The Sleep Doctor’s Picks
Best Overall
Silk & Snow Hybrid
The Sleep Doctor’s Take
The Silk & Snow Hybrid combines the strong pressure relief of foam with the sturdiness of coils to give you a well-rounded mattress that appealed to most testers on our team. The zoned design enhances support to your lumbar area, which especially benefits back and side sleepers.

Trial Length / Warranty
100 nights (30-night requirement) / 15 Year, Limited
Type Hybrid
Firmness Medium Firm (6)
Price $600 – $900
Highlights
- Competitively priced
- Zoned support to promote good posture
- Good for most sleep positions and body types
Drawbacks
- Only available in one firmness level
- Coils produce some motion transfer
Built in Canada with locally sourced materials, the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress combines foam and coils for great support and pressure relief.
How Does It Feel?
Designed to resist bacterial growth, the cover consists of silver-infused polyester and spandex. Underneath, a 1-inch layer of gel-infused polyfoam works with 2 inches of gel-infused memory foam to cradle you and redistribute your weight.
The core is made with 1,200 double-tempered pocketed coils. Zoning increases the firmness near the center of the bed to encourage good sleep posture. A firm foam perimeter reinforcement gives the edges a sturdy feel. This allows you to use more of the bed, and it can make getting into and out of bed easier as well.
Why We Like It
While we found that back and side sleepers enjoyed this medium firm (6) mattress, stomach sleepers may be better served by a firmer model. Our testers also reported that the gel infusion and breathable coil system did a good job of pulling heat away and keeping them cool. The pocketed coils also limit the spread of vibrations, meaning you can change positions without disturbing your partner.
Silk & Snow offers free shipping to Canadian provinces and the contiguous U.S. On top of a 100-night sleep trial, Silk & Snow has a 15-year partially prorated limited warranty.
Most Comfortable
Endy Mattress
The Sleep Doctor’s Take
While some all-foam mattresses include memory foam for extra cushioning, the Endy Mattress is made entirely with polyfoam. This gives the bed a slightly more responsive feel that earned favorable reviews from side and back sleepers on our team.

Trial Length / Warranty

Type Foam
Firmness Medium Firm (6)
Price $675 CAD – $995 CAD
Highlights
- Breathable polyfoam construction
- Machine-washable cover
- Isolates motion well
Drawbacks
- Some hot sleepers may find the foam design too warm
- Only available in medium firm (6)
While some all-foam models trap heat, the medium firm (6) Endy Mattress combines three layers of polyfoam for breathable contouring.
How Does It Feel?
The comfort layer consists of open-cell polyfoam that lets air circulate so that heat can dissipate. A responsive polyfoam transition layer prevents your body from sinking too deeply while ensuring your weight is evenly distributed. A high-density polyfoam core enhances the mattress’ support and durability. The cover is easily removable and machine-washable cover for easy care.
Why We Like It
Side sleepers under 230 pounds are likely to enjoy a good combination of cradling and support. Back sleepers under 230 pounds and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds may also find the Endy comfortable. Our testers reported that, despite its breathable design, the Endy still hugs the body enough to relieve key pressure points around the shoulders and hips. Hot sleepers with joint pain may appreciate this combination.
In our partnered motion isolation tests, the Endy’s motion-absorbing polyfoam also limited vibrations, making it a good choice for couples who want to be able to move without disrupting their partner’s sleep. Based on these test results, active sleepers should have little trouble moving across the bed. We also found that the Endy’s edge support is good compared to many all-foam models, making it easier to sit or sleep along the perimeter. However, the Endy isn’t as bouncy as many couples prefer for sex.
A 15-year limited warranty covers the Endy Mattress. Your purchase includes a 100-night sleep trial, and the mattress ships free to Canadian provinces.
Best Pressure Relief
Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid
The Sleep Doctor’s Take
The Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid has a luxurious pillow-top that deeply cradles your body, while sturdy coils prevent you from sinking too deep. Our side- and back-sleeping testers benefited from the pressure relief in the shoulders, hips, and spine.

