Quick Answer: Endy costs $404 less than Polysleep at the queen size and offers a 365-night trial versus Polysleep's retailer-dependent return policy. According to the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, partner movement is among the top causes of nighttime sleep disruption, and Endy's superior motion isolation makes it the stronger choice for couples sharing a bed.
- Choose Endy if you want better value, a longer trial, and excellent motion isolation
- Choose Polysleep if edge support is your priority and you sleep near the mattress perimeter
- Try both firmness levels in-store before committing to either brand

The $404 Price Gap Nobody Expected
Let us start with the number that will shape most buying decisions: a queen-size Polysleep Origin costs $1,299, while a queen-size Endy costs $895. That is a $404 difference for two mattresses that are both 10 inches tall, both all-foam, and both Canadian-made.
The gap widens at larger sizes. A king Polysleep runs $1,599 compared to $995 for a king Endy, a $604 spread. At the twin size, the difference narrows but is still significant: $899 versus $675.
Price alone does not determine value, of course. Polysleep has some genuine construction advantages that we will get into. But if you are shopping on a budget and firmness preference is your main concern, this price gap is hard to overlook. The $404 you save on an Endy queen could cover a quality pillow set and a mattress protector with money left over.
Polysleep's Big Shift: No More Direct Online Sales
This is the other piece of context that changes the comparison significantly. As of early 2025, Polysleep stopped selling mattresses directly through their website. You can no longer order a Polysleep and have it shipped to your door the way you can with Endy.
Instead, Polysleep now sells exclusively through approved third-party retailers. This means your purchase experience, return policy, and customer service will depend on whichever retailer you buy from. Some retailers may offer their own trial periods. Others may not.
For a brand that built its reputation on the bed-in-a-box direct-to-consumer model, this is a notable shift. It also means that the comparison between these two mattresses is no longer apples-to-apples when it comes to the buying experience. Endy still offers direct online ordering with a 365-night trial and free returns. With Polysleep, your experience depends entirely on where you purchase it.
We are not saying this makes Polysleep a bad choice. The mattress itself has not changed. But the convenience and consumer protection that made online mattress shopping appealing in the first place? Those are largely gone with Polysleep's current sales model.
Construction: Where Polysleep Tries to Justify the Premium
Both mattresses are 10-inch, three-layer foam designs, but Polysleep has one structural feature that genuinely sets it apart: a dense foam perimeter rail system that wraps around the entire mattress edge.
Polysleep Origin Construction
- Layer 1: 2.5 inches of viscoelastic hybrid foam (3.0 lb/ft³ density), open-cell and aerated
- Layer 2: 2 inches of transition polyfoam
- Layer 3: 5.5 inches of high-density support base (1.8 lb/ft³)
- Edge system: 7.5-inch dense foam encasement around the perimeter
- Cover: Liquid-repellent, zip-off, machine-washable
Endy Original Construction
- Layer 1: 2 inches of gel-infused open-cell polyfoam (~3.0 lb/ft³ density)
- Layer 2: 3 inches of transition foam for motion isolation
- Layer 3: 5 inches of dense support base
- Edge system: None (standard foam construction)
- Cover: Micro-quilted, breathable, non-removable
The Polysleep's foam rail is a real engineering difference, not just marketing. If you sit on the edge of your bed to put on shoes, or if you sleep close to the perimeter, you will notice the Polysleep holds its shape where most foam mattresses compress and sag. Polysleep rates 5 out of 5 for edge support in third-party testing, while the Endy scores around 3.5 out of 5.
Polysleep's comfort layer is also half an inch thicker (2.5 inches versus 2 inches), and both use foam with similar density around 3.0 lb/ft³. However, the Endy compensates with a thicker transition layer (3 inches versus 2 inches), which helps with motion isolation and provides a more gradual firmness gradient through the mattress.
The Polysleep cover is liquid-repellent and fully removable for washing. That is a practical advantage over the Endy's non-removable cover, particularly if you have young children or pets. However, a good waterproof mattress protector eliminates this concern for either mattress at a fraction of the price difference.
The Numbers Side by Side
| Feature | Endy | Polysleep Origin |
|---|---|---|
| Twin Price | $675 | $899 |
| Queen Price | $895 | $1,299 |
| King Price | $995 | $1,599 |
| Height | 10" | 10" |
| Firmness | 6.4/10 | 6.0-6.5/10 |
| Type | All-foam | All-foam with foam rail |
| Edge Support | 3.5/5 | 5/5 |
| Motion Isolation | 5/5 | 4/5 |
| Trial Period | 365 nights (direct) | Retailer-dependent |
| Return Fee | Free | Retailer-dependent |
| Warranty | 15 years | 15 years (with registration; 10 years otherwise) |
| Online Purchase | Yes (endy.com) | No (retailers only) |
| Cover | Non-removable, breathable | Removable, liquid-repellent |
| Made In | Canada (Ontario) | Canada (Quebec) |
Looking at this table, the Endy wins on price, trial length, warranty, and motion isolation. The Polysleep wins on edge support and cover functionality. On firmness and construction quality, they are close to a draw.
The question becomes: is superior edge support worth paying $404 more, accepting a shorter warranty, and giving up a direct-to-consumer trial period? For most shoppers, we think the answer is no. But for people who genuinely need strong edge support, whether due to mobility challenges, shared sleeping arrangements in a smaller bed, or simply a habit of sitting on the bed edge, Polysleep delivers something most foam mattresses cannot.
