Quick Answer: Sprout is a natural mattress line handcrafted in Edmonton by Araam Inc., and the only mattress brand currently endorsed by the Canadian Chiropractic Association, announced April 2025 on chiropractic.ca. Mattress Miracle in Brantford carries all six builds: the two-sided Firmus, Durus, and Somnus plus new single-sided versions, with queens from $3,264.
A Sprout mattress is a two-sided or single-sided natural mattress built by Araam Inc. in a 75,000 square foot Edmonton workshop, using wool, cotton, and Dunlop latex (natural rubber foam poured in a dense, springy mould) over pocket coils. In April 2025 the Canadian Chiropractic Association endorsed the Sprout line, and as of mid-2026 no other mattress brand appears on the CCA's endorsement list. Mattress Miracle brought the full line to Brantford in July 2026, and it now sits on our floor beside Restonic and Sleep In, where you can compare all three the same afternoon.
"The first thing people ask about Sprout is the endorsement, but the thing that sells it is the flip. Most people under 50 have never owned a mattress you can turn over. When I show them both faces of the Durus and explain the wear spreads across two surfaces instead of one, the value question answers itself."
Brad Grose, founder, Mattress Miracle, family owned in Brantford since 1997, with 40+ years in the mattress industry
The endorsement itself is worth understanding before the specs. The Canadian Chiropractic Association is the national association representing more than 8,000 licensed chiropractors. On April 10, 2025 it endorsed the Sprout line of mattresses and sleep products, citing the 7.3 million Canadians who live with chronic pain. Endorsements like this are rare, which is exactly why the label on a Sprout mattress carries weight.

Why Did the Canadian Chiropractic Association Endorse Sprout?
The Canadian Chiropractic Association endorsed Sprout in April 2025 after reviewing the line's construction: two-sided builds, zoned pocket coil support, and natural materials that hold their shape. The CCA's announcement, signed by CEO Dr. Ayla Azad, framed the decision around chronic pain, which affects 7.3 million Canadians. A sagging or unsupportive sleep surface is one of the few pain factors a person can actually change.
The research behind that thinking is consistent. Radwan et al., 2015, in Sleep Health (doi.org/10.1016/j.sleh.2015.08.001), found that mattress support quality significantly affects sleep quality and reported back pain. Caggiari et al., 2021, in the Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (doi.org/10.1186/s10195-021-00616-5), reviewed the literature and found medium-firm mattresses best for nonspecific low back pain.
What the Research Says About Firmness
Research suggests medium-firm support suits most backs, but body weight and sleep position shift the answer. Studies indicate heavier sleepers need firmer cores to stay level, while side sleepers need enough give at the shoulder. This is general information, not medical advice. If you manage chronic pain, talk to your chiropractor or doctor about what suits your spine.
One honest caveat we give every customer at Mattress Miracle: an endorsement narrows the shortlist, it does not replace lying on the bed. Ten minutes on all three firmnesses tells you more than any logo.
The Sprout Comfort Scale: Six Mattresses, One Recipe
The Sprout comfort scale runs from one to six, softest to firmest. Every mattress shares the same recipe of natural materials over pocket coils, so the scale is really about how much push-back you feel. The two-sided builds sit at positions one, three, and five. Each single-sided version lands one step firmer than its two-sided sibling.
| Scale | Model | Build | Feel | Queen MSRP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Somnus | Two-sided | Soft, body-hugging | $6,658 |
| 2 | Somnus Single-Sided | Single-sided | Soft, slightly firmer | $4,166 |
| 3 | Durus | Two-sided | Medium-firm, balanced | $5,732 |
| 4 | Durus Single-Sided | Single-sided | Medium-firm, more support | $4,050 |
| 5 | Firmus | Two-sided | Firm | $4,883 |
| 6 | Firmus Single-Sided | Single-sided | Firmest, maximum support | $3,264 |
"On our floor the pattern is clear. Side sleepers gravitate to the Somnus builds, back and combination sleepers settle on a Durus, and stomach sleepers or anyone over about 230 pounds does better on a Firmus. The single-sided versions help people who loved the feel but not the two-sided price."

