How We Test
Testing Criteria
Finding a high-quality mattress in Canada can mean considering both comfort and availability. Here are the factors we chose to focus on when making our picks:
Availability: A great mattress is only useful if you can actually get it. Canadian shoppers should look for models that are readily available for delivery in Canada, paying careful attention to shipping options, delivery speed, and whether they come with White Glove delivery.
Support: One of the most important factors when buying any mattress is whether the feel and firmness are right for your body type and sleeping position. The bed should be soft enough to relieve pressure and firm enough to support your heaviest areas.
Overall satisfaction: Whether you tend to sleep hot at night, have a partner that’s easily disturbed, or are shopping on a budget, we constructed this list to represent the many needs different sleepers may have.
How We Evaluated
We reviewed our database of more than 2,000 mattresses to find the best options available for Canadian shoppers. Here’s what we looked at:
- Availability and shipping options in Canada
- Higher-than-average overall performance rating
- Standout performances in key categories, such as pressure relief and motion isolation
- Variety of firmness levels
- Different types of mattresses
Once we narrowed the field based on these criteria, we brought selected models to our Seattle Test Lab to undergo additional testing. Team members across different body types tried each bed to get a more complete overview of how it performs for different individuals. They provided their subjective feedback while we conducted objective measurements to assess performance.
The mattresses that made this list excelled in these tests and vary enough in their specs to satisfy most shoppers looking for a mattress in Canada.

Best Overall Mattress
7.8/10Test Lab Score
Silk & Snow Hybrid
An affordable hybrid mattress with close-conforming foam layers.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side sleepers and most back and stomach sleepers.
- Feel: Medium soft, plush and adaptive on the surface, strong support and plenty of bounce, though the firmer design feels sturdier.
- What It’s Made Of: Plush memory foam and dense transitional foam in the comfort system, support core contains zoned pocketed coils with a dense foam encasement.
- What We Don’t Like: May notice motion transfer when your partner moves. Medium soft model may sink too much for back and stomach sleepers.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
The Silk & Snow Hybrid offers balanced support and comfort that suited many of our testers regardless of body type or sleep preferences. A well-cushioned foam comfort system and pocketed coil support core work to relieve pressure and limit sinkage. The bed also reduces motion transfer and heat retention, making it ideal if you share the bed with a partner.
How It Performed
The pressure-relieving foam comfort layers and medium firm (6) feel was most comfortable for our side sleepers, especially those between 130 and 230 pounds. Back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds also felt adequately supported. The memory foam, along with zoned coils in the support core, significantly reduced our testers’ pressure points and minimized motion transfer when we moved across the surface of the bed. The mattress also slept relatively cool during our temperature regulation tests thanks to airflow through the coil layer.
The polyfoam edge reinforcement lets you use the entire surface of the mattress without experiencing deep sagging or sinkage near the edge. This feature is especially beneficial if you sleep with a partner or need to sit on the edge to get out of bed in the morning.
Construction Breakdown
The mattress features a cover made with silver-infused polyester and spandex fabric. Beneath is a quilted, gel-infused polyfoam layer, followed by a layer of gel-infused memory foam. These layers closely contour to your body to alleviate pressure buildup, and the gel infusions are meant to limit heat retention on the surface. The support core consists of individually pocketed coils arranged in three zones to provide stronger support for heavier areas of your body. A high-density polyfoam encasement around the bed’s perimeter bolsters the bed’s edge support.
You can choose from medium soft (4) and medium firm (6) designs. Our tests show most side sleepers prefer the close contour of the softer design, while back and stomach sleepers gravitate toward the firmer model.
Trial, Shipping, and Warranty
Silk & Snow offers free shipping to the contiguous U.S. and provincial Canada, and it backs the mattress with a 365-night sleep trial. A 15-year warranty protects against structural defects.
Most Comfortable Mattress
8.9/10Test Lab Score
Endy Mattress
A cushy yet responsive foam mattress with three firmness options.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds and back and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds.
- Feel: Medium firm (6) with a balance of cushioning, support, and bounce. Light contouring without the close hug of traditional memory foam.
