Best Mattresses in Canada

As mattress researchers, we often see that popular U.S.-based mattress and bedding companies charge extra to ship beds to Canada. Even when these companies offer free shipping to U.S. addresses, Canadians are all too often left out of the equation. Still, there are local options for Canadian folks who want a new mattress without paying extravagant shipping costs. 

Each quality mattress on this list is either made in Canada or shipped free to Canadian addresses. Some fall in both categories! Though many mattress companies in the U.S. charge an extra fee or don’t allow shipping to the Great White North, we’ve poured through a selection of great brands and chosen only the top contenders to make the cut. We’ve put these mattresses to the test ourselves with the help of our in-house mattress testing lab. So let’s get to the mattresses!  

Bottom Line: What’s the Best Canadian Mattress?

Our expert mattress testers chose the Emma Hybrid Comfort as the Nerd’s Pick for the best Canadian mattress due to its cooling features and enhanced support.

Like the Hush Arctice Luxe, the Emma Hybrid Comfort is a hybrid mattress. The coils inside hybrid beds tend to help improve airflow, but that’s not all the Emma offers as far as cooling goes. We noticed that the mattress’s foam layers felt nice and breathable during our tests, keeping our testers from getting too hot to sleep comfortably.

If you’re a combination sleeper, the Emma Hybrid Comfort’s excellent responsiveness can make it easier for you to change positions at night. It ships free to Canada and, for an extra fee, you can add mattress removal. This is a great option for anyone who won’t be using their old mattress and doesn’t want to deal with the hassle of donating or throwing it away.

If you’re a combination sleeper—i.e. someone who rotates through different positions while you sleep—you need a responsive mattress. The best mattresses for combination sleepers cradle your body without making you feel “stuck” in bed. The Endy mattress is responsive enough to work for combination sleepers because it features three layers of quick-moving, responsive polyfoam that enable easy movement.  

The Endy also keeps motion transfer at a minimum, which is ideal for couples who don’t want to be disturbed by a partner’s movement. The mattress is priced competitively and features an industry-standard 10-year warranty. Best of all, the mattress is Canadian-made and ships for free to all Canadian provinces. (There may be a fee to Canadian Territories.)

If you’re a shopper on a budget, you’ve come to the right place: The Douglas mattress by GoodMorning.com is budget-friendly and ships for free in a box. This all-foam mattress includes cooling gel foam in its top comfort layer for temperature control, and the moisture-wicking cover can be unzipped, removed, and easily cleaned. The cover material is even partially derived from the eucalyptus plant. 

Because the Douglas is a medium-firm mattress, we’d say it will work well for back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and average-weight to heavyweight side sleepers. The mattress is also made in Canada and ships for free to most areas of the country, but the company may charge an extra fee if your address is extremely remote. A 15-year warranty and 120-night sleep trial can offer shoppers extra peace of mind.

Nobody likes waking up in the middle of the night with a runny nose or eye irritation. Because a bed stays in our home for so long and can gather dust, it’s the perfect place for allergens to accumulate and discomfort to ensue. That’s where the Polysleep mattress comes into the picture: The foam in this mattress is antimicrobial to help allergy sufferers—and most anyone—enjoy a cleaner night of sleep. 

But the features don’t stop there. This all-foam mattress includes a liquid-repellent cover to keep the mattress clean and fresh. To combat the issue of inadequate edge support (when the edges of a mattress can’t fully support the body), the Polysleep mattress features a perimeter support system that bolsters the edges of the mattress and enhances durability. It’s also designed and constructed right in Montreal, Canada, and shipped for free to your door as a bed-in-a-box mattress.

There are several reasons why our team loves a classic foam mattress, and the Silk & Snow epitomizes a great all-foam bed. The original S&S mattress is made with three layers of high-quality foam. The top comfort layer is a gel memory foam that has a 4 lb density, which is great for pressure relief. Next, the transitional and support foams underneath deliver great motion-isolation capabilities, as well as support for larger parts of the body like the hips and shoulders. 