Two-Sided vs Single-Sided Sprout Mattresses
A two-sided Sprout mattress has finished comfort layers on both faces. You flip it and rotate it through the year, the wear spreads across two surfaces, and the mattress ages more evenly. It is how most mattresses were built forty years ago, before single-sided construction took over the industry.
A single-sided Sprout has its comfort layers on one face only. There is no flipping, just an occasional rotation, and the simpler build costs less: the single-sided Firmus queen is $3,264 against $4,883 for the two-sided version. Sprout tunes each single-sided model slightly firmer than its sibling, so the single-sided Somnus actually sits between the two-sided Somnus and Durus in feel.
Which one should you buy? If you want the longest, most even wear and do not mind flipping a heavy natural mattress twice a year, the two-sided build is the stronger long-term value. If you want the CCA-endorsed construction at the most accessible price, or you simply will not flip a mattress (be honest), the single-sided trio was made for you.
Natural Materials and Construction
Sprout construction starts with pocket coils, which are springs wrapped individually in fabric so each one moves on its own. The two-sided Firmus zones its coil core with thicker 13-gauge wire through the lumbar area (lower numbers mean thicker, firmer wire), while the Somnus runs thinner 16-gauge coils for a softer landing. Above the coils sit layers of wool, cotton, and Dunlop latex.
The covers are herringbone-weave cotton, hand-tufted with wool rosettes. Hand-tufting means a needle pulls a tape through the full mattress and locks the layers in place, so the natural fills cannot shift or bunch over years of use. King sizes offer a Zip n' Link option that arrives as two halves and zips together, which makes stairs and tight hallways far less dramatic on delivery day.
Every build needs a solid, even foundation to keep its 10-year warranty, and Sprout makes three: a 7-inch slat box, a low-profile box, and a full-flex box spring, all in hardwood from sustainable Canadian forests. Araam builds one other line in the same Edmonton workshop, the Hypnos luxury collection, if hand-tufted goes to a whole other level for you.
Trying Sprout in Brantford
Mattress Miracle is the place to lie on a Sprout mattress in this part of Ontario.

Dealer coverage matters with this brand.

White glove delivery covers Brantford and the surrounding area, with extended delivery to Hamilton, Cambridge, and Kitchener-Waterloo. We set the mattress up, take the packaging, and remove your old mattress with purchase. Every Sprout mattress carries our 60-day comfort guarantee, so a wrong guess on firmness is a swap, not a regret. Online orders can use Shop Pay instalments.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sprout really the only mattress endorsed by the Canadian Chiropractic Association?
As of mid-2026, yes. The CCA's public endorsement list at chiropractic.ca shows Sprout as the only mattress brand it currently endorses, announced April 10, 2025. Endorsements can change over time, which is why we say "currently" and link the source rather than treating it as permanent.
How much does a Sprout mattress cost in Canada?
At 2026 MSRP a queen runs from $3,264 for the single-sided Firmus to $6,658 for the two-sided Somnus. Singles start at $2,408. Mattress Miracle carries all six builds at those list prices, and King Zip n' Link versions are available on the two-sided models.
What is the difference between the Sprout Durus and Somnus?
Feel and coil gauge. The Somnus uses thinner 16-gauge coils with a taller comfort stack, so it cradles side sleepers. The Durus runs 15-gauge coils for a balanced medium-firm feel that suits back and combination sleepers. Both come in two-sided and single-sided builds.
Do Sprout mattresses need a special foundation?
They need a solid, even surface to keep the 10-year warranty valid. Sprout's own slat box, low-profile box, and full-flex box spring are all built for the job in Canadian hardwood, and a rigid platform bed works too. A sagging old box spring is the one thing to avoid.
Where can I try a Sprout mattress near Hamilton or Paris, Ontario?
Mattress Miracle at 441 1/2 West Street in Brantford has the full line on the floor, about 25 minutes from Hamilton and 10 from Paris. Come lie on all three firmnesses; call (519) 770-0001 first if you want to confirm a specific model is out for testing.