- What It’s Made Of: Three layers of polyfoam.
- What We Don’t Like: Excessive sinking for most sleepers over 230 pounds, leading to pain and pressure buildup. Heat retention may also be an issue.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
The Endy Mattress boasts an all-foam design that contours evenly without too much sinkage, cradles the body without trapping heat, and provides enough bounce to facilitate movement across the surface. The mattress should be especially appealing to people who need an adaptive mattress to sleep comfortably, but dislike the deep “hug” of memory foam.
How It Performed
Since the Endy Mattress is medium firm (6), we noticed some gentle conforming on the surface and strong pushback as our bodies settled. Side and back sleepers on our testing team weighing up to 230 pounds received adequate cushioning from the mattress and didn’t sink too much. The same was true of stomach sleepers weighing under 130 pounds.
The mattress excelled at temperature control, a performance category where all-foam models typically earn less-than-stellar ratings. We’ve attributed this to the open-cell composition of each foam layer — rather than trapping heat, the foams promote airflow and help the interior maintain a comfortable temperature. The polyfoam is somewhat responsive, so you shouldn’t encounter too much resistance when moving across the mattress, but this material also isolates motion well to prevent movement-related sleep disturbances for couples.
Construction Breakdown
The Endy’s three-layer design begins with adaptive polyfoam on the surface. The underlying foam layers are firmer and denser to keep your body on an even plane. You may notice more compression along the perimeter, and this can limit your ability to use the entire surface, but most of our testers noted minimal sinkage when lying in the center of the mattress.
A breathable knit cover encases the foam layers. You can remove and machine wash the cover whenever it needs to be cleaned. Comparatively, many mattresses made today feature non-removable covers that can only be spot cleaned if stains occur. At 10 inches thick, the Endy is considered a medium-profile mattress.
Trial, Shipping, and Warranty
Endy offers free shipping throughout the Canadian provinces and a complimentary mattress protector with your order. Endy’s sleep trial runs for 365 nights, and the company backs each purchase with a 15-year warranty.
Best Mattress for Side Sleepers
7.2/10Test Lab Score
Polysleep Origin 2.0 Mattress
A plush all-foam mattress with comfy cushioning for side sleepers.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds and couples.
- Feel: Medium firm (6) with plush cushioning and a mellow bounce that pushes back against your weight.
- What It’s Made Of: Three-layer design with open-cell memory foam, as well as dense transitional and base foam.
- What We Don’t Like: Struggles with edge support and ease of movement.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
The Polysleep Origin 2.0’s plush, close-conforming design is best suited to side sleepers, especially those who weigh at least 130 pounds. Couples can also benefit from this mattress due to its superior motion isolation.
How It Performed
While the Origin 2.0 is medium firm (6), adaptive memory foam delivers plush cushioning beneath the surface. You’ll also notice a mellow bounce from the support layers pushing back against your weight.
Despite the strong cushioning, the bed still felt supportive to most of our testers, and we could move around the surface with relative ease. Side and back sleepers up to 230 pounds felt most comfortable, but the medium firm feel was popular across the board.
Construction Breakdown
The Origin 2.0 consists of three layers. The topmost is composed of open-cell memory foam, a material that conforms closely and promotes breathability. Dense polyfoam makes up the transitional and base layers to create a stable support system and maintain an even surface for your body. The soft, stretchy cover is made from a cooling blend of viscose, polyester, and spandex.
Trail, Shipping, and Warranty
The Origin 2.0 Mattress is exclusively available to customers in Canada. Polysleep ships the mattress for free throughout the provinces. Your order comes with a 100-night trial, during which you may return the mattress after 45 nights. The manufacturer’s warranty covers structural and material defects for up to 10 years.
Best Value Mattress
8.4/10Test Lab Score
Silk & Snow Mattress
A foam mattress that conforms close to your body for pressure relief.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side sleepers weighing 230 pounds or less or back and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds , depending on firmness level.
- Feel: Exceptionally plush with a deep, cradling contour and close cushioning.
- What It’s Made Of: Top layer of memory foam, transitional and base layers of dense polyfoam, and a soft poly-spandex cover.
