Quick Answer

Queen mattresses at Costco Canada range from $449 to $999 across brands like Novaform, Sealy, Casper, and Beautyrest. None can be tested before purchase. The Restonic ComfortCare queen at Mattress Miracle costs $1,125, packs 1,222 Verticoil springs, and includes a professional fitting so you know it works before you pay.

Why do more Canadians sleep on a queen mattress than any other size? At 60 by 80 inches, a queen fits most bedrooms comfortably, accommodates couples without taking over the room, and sits at a price point between the budget of a double and the premium of a king. It is the default choice for good reason.

But that popularity is exactly what makes getting it right so important. If a queen is where you will spend the next 8 to 10 years sleeping, you should probably do more than grab one off a Costco pallet based on the price tag. A queen is not a case of paper towels. It is the foundation of your nightly recovery, and at Costco Canada, you are buying it blind.

Costco Canada Queen Mattress Lineup

Costco Canada rotates queen mattress stock throughout the year, but the brand mix and price ranges stay relatively consistent.

Brand Price Range Type Approx. Coils
Novaform $449-$649 Memory foam N/A
Sealy Essentials $499-$599 Innerspring ~600
Sealy Posturepedic $599-$749 Innerspring ~700-800
Casper Select $699-$899 Foam / Hybrid Varies
Beautyrest $799-$999 Pocket coil ~800-1,000
Restonic ComfortCare Queen $1,125 Verticoil 1,222

The Restonic ComfortCare queen at $1,125 sits just $126 to $326 above Costco's upper-tier queens. But the coil count of 1,222 is 222 to 622 more springs than anything Costco offers. That is not a minor difference. It is the difference between a mattress that supports your body at a few hundred points and one that supports it at over a thousand.

Canadian Pricing and What Affects It

Canadian shoppers often notice that Costco Canada queen mattress prices are higher than US Costco prices for what appear to be similar products. Several factors drive this gap.

Why Canadian Costco Mattresses Cost More

  • Exchange rate: The Canadian dollar has been weaker than the US dollar, inflating import costs
  • Shipping: Mattresses are heavy and bulky, making cross-border logistics expensive
  • Import duties: Canadian customs charges apply to mattresses manufactured outside Canada
  • Smaller market: Lower sales volume in Canada means less bulk pricing advantage
  • HST/GST: Federal and provincial sales tax adds 5% to 15% depending on province

A queen mattress priced at $599 at US Costco might be $699 to $749 at Costco Canada before tax. Add 13% HST in Ontario and that $749 becomes $846. The perceived savings from warehouse pricing erodes quickly when Canadian reality kicks in.

By contrast, Restonic mattresses are designed and assembled for the Canadian market. The pricing at Mattress Miracle reflects actual Canadian costs without the markup of importing through a US-first distribution chain.

The No-Test Problem with Canada's Favourite Size

A queen is the most common mattress size for Canadian couples. Two people sharing 60 by 80 inches of sleeping space need a mattress that works for both bodies. At Costco Canada, both partners are making that decision based on a label and a price tag.

What You Cannot Learn About a Queen Mattress at Costco

  • Whether the firmness suits your sleep position (side, back, or stomach)
  • How much motion transfers when your partner rolls over
  • Whether the edge support holds when one person sits on the side of the bed
  • How your spine aligns on the surface (the most critical factor for back health)
  • Whether the comfort layers generate too much heat for your body temperature
  • How it feels after 10 minutes of lying still versus the first 30 seconds

Talia at Mattress Miracle spends 15 to 30 minutes with each customer testing queen mattresses. "I watch how their spine lines up from the side view," she explains. "I check whether their shoulders sink in far enough for side sleeping, or whether their lower back is supported for back sleeping. None of that is possible at Costco."

The stakes are higher with a queen because two people need to agree. A queen mattress that is too firm for a 130-pound side sleeper but perfect for a 200-pound back sleeper creates a nightly compromise where nobody sleeps well. Professional fitting identifies these mismatches before you spend a dollar.

Costco.ca vs. In-Warehouse Queen Mattresses

Canadian shoppers have two Costco channels for buying a queen mattress, and the experience differs significantly between them.

Costco.ca (Online)

  • Wider selection with online-exclusive models
  • Delivery included in most cases
  • May include white glove setup on select models
  • Prices sometimes differ from warehouse (higher or lower)
  • Returns require scheduling a pickup, which can take days

In-Warehouse

  • Limited selection based on what your local warehouse stocks
  • Self-haul required (queen is 60 x 80 inches, 60-100 lbs)
  • Same-day purchase if in stock
  • Returns require hauling the mattress back to the warehouse
  • Stock rotates and models may disappear without warning

Neither channel lets you test the mattress. Online buying adds the convenience of delivery but removes even the possibility of seeing the product in person. Warehouse buying lets you see the packaging but not the sleeping surface. Both methods require you to commit hundreds of dollars on faith.

Restonic Queen Mattresses: Built for Your Body

Mattress Miracle carries the complete Restonic queen lineup, giving Canadian couples options from everyday comfort to luxury flagship models.

Restonic Model Queen Price Coils Standout Feature
ComfortCare $1,125 1,222 Edge-to-edge Verticoil support
Revive Reflections ET $2,395 1,200 Flippable dual-sided design
Luxury Silk and Wool $2,395 884 zoned Natural silk and wool comfort
Revive Tiffany Rose / Jasmine $2,995 1,188 Talalay Copper Latex
Revive St Charles / Elizabeth $3,150 1,188 15-inch flagship, maximum luxury

The ComfortCare queen at $1,125 is the entry point, and it already outperforms every queen in Costco Canada's lineup on coil count. At 1,222 Verticoil springs, it has 222 more coils than the highest Costco option. For couples who want the best Canadian-market queen mattress available, the Revive lineup offers materials and engineering that Costco simply does not carry.

Brad explains the fitting difference: "Every body is different. A 5'2 woman who sleeps on her side needs a completely different firmness than a 6'1 man who sleeps on his back. When both people share a queen, we need to find the mattress that works for both. That takes time, attention, and expertise. Costco offers none of those."
