For many Canadians, Simons is a go-to for home decor. Their bedding section is a candy store of patterns, textures, and modern designs. Brantford residents often make the drive to Square One or shop online to get that specific "look."
But what if you want that modern aesthetic and the assurance of specialized sleep knowledge? At Mattress Miracle, we admire the Simons aesthetic, but we also know that a sheet needs to do more than look good, it needs to fit, wash, and last.
Browse the full range at our family-owned Brantford store.
The "Simons Look"
Simons is famous for:
- Eclectic Prints: Bold florals, geometric shapes, and artistic designs.
- Texture: Washed linen, waffle cotton, and velvet accents.
- Seasonal Rotation: Their collections change rapidly with fashion trends.
If you love this vibe, you don't always have to drive to Mississauga. We carry brands like Alamode and Brunelli right here in Brantford that offer very similar fashion-forward designs but with a focus on premium textile quality.
Fashion Bedding vs. Specialty Bedding
The "Fast Fashion" of Sheets
Some mass-market bedding brands prioritize the print over the weave. You might find a beautiful pattern printed on a low-thread-count or synthetic fabric that pills after a few months.
The Specialty Difference: In our showroom, we prioritize the "greige goods" (the raw fabric) first. We ensure the cotton is long-staple and the weave is tight before looking at the pattern. This ensures your beautiful sheets stay beautiful.
Local Alternatives in Brantford
Why shop locally?
- Feel Before You Buy: You can touch the fabrics. Pictures online can be deceiving.
- Expert Advice: We can tell you exactly which sheet will fit your 16-inch deep pillow-top mattress (a common issue with standard retail sheets).
- No Shipping Fees/Returns: If it's not right, we're right down the street on West Road.
Material Breakdown
Whether you shop at Simons or Mattress Miracle, know what you are buying:
Percale: The crisp, cool hotel feel. Look for 200+ thread count.
Bamboo/Rayon: The ultimate cooling fabric. Silky and heavy.
Linen: The trendy, wrinkled, breathable choice. Look for European Flax.
Polyester/Microfiber: Often labeled as "easy care." Cheap, but sleeps hot. We recommend avoiding this for your primary bed.
The Fit Factor
The #1 complaint we hear about department store sheets? "They pop off the corners." Mass-market sheets often have 12-inch pockets. Modern mattresses need 15-18 inch pockets. Our sheets are specifically curated to fit the mattresses we sell, deep, secure, and elasticized all the way around.

Does Mattress Miracle carry patterned sheets?
Yes! While we stock plenty of classic whites and greys, we also carry rotating seasonal prints from Canadian suppliers like Alamode.
Are expensive sheets worth it?
Generally, yes. Cheap sheets tear and pill. A quality set of cotton or bamboo sheets costs more upfront but lasts years longer, offering a lower "cost per sleep."
What is the return policy on bedding?
Due to hygiene regulations, opened bedding usually cannot be returned at most retailers. This is why shopping in-person to feel the fabric before buying is so valuable.
Do you have bamboo sheets like Simons?
Yes, we carry high-quality 100% Rayon from Bamboo sheets that rival or exceed the softness of department store brands.