- What We Don’t Like: Not enough support in the medium model for back and stomach sleepers 130 pounds or more. Perimeter lacks support. Firm model not enough cushioning for most side sleepers up to 230 pounds.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
The Silk & Snow Mattress sleeps noticeably cooler than other foam mattresses we’ve tested, making it a good option if you have had bad experiences with other foam beds. The mattress also has a reasonable price-point compared to competing all-foam models.
How It Performed
The Silk & Snow Mattress has a medium (5) feel and is well-suited to people with shoulder, back, and hip pain thanks to the adaptive foam layers. Side sleepers on our team noted significant cushioning for even alignment and less pressure along the spine without sinking too much around the midsection. We also recommend the mattress if you and your partner prioritize motion isolation. The foam absorbed movement when we moved around or got in and out of bed, resulting in minimal motion transfer across the surface.
Construction Breakdown
The stretchy and breathable cover can be removed and laundered in household machines for easy care. The comfort layer is made of memory foam infused with gel engineered to draw heat away from your body. This layer closely contours to your body to relieve pressure buildup. A transitional polyfoam layer helps ensure even weight distribution. The dense polyfoam support core prevents excessive sinkage and promotes an even sleep surface.
Medium (5) and firm (7) designs are available. During our hands-on tests, we found side sleepers up to 230 pounds and back sleepers under 130 pounds may prefer the softer model, whereas most back and stomach sleepers — as well as side sleepers over 230 pounds — may find the firmer design more comfortable and supportive.
Trial, Shipping, and Warranty
Silk & Snow is based in Canada but provides complimentary ground shipping to all Canadian provinces and the contiguous U.S. The mattress comes with a 365-night sleep trial and is backed by a 15-year warranty.
Best Mattress for Pressure Relief
8.6/10Test Lab Score
Douglas Original Hybrid Mattress
A responsive foam hybrid for Canadian sleepers.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side sleepers at least 130 pounds, back sleepers up to 230 pounds, and stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds.
- Feel: Bouncier and more supportive than average but still has ample cushioning and contouring.
- What It’s Made Of: Two inches of memory foam, followed by Elastex polyfoam, high-density polyfoam with five-zone construction in the support core, and cooling fibers in the cover.
- What We Don’t Like: May have some sinkage along the perimeter.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
Pressure relief is an important mattress quality if you find yourself waking up with aches, pains, strain, or soreness in specific areas. The Douglas Original Hybrid can help alleviate pressure buildup thanks to its balanced design, which pairs a top layer of adaptive foam over responsive transitional foam and a robust coil base. Since the coils are zoned, you’ll feel more pushback around your midsection and are less likely to feel discomfort in your shoulders, lower back, or hips.
How It Performed
The Douglas Original Hybrid feels more responsive than the average foam-on-coil hybrid mattress. For many of our testers, this was a good thing. Back and stomach sleepers on our team weighing up to 230 pounds felt particularly comfortable on the Original Hybrid, which many testers attributed to the zoned coil system and extra bounce from the Elastex transitional foam. Side sleepers weighing 130 pounds or more also felt adequately cushioned and supported on the mattress.
The Douglas Original Hybrid performed well during our hands-on tests, especially in the edge support and ease of movement categories. This mattress has some serious bounce, and this can help ensure you’ll be able to use the entire surface of the bed without sinking or dipping due to lack of bounce or reinforcement. At the same time, the extra responsiveness may mean more motion transfer for couples.
Construction Breakdown
The Douglas Original Hybrid begins with a 2-inch comfort layer of gel-infused polyfoam. This material feels plush and adaptive, giving the mattress an invitingly soft surface that molds to your body. The transitional layer is made of Elastex, a latex-like polyfoam that feels quite bouncy in response to movement. This layer helps ensure you don’t sink too much, especially during sleep position changes.
The support core contains individually pocketed coils divided into different zones based on coil gauge, or thickness. Strong springs rest beneath the midsection to provide extra pushback for the torso and hips. The perimeter is also reinforced with thicker coils to bolster edge support. The cover is made of breathable CoolSense fabric. You may unzip and machine-wash the cover if it becomes stained or contaminated.