The S&S mattress also boasts an antimicrobial cover that unzips for easy cleaning, and the open-cell design of the top comfort layer addresses one of the chief complaints of memory foam: It can tend to feel warm to hot sleepers. While the S&S may not feel quite as cool as some latex mattresses, we’re impressed by this cooling memory foam layer. As far as company policies, Silk & Snow ships beds for free to all provinces in Canada. Customers in Canadian territories will be responsible for a “nominal shipping charge,” according to the brand.

What to Look for in a Mattress From Canada 

If you’re a Canadian shopper looking for a new mattress, there are a few factors we’d recommend considering, like the bed’s construction and how long it is expected to last. After all, construction impacts how a bed will feel on your body, and nobody wants a mattress that develops foam indentations after just a few years. 

Types of Mattresses in Canada

Memory Foam Mattresses in Canada

Memory foam beds, many of which are available from online mattress retailers, can come in different firmness options. For instance, foam mattresses can range from a high-density, firm feel to a soft and contouring construction. Whether you choose a cushioning, conforming memory foam mattress or a high-density and responsive polyfoam bed, always keep your body type and sleep positions in mind when considering a memory foam mattress. 

Latex Mattresses in Canada

Latex mattresses are known to be high-quality beds that keep the body cool and comfortable throughout the night. Often, they employ a coil system underneath a thick layer of latex for extra breathability and support. Because the collection and manufacturing process for latex can be quite involved, these mattresses tend to lie on the pricier side. However, the material is eco-friendly and luxurious, so we’d recommend a latex mattress if you have extra cash on hand. 

Hybrid Mattresses in Canada

Hybrid mattresses use a combination of foam and innerspring coils to offer bouncy, pressure-relieving support and enhanced airflow. While the coils can vary in material, size and style (for instance, you may find pocketed coils or individually wrapped coils in a hybrid mattress), they tend to offer a more breathable construction than a traditional memory foam mattress. 

Durability

If you’re investing in a mattress, you’ll probably want to choose one that will last for years. Look for a mattress with thick tufting and coils if you’re in search of the most long-lasting bed, as coils are one of the most durable materials you can find in a mattress. Beds with great edge support also tend to last for years. 

Though the average lifespan of a mattress is seven to 10 years, warranty policies vary drastically by company. On the less competitive side of warranty policies, we’ve seen coverage last as few as five years of the mattress’s lifespan. However, mattress warranty coverage can span up to the entire length of time the original purchaser owns the mattress.

The Best Mattress Firmness for Your Sleep Position

There are multiple factors that can determine the ideal firmness for you. Your preferred sleep position will help you choose between a construction type that conforms to your body or a mattress that remains firm for extra support.

Back Sleepers

Back sleepers will be most comfortable with a medium-firm mattress that provides spine support and pressure relief in the hip and neck areas. Based on our scale from 1-10, with 10 being the most firm, we suggest a firmness between 5-7, which can be found in most types of mattresses. Lightweight to average sleepers might prefer a firmness in the 5-6 range, while heavy sleepers will look for a firmness closer to 7.

A hybrid mattress or foam mattress with supportive layers and a thick comfort layer could be a good option. The Polysleep Origin mattress is a great choice for back sleepers because of its conforming memory foam and supportive foam layer.

Side Sleepers

Side sleepers need a mattress that provides pressure relief for the shoulders and hips. A soft or medium-firm mattress should provide body contouring and pain relief. However, a mattress that is too soft could lose necessary support and misalign your spine. Lightweight sleepers might do best with a softer mattress, while heavier sleepers will be better supported by a medium-firm mattress. 

Memory foam or hybrid mattresses are great at conforming to your body while providing support. The Casper Original mattress is an all-foam mattress that provides excellent pressure relief for the shoulders and hips while supporting the rest of your body.

