Buying a Mattress in Canada, without the sales pitch.

Every brand calls itself the best. Every mattress claims to be cooling, supportive, and an industry leader. We have sold mattresses in Brantford since 1987 and the actual decision comes down to four questions: what size, what firmness, what material, and what warranty. This guide answers all four in plain English.

How do I pick a mattress firmness?
Back sleepers and heavier bodies generally do best on medium-firm to firm. Side sleepers usually want medium to medium-soft to relieve shoulder and hip pressure. Stomach sleepers need firm support to avoid spine sag. Lie on each option for at least 10 minutes in our Brantford showroom before deciding.
What mattress size do I need?
Twin (38 x 75 in) for single sleepers or kids. Double or full (54 x 75 in) for compact rooms or single adults. Queen (60 x 80 in) is the most popular for couples. King (76 x 80 in) gives each person a twin-XL of space. California king (72 x 84 in) is longer and narrower for tall sleepers.
Memory foam vs hybrid vs latex: which is best?
Memory foam contours and isolates motion but sleeps warm. Hybrid combines pocket coils with foam — supportive and cooler than pure foam. Latex is bouncier than foam, naturally cooling, and lasts longest (15-20 years). For most Canadian sleepers, hybrid is the safe middle. Hot sleepers should consider latex.
How long should a mattress last?
A quality mattress lasts 8-12 years. Latex lasts 15-20. Cheap bed-in-a-box foam mattresses sag in 5-7 years. Replace when you wake up sore, see visible body impressions deeper than 1.5 inches, or notice motion transfer that didn't exist when new.
Do you offer free trial periods or warranties?
Yes. Most mattresses we carry come with a 60-90 night sleep trial and 10-25 year warranties. Restonic mattresses include the 80-night Restonic comfort guarantee. Visit our Brantford showroom or call 519-770-0001 to confirm specific brand details before purchase.
Do you offer free delivery on mattresses?
Yes. Free local delivery on mattress orders within Brantford, Paris, St. George, Ayr, and Cambridge. Outside our local zone we ship Canada-wide through specialty mattress carriers. Free online delivery on bedding orders across Canada.