Trial, Shipping, and Warranty
As part of the GoodMorning.com family, Douglas offers free shipping to customers in all Canadian provinces. Each order is backed by a generous 365-night sleep trial, and owners also receive a lifetime warranty that covers manufacturing defects.
Best Mattress for Back Pain
8.9/10Test Lab Score
Endy Elevate Hybrid
A zoned foam hybrid available in three distinct firmness levels.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side and back sleepers, as well as people with pain.
- Feel: Gentle cushioning and a mellow bounce. A slight dip but without excessive sinkage.
- What It’s Made Of: Two polyfoam layers in the comfort system. Support core contains robust zoned pocketed coils over dense base foam.
- What We Don’t Like: Motion transfer may be an issue for co-sleepers.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
If pressure relief is important in a mattress, the Endy Elevate Hybrid has a well-rounded design that promotes healthy sleep posture while cushioning sensitive areas of your body. We found that the foam-and-coil design eases pressure buildup and maintains strong overall support.
How It Performed
The Endy Elevate Hybrid’s polyfoam layers earned the bed high marks during our pressure relief tests. Our testers reported close cradling in areas prone to pressure buildup, such as the shoulders and hips.
Despite the strong cushioning, the bed still felt supportive to most of our testers, and we could move around the surface with relative ease. Side and back sleepers up to 230 pounds felt most comfortable on the Endy Elevate Hybrid, since these sleep positions are highly compatible with beds that offer an even balance of cushioning and support.
We found the mattress stayed fairly cool thanks to airflow through the pocketed coils in the support core. With two testers lying on the surface at the same time, we noticed that the foam layers absorbed movement effectively.
Construction Breakdown
The mattress has a quilted surface with a plush feel, followed by a polyfoam layer that closely cradles your body. Beneath is another polyfoam layer that offers more contouring but also has a firmer feel to keep you from sinking too deeply. Thick pocketed coils provide sturdy support. The coil system is zoned to give you extra support in the lumbar region, which is beneficial for spinal alignment. The entire mattress is encased in a polyester cover.
Trial, Shipping, and Warranty
Endy offers free shipping to all Canadian provinces. Your purchase includes a 365-night sleep trial to try out the mattress. If you decide to keep the mattress, you’ll also receive a 15-year warranty.
Best Mattress for Couples
8.8/10Test Lab Score
Silk & Snow Organic
An affordable, sustainable latex hybrid that comes in three firmness options.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds, back sleepers up to 230 pounds, and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds.
- Feel: Mellow bounce, strong responsiveness, some cushioning.
- What It’s Made Of: Natural New Zealand wool and organic Dunlop latex. Pocketed coils in the support core and organic cotton cover.
- What We Don’t Like: Not enough support for stomach sleepers who weigh 130 pounds or more. Too firm for most side sleepers under 130 pounds.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
The Silk & Snow Organic features a thick comfort layer made of wool and latex, both naturally breathable materials that helped the surface stay cool in our temperature control tests. Meanwhile, they provided excellent pressure relief for our testers with persistent back pain.
How It Performed
Thanks to the responsive feel, zoned coils, and medium firm (6) feel, we found the mattress best suited back sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds. Side sleepers weighing between 130 and 230 pounds also received adequate cushioning for their shoulders and hips.
Based on its ventilated latex comfort layer and pocketed coil design, we recommend the mattress to anyone who tends to sleep hot. These components promote steady airflow to maintain a comfortable core temperature.
The reinforced perimeter and zoned supportive coils also helped us move across the Silk & Snow Organic with ease. You and your partner can use the entire surface for sleep or sex, rather than being confined to the middle.
Construction Breakdown
The mattress is constructed with a top layer of New Zealand wool batting, followed by layers of organic Dunlop latex. This dense, responsive material provides great reinforcement and light conforming. The latex is ventilated with small holes for added airflow and cooling.
