Quick Answer: The Brick sells genuine, name-brand mattresses from Beautyrest, Sealy, Serta, Stearns & Foster, and Tempur-Pedic at prices that are often 30 to 45% lower than Sleep Country for identical models. Quality depends on the brand and model chosen, not on The Brick itself. The 90-day exchange guarantee (not a refund) is the main limitation, and like all furniture chains, specialist mattress knowledge is secondary to their primary business of appliances and furniture.

What Brands Does The Brick Carry?
The Brick is one of Canada's largest furniture and appliance retailers, and its mattress floor typically includes a strong cross-section of major brands:
- Beautyrest — from standard to Beautyrest Black, their flagship pocket coil hybrid line
- Sealy Posturepedic — entry to mid-range hybrids and foam options
- Serta — foam and hybrid across multiple price points
- Stearns & Foster — premium innerspring hybrid, handcrafted construction
- Tempur-Pedic — proprietary memory foam, highest price point
- Springwall — a Canadian-made option at more accessible price points (starting around $599 for a queen)
- Bedgear — performance sleep accessories and some mattress options
The brands are real and independently reviewed. Beautyrest's pocketed coil system, Sealy's zoned support, and Stearns & Foster's handcrafted innerspring are all legitimate quality products. Buying these at The Brick gives you the same core construction as buying at a specialty store.
How The Brick Prices Compare
One of The Brick's genuine advantages is pricing. Independent comparisons have found The Brick's mattress prices running 30 to 45% lower than Sleep Country for identical models. One published comparison found the same Beautyrest model 43% cheaper at The Brick.
This is meaningful. If you know exactly which model you want, The Brick is worth checking before committing elsewhere. They also run regular promotional sales events that can bring prices down further.
Why the same mattress costs different prices at different retailers: Mattress manufacturers often assign different model names to the same or similar constructions across retail channels. This "channel exclusivity" practice means that the "Beautyrest Silver" at one store and the "Beautyrest Silver BRX" at another may share core construction specs but are branded differently, making direct price comparisons difficult. When comparing prices, verify coil count, foam layers, and height match before assuming two model names represent the same mattress.
The Brick's 90-Day Sleep Guarantee Explained
The Brick offers a 90-day sleep guarantee that allows one mattress exchange if you're not satisfied with your comfort. Key terms:
- Exchange only: You swap for a different mattress from The Brick's selection. No cash refund for comfort preferences.
- Extendable to 180 days: Purchasing a mattress protector at the time of sale typically extends the guarantee to 180 days — worth confirming at your location.
- One exchange: The guarantee typically allows a single exchange per purchase.
- Condition requirements: The mattress must be in good condition and used with a protector.
The 90-day baseline is shorter than Leon's 200-night guarantee, though the extendable window is a reasonable option. Both fall short of dedicated online brands with 100- to 365-night trials that include full refunds.
Dorothy, Sleep Specialist: "The exchange-versus-refund distinction matters a lot. If you buy a mattress and realize after 60 nights that no mattress from that retailer's floor suits you, an exchange doesn't help. You're locked in. With a brand that offers a full refund trial, you can walk away completely if needed. That's a real difference in risk."
Quality by Brand at The Brick
| Brand | Type | Price range (queen) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beautyrest (World Class) | Pocketed coil hybrid | ~$800+ | Motion isolation, couples |
| Sealy Posturepedic | Hybrid / foam | ~$699-$1,499 | Back sleepers, everyday use |
| Serta Perfect Sleeper | Hybrid / foam | ~$799-$1,299 | Balanced support |
| Stearns & Foster | Luxury innerspring hybrid | ~$1,499+ | Premium feel, back support |
| Tempur-Pedic | Proprietary memory foam | ~$1,999+ | Pain relief, minimal motion |
| Springwall | Innerspring / foam | ~$599+ | Budget-conscious buyers |
For most budget-conscious shoppers, Beautyrest World Class or Sealy Posturepedic at The Brick offers genuinely good quality at a lower price than you'd find at a dedicated mattress chain. Springwall, a Canadian-made brand, is a reasonable entry-level option.
Who The Brick Is a Good Choice For
The Brick works well if:
- Price is a primary consideration and you've done your homework on which brand and model you want
- You're consolidating a furniture and mattress purchase in one trip
- You're comfortable with the 90-day exchange policy (rather than a full refund option)
- You're comparing prices against Sleep Country or other chains for the same model
The Brick may not be ideal if:
- You need specialist guidance on mattress construction, coil counts, or sleep position matching
- You want a full refund option if the mattress isn't right
- Delivery reliability is a top priority (check recent local reviews)
- You're looking for Canadian-made alternatives with transparent construction specs

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Brick mattresses good quality?
The Brick carries legitimate, nationally recognized brands including Beautyrest, Sealy, Stearns & Foster, and Tempur-Pedic. The quality of these mattresses is the same as at other retailers — The Brick is a distributor, not a manufacturer. The key question is whether you're getting the right model for your needs and whether the post-purchase support meets your expectations.
Is The Brick cheaper than Sleep Country for mattresses?
Often yes. Published comparisons have found The Brick pricing 30 to 45% lower than Sleep Country for identical or equivalent models. The Brick's lower overhead as a general retailer versus a specialist chain allows for more competitive pricing. Comparing specific model names carefully is important, as channel-exclusive naming makes direct comparisons harder.
What is The Brick's sleep guarantee?
The Brick's 90-day sleep guarantee allows one mattress exchange if you're not satisfied with your comfort. It is an exchange, not a refund. Purchasing a mattress protector at the time of sale typically extends this to 180 days. Confirm the exact terms with your local store before purchasing.
Does The Brick carry Canadian-made mattresses?
Yes. Springwall is a Canadian-made mattress brand typically available at The Brick. It's an accessible entry-level option for buyers who prefer Canadian manufacturing. For a wider selection of Canadian-made mattresses in Brantford, Mattress Miracle carries Restonic and Sleep In, both with transparent specs.
Does The Brick offer white-glove mattress delivery?
The Brick's delivery service includes setup and placement of your new mattress. Old mattress removal may be included or offered as an add-on depending on your location and purchase terms. Confirm with your local store at time of purchase.