Trial Length 100 nights (30-night break-in)

Trial Length / Warranty
100 nights (30-night break-in) / 10 Year
Type Hybrid
Firmness Medium Firm (6)
Price $995 – $1,950
Highlights
- Pillow-top cushioned with memory foam contours evenly to promote proper alignment and reduce pressure along the spine
- Excellent breathability thanks to cooling cover and steady airflow through the coil system
- Pocketed coils are zoned to reinforce heavier areas of the body
Drawbacks
- Coils transfer some motion across surface
- Some stomach sleepers over 230 pounds may prefer a firmer bed
If you wake up feeling sore or stiff in certain areas, a mattress that excels at pressure relief can help reduce your aches and pains. The Hush Arctic Luxe Hybrid features a pillow-top cushioned with adaptive foam layers over zoned pocketed coils. These components work together to distribute your weight, minimize sinkage, and provide adequate support for your entire body. A medium firm (6) feel also helps ensure the balance of contouring and reinforcement needed to prevent excessive pressure buildup.
How Does It Feel?
Two memory foam layers make up the Arctic Luxe Hybrid’s comfort system. The topmost layer is somewhat plush, while the second layer is denser and designed to push back against your weight. Graphite and cooling gel infusions in these layers help offset the foam’s heat-retaining properties, allowing you to sleep cool. The cover is also woven with phase change material intended to dissipate heat on contact.
The support core contains pocketed coils with thicker springs resting beneath your torso and hips. Since many people carry a disproportionate amount of weight in these areas, the coils can keep your body on an even plane and prevent uncomfortable sinkage around the midsection. Thicker coils also line the perimeter to strengthen the edges when you get in and out of bed.
Why We Like It
Our team has found the medium firm hybrid design delivers sufficient support for most people who weigh 230 pounds or less. The memory foam effectively limits responsiveness on the surface. As a result, the Arctic Luxe Hybrid isolates motion better than many competing hybrids, and may be suitable if you and your sleep partner tend to wake each other up with nighttime movements. Our testing team was also impressed with the sturdy edge support — a rare quality among pillow-top hybrids with thick foam layers.
The Arctic Luxe Hybrid is competitively priced and shipping is free throughout provincial Canada. Hush also provides complimentary delivery to customers in the contiguous U.S. All orders include a 100-night trial period. The standard warranty covers structural defects for one year. This is significantly shorter than average — most mattresses come with at least 10 years of warranty coverage — but you can purchase an accident protection plan covering stains and physical damage for up to 10 years.
Best Value
Juno Mattress
The Sleep Doctor’s Take
The Juno Mattress is an all-foam model that contours closely to your body. The back and side sleepers on our team enjoyed the bed for its gentle cradling and very reasonable price compared to other foam models we’ve tested.

Firmness Medium Firm (6)
Price $329 – $549
Highlights
- Wallet-friendly price-point
- Pressure-relieving, gel-infused polyfoam comfort layer
- Isolates motion well
Drawbacks
- 8-inch profile may be too thin for some sleepers

The Juno is an affordable option for back and side sleepers who want a responsive foam mattress with good edge support. It’s also a good choice for couples or anyone who shares a bed and is sensitive to movement.
How Does It Feel?
The comfort system features two layer of polyfoam. These layers offer cushioning to relieve pressure points without causing you to sink too deeply. A cooling gel is designed to offset heat retention from the foam layers. High-density polyfoam reinforces the sleep surface to promote spinal alignment. A breathable polyester and viscose blend knit cover keeps the surface cool to the touch.
Why We Like It
The Juno Mattress is a responsive all-foam model with a medium firm (6) feel. This mattress offers enough pressure relief and support to accommodate most side and back sleepers under 230 pounds.
Although all-foam beds often sleep hot, our tests showed that the Juno stays relatively cool while still providing a good amount of contouring. The breathable cover and gel infusion in the comfort layer are intended to prevent heat buildup. Our testers reported that the bed is firm and responsive enough to allow easy movement across the entire surface, including the well-supported edges. The motion-absorbing foam construction also limits the spread of vibrations, making it a good option for couples.
Available at a budget-friendly price, the Juno ships free to most locations in Canada. It comes with a 120-night sleep trial and a 15-year limited warranty.
Best for Side Sleepers
Polysleep Zephyr Mattress
The Sleep Doctor’s Take
The Polysleep Zephyr Mattress is a thoughtfully designed mattress with multiple foam layers, including a top memory foam layer that offers strong cushioning. This model stood out to the side sleepers on our team for its excellent pressure relief around the shoulders and hips.

