Bed Frames That Last Decades
After 38 years in Brantford, I've learned that bed frames are either built to last 20+ years or they're disposable furniture that breaks in 3-5 years. We stock Canadian-made solid wood frames ($400-$1,899), quality metal frames ($179-$499), and upholstered storage beds ($900-$2,800). The price difference reflects construction quality and actual longevity.
Platform beds eliminate the need for box springs, saving you $350-$550. They require slats spaced no more than 3-4 inches apart to support memory foam or hybrid mattresses properly. Storage beds with hydraulic lift mechanisms ($1,200-$2,800) maximize bedroom space,the hydraulic assist makes lifting a king mattress effortless. Drawer storage beds ($900-$1,899) work better in rooms where you can't lift the mattress due to low ceilings or wall-mounted art.

Choosing the Right Frame for Your Mattress
Traditional innerspring mattresses typically require box springs for warranty coverage,check your mattress warranty before buying a platform bed. Memory foam, hybrid, and latex mattresses work perfectly on platform beds with proper slat support. Adjustable bed bases ($899-$2,499) only work with flexible mattresses,memory foam, latex, and some hybrids. Never use an innerspring mattress on an adjustable base.
Queen frames are our biggest sellers (60" × 80"). King frames (76" × 80") won't fit through standard 32-inch doorways fully assembled,they need to be assembled in the bedroom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Brad, Owner (since 1997): "Snowdown is not a glamorous brand but it does one thing very well: it makes genuinely firm mattresses. In an industry where "firm" often means medium, Snowdown stands out for being exactly what it says it is. I trust it completely for the customers who genuinely need that level of support."

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of mattresses does Snowdown make?
Snowdown focuses on firm-support mattress construction. Their product line is built around delivering consistent, honest firmness ratings using high-density foam and durable coil systems. Snowdown is not a brand that tries to be everything to everyone; they specialise in the firm and extra-firm segment of the market.
Who is a Snowdown mattress best suited for?
Snowdown mattresses are best suited for stomach sleepers who need maximum hip support, back sleepers with lower back pain who require firm lumbar contact, and heavier individuals (over 200 lbs) who compress standard "firm" mattresses too deeply to get adequate support. They are not the best choice for side sleepers seeking pressure relief.
How does Snowdown firmness compare to other brands at Mattress Miracle?
Snowdown occupies the firmest end of our firmness spectrum. Restonic ComfortCare models range from plush to firm, and Sleep In flippable mattresses cover a range of comfort levels. When a customer specifically needs genuine firm or extra-firm support, Snowdown is the brand we direct them to.
Are Snowdown mattresses available in all sizes?
Snowdown mattresses are available in standard sizes including twin, double, queen, and king. Current stock can vary, so we recommend visiting our Brantford showroom at 441½ West Street or calling (519) 770-0001 to confirm what is on the floor.
