Quick Answer: West Brant Heights townhomes by Lindvest typically have master bedrooms suited for a Queen mattress (60 x 80 inches), while larger single detached units in the development can comfortably accommodate a King (76 x 80 inches). Always measure your specific room after possession because unit configurations vary, and staircase clearance in townhomes affects which mattress can be delivered to upper-floor bedrooms.

West Brant Heights is one of the larger new residential developments currently coming to Brantford. Built by Lindvest at 346 Shellard Lane in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, the community offers both freehold townhomes and single-family detached homes ranging from approximately 1,538 to over 3,000 square feet.
Whether you chose a townhome for the price point or a detached home for the space, you are buying into a new home and making decisions about furniture before possession in many cases. The mattress question is worth thinking through carefully before move-in rather than after, particularly because townhome configurations create specific delivery logistics that detached homes do not.
West Brant Heights: What Lindvest Is Building
The Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood Context
West Brant Heights sits in the Mount Pleasant area in Brantford's west end, a neighbourhood that has been steadily developing with family-oriented residential housing. The Lindvest development at 346 Shellard Lane brings a mix of townhome and single-family product to a growing part of the city. Priced from approximately $757,900 to $1,284,900, these are family homes for buyers who have made a meaningful investment in a new construction property. Getting the mattress right from day one is worth a few hours of planning. We have helped families from Brantford's newer north and west-end communities get set up since those areas started building out, and the Mount Pleasant buyers we meet typically care more about getting it right than getting it fast.
West Brant Heights offers an important distinction from a mattress planning perspective: townhomes and single detached homes have meaningfully different bedroom configurations, and the differences affect which mattress size fits comfortably, how delivery works, and what secondary bedrooms can accommodate.
Townhome vs Single Detached Bedroom Sizes
New construction townhomes in Brantford, including those by Lindvest, typically follow Ontario Building Code minimums for bedrooms (9.8 square metres or approximately 105 square feet for any bedroom), but master bedrooms in townhomes generally land in a tighter footprint than detached home masters because the overall building width is constrained by the shared-wall layout.
Typical Bedroom Sizing: Townhome vs Detached
- Townhome master bedroom (interior unit): Typically 10 x 11 to 11 x 12 feet (110 to 132 sq ft). Comfortably fits a Queen with nightstands. King is tight without adjusting the furniture layout
- Townhome master bedroom (end unit): Often 12 x 12 to 12 x 14 feet (144 to 168 sq ft) depending on the plan. King is more feasible in an end unit with good clearance planning
- Single detached master bedroom: In the 2,000 to 3,000+ sq ft range, master bedrooms commonly run 13 x 14 to 15 x 16 feet (182 to 240 sq ft). King fits with room for a full furniture suite
- Secondary bedrooms (all unit types): Typically 10 x 10 to 11 x 11 feet. Designed for Queen or Double. King is generally not practical in secondary bedrooms regardless of unit type
- The flex room question: Many Lindvest townhome and detached plans include a flex room or den on the main floor or loft. These are not designed as primary bedrooms and may not meet OBC bedroom minimums for an egress window. Confirm before purchasing a mattress for one
These are generalised estimates based on typical Ontario production builder townhomes. The specific dimensions for your unit depend on which plan you purchased and whether you selected any upgrades that modified room sizes. Lindvest's sales office can provide as-built room dimensions for your specific plan; request these before possession if you are buying a mattress in advance.
Queen or King: Making the Choice for Your Unit
For townhome buyers, the Queen versus King decision usually comes down to whether you are in an interior or end unit, and how important walking clearance around the bed is to you.
The Clearance Test: Will a King Fit?
A King mattress (76 x 80 inches) needs at least 24 inches of clear walking space on two sides and 24 inches for a nightstand on each side. Total room width required for comfortable King clearance: 76 inches (mattress) + 24 inches (walking) + 24 inches (walking) = 124 inches, or just over 10 feet. A room that is 12 feet wide gives you comfortable clearance plus nightstand space. A room that is 11 feet wide puts you at 56 inches of clearance for both sides combined, which works for one side but leaves the other tight. Measure the width of your master bedroom specifically, accounting for any bay windows, recesses, or closet door swing that reduces usable floor space.
