Quick Answers
Who actually needs firm? Stomach sleepers, back sleepers, and heavier folks (200+ lbs) usually do better on firm. It keeps your spine from dipping. Side sleepers? Probably not firm.
Firm or medium-firm? Honestly, medium-firm works for most people. True firm (7-8 out of 10) is really only for stomach sleepers or those over 230 lbs. Come try both - you'll know quickly.
Can firm cause back pain? If it's too firm for your body, yes. A 130 lb side sleeper needs very different support than a 230 lb back sleeper. There's no one-size-fits-all.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best rated mattress in Canada?
There's no single 'best' mattress for everyone - it depends on your sleep position, body weight, and preferences. That said, hybrid mattresses with pocketed coils and quality foam tend to earn high ratings from Canadian consumers. We recommend trying before you buy when possible.
Is Douglas or Endy mattress better?
Both are decent Canadian bed-in-a-box options. Douglas tends to sleep cooler with its gel memory foam, while Endy is known for motion isolation. However, both are all-foam designs that may not suit everyone. Heavier sleepers or those wanting more support often prefer hybrid mattresses with coil systems.
What mattress do consumer reports recommend?
Consumer Reports ratings change yearly, but hybrid mattresses consistently score well for their balance of support and comfort. They recommend testing mattresses in person when possible and taking advantage of trial periods.
What is the best mattress recommended by doctors?
Most physicians recommend medium-firm mattresses for general spinal health, though individual needs vary. The key factors doctors emphasize are proper spinal alignment, adequate support for your body weight, and pressure relief at hips and shoulders.
What is the life expectancy of a mattress in a box?
Most bed-in-a-box mattresses last 5-7 years, shorter than traditional hybrids (8-10 years). All-foam designs compress over time, especially budget options with lower-density foams. Check the foam density ratings before buying.
