What the Glacier Peyto Is
The Restonit Glacier Peyto is a rolled hybrid mattress made by Restonit, a Canadian brand that specialises in adjustable-base-compatible mattresses. It is named after the Peyto Glacier in Banff National Park, which is a nice touch but does not affect the mattress.
The Glacier Peyto ships compressed and rolled in a box. This matters for two reasons: it can be delivered via standard courier to any Canadian postal code (including Alberta, BC, and rural addresses that flat mattress delivery services struggle to reach), and it can be carried through condo hallways, up staircases, and into elevators that would not accommodate a full-size flat mattress.
It is important to distinguish Restonit from Restonic. These are different brands with different products. Restonic is a premium innerspring manufacturer; the ComfortCare queen at $1,125 with 1,222 coils is a traditional flat-delivery mattress. Restonit is a rolled-delivery brand designed for adjustable bases and flexible shipping. We carry both. They serve different needs.

The Canadian steel coils are worth noting. The coil wire is sourced and manufactured in Canada, which gives the coil system known provenance and quality standards. Pocketed coils (individually wrapped) mean each coil compresses independently, which is what enables both motion isolation and the flexibility needed for an adjustable base.
The Vitafoam comfort layers are produced in Ontario. Vitafoam is a recognised Canadian foam manufacturer, not an obscure private-label supplier. The foam quality is consistent and verifiable.
Adjustable Base Performance
This is the Glacier Peyto's primary design intent. Traditional innerspring mattresses with connected (Bonnell) coil systems resist bending. When placed on an adjustable base, they either do not flex properly or develop internal damage over time. The Glacier Peyto's pocketed coil system is designed to flex along the base's hinge points without compromising the coil structure.
How Adjustable Compatibility Works
An adjustable base bends the mattress at two primary points: the head hinge (typically around the shoulder/upper back area) and the foot hinge (around the knee area). A compatible mattress needs to flex at these points without the coils buckling, the foam layers separating, or the mattress losing its return-to-flat shape.
The Glacier Peyto achieves this through the combination of individually wrapped coils (which can compress and extend independently) and foam layers that are bonded but flexible. After returning to the flat position, the mattress recovers its original profile without permanent deformation.
For buyers pairing with our adjustable bases, these are the natural combinations:
- SleepBeat SE1005 ($995) + Glacier Peyto queen ($1,045) = $2,040
- Affordable Adjustable Bed ($1,100) + Glacier Peyto queen ($1,045) = $2,145
- Deluxe Adjustable Bed ($1,350) + Glacier Peyto queen ($1,045) = $2,395
Who This Mattress Is For
Adjustable bed owners. This is the primary use case. If you have or are buying an adjustable base, the Glacier Peyto is designed for that setup. It flexes properly, recovers its shape, and is priced to pair reasonably with the base.
Buyers in difficult-delivery locations. If you live in a condo high-rise, a walkup apartment, or a rural area where flat mattress delivery is expensive or impractical, the rolled format solves a real problem. The box is approximately 20 x 20 x 60 inches and weighs under 80 lbs depending on the size.
Alberta, BC, and remote-province buyers. Shipping a flat queen mattress from Ontario to Alberta costs significantly more than shipping a rolled mattress via courier. The Glacier Peyto's rolled format makes cross-Canada delivery practical at a reasonable shipping cost.
Talia, Showroom Specialist: "The Glacier Peyto is the mattress I recommend when someone in Alberta or BC asks what we can ship to them that works with an adjustable base. The combination of adjustable compatibility, rolled delivery, and Canadian coils makes it a practical answer to a specific problem. It is not trying to be a luxury mattress. It is trying to be the right mattress for the right situation."

Who Should Look Elsewhere
Honesty requires noting who the Glacier Peyto is not ideal for.
Buyers who want the highest coil count. The Restonic ComfortCare queen at $1,125 carries 1,222 coils versus the Glacier Peyto's lower coil count. If maximum coil density is your priority and you do not need adjustable base compatibility, the ComfortCare is the better product at a similar price.
Buyers who prefer very soft or very firm. The Glacier Peyto runs medium-firm. If you know you need a soft mattress or an extra-firm mattress, this is not the right model. The Sleep In Victoria ($720) is softer. The High Density Firm ($690) is firmer.
Buyers who prefer a flippable mattress. The Glacier Peyto is single-sided. For a flippable option, the Dream Catcher Flippable ($750) or Whitney Flippable ($810) offer two firmness profiles, though they are not adjustable-base compatible.
Glacier Peyto vs. Alternatives
| Model | Price (Queen) | Adjustable Compatible | Ships Rolled | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restonit Borealis Gel | $585 | Yes | Yes | Budget adjustable base pairing |
| Glacier Peyto | $1,045 | Yes | Yes | Mid-range adjustable base pairing |
| Cloud Vapor Copper Gel | $1,400 | Yes | Yes | Premium adjustable base pairing |
| Restonic ComfortCare | $1,125 | No | No | Maximum coil count on a flat base |
| Dream Catcher Flippable | $750 | No | No | Flippable dual-sided on a flat base |
The Glacier Peyto sits in the middle of the adjustable-compatible Restonit range. The Borealis Gel at $585 is the budget alternative if price is the priority. The Cloud Vapor Copper Gel at $1,400 is the premium alternative with a 14-inch luxury profile and copper-infused gel foam.

Is the Restonit Glacier Peyto a good mattress?
It is a solid mid-range hybrid designed for adjustable bases and shipped delivery. At $1,045 for a queen, it sits in the value-to-mid range. It is particularly well-suited for buyers who need adjustable compatibility or who are in locations where flat mattress delivery is difficult.
How long does the Glacier Peyto take to expand?
Approximately 90% expansion within 4-6 hours. Full expansion to stated height takes 24-48 hours. The mattress is usable within a few hours. Open it in the room where it will be used, as it becomes heavy once expanded.
Can the Glacier Peyto go on an adjustable bed?
Yes. It is specifically designed for adjustable base use. The pocketed coil system and flexible comfort layers allow proper bending without internal damage.
What is the difference between Restonit and Restonic?
Two separate brands. Restonic is premium innerspring (ComfortCare, Revive lines). Restonit is rolled-delivery mattresses designed for adjustable bases. Different construction, prices, and use cases. Both available at Mattress Miracle.
