Snowdown Mattress Factory is one of Toronto's best-kept secrets in the mattress industry. While most Canadians are familiar with online brands like Endy and Douglas, Snowdown has been quietly manufacturing mattresses in Scarborough for decades, selling them at prices that undercut almost every competitor in the GTA.
If you live in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, or anywhere else in the Greater Toronto Area, Snowdown is worth investigating. This guide covers exactly where to find them, what to expect, and whether the factory-direct savings justify the trip.
Snowdown Factory Location and Hours
Snowdown's factory and showroom are located in the Morningside Heights industrial area of Scarborough, near the intersection of Morningside Avenue and Highway 401.
Snowdown Mattress Factory Details
- Address: 10 Melford Drive, Unit 12, Scarborough, ON M1B 2G1

The factory is in an industrial plaza, so do not expect a polished retail environment. This is a working factory with a showroom attached. Mattresses are displayed in a no-frills setting where you can try them and order directly. What you give up in ambiance, you gain in pricing. There is no retail markup because there is no retail storefront overhead.
Dorothy, Sleep Specialist: “Snowdown mattresses use a pocketed coil system that isolates motion well for couples. If you are a side sleeper, look for the plush models with at least two inches of comfort foam above the coils - that is what prevents shoulder and hip pressure points.”
Getting to the Factory
By car from downtown Toronto: Take the DVP north to Highway 401 East. Exit at Morningside Avenue and head south. Melford Drive is on the east side, in the industrial area between Morningside and Milner Avenue. The drive takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic.
By car from Mississauga: Take Highway 401 East across the city. Exit at Morningside Avenue. Approximately 45 to 60 minutes depending on time of day.
By transit: The factory is accessible via TTC, though it requires a bus transfer. Take the Scarborough RT (or its bus replacement) to the Scarborough Centre area, then transfer to a bus serving the Morningside/Milner area. A car is recommended for mattress pickup.
How to Buy from the Snowdown Factory
Buying directly from the factory is straightforward, but there are a few things to know before you go.
Step 1: Visit and Try
Walk in during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM). No appointment needed. The showroom has display models you can lie on. Staff can explain the differences between models, firmness levels, and construction types.
Talia, Showroom Specialist: “I always tell Toronto customers to spend at least ten minutes lying on each mattress in their natural sleep position. You cannot judge a mattress by sitting on the edge for thirty seconds. Lie down, close your eyes, and see how your body responds.”
Step 2: Choose Your Model and Size
Snowdown offers 37 models across foam, innerspring, pocket coil, memory foam, and hybrid categories. Sizes range from single/twin to king. Most models are available in all four standard sizes.
Step 3: Order and Payment
Place your order at the factory. Turnaround time is typically 5 or more business days for production and preparation. Popular models may be available sooner if they are in stock.
Step 4: Pickup or Delivery
Most buyers pick up their mattress from the factory. If you need delivery, discuss options with the factory staff. Delivery availability and costs vary. You will need a vehicle large enough to transport the mattress (SUV, van, or truck) if you are picking up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy a Snowdown mattress in the Toronto area?
Snowdown mattresses are available through select Ontario retailers. Mattress Miracle in Brantford carries a range of Canadian-made mattresses including comparable pocket coil and hybrid models. Visit our showroom or call (519) 770-0001 for current availability.
What firmness level should I choose in a Snowdown mattress?
Firmness depends on your sleep position and body weight. Side sleepers generally do best with medium to medium-soft, back sleepers with medium-firm, and stomach sleepers with firm. If you weigh over 200 pounds, go one firmness level firmer than the general recommendation.
How long does a Snowdown mattress typically last?
A quality pocketed coil mattress like Snowdown typically lasts 8 to 10 years with proper care. Rotate the mattress 180 degrees every three months for the first year, then every six months after that. Using a waterproof mattress protector also extends lifespan.