The support core contains individually pocketed coils that offer stability and responsiveness. This layer is zoned with thicker coils beneath your midsection and hips for targeted support and thinner coils to cradle your head, shoulders, and legs. The perimeter is also bolstered with thicker coils to prevent excessive sinkage when you sit on or sleep near the edges of the mattress.
Trial, Shipping, and Warranty
Silk & Snow provides free ground shipping to all Canadian provinces and the contiguous U.S. The mattress is backed by a 365-night sleep trial and a 15-year warranty.
Best Firm Mattress
8.2/10Test Lab Score
Endy Hybrid – Firm
A foam-on-coil mattress with robust support.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side and back sleepers who want relief from pressure points and achy joints without being hugged by their mattress.
- Feel: Firm (7) feel with a light contour on the surface and robust coil support with strong pushback.
- What It’s Made Of: Adaptive polyfoam comfort and transitional layers over pocketed coils with reinforced perimeter support and high-density base foam.
- What We Don’t Like: Side sleepers under 130 pounds will probably find this design too firm, and motion isolation for couples and co-sleepers is limited at best.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
If you weigh more than 230 pounds, sleep on your back and/or stomach, and dislike a close hug from your sleep surface, chances are you’ll prefer a firm mattress that cushions your body without sinking beneath your weight. The Endy Hybrid is available in three designs, including a firm (7) model that meets the criteria for all of these sleeper types. Approachable pricing also sweetens the deal for shoppers with limited budgets.
How It Performed
Our team tested all three Endy Hybrid designs. The firm (7) model earned its highest scores from side sleepers over 230 pounds and back and stomach sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds. Those seeking a softer feel and closer contour should consider the medium soft (4) or medium firm (6) designs.
Robust pocketed coils with edge reinforcement help secure the perimeter, so you shouldn’t sink or dip too much when getting in and out of bed. Since both polyfoam layers share an open-cell composition, the surface is also quite breathable and shouldn’t trap as much heat compared to beds with traditional memory foam layers.
Construction Breakdown
The Endy Hybrid contains one comfort layer and one transitional layer. Both are composed of polyfoam, but the second layer is denser to push back against your weight and keep your body on an even plane. Steel coils and dense base foam make up the support core. The coils are encased in fabric and individually positioned, so they move independently from one another. As a result, you’ll notice a steady bounce in response to movement – this can help you move on the surface, but may also cause motion-related sleep disruptions for couples. A knit polyester cover encases the mattress.
Trial, Shipping, and Warranty
The Endy Hybrid ships free to customers in all Canadian provinces. Some restrictions apply for deliveries to territorial addresses. The Endy Hybrid comes with a 365-night sleep trial. If you decide to keep the mattress past the return period, your purchase is also covered under a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Best Mattress for Spinal Alignment
8.1/10Test Lab Score
Douglas Alpine Mattress
A comfy all-foam mattress with a soothing balance of cushioning and bounce.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Combination side and back sleepers more than 130 pounds.
- Feel: Invitingly plush feel, strong bounce, and responsive to weight.
- What It’s Made Of: Three layers: 2 inches of adaptive memory foam, Elastex polyfoam, and dense base foam.
- What We Don’t Like: Couples may feel motion transfer.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
The Douglas Alpine is an all-foam model that excels at motion isolation. We didn’t notice any noise when getting on and off the mattress. A medium firm (6) feel and responsive comfort layer also help ensure the Alpine won’t sink excessively and or hinder movement.
How It Performed
The Alpine earned strong ratings from the side sleepers on our team, particularly those weighing at least 130 pounds. Back sleepers up to 230 pounds also felt comfortable lying on the mattress. We recommend the Alpine to anyone who needs light conforming and sturdy support from their mattress, particularly if you have found other all-foam beds too soft or prone to excessive sinkage.
Motion isolation was a highlight during our tests. While the polyfoam layers are a bit more responsive than memory foam, none of our testers noticed much motion transfer when lying next to someone else on the mattress. Temperature control was another strength. The foam layers may absorb some heat, but the cooling gel offsets this effect to a noticeable extent.