For single detached buyers with masters in the 13 to 15-foot width range, the King question is usually yes. The more interesting question is often about mattress type rather than size.
Our experience with new-build buyers in Brantford is that Queen tends to win in townhomes where the couple plans to use the secondary bedrooms for children or home office. King wins in detached homes where the master is genuinely sized for it, and where buyers feel the larger sleep surface is worth the room it occupies.
Townhome Mattress Delivery: Staircase and Clearance
Townhomes have a specific delivery challenge that detached homes usually do not: a staircase between the entrance and the master bedroom. In a two-or three-storey townhome, the master bedroom is typically on the second floor. The mattress has to go up the stairs.
Staircase Delivery: What to Measure
- Stair width: Measure the clear width of the staircase (not wall to wall, but usable width without baseboards). Standard staircase clear width in new construction is 36 inches. A compressed or stood-upright mattress needs at least 28 inches to pass
- Landing and turn: Most townhome staircases have a landing at the top with a 90-degree turn into the hallway. This is where mattress delivery gets challenging. Measure the landing area and the hallway width at the top of the stairs
- Mattress rigidity: Pocket coil hybrids cannot be bent around tight turns. All-foam mattresses can flex somewhat but should not be compressed around sharp corners, as it can damage the foam. King mattresses (80 inches long) are harder to manoeuvre up standard townhome staircases than Queens (80 inches) or Doubles (75 inches)
- Professional delivery advantage: White glove delivery crews are experienced with these manoeuvres and know how to work a mattress through a tight stair landing without damaging doorframes. Attempting it with two people and a borrowed truck typically does not go well
Single Detached Buyers: More Room, More Options
Detached home buyers at West Brant Heights have more latitude than townhome buyers on almost every dimension of the mattress decision. Larger master bedrooms, no staircase bottleneck in most configurations, and typically a garage or porch access that makes delivery straightforward.
For detached buyers in the upper end of the West Brant Heights range (2,500+ square feet), the master bedroom is often large enough that the mattress choice is genuinely about personal preference and sleep needs rather than room constraints. The questions worth asking are about sleep position, temperature, and whether you or your partner have any pain or pressure point considerations, rather than whether the mattress fits in the room.
Secondary bedrooms in detached homes at this size still tend to be Queen territory. A common pattern: King in the master, Queen in the first secondary room (guests or older child), Full or Queen in the second secondary room (younger child or home office with guest bed). This gives you a practical tier for mattress investment rather than buying Kings across the board.

What mattress size fits a West Brant Heights townhome master bedroom?
Most West Brant Heights townhome master bedrooms comfortably fit a Queen (60 x 80 inches). Interior unit masters run roughly 110 to 132 square feet, which fits a Queen with nightstands and adequate walking clearance. End unit masters may fit a King at 144+ square feet. Measure your specific room after possession before purchasing, and account for the usable floor area after closet doors and furniture.
Can a King mattress be delivered to a second-floor townhome bedroom?
Yes, but it depends on your staircase configuration. A King (76 x 80 inches, 80 inches being the longer dimension) needs to be worked up the stairs and around any landing turns. A professional white glove delivery crew with experience in townhome staircases can manage this in most configurations. Measure the staircase width and landing area and call us before purchasing if you have any doubt.
Should I buy a mattress before or after possession at West Brant Heights?
Our recommendation is to wait until after possession and measuring when possible. New construction possession dates sometimes shift, and the final room dimensions of your unit may differ slightly from plan dimensions. You can come in and test mattresses before possession to know what you want, and we will coordinate white glove delivery around your move-in date.
Does Mattress Miracle deliver to the Mount Pleasant area of Brantford?
Yes. We deliver throughout Brantford including Mount Pleasant and West Brant Heights with white glove delivery. We handle staircase delivery in townhomes, bring shoe covers and floor protection, and remove all packaging. Call (519) 770-0001 to arrange timing around your possession date.
What mattress is best for a West Brant Heights single detached master bedroom?
In a single detached home master of 182 square feet or more, the choice is about sleep preference more than room size. For couples who run warm, a pocket coil hybrid like our Restonic ComfortCare King ($2,051, 1,440 coils) sleeps cool and provides excellent motion isolation. For natural material preference, our Restonic Luxury Silk and Wool is worth the look. Come in with your room dimensions and we will talk through the options without pressure.
