About Electric Grand Towns
Electric Grand Towns is one of Brantford's newer townhome developments, part of the city's continued residential growth. The development offers modern townhome living with contemporary floor plans designed for young families, couples, and first-time homeowners looking for new construction in a connected neighbourhood.
At Mattress Miracle, we have been helping Brantford homeowners set up their bedrooms since 1997. Every new development brings its own floor plan variations, and Electric Grand Towns is no exception. Getting the right mattress size for each bedroom is one of the first practical decisions new homeowners face.
Brantford's Growing Townhome Market
Townhome developments like Electric Grand Towns, Silverbridge, Havendale, and Forestwood are reshaping Brantford's residential landscape. Townhomes offer a middle ground between condos and detached homes, with multi-level living, private entrances, and more space than an apartment. Our showroom at 441 1/2 West Street is a short drive from most of these developments.
Bedroom Sizing by Floor Plan
Modern Brantford townhomes follow certain patterns in their bedroom layouts. While specific dimensions vary by builder and model, here is what we typically see in developments like Electric Grand Towns.
Primary Bedroom
Primary bedrooms in newer townhomes generally measure 11x13 to 13x15 feet. At these dimensions, a queen mattress (60x80 inches) fits easily with nightstands on both sides and clearance at the foot of the bed. Some larger floor plans can accommodate a king (76x80 inches), though furniture placement requires more thought.
Brad always recommends measuring the actual room once you have access. "Builder floor plans show approximate dimensions, but the finished room might be slightly different once baseboards, closet doors, and window casings are in place. An extra inch here or there matters when you are fitting a king," he explains.
Secondary Bedrooms
Secondary bedrooms in townhomes typically range from 9x10 to 11x12 feet. These rooms work best with a double mattress (54x75 inches) or twin XL (38x80 inches). A queen can fit in the larger secondary rooms, but it may limit space for other furniture like a desk or dresser.
Third Bedroom or Flex Space
If your Electric Grand Towns floor plan includes a third bedroom or flex room, expect it to be the most compact space, usually 8x10 to 9x10 feet. A twin mattress (38x75 inches) is the practical choice. This leaves room for the space to serve double duty as a guest room and home office.
Bedroom Space and Sleep Quality
Research on sleep environment suggests that perceived spaciousness affects relaxation and sleep onset. A bedroom with adequate walking space around the bed, clear sightlines, and minimal visual clutter promotes a calmer sleep environment. Choosing a mattress that leaves at least 24 inches of clearance on your primary side supports both comfort and safety.
Mattress Recommendations
Based on the bedroom sizes we see in Electric Grand Towns and similar Brantford developments, here are our top picks.
Primary Bedroom: Queen Mattress
Our Restonic ComfortCare Queen at $1,619 is the most popular choice for townhome primary bedrooms. It features 1,222 individually wrapped coils for excellent motion isolation and support. Each coil responds independently, so one partner's movement does not disturb the other.
For couples who value temperature regulation, the Restonic Luxury Silk and Wool Queen at $1,395 uses natural wool and silk fibres to wick moisture and regulate heat. Dorothy, our sleep specialist, recommends this one for anyone who finds new homes run warmer than expected due to modern insulation standards.
Secondary Bedrooms
The Restonic ComfortCare Double (980 coils) is a solid choice for kids' rooms and guest rooms. It uses the same individually wrapped coil system as the queen, scaled to the smaller size. For teens who want more floor space, a twin XL gives them the same 80-inch length as a queen without the width.
Adjustable Bases
An adjustable base can be a smart addition for a townhome bedroom. It replaces the need for a separate headboard and allows you to adjust the sleeping position for reading, watching TV, or addressing snoring and acid reflux. The compact head and foot articulation works well in rooms where a bulky bed frame might feel overwhelming.

Delivery and Access Planning
Getting a mattress into a multi-level townhome requires some planning. Here is what to consider for Electric Grand Towns.
Staircase Measurements
Townhome staircases in Brantford new builds are typically 36 inches wide with at least one 90-degree turn at a landing. A queen mattress (60 inches wide) clears this when tilted on its side. A king (76 inches) is doable but may require careful manoeuvring at the turn.
Measure three things: staircase width, ceiling height at the landing, and the distance from the last step to the opposite wall at the turn. Call Brad at (519) 770-0001 with these numbers and he can tell you exactly what will work.
Front Door and Hallway
Standard front doors in new Brantford townhomes are 36 inches wide. Interior doors may be 30 to 32 inches. Both widths accommodate a queen on its side. Make sure nothing blocks the path from the front door to the staircase, including shoes, coat racks, or moving boxes.
Our White Glove Service
Our white glove delivery team handles everything: bringing the mattress in, navigating the stairs, setting it up in the bedroom, removing all packaging, and taking away your old mattress if applicable. We use shoe covers and floor protection on every delivery to new homes.
Pre-Move Delivery
Schedule your mattress delivery a day or two before your main move. Having a properly made bed waiting for you on moving day is one of the best decisions you can make. After hours of lifting boxes and arranging furniture, collapsing onto a real mattress instead of an air mattress changes everything.
New Home Bedroom Setup
Setting up a bedroom in a new townhome is a chance to start fresh. Here are practical tips from our team.
Bed Placement
Position the bed against the longest wall, ideally opposite the window. This maximizes floor space, keeps direct sunlight off the mattress surface, and gives you the best view of the room when lying in bed. Leave at least 24 inches on your primary entry side.
Foundation and Support
A mattress needs proper support to perform well and maintain its warranty. If your bed frame has slats, ensure they are no more than 3 inches apart. A platform frame eliminates the box spring entirely and keeps the bed profile low, which works well in standard 8-foot ceiling townhomes.
Temperature Management
New homes with modern insulation and sealed windows can run warmer than older Brantford homes. Consider breathable bedding and pillows to complement your mattress. A waterproof mattress protector is essential for protecting your investment from spills and moisture while maintaining airflow.
Getting Settled in Electric Grand Towns
Electric Grand Towns puts you close to Brantford's amenities while offering the benefits of new construction.

How far is Mattress Miracle from Electric Grand Towns?
Our showroom at 441 1/2 West Street, Brantford is a short drive from most new developments in the city. We are open Monday through Wednesday 10 to 6, Thursday and Friday 10 to 7, Saturday 10 to 5, and Sunday 12 to 4. Call (519) 770-0001 for directions.
Can I schedule delivery before my move-in date?
Yes. We regularly deliver to new construction before move-in day. You just need to arrange access to the home with your builder. Our team will deliver, set up the mattress in the bedroom, and remove all packaging so everything is ready when you arrive with your moving truck.
What if the mattress does not fit up the stairs?
Our delivery team has navigated hundreds of townhome staircases. Options include angling the mattress through tight turns, temporarily removing a bedroom door for extra clearance, or using compression techniques for foam and hybrid models. Call Brad with your staircase measurements and he will advise before you order.
Do I need a box spring for a new townhome?
Not necessarily. Many new homeowners choose platform bed frames that provide mattress support without a box spring. This keeps the bed profile lower, which works well in townhome bedrooms with standard ceilings. If you do use a box spring, ensure your total bed height allows comfortable entry and exit.
