighting how well the mattress dissipates body heat.
Edge Support 4.5/5
The Avocado is a highly durable mattress, which was evident when I tested its edge support. While sitting on the bed’s edges, I only measured a 2-inch sag. This should help give couples consistent support across the entirety of its surface; it also means seniors or people who struggle to get in and out of bed can more reliably count on the support of the Avocado Green’s edges when doing so.
Pressure Relief 4/5
During our pressure map test, I found that the Avocado helped ease inflammation — a plus for sleepers experiencing back or joint pain. However, they should make sure they choose the right firmness option, as the Avocado has three different firmnesses available to help sleepers find the best choice for them based on their sleeping patterns.

Logan & Cove Frontier – Best Canadian Pillow-Top Mattress
The Logan & Cove Frontier is rare in that it’s a soft mattress that’s also supportive enough for all three sleeping positions. Whether you’re a back sleeper, side sleeper, or stomach sleeper, you should the right balance of contouring and support to sleep comfortably. Learn more in our full video review.
What our tester says:
“For most people, it can work well for all three sleeping positions and is responsive enough to make it easy to change between positions.” – Amelia Jerden, senior staff writer
My Expert Opinion on the Logan & Cover Frontier
The Logan & Cove Frontier is a luxury Canadian mattress at an affordable price that has a plush, cloud-like feel. The mattress stands at 13.5 inches, and is a hybrid construction, meaning it’s made with a Euro pillow top and layer of micro coils to pack an extra luxury factor. The Euro pillow top is comfortable and gave me a little hug as soon as I laid down on the bed. In terms of firmness, I gave the Logan & Cove mattress a 6 out of 10 on our firmness scale, placing it in the medium-soft category. So it’s just a bit softer than most other mattresses on the market. That said, it’s more of an ideal fit for back sleepers than side sleepers. While most of these folks should be comfortable, sleepers with joint pain may find that the micro coil layer puts unnecessary pressure on their shoulders and hips.
Logan & Cove is proud of its Canadian roots, making its mattress in Canadian factories.
How the Logan & Cove Frontier Performed In Testing
Motion Isolation 4/5
The coils caused some minor vibrations during the seismometer test, but not a lot. I don’t think you or your partner are likely to be woken up by each other’s movements.
Support 4.5/5
The Logan & Cove Frontier is a hybrid mattress, meaning you can get the best of both worlds in terms of comfort and support. The top layer of foam helps keep this mattress luxuriously plush, while the coils maintain enough support for a lot of sleepers. I felt a nice lift while lying down on its surface.
Cooling 4.5/5
The coils in the bottom of the bed also keep it breathable and cool, which can be very helpful for people who sleep hot or like to stay temperature-regulated throughout the evening. I didn’t feel like I was heating up on this bed.
Edge Support 4/5
I’d say that this mattress has solid edge support overall. There was a little bit of sinkage when I laid near the edge of the bed, but not a lot, and I didn’t feel like I was going to fall off.
Pressure Relief 5/5
For back sleeping, the pressure map showed almost no pressure buildup whatsoever. Side sleepers may experience some pressure, but only if they struggle with hip pain.

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, organic foam mattresses.

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. We should also note that the brand regularly offers discounts, which could offset this fee.

How Important is a High Quality Mattress?
“A high-quality mattress is essential for overall health and well-being, as it directly affects sleep quality, which is crucial for physical and mental recovery. Quality sleep can enhance cognitive function, mood regulation, and immune response. There are quality mattresses for any budget, however I recommend prioritizing support, pressure relief and cooling features in any new mattress.”
Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM. Quadruple-board certified in pulmonary, sleep, internal, and critical care medicine
What to Look for in a Canadian Mattresses
Firmness
Firmness is an important aspect of all mattresses, and every sleeper has a unique preference for the kind of firmness they like. Further, different firmness levels may be better for different types of sleepers and may be more useful for specific kinds of pain or pressure relief. I used our expertly developed and tested firmness scale to evaluate the firmness level of every single mattress in this list, and every mattress we test at Sleepopolis.
The firmness scale ranks mattresses from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most firm, and I generally consider 6.5 to be medium-firm. I use this scale by having one of our expert mattress testers lay on each mattress in various sleeping positions. Our testers use the firmness scale to explain and understand the level of support, comfort, and pressure relief each mattress can potentially provide.
You can read more about how we test for firmness by visiting our mattress firmness testing page, or you learn more about Sleepopolis testing in general by visiting our methodology page.
Cooling
Staying cool and keeping your temperature regulated throughout the night is a priority for every sleeper. I consider two things when testing for cooling: the temperature change of the mattress after laying on it and the construction of the mattress. I first use a thermal gun to check the temperature change of the mattresses after laying on them for ten to fifteen minutes. The amount that the mattresses heat up is how I measure the ability of a mattress to stay cool throughout the evening. Anything below an 8 degree difference is considered good cooling, and below a six degree difference is great cooling. Also look for cooling covers, gel foams, breathable coils, and cooling fibers.
You can take a look at our thermal gun test below, and if you want to learn more you can read our review methodology, or check out our list of best cool mattresses.