Construction Breakdown
The three-layer Alpine begins with a comfort layer of proprietary ecolight polyfoam. This material shares the adaptive properties of memory foam, but also feels more responsive and shouldn’t hug the body too tightly. A transitional layer of Elastex polyfoam also delivers some bounce while cushioning the body and serving as a buffer between you and the support core.
The base layer is composed of high-density polyfoam, which stabilizes the mattress well and reinforces the relatively firm feel. A knit polyester cover encases the entire mattress. Measuring 11 inches thick, the Alpine is considered a medium-profile mattress.
Trial, Shipping, and Warranty
Shipping is free for all customers in provincial Canada. Each order includes a 365-night trial period, and those who keep their mattress receive a 15-year warranty against structural defects.
Best Mattress for Combo Sleepers
7.0/10Test Lab Score
Polysleep Sierra
A budget-friendly memory foam mattress with an adaptive, pressure-relieving surface.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side and back sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds, as well as couples.
- Feel: Plush and adaptive, contouring around your body for a cradling “hug” effect that promotes even spinal alignment. Limited sinking and minimal response to movement.
- What It’s Made Of: Two-inch, open-cell memory foam comfort layer, 7-inch high-density foam base, and a knit polyester cover.
- What We Don’t Like: Some heat retention, limited edge support, and resistance when moving.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
The Polysleep Sierra delivers deep body-contouring to help ensure ample cushioning for your body, even spinal alignment, and minimal pressure in your most sensitive areas. Our tests also show the mattress excels at motion isolation, thanks to an adaptive surface layer that absorbs movement well.
How It Performed
The Sierra’s memory foam comfort layer is plush and adaptive, contouring around your body for a cradling “hug” effect that promotes even spinal alignment. However, the comfort system is only 2 inches thick, so most people won’t sink too deeply into the mattress. Minimal response to movement also helps ensure great motion isolation for co-sleepers.
Construction Breakdown
The Sierra’s streamlined design consists of two individual layers. In the comfort system, 2 inches of open-cell memory foam provide plush cushioning below the surface. A 7-inch base layer of high-density polyfoam pushes back against compression to help keep your body on an even plane and stabilize the mattress. A knit polyester cover encases the Sierra. At 9 inches thick, this is considered a low-profile mattress.
Trial, Shipping, and Warranty
Polysleep shipping it free within Canadian provinces and the contiguous U.S. Each order includes a 100-night sleep trial, and you may return the mattress for a refund after 45 nights. If you choose to keep the mattress, your purchase is further by a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Logan & Cove Frontier Hybrid
A Canadian-made hybrid with cushy top layers and a supportive base.
Key Details
- Who It’s Best For: Side sleepers who weigh at least 130 pounds and back and stomach sleepers under 130 pounds.
- Feel: Medium firm (6) balance of surface-level cushioning and pushback from the base layers. Noticeable bounce without excessive motion transfer.
- What It’s Made Of: Adaptive polyfoam, microcoils, and dense transitional foam in the comfort system, encased in a Euro-top cover. Pocketed coil support core has five zones with thicker springs.
- What We Don’t Like: Too soft for side sleepers under 130 pounds.
Scoring & Reviews
The following ratings show how suitable this mattress is for different sleeping positions and sleeper weights. These scores are determined by how well the mattress supports and relieves pressure for each sleeper type.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Performance
Full Breakdown
Logan & Cove is one of Canada’s most prominent mattress brands. Debuting in 2023, the Frontier Hybrid is a great option for anyone seeking a sturdy mattress that reinforces the midsection and cushions lighter areas of the body. The comfort layer contours evenly without hugging the body like memory foam, while a zoned, dual-coil support system ensures steady bounce and limited sinkage along the perimeter.
How It Performed
The medium firm (6) Frontier Hybrid earned positive ratings from most of our testers across different sleep positions and body types. Side sleepers enjoyed the moderate yet even contouring of the adaptive polyfoam, which is enhanced by the minicoil and transitional foam layers, while back and stomach sleepers received sufficient support from the zoned pocketed coils. Our testers between 130 and 230 pounds were particularly impressed.