Stomach Sleepers

For stomach sleepers, a firmer mattress is needed to support the spine and hips. A mattress that has a firmness of 7 or above should ensure your spine is properly aligned to avoid unnecessary pull or strain. Lightweight sleepers might appreciate a firmness that is close to 7, while heavier sleepers might prefer a firmness of 7.5 or higher. 

Innerspring mattresses are known for their firmness and strong support. Hybrid or some latex mattresses can also be a good option if you want something firm with a contouring comfort layer. The GhostBed is a great choice due to its medium-firm latex that keeps the spine properly aligned. 

Combination Sleepers

Combination sleepers typically prefer a mattress that is responsive and has minimal motion transfer to accommodate movement. The level of firmness that a combination sleeper needs depends on preferences and body type. Lightweight combination sleepers may prefer a soft mattress, while heavier combination sleepers will want a firmer mattress. 

Hybrid, innerspring, and certain foam mattresses can provide great responsiveness. The Endy mattress uses polyfoam to provide the ideal responsiveness and motion isolation that combination sleepers need.

How to Shop for a Canadian Mattress

It’s important to evaluate company policies like trial periods and warranties because the fine print could spell out important benefits for you, the consumer. Canadian shoppers in particular should be aware that there might be an extra fee to ship a U.S. brand mattress to Canada.

Shipping 

If you’re a Canadian shopper, maybe you’ve run into this problem: You’re shopping online for a mattress and you find that a U.S.-based retailer charges an extra fee to ship to a Canadian province. If you find yourself in that position while you shop, don’t worry. All of the mattresses on the list above are either Canadian-made or ship for free to most (if not all) Canadian provinces. 

Still, if you live in a territory of Canada or have an extremely remote address (you know who you are!) it might be worth it to do a little more research before making a final decision. All of the brands on this Canadian mattress list have easy-to-use chat boxes on their website or customer service phone lines, so get in touch with a representative if you’re unsure whether your home is too off-the-beaten-path for free shipping. 

Warranty and Returns

Even if a mattress is made with quality materials, it’s always good to have the extra protection of a long-lasting warranty policy. The average length of a warranty policy is 10 years, so customers should ideally look for a warranty in that range or longer. Warranty policies can cover factors like cracking in the layers of memory foam or sinkage in the top comfort layers. But whether the mattress is a foam construction, hybrid or made of natural latex, you’ll want to keep it on a supportive bed frame so as not to void the warranty policy. 

How to Choose the Best Mattress for You 

At the end of the day, choosing the best mattress is an art rather than a science. In fact, we’d argue that, for some shoppers, there’s no singular “best” mattress! Rather, there can be many mattresses that fit criteria like your budget, sleep position, firmness level preference and policy preferences. Keep a careful eye on those preferences as you’re browsing Canadian mattresses online and try not to get distracted by fancy marketing tactics or commercials. Instead, check out our mattress buying guide to see which materials and construction could deliver the best night of sleep for you. 

Because mattress shopping can be a large investment, choosing the correct one can feel like a huge decision. But rest assured that every single Canadian mattress on this list comes with a lengthy sleep trial, so you can try out a mattress and receive a free refund if it doesn’t end up making you comfortable in the long run. 

Best Mattresses in Canada FAQs

Do all mattress companies ship to Canada?

Some online mattress companies will not ship their products outside of the United States, and even the ones that do are likely to charge a few hundred dollars for the service. For this reason, we recommend focusing on mattresses that are constructed in Canada, or the few US-based companies that do offer reasonably priced or free shipping to Canada. 

What’s the best mattress in Canada?

We stand by our recommendations of any of the mattresses featured on this list. The best one for you will depend on your sleep preferences and body type. For example, our top pick for the best value mattress is the Douglas mattress, while our favorite for combination sleepers is the Endy.

How much do mattresses cost in Canada?

Mattress prices in Canada are comparable to those in the US. They can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand. Remember, a higher price generally means higher quality, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend thousands of dollars. Establish a budget and then do research on the best mattress within that price range. You’ll likely have a handful of options to choose from.