Edge Support
I test the supportiveness of the edges of each mattress by sitting on the edge of the mattress to get a feel for the supportive capacity of each mattress. I’m also sure to lay near the edges of the mattress to make sure they do not sag even if I move around or lay in different positions. This ensures that each mattress I recommend, has stable edge support that will keep your mattress in good shape and comfortable.

Body Weight
Lightweight Sleepers | Average-Weight Sleepers | Heavyweight Sleepers |
< 160 pounds | 160–230 pounds | > 230 pounds |
I want to be sure that I’m testing all of our mattresses with various body types in mind so every mattress shopper has the chance to find exactly what they are looking for. To test for various body types, I rely on our expert testers to consider various shapes, sizes, and weights when they are lying on each mattress. You might notice that some of our reviews mention that lighter-weight sleepers or heavier-weight sleepers may not like a certain mattress as much as other sleepers. I include this information so that you can be sure you are finding the perfect fit in terms of comfort, support, firmness and pressure relief.
If you are curious what mattresses are available for heavier weight sleepers, check out our best mattresses for heavy sleepers page.
Motion Isolation

Motion isolation is a mattress’s ability to absorb movement, preventing noise when one partner shifts or gets out of bed. This feature is crucial for couples, those with kids and any pet parents as it helps ensure uninterrupted sleep by minimizing the impact of movements.
I test motion isolation out of 5, and to test accurately, our testers drop steel balls from various heights onto the mattress and use a seismograph to measure the amount of movement felt. The bigger the waves, the worst the mattress has performed. If you sleep with a partner, I recommend looking for scores 4 and up in our mattress performance scores.
Mattress Size
Mattress size is important for a couple of reasons. The first is your preferences. Some people enjoy the cozy feel of a full or twin mattress, while others like to spread out on a bigger bed. The second consideration is price. Larger mattresses are more expensive, so understanding your budget may help you narrow down what size is best for you. Third, who is sleeping in the bed? If you’re shopping for yourself and a partner, or possibly more than two people, then you may want more room, and might want to consider a queen or larger. However, if you’re looking for a college dorm mattress, you might want to save money and be practical with a twin bed. Perhaps you’re shopping for a guest room mattress, in which case you might want to opt for a safe bet of a queen or full.
The last consideration is the size of the room in which the mattress is going. Again, if you’re shopping for a college dorm room, a twin might be all that will fit. However, if you’re looking for a bed for a master bedroom, you might want to go a little bigger. Considering these factors together can help you narrow down exactly what you’re looking for.
Sleeping Position

Your unique sleeping position requires specific support and pressure relief to get the best and most comfortable sleep. Because of this, I make sure to test out every sleeping position to look for things like pressure relief and support in each unique sleep style. Our expert mattress testers lay in every position, and put each mattress on our firmness scale that ranges from 1–10. 1 being the softest and 10 being the firmest bed I test. A 6.5 is considered a true medium-firm bed.
In general, I recommend side sleepers choose a softer mattress to help cushion their shoulders and hips and absorb pressure. On the contrary, stomach sleepers should opt for a firm bed to keep their spine aligned. Back and Combination sleepers are a little more flexible and opt for a medium-firm mattress depending on sleep preferences.
Hear from the Experts:
Which Sleeping Position is Doctor Recommended?
“I recommend sleeping on your side or your back. These can help reduce snoring and alleviate symptoms of sleep apnea. These positions also promote better spinal alignment and can relieve pressure on the hips and shoulders.”
Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM. Quadruple-board certified in pulmonary, sleep, internal, and critical care medicine
Pressure Relief
In the pressure map test, I use a specialized thermal technology map, to see where pressure is released on the body when lying in various sleeping positions. The mat then creates a color-coded “map” of my body that shows the results.
The pressure map allows us the ability to see what parts of the body are supported and relieved when sleeping in different positions. You can see an example of our pressure map here to understand exactly how I test this. Blue and green mean the mattress will perform great for pressure relief and yellow and red spots show where there might be pain points.

Hear from the Experts:
Why is Pressure Relief Important in a Mattress?
“A well-designed mattress can significantly minimize pressure points in the neck, hips, back, and shoulders by providing adequate support and contouring to the body’s natural curves. This is especially important for maintaining spinal alignment and preventing discomfort during sleep. Choosing the right firmness level and materials, such as memory foam or latex, can enhance pressure relief and contribute to a more restful night’s sleep.”
Dr. Raj Dasgupta, MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM. Quadruple-board certified in pulmonary, sleep, internal, and critical care medicine
Durability
Durability in a mattress refers to how well it maintains its structural integrity and comfort over time. When shopping for durability, look for high-quality materials, robust construction (good edge support), long warranties and reputable brands with positive longevity reviews. Durability is important because it ensures long-term support and comfort, preventing premature sagging or wear. Materials like high-density memory foam, natural latex, and durable innerspring systems are known for their superior durability.
I calculate durability by averaging our materials, support, edge support and warranty scores, as those are what I consider to be the most crucial factors to understand how a mattress will last long term.
If you struggle with certain pressure points, check out these specific mattress selections:
What Types of Mattresses are Available in Canada?