Type Foam
Firmness Medium Firm (6)
Price $1750 – $2925
Highlights
- Designed for breathability and comfort
- Zoned support
- Antimicrobial and infrared-radiating technology
Drawbacks
- Stomach sleepers over 130 pounds may prefer a firmer mattress
- Foam may feel warm for sleepers who run very hot
The medium firm (6) Polysleep Zephyr Mattress combines several distinct layers to balance contouring, breathability, and support. Altogether, the layers create a versatile surface that’s comfortable for sleepers of many body types and position preferences.
How Does It Feel?
A gel-infused memory foam comfort layer comfortably hugs the body, providing contouring and pressure relief. Meanwhile, a secondary polyfoam comfort layer enhances the pressure relief and lets air circulate. The transition layer has a zoned configuration, offering targeted support in the center of the bed. This helps prevent the hips and midsection from pulling the spine out of alignment.
A firm, high-density polyfoam support frame wraps around the edge of the high-density polyfoam core to enable you to use the mattress’ entire surface. This edge support also means you’ll have a little extra help getting in and out of bed. The Zephyr’s soft cover consists of polyester, cotton, and spandex. It uses infrared technology designed to redirect the body’s infrared rays back at the sleeper, which is intended to aid recovery and promote quality sleep.
Why We Like It
Based on our tests, the Zephyr would best suit side sleepers and back sleepers under 230 pounds and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. Many mattresses with foam layers provide a hugging sensation can lead to heat buildup. However, our temperature regulation tests showed that the Zephyr still dissipates heat well thanks to the cooling technology and breathable cover.
Our testers found that the Zephyr’s foam absorbs motion without hindering movement, making this mattress a great choice for couples. Partners should be able to get into and out of bed and change positions without disturbing each other. The surface should also be responsive enough for sex.
This mattress includes free shipping to addresses in the Canadian provinces and the contiguous U.S. The Zephyr also comes with a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year limited warranty.
Best Cooling
Haven AirFlow Plus
The Sleep Doctor’s Take
The Haven AirFlow Plus has a firmer feel than most all-foam beds on the market, which means it produces less “hug” and better air circulation around your body. It’s also designed with several cooling features that make it a great choice for sleepers who run hot on conventional foam beds.

