Quick Answer: Costco sells Novaform brand mattresses (foam) from around $500–$900 Queen, with a 90-day return policy for members. The 90-day window is shorter than most dedicated mattress brands. Douglas ($799, 365-night trial), Logan & Cove ($999, 365-night trial), and Restonic ComfortCare ($1,125, in-store at Mattress Miracle) all offer better support and longer trials.

Buying a Mattress from Costco: What to Know
Costco Canada sells mattresses primarily under the Novaform brand, a foam mattress label exclusive to Costco. Novaform uses gel memory foam and other foam formulations, with Queen prices typically ranging from around $500 to $900 depending on the model and your local warehouse stock.
Costco’s general return policy is very generous for most products. For mattresses, the practical window is 90 days for most locations. After 90 days, returns become more difficult. This is shorter than the 100-night trials offered by dedicated mattress brands, and significantly shorter than Douglas’s 365-night trial.
90 Days vs 365 Days: What the Research Suggests
Body adaptation to a new sleep surface takes time. Research on mattress comfort assessment found that 60–90 days of use produces significantly different satisfaction outcomes than assessments made in the first few weeks (Radwan et al., 2015). A 90-day window ends exactly at the point where your body has adapted and long-term comfort patterns are beginning to emerge. A 365-night trial like Douglas’s gives you time to assess the mattress across all seasons and sleep patterns.

Is Novaform at Costco a good mattress?
Novaform makes decent gel memory foam mattresses at competitive prices. The quality is adequate for average-weight solo sleepers who prefer memory foam. The limitation is the 90-day return window and the fact that you cannot select from multiple construction types , Costco carries foam only, not hybrids or innersprings.
What is Costco’s mattress return policy in Canada?
Costco Canada’s general return policy is very flexible, but mattresses typically fall under a 90-day return window at most locations. Some locations have stricter hygiene policies. Confirm with your local warehouse before purchasing.
Is there a better mattress alternative to Costco near Brantford?
Yes. Mattress Miracle at 441 1/2 West Street carries Restonic mattresses with 1,222 pocketed coils starting at $1,619. You can test before buying, get expert guidance from our team, and support a local Brantford business that has been open since 1997.
Does Costco sell coil or hybrid mattresses?
Costco’s Novaform lineup is primarily foam-based. They occasionally carry a limited selection of hybrid or innerspring options, but availability varies by location and season. For a reliable coil mattress with consistent availability, dedicated mattress retailers are more dependable.
How does Novaform compare to Douglas mattress Canada?
Douglas at $799 is in a similar price range to upper-tier Novaform models and offers a 365-night trial vs Costco’s 90 days, plus a 20-year warranty. Both are foam mattresses. Douglas is the stronger long-term value, though Novaform can undercut on price at the entry level.
