Peterborough's Independent Mattress Stores
Most of the Ontario cities we write about are mattress deserts. Peterborough is the opposite. For a city of roughly 84,000 people, the independent mattress retail scene here is remarkably deep.
Bennett's Furniture and Mattresses (since 1926)
Bennett's has been family-owned for a century. One hundred years of selling furniture and mattresses in the same region, with locations serving Peterborough, Campbellford, Kingston, Lindsay, Haliburton, and the broader Kawartha Lakes area. A business does not survive a hundred years by accident. It survives by taking care of people.
Bennett's carries a broad selection and has the regional reach to service warranty claims locally. If you live in the Kawarthas, they should be your first stop.
Mattress Outlet and More (45+ years)
Located at 10 Lansdowne Street, Mattress Outlet and More has been serving Peterborough for over 45 years. They specialize in custom-made mattresses and can build to any size, which is valuable if you have a non-standard bed frame, an antique four-poster, or an RV that needs a specific cut.
Custom manufacturing means they control the entire build process. That gives them flexibility that neither chain stores nor most independent dealers (including us) can match.
Mattress By Appointment
At 1123 Water Street, Mattress By Appointment operates on a factory-direct model with appointment-only shopping. They advertise 50-80% off big-box prices by eliminating showroom overhead. Their Canadian-made mattresses ship directly from the factory.
The appointment model is not for everyone, but it does mean you get undivided attention during your visit. No wandering a showroom floor waiting for a salesperson.
Talia, Showroom Specialist: "Peterborough is one of those cities where I genuinely tell callers to shop locally first. Bennett's has been around since 1926, which is almost 60 years longer than us. Mattress Outlet does custom builds that we cannot. If someone calls from Peterborough, I ask what they have already tested and what they did not like. Usually, it turns out they are looking for something specific that their local stores do not carry, and that is where we can help."

Chain Stores in Peterborough
Beyond the independents, Peterborough also has the standard chain lineup:
| Store | Address | Brands |
|---|---|---|
| Sleep Country | Lansdowne corridor | Serta, Beautyrest, Tempur-Pedic |
| The Brick | 1200 Lansdowne St W | Serta, Sealy, Beautyrest |
| Surplus Furniture | 700 Clonsilla Ave | Budget and mid-range selection |
Between the independents and the chains, Peterborough residents have access to at least six mattress stores. That is more per capita than Markham or Vaughan, which are four times the population.
Why We Are Writing This Honestly
You might be wondering why a mattress store in Brantford is writing a guide for a city that clearly does not lack for options. Fair question.
The honest answer is that this is an SEO article. We want to be visible when someone in Peterborough searches for "mattress sale" because a small percentage of those searchers are looking for something their local stores do not carry. We are not pretending Peterborough needs us. We are saying that for certain buyers with certain preferences, we offer products that are genuinely not available locally.
On consumer choice: Research published in the Journal of Marketing Research (2022) found that consumers in markets with strong independent retail report higher purchase satisfaction overall, regardless of which store they ultimately buy from. The presence of independents raises the bar for chains and creates a more informed buyer. Peterborough's retail mix is a good example of this effect in action.
If you test mattresses at Bennett's, Mattress Outlet and More, Mattress By Appointment, Sleep Country, and The Brick, and you find something you love, buy it. You do not need to call us. But if you go through all of that and still feel like something is missing, read on.
What Restonic Adds to Your Comparison
Restonic is not sold at any Peterborough retailer. They distribute exclusively through independent dealers, and their closest authorized showroom to Peterborough is our store in Brantford.
Two things distinguish Restonic from what you will find locally:
Coil density at mid-range prices. The ComfortCare queen uses 1,222 individually wrapped coils at $1,125. Most queen mattresses at Sleep Country and The Brick in that price range use 800-1,000 coils. Research in Applied Ergonomics (2021) found that higher coil density improves pressure distribution and reduces partner disturbance, particularly for side sleepers.