As with other coil-on-coil mattresses we’ve tested, the Frontier Hybrid excelled during temperature control tests thanks to steady interior airflow. The top layer’s cooling gel infusion also helps prevent excessive heat retention on the surface. Although we noticed a fair amount of motion transfer, the coil layers deliver plenty of responsiveness.
Edge support was another strong performance area for the mattress, and most of our testers felt ample pushback when sitting along the perimeter.
Construction Breakdown
The Frontier Hybrid features a Euro-top surface cushioned with adaptive, gel-infused polyfoam. This material creates a comfortably plush feel when you get into bed, and you’ll notice a gentle cradling effect as your body settles. Mini-coils and dense foam provide transitional support to maintain an even sleep surface.
The pocketed coils are divided into five zones, with thicker low-gauge coils placed along the perimeter and beneath your torso and hips. This ensures extra reinforcement for the entire body, even for those who carry extra weight in their midsections. A breathable knit cover encases the mattress, which measures 13.5 inches thick.

What Mattresses Are Available in Canada?
Many mattress brands ship to Canada, but our focus is on mattresses that are manufactured within the country. We apply the same rigorous criteria to Canadian-made mattresses as we do to those made in the U.S., assessing how each bed’s construction affects its performance for different body weights and sleeping positions.
Canadian shoppers often choose locally made mattresses to support the national economy and avoid international shipping charges. By choosing one of the best mattresses made in Canada, shoppers can get better rest while supporting Canadian jobs and craftsmanship.
What to Consider When Shopping for a Mattress
Choosing the right mattress involves understanding your own needs and preferences, then matching them with the appropriate features, including the mattress’ construction, firmness, and ability to support your body and sleeping position.
Choosing the Right Firmness for You
The “right” firmness is subjective and depends on your sleep position, body weight, and preferences. To make it easier to narrow down mattress options, we use a 10-point firmness scale, where 1 is extra soft and 10 is extra firm.
Contouring and Pressure Relief
Contouring describes how a mattress molds to the curves of your body, while pressure relief refers to the bed’s ability to ease tension by minimizing pressure on muscles and joints. Shoppers seeking strong contouring and pressure relief should look for mattresses with thick, high-quality comfort layers that mold to the body’s shape without sacrificing support.
Sleeping Position and Body Weight
In general, people who weigh less than 130 pounds need a softer mattress that conforms closely, while those over 230 pounds should opt for a firmer model that offers more support.
Side sleepers typically benefit from softer mattresses that allow their hips and shoulders to sink enough to maintain spinal alignment, while back sleepers generally need more support with just enough softness to cushion the lumbar area. Stomach sleepers usually need a firmer mattress to avoid arching in the lower back that can occur if the midsection sinks too deeply.
| Weight | Side Sleepers | Back Sleepers | Stomach Sleepers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Less than 130 lbs. | Soft (3) to Medium (5) | Soft (3) to Medium (5) | Medium Soft (4) to Medium Firm (6) |
| 130 to 230 lbs. | Medium Soft (4) to Medium (5) | Medium (5) to Firm (7) | Medium (5) to Firm (7) |
| More than 230 lbs. | Medium Firm (6) to Firm (7) | Firm (7-8) to Extra Firm (9) | Firm (7-8) to Extra Firm (9) |
Pricing, Sleep Trials, and Warranties
The cost of Canadian mattresses varies widely, from as low as CA$200 for a budget-priced foam bed to more than CA$3,000 for a premium latex model. In general, all-foam mattresses have lower price-points than hybrid or latex beds. Airbeds, which feature inflatable air chambers to fine-tune the bed’s feel, typically have high-end price tags.
Sleep trials allow you to test a mattress in your home for a set period, with options to return or exchange it if it’s not a good fit. Trial periods range anywhere from 90 nights to a full year. Warranties cover structural defects for a specified duration, but it’s important to look closely at exactly what is covered under a warranty to understand its value.
What Types of Mattresses Are Available in Canada?
We group mattresses by their construction and materials. The five most common mattress types are foam, latex, hybrid, innerspring, and airbed. Each mattress type has pros and cons that are important to consider when choosing a mattress.