For Couples vs Solo Sleepers
Research published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine has consistently identified partner movement as one of the leading causes of nighttime awakenings among adults who share a bed. Statistics Canada reports that roughly 63% of Canadian adults sleep with a partner, making motion transfer a relevant factor in mattress selection for the majority of households.
The Endy mattress rates 5 out of 5 for motion isolation in independent testing, meaning movement on one side of the bed barely registers on the other. The Polysleep, while good at 4 out of 5, allows slightly more motion transfer due to its firmer foam rail creating a more connected feel across the sleep surface.
If you share a bed and your partner tosses and turns, or if one of you gets up earlier than the other, the Endy is the better pick. That 3-inch transition layer acts as a buffer that absorbs movement before it reaches the other side of the mattress.
Solo sleepers have a different calculation. If you sleep alone and tend to use the full surface of your mattress, including the edges, the Polysleep gives you usable sleeping area right to the perimeter. On most foam mattresses, the outer 4 to 6 inches compress under body weight and feel unstable. The Polysleep's foam rail eliminates that problem.
Quick test for edge sleepers: Lie on your current mattress with your hip aligned at the very edge. If you feel like you might roll off or the mattress sags noticeably, edge support matters to you. If you naturally sleep toward the centre and rarely sit on the bed edge, this feature will not affect your sleep quality meaningfully.
Which Firmness Suits Your Sleep Position
Both mattresses land in the medium-firm range, with the Endy at 6.4/10 and the Polysleep around 6.0 to 6.5/10 depending on which third-party reviewer you trust. In practice, most sleepers will find these feel very similar in firmness.
The difference is more about foam response than firmness level. Endy uses a faster-responding polyfoam that bounces back quickly when you shift positions. Polysleep uses a viscoelastic hybrid foam that has more of a memory foam character, contouring slowly and cradling your body shape.
Back sleepers (average weight): Either mattress works well. The medium-firm support keeps the spine aligned without excessive sinking at the hips. The Endy's slightly firmer feel may suit those who prefer less contouring.
Side sleepers (under 200 lbs): The Polysleep's slightly thicker comfort layer (2.5" versus 2") and slower-responding foam may provide marginally better pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. But the difference is subtle.
Stomach sleepers: Both are acceptable for stomach sleepers at this firmness level, though a firmer mattress in the 7.0 to 8.0 range is generally recommended by physiotherapists. If you are a dedicated stomach sleeper, consider looking at firm mattress options instead.
Heavier sleepers (over 230 lbs): Neither all-foam mattress is ideal for heavier individuals. Both will compress more deeply and may feel softer than their rated firmness. A hybrid mattress with coil support is usually a better long-term choice for this weight range.
An Honest Local Perspective
At Mattress Miracle in Brantford, we have had more than a few customers walk in specifically because they were frustrated trying to buy a Polysleep. The shift away from direct online sales caught people off guard, and not every retailer carrying Polysleep offers the same trial period or return policy that the brand used to provide.
Our advice? If you are set on an all-foam mattress in this price range, the Endy offers a much simpler buying experience with stronger consumer protections. But if you want to feel medium-firm foam in person before spending $895 to $1,299 online, come visit us. We carry foam mattresses and bed-in-a-box options you can try on the spot, and we will give you an honest comparison to what you are considering online.
One more thought worth sharing: at $1,299 for a queen, the Polysleep Origin is entering the price range of in-store mattresses with significantly denser foams, hybrid coil systems, and longer expected lifespans. Both the Endy and Polysleep are estimated to last 5 to 7 years based on their foam densities. For the same money as a Polysleep, you could get a mattress built to last 8 to 10 years. That is not a knock on Polysleep specifically. It is just the reality of all-foam construction at premium pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still buy a Polysleep mattress online in Canada?
Not directly from Polysleep. As of early 2025, Polysleep stopped selling mattresses through their own website and shifted to an in-store retail model through approved third-party sellers. You may find them at certain mattress retailers, but pricing, trial periods, and return policies will vary depending on which retailer you purchase from.
Why is Polysleep so much more expensive than Endy?
The Polysleep Origin includes a dense foam perimeter rail system for edge support, a slightly thicker comfort layer (2.5" vs 2"), and a removable liquid-repellent cover. These features add manufacturing cost. Whether they justify a $404 premium at the queen size depends on how much you value edge support and a removable cover versus a longer trial period and warranty.
Which mattress is better for back pain?
Both mattresses fall in the medium-firm range that research supports for back pain relief. The Canadian Chiropractic Association recommends medium-firm surfaces for most adults with back pain. Given their similar firmness ratings (Endy 6.4/10, Polysleep 6.0-6.5/10), neither has a clear clinical advantage over the other for back pain specifically. Your body weight and sleep position will matter more than the brand you choose.
Is the Polysleep foam rail edge support worth the extra cost?
If you regularly sit on the edge of your bed, sleep close to the perimeter, or share a smaller-sized mattress where usable surface area matters, the Polysleep's edge support is a genuine advantage. If you sleep toward the centre of your mattress and rarely use the edges, you are paying for a feature that will not improve your sleep quality. Most people fall into the second category.
How long do Endy and Polysleep mattresses last?
Both are all-foam mattresses with medium-density foams, and independent testers estimate a lifespan of 5 to 7 years for each. The Polysleep's denser comfort layer (3.0 lb/ft³) and foam rail may help it maintain edge shape slightly longer, but the core support foam in both mattresses uses similar densities. For longer durability, hybrid mattresses with pocketed coil systems typically last 8 to 10 years.