Flippable construction. The Revive Reflections ($1,395, 1,200 coils) and Luxury Silk and Wool ($1,395, 884 zoned coils) are both dual-sided. You flip and rotate them, distributing wear across two sleeping surfaces. The Sleep Research Society estimates this extends mattress lifespan by 40-60%. Chain stores in Peterborough almost exclusively sell single-sided models.
| Model | Queen Price | Coils | Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| ComfortCare | $1,125 | 1,222 | Highest coil count at price point |
| Revive Reflections ET | $1,395 | 1,200 | Flippable with two comfort levels |
| Luxury Silk and Wool | $1,395 | 884 zoned | Natural fibres, temperature regulation |
| Revive Tiffany Rose | $1,995 | 1,188 | Talalay Copper Latex |
| Revive St Charles | $2,150 | 1,188 | 15-inch flagship |
We also carry Sleep In, a Canadian-made flippable mattress brand starting at $675 for a queen. That is a solid budget-to-mid option for Trent University students or young professionals setting up a first apartment.
The Distance Question
Peterborough to Brantford is about 230 kilometres. That is roughly two hours and fifteen minutes via the 115 to the 401 to the 403. It is not a casual Saturday errand.
We are not going to pretend that is a short drive. For most Peterborough residents, the practical options are:
Option 1: Phone consultation + delivery. Call Talia at (519) 770-0001. Tell her what you tested locally at Bennett's, Mattress Outlet, or Sleep Country. She will match your preferences against our Restonic lineup and recommend specific models. Order by phone, and we deliver white glove to Peterborough. This is how most Kawartha customers buy from us.
Option 2: Combine with a GTA trip. If you are heading to Toronto for any reason, Brantford is an hour west of the city. Some Peterborough customers stop by our showroom on the way to or from a Toronto trip. We are right off the 403 in downtown Brantford.
Delivery to Peterborough is our full white glove service. Our team brings the mattress into your bedroom, sets it up, removes packaging, and takes your old mattress. We regularly deliver to the Kawarthas.
Who This Actually Helps
We are not trying to convince all 84,000 Peterborough residents to buy from us. That would be dishonest and impractical. Here are the specific situations where calling us makes sense:
You want Restonic specifically. No Peterborough store carries it. If you have researched the brand online and want to test or purchase, we are your closest option.
You want a flippable mattress with coil construction. Mattress Outlet and More may offer custom flippable builds (worth asking them), but chain stores do not. Our Reflections and Silk and Wool models are factory-built flippable options with specific coil systems.
You have shopped extensively and feel unsatisfied. After visiting six stores, some people still have not found the right mattress. That usually means the available brands are not matching their body's needs. Trying a different manufacturer like Restonic, with its distinct construction approach, can break that cycle.
You are a Trent student furnishing a first apartment. The Sleep In Amenity at $675 for a queen is Canadian-made and flippable. It will last through your degree and beyond. Shop Pay installments are available for online purchases.
Kawartha Lakes connection: Peterborough serves as the commercial hub for Kawartha Lakes, Lindsay, Lakefield, and surrounding communities. If you live anywhere in this catchment area, the same delivery logistics apply. We deliver to the broader Peterborough region, not just the city proper.

Call 519-770-0001Frequently Asked Questions
Should I shop at Bennett's before calling you?
Yes. Bennett's has been selling furniture and mattresses since 1926 and serves the entire Kawartha region. They have earned their century-long reputation. Test their selection first. If you find something you love, buy it. Call us if you want to compare against Restonic or if you are specifically looking for a flippable coil mattress.
Do you deliver to Peterborough?
Yes. Full white glove delivery including bedroom setup, old mattress removal, packaging disposal, and floor protection. We deliver to Peterborough, Kawartha Lakes, Lindsay, Lakefield, and surrounding communities. Call Talia at (519) 770-0001 to arrange scheduling.
How long does delivery to Peterborough take?
We typically schedule Peterborough deliveries within one to two weeks of purchase, depending on model availability and delivery route scheduling. Weekend delivery is available. Talia will confirm the timeline when you order.
Is there a good mattress option for Trent students on a budget?
The Sleep In Amenity queen at $675 is Canadian-made and flippable, which means it will outlast your degree. For twins, our Restonic ComfortCare starts at $599 with 690 coils. Both are meaningful upgrades over the $200-$400 options at Surplus Furniture. Shop Pay installments available for online orders.
Can Mattress Outlet and More build a custom flippable mattress?
We would recommend asking them directly. Their custom manufacturing capability means they may be able to build dual-sided mattresses to specification. That is a genuine advantage of local custom manufacturing. Our flippable options are factory-built by Restonic in Waterloo, Ontario, which means consistent specs but no customization on materials or firmness.