Foam
Foam mattresses are typically constructed with several layers of foam, each with a different density or feature that affects its performance. Foam mattresses are known for cradling the body and reducing motion transfer, making them a good choice for side sleepers and people seeking pressure relief.
Latex
Natural latex mattresses are designed with latex layers made from the sap of rubber trees, while synthetic latex is made from petrochemicals. These beds tend to be responsive and durable, offering a bouncy feel without excessive sinkage. Natural latex beds are a popular choice for eco-conscious shoppers and those preferring a cooler surface with moderate contouring.
Innerspring
Innerspring mattresses used to be the industry standard, but they have become less popular than other mattress types. Known for their bouncy feel and robust edge support, these beds feature metal coils with a thin top layer for cushioning. Innersprings work well for people who prefer a firmer sleep surface with minimal contouring.
Hybrid
Hybrid mattresses blend the buoyancy of a coil support core with foam or latex comfort layers. The performance of these beds depends heavily on the material used in each layer, but they typically offer a balanced feel. Hybrids are generally well suited for anyone seeking a mix of support and pressure relief.
Airbed
Airbeds contain chambers filled with air that can be adjusted via a remote control or smartphone app. This mattress type caters to sleepers with varying firmness needs. They’re a great fit for those seeking custom support or as a guest bed that can be adjusted based on each visitor’s needs. Airbeds are typically among the most expensive mattress types.
How We Test: Your Comfort Is Our Science
Our industry-leading product testing team cares deeply about improving your sleep. Having a holistic understanding of a mattress’s role as part of a sleep system is paramount to our testing process. Since a bed’s comfort and feel depend largely on body weight and sleeping position, our testing team represents a wide range of body types, sleep positions, and comfort preferences.
In our Seattle-based Test Lab, we use an objective, hands-on process to evaluate mattresses across performance categories. The following are the key guidelines that inform our performance ratings. Our ultimate goal is to ensure you have all the information you need to make the best purchase decision for you.
Construction analysis:We begin testing each mattress by analyzing its design and making note firmness, height, individual layer composition, and sticker price. This allows us to evaluate qualities like support, durability, and value.
Product testing:Firsthand testing is crucial to our evaluation and ratings system. We use a wide range of tools and technology to test mattresses in six performance categories: motion isolation, pressure relief, temperature control, ease of movement, edge support, and odor potential.
Field testing: In addition to lab-based tests, we base our ratings on feedback from field testers who use the mattresses in their own homes. They spend several weeks collecting data — this gives us insights into how the mattress performs night after night for an extended period.
User testing:We curate feedback verified owners have provided in surveys, sleep stories, and product reviews. This helps us evaluate our initial findings and, if needed, tweak our ratings to reflect real-world experiences.
How We Determine Our Overall Scores
To determine a mattress’s overall score, we assign weighted percentages to performance categories based on how important they are to the individual sleep experience. For instance, areas like pressure relief and temperature control tend to matter more to people than something like off-gassing, and because more people sleep on their side and back than on their stomach, we weigh those positions more heavily.
Performance Categories
Motion Isolation
This criteria alludes to the amount of motion a mattress absorbs when a sleeper moves on the surface. We use two testers lying side by side to evaluate motion isolation, who each feel for transfer while the other person moves on the mattress.
Temperature Control
To determine how well a mattress regulates temperature, we perform temperature tests and look closely at its materials and construction. Many mattresses are designed with cooling components meant to reduce heat retention.
Pressure Relief
A bed with strong pressure relief excels at preventing pressure from building up in areas like the shoulders and hips. Beds with even contouring and weight distribution are top performers when it comes to pressure relief.
Off-Gassing
A mattress in a box may release unpleasant chemical odors for a short period after you’ve unboxed it. The initial smell may be strong but typically fades within 2 or 3 days.
Ease of Movement
This criteria reflects how easily a sleeper can move across a bed’s surface. Responsive surfaces made of latex typically perform better than foam surfaces, which can inhibit movement.
Edge Support
We perform sit tests along a bed’s perimeter to measure how well the edges push back against weight. Mattresses with strong edge support have minimal sagging when sleepers sit on or lie close to the perimeter.