Firmness Firm (7)
Price $512 – $1,120
Highlights
- Firmer and more supportive than the average all-foam bed
- Cover composed of breathable, moisture-wicking bamboo-derived fabric
- Customers can receive free sleep accessories in lieu of a trial period
Drawbacks
- Profile may be low for sleepers who prefer thick beds
- Stomach sleepers over 230 pounds may need a firmer bed
All-foam mattresses get a bad rap for sleeping excessively hot, but some models feature components designed to resist heat buildup and maintain a cool, comfortable temperature. The Haven AirFlow plus is a prime example.
How Does It Feel?
This firm (7), low-profile mattress features a top layer infused with cooling gel intended to dissipate heat on contact. The foam offers cushioning to relieve pressure points without trapping too much heat. A high-density foam base layer stabilizes the AirFlow Plus, reinforcing the firm feel while gently cushioning your body. A breathable, bamboo-derived cover with moisture-wicking properties encases the mattress. The 8-inch profile is a good fit for many RV bed frames.
Why We Like It
Our hands-on tests indicate the mattress is best suited to side sleepers over 230 pounds, and back and stomach sleepers weighing at least 120 pounds. Thanks to the firm feel, you shouldn’t sink too deeply into this mattress — especially if you weigh 230 pounds or less.
Our team also found that the mattress provides decent motion isolation, which can be beneficial for couples. Both foam layers work together to absorb movement and reduce motion transfer. This means you shouldn’t experience sleep disruptions if your partner changes positions or gets up in the middle of the night, and vice versa.
In addition to its affordable pricing, the AirFlow Plus qualifies for free ground shipping throughout provincial Canada. The mattress’ sleep trial runs for 100 nights. Conversely, you can opt out of the trial and instead receive complimentary sleep accessories from Haven. Your options for the latter include a sleep mask, memory foam pillow, and mattress protector. If you keep the mattress beyond the return period, it’ll be backed by a 4-year warranty.
Why You Should Trust Us
We have years of experience in the sleep product industry, rating and reviewing products that we’ve carefully researched and tested ourselves.
We look at a wide variety of mattresses for each category and test them with a range of sleepers. The members of our testing team have different body types and position preferences, which help us see how these personal factors impact the sleep experience.
Each tester lies on the mattress and performs several tests to assess its performance. We also use tools like pressure mapping pads and VOC meters to incorporate objective data. We’ve carefully refined our testing process so that our reviews provide the most nuanced and accurate information possible.
How Much Does a Mattress Cost in Canada?
The price of a new Canadian mattress ranges from as little as $200 CAD to over $3,000 CAD. However, most fall between $800 CAD and $2,000 CAD. The cost of a new mattress varies significantly depending on factors like size, materials, type of mattress, and shipping method.
While high-quality mattresses are traditionally more expensive than lower-quality alternatives, you should be able to find a comfortable mattress with virtually any budget if you focus on the criteria that matter most to you.
Mattress Type
The price of a new mattress depends largely on its type. Raw materials needed to produce mattresses can be expensive, and complex construction methods can further increase production costs. For example, hybrid beds generally cost more than innerspring or all-foam models due to their combination of components. Similarly, organic latex mattresses usually have higher price-points because of the increased cost of their materials.
Size
A bigger bed requires more raw materials, which increases the overall cost. However, the extra space may be well worth it for couples sharing a sleep surface.
Brand
Some mattress companies charge more for their products than others. This is often at least partially due to the reputation of the company. A long history of satisfied customers adds value. Many brands also offer generous sleep trials and warranties on their mattresses. While these typically come at no extra cost to buyers, they can increase the overall price-point.
Buying Online vs. In-Store
Saving money is a common benefit of buying a mattress online. Maintaining warehouses and brick-and-mortar stores increases the overhead of in-person shopping. In contrast, many direct-to-consumer manufacturers only produce mattresses after the shopper has placed an order, limiting the need for costly storage facilities.
Shoppers can browse online mattresses from the comfort of their homes, taking as much time as they need to sort through the options. Additionally, they can watch for sales and discounts that may not be available to in-store buyers. As a bonus, some online retailers also offer lengthier trial periods.
Shipping
Shipping can be quite costly, especially for a product as large as a mattress. With the mattress-in-a-box delivery model, each mattress is compressed, rolled, and boxed to make it easier and less expensive to ship.
When shopping, consider how the mattress ships. The cost of shipping often depends on the buyer’s location and the shipping method.
Mattress Shipping in Canada
Shipping can affect the cost and convenience of your new mattress. Policies and prices may vary by destination, and the delivery method impacts the ease of setup.
Within Canada
While policies vary between companies, shoppers in the Canadian provinces typically enjoy free standard shipping on online mattress purchases from Canadian brands. However, fees may apply to deliveries to the territories and to remote locations.
Outside of Canada
While some mattress companies in Canada ship exclusively to Canadian addresses, many also ship to the United States and other countries. Shipping fees often apply for international orders.
Similarly, some U.S.-based mattress companies ship to Canada. Many charge additional fees, but some include free shipping to the provinces.
Standard Shipping vs. White Glove Delivery
Mattresses purchased online often include free standard shipping. The mattress will arrive compressed, rolled, and packaged in a box. You’ll need to bring the mattress into your room of choice before unpacking and assembling it.
In some cases, you may also be able to select White Glove delivery. White Glove delivery typically includes in-home delivery, setup, and packaging removal. Old mattress removal is also frequently available with the service, though extra charges may apply.
Which Mattress Types Can I Find in Canada?
In Canada and around the world, mattresses can be classified by type based on their construction. Most Canadian mattresses fall into one of several main categories.
Foam Mattresses
What They Are | Who They’re Good For |
|---|---|
Foam mattresses include foam in both their comfort and transition layers. The comfort layer may incorporate polyfoam, memory foam, or latex, while the core consists of polyfoam. |
|
Hybrid Mattresses
What They Are | Who They’re Good For |
|---|---|
Hybrid mattresses combine coil support cores with substantial comfort systems made of foam, latex, or other materials. |
|
Latex Mattresses
What They Are | Who They’re Good For |
|---|---|
Latex mattresses use latex comfort and support layers. Natural latex is common in the mattress industry. This material is produced from the sap of rubber trees. However, synthetic and blended options are also available. |
|
Airbed Mattresses
What They Are | Who They’re Good For |
|---|---|
Airbeds use adjustable air chambers for support. Adding air increases the firmness, while emptying it makes the surface softer. You can generally adjust the settings with a remote or an app. The comfort system may include foam or latex for pressure relief. |
