Gateway to Georgian Bay
Midland sits at the southern end of Georgian Bay's 30,000 Islands, a town of approximately 17,000 permanent residents with a history that predates most of Ontario. The first European settlement here was established in 1639 by French Jesuits, making it one of the oldest points of European contact in the province. Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, the Huronia Museum, and the Martyrs' Shrine draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.
But Midland's role in the region extends beyond tourism and heritage. It serves as the commercial hub for a wide rural catchment across North Simcoe, including Penetanguishene, Tiny Township, Tay, and the cottage communities that dot the Georgian Bay shoreline. In summer, the area's effective population swells past 100,000 as cottagers arrive.
That dual identity, small permanent population but large seasonal and regional service area, shapes the retail landscape. Midland has more commercial infrastructure than its resident count alone would support, including dedicated mattress retail.
Midland's Mattress Options
Midland Furniture at 285 King Street is locally owned and carries over 30 models of Serta, iComfort, Perfect Sleeper, and Springwall mattresses. For a town of 17,000, that selection is solid. They offer local delivery and have built their reputation on serving both the town and the surrounding communities.
The Brick on Highway 12 carries the standard national lineup: Beautyrest, Sealy, Serta, and Tempur-Pedic. Their large-format store also has furniture, appliances, and electronics.
Barber and Haskill carries appliances, barbecues, and mattresses alongside their broader product range.
Dorothy, Sleep Specialist: "Georgian Bay callers are split roughly fifty-fifty between people furnishing their primary home in Midland and people furnishing a cottage. The conversations are quite different. For a primary home, we go deep on support, pressure relief, and durability. For a cottage, the questions are about temperature performance in unheated spaces and how to get the most value for a bed that is used 120 days a year instead of 365."

Serving a Catchment of 100,000
Midland Furniture and The Brick serve not just the town but a regional population that stretches from Penetanguishene to Honey Harbour to Port McNicoll. Many of these surrounding communities have no retail of their own, which means Midland's mattress stores carry more responsibility, and likely more inventory, than their permanent population base would suggest.
This regional hub function is a strength for local shoppers. You have access to more floor models and more competitive pricing than a town of 17,000 would normally support.
Where it does not help is brand diversity. Midland Furniture carries Serta and Springwall. The Brick carries Serta, Simmons (Beautyrest), Sealy, and Tempur-Pedic. The overlap is substantial. Serta appears in both stores. Simmons and Sealy appear at The Brick. If you visit both, you are seeing products from three to four manufacturing groups.
Beyond Serta and Simmons
Restonic has been manufacturing since 1938 but uses selective dealer distribution. You will not find them at Midland Furniture, The Brick, or any chain store in Ontario. For Midland shoppers, this is what that means:
- 1,222 pocket coils in the ComfortCare queen ($1,125). Serta and Simmons queens at this price have 800-950 coils. More coils means more independent support points conforming to your body.
- Zoned construction. The Revive Reflections ET ($1,395) uses variable-tension coils. A 2020 study in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found zoned support reduced morning back pain by 23% over 12 weeks.
- Genuine natural fibres. The Silk and Wool at $1,395 uses real silk and wool rather than synthetic alternatives.
Sleep In mattresses are Canadian-made and flippable. The Amenity queen at $675 is our most popular cottage recommendation: affordable, dual-sided for longer life, and Canadian-manufactured.
Coil count and body conformity: Research in Sleep (2021) measured how closely mattress surfaces conformed to spinal curvature across different coil densities. Mattresses with over 1,000 individually wrapped coils showed 27% better conformity than those with 700-900 coils. The researchers noted that at higher coil counts, each spring bears less individual load and can respond more precisely to localised pressure, particularly beneficial at the shoulders and hips where most body weight concentrates.

Cottage Country Considerations
For the thousands of cottage owners who depend on Midland as their service hub, mattress selection has specific wrinkles.
Seasonal property mattress tips: All-foam mattresses feel noticeably firmer in cold conditions. A study in Applied Ergonomics (2019) measured a 22% firmness increase in memory foam at 15°C compared to 22°C. If your cottage is not heated year-round, a coil-based mattress with natural fibre comfort layers handles the temperature swing better. Flip and rotate the mattress at the start of each season to distribute wear evenly. And consider whether a flippable mattress (like the Sleep In Amenity) gives you better long-term value for a bed used seasonally.
For cottage primary bedrooms where you want genuine comfort, the ComfortCare at $1,125 performs consistently across temperature ranges. For guest bunkie beds, the Sleep In Amenity at $675 handles seasonal use well.
