A First Mattress That Outlasts the Apartment
A first apartment bed has one job: be the thing you do not have to think about for the next ten years. These are the three our advisors actually reach for, in the order most people buy them, with the honest note on when to spend more.

The one we suggest to most first-apartment buyers: firm enough for a back sleeper, forgiving enough for an average-weight side sleeper, at a price that leaves room for sheets and a frame.

- FeelDalton is firm, Albany is plush
- MakerRestonic, Canadian-made

The mattress to buy if this is not really a first-apartment bed but the bed you will still be sleeping on after the mortgage.
See the AlbanyIs this more mattress than you need? Most first apartments do not need more than the Ortho Care. If money is tight, buy the Ortho Care and a $40 delivery instead of a pricier mattress and a cheap frame; the frame is what wobbles first. If you are moving far from Brantford, the Paradise and Cool Breeze ship rolled by courier.