Memory Foam
Memory foam is a distinct type of foam that is slow-moving, contouring, and many sleepers find it very comfortable. As the name implies, memory foam “remembers” your shape or the shape of something lying on the bed and maintains that shape even after moving away from it. Memory foam is a great option for sleepers who like to feel like they are sinking into their mattress or hugged in by their bed. It is also great at contouring the body which helps provide excellent pressure relief. One thing to consider with memory foam is that you will need a certain level of firmness depending on how you sleep. For example, I recommend stomach sleepers opt for a firm to extra-firm memory foam mattress so they’re able to get the support they need.
Latex
Latex is a natural material meaning that a lot of latex mattresses are naturally better at repelling allergens such as dust, and better for the environment than some other materials, as natural latex is made from tree sap. Latex is also very comfortable and bouncy but still offers the necessary support. It is also a naturally cooling material, as it is very porus and breathable.
Latex can also be very bouncy, and does not provide very good motion isolation, so if you are prone to waking up to movements, latex may not be for you.
Innerspring
Innerspring mattresses are mattresses constructed out of two layers of coils, or springs, that are topped by a thinner layer of foam. However, this does not mean they are not comfortable. Innerspring mattresses are incredibly cooling as their coils provide a lot of breathability and air movement throughout the evening, and they are usually supportive. Innerspring mattresses are also very durable, with strong edge support and long lives, they are a good choice for people who seek out durable and supportive mattresses that are less hugging than all foam or memory mattresses.
Hybrid
Hybrid mattresses are made of one layer of coils and one layer of foam, so they are a hybrid between all foam mattresses and innerspring. These mattresses combine the breathability of an innerspring mattress with the comfort and pressure relief of a foam mattress. For many sleepers, hybrid beds are the ideal combination of these factors and are very appealing because of their comfort, support, and cooling. These mattresses are great for almost every type of sleeper and can provide the necessary support and comfort for many people. However, one downside of these mattresses is that can cost a pretty penny. Due to their popularity and construction, hybrid mattresses are almost always upwards of $1,000.
What Mattress Certifications Should You Look For?
Depending on the material and quality of the mattress, certain brands earn awards and certifications that prove the quality of their mattresses. An example to look out for is the CertiPUR-US. This applies to certain foams and means the bed is free from harmful chemicals, fiberglass and heavy metals. It also implies that it is better for the environment in its mattress construction.
Some other certifications to look out for: OEKO-TEX certified, GREENGUARD Gold certified, and GOTS-Certified Global Organic Cotton and Latex.
Mattress Company Policies
Shipping
I made sure that all of the mattresses on this list can be shipped directly to Canada. I also looked into how much shipping to Canada will cost you so that you can make the best choice for you and your budget when buying a new mattress. I also looked into the factors that are available with various companies’ shipping policies, things like the fumes you might have to expect from beds in boxes or the difficulty of set up of each bed.
Warranties
When purchasing a new mattress, it is important to ensure it has a reliable warranty process. Warranties are important to all mattress consumers, but especially important when you are considering shipping from outside your country of residence. A lot of mattresses operate under a 10-year warranty, which is the recommended amount of time you use a mattress before buying a new one.
However, some companies offer lifetime warranties. Others offer lower warranty periods. Regardless, I looked into each and made sure to let you know what the warranty period is for each mattress.
Sleep Trials
Most mattress companies offer a sleep trial for their mattresses. This means you get a specific amount of nights to try out your mattress before it is no longer returnable or refundable. Some trials are around 100 nights, others are closer to a year depending on the brand you choose. Either way, a sleep trial is important to be sure you like the mattress and find it comfortable and supportive enough.
How We Chose These Mattresses
Our team of Certified Sleep Science Coaches has reviewed more than 330 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, durability and edge support. We also factor in brand performance with categories such as value, sleep-trials 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.

FAQs
What are the best Canadian mattresses?
While the term “best” is subjective and will vary from person to person, the Emma Hybrid Comfort mattress is my personal favorite due to the high quality of its materials and the fact that the brand has a Canadian office in Vancouver.
Do all companies ship to Canada?
No. While more and more U.S. mattress companies are beginning to ship to Canada, many of them still don’t, which is why we put together this list.
How much are Canadian mattresses?
Just like U.S. mattresses, Canadian mattresses come at a variety of price points. However, if you live in the United States and are ordering from Canada, it’s important to know that the Canadian dollar is stronger than the American dollar. So getting something shipped from Canada to the U.S. is probably going to be more expensive than the other way around.
What mattresses are made in Canada?
All of the mattresses in this article are manufactured in Canada.
What are the best mattresses for sleepers who run hot?
The best cooling mattresses for hot sleepers come with features like breathable covers, gel-infused foams, and open-cell structures that promote airflow. Hybrid mattresses with coils typically provide better airflow than traditional memory foam models.
What to prioritize for the best mattress in Canada for back pain?
Folks struggling with back pain should prioritize finding a mattress with the right balance of support and comfort. Typically, medium-firm options are your best bet, as these beds often provide proper spinal alignment while cushioning pressure points.
