Ready to upgrade your sleep this year? We’ve researched top mattress brands like Silk & Snow, Casper, and more in Canada to find the best value options for every sleep position and preference.
Everybody loves a good sleep at night, and most of us have found that one bed that feels like no other. Sometimes it’s a guest bed at someone else’s house, and sometimes it’s our forever bed that we’ve had for 25 years. But no mattress can really last forever, and it might feel like you’ll never find a replacement that’s as comfy as the one you’re replacing.
Mattresses have come a long way though, and there’s one out there that will help you get the greatest sleep of your life. No matter what type of mattress you’re replacing, we guarantee you’ll be able to find a new one that feels like home to you.
Being ready to buy a new mattress and knowing how to choose one are not the same things, though. Although they look simple on the outside, there are a lot of features that set them apart from each other. Mattress thickness, material, type (hybrid vs. foam vs. spring), price… there are lots of things to think about!
This comprehensive guide will investigate the best mattresses in Canada right now and outline the criteria you should consider while making your purchase decision. Let’s dive right into our top five products.

Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Review
What We Think of the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress
With a combination of high-density memory foam and high-quality pocketed coils, the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress does a great job of supporting your body weight where it needs to without sacrificing your comfort. Pretty important, right? The well-thought-out zoned support makes sure that your joints are cushioned, your weight-bearing sections are well-supported, and you are comfortable without sinking into the foam.
Since the coils are all pocketed individually, this hybrid mattress does a better job of stopping motion transfer than most. If your partner is restless at night, they won’t disrupt your sleep anymore! You’ll also be happy if you’re a hot sleeper since the foam is infused with cooling gel. Throw in an antimicrobial cover and you’ve got a nearly flawless mattress!
We only have one low point to mention for this one. As with most non-organic mattresses, you’ll need to let it rest for a few days to let the off-gassing process take place. Don’t get rid of your old mattress too soon!

What Reviewers Are Saying About the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress
Reviewers have a great opinion of the Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress. It’s great for couples because the pocketed coils do a great job of eliminating motion transfer, and it’s also great for hot sleepers because its memory foam is infused with cooling gel. It’s also got excellent edge support so they don’t slip when they sit on the edge, and it’s got a perfect balance of support and comfort.
Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Pros and Cons
Buy If...
- You tend to sleep hot and want a cooling gel-infused memory foam for added comfort.
- You need a mattress that minimizes motion transfer, perfect for couples or restless sleepers.
- You want zoned support for proper spinal alignment, pressure relief, and reinforced edges.
- You prefer an antimicrobial cover for a cleaner sleep environment.
Don't Buy If...
- You don’t want to wait a few days for the mattress to air out after unboxing due to off-gassing.

Our Runner Up Pick
Endy Hybrid Mattress Review
What We Think of the Endy Hybrid Mattress
There are a lot of things to love about the Endy Hybrid Mattress. One of the things we like best is the fact that it’s made in Canada with locally sourced, sustainable materials. That makes the decision easier, doesn’t it? It uses breathable foam to keep the air moving through the mattress all night, too, so you won’t have to worry about your mattress becoming musty over time.
Since that breathable foam is paired with high-carbon steel coils, this mattress is able to offer the ideal blend between zoned support for your spine and soft pressure-relieving comfort for your joints. You’ll never wake up sore. This mattress’s main claim to fame is its motion isolation — if you sleep with a partner, you’ll never feel them moving around. Say hello to undisturbed sleep!
The main downside of choosing this mattress will be pretty evident if you tend to overheat at night. Since the only cooling feature built into this mattress is a breathable foam, there aren’t any active technologies working to help you stay cool. If you struggle to maintain a steady temperature at night, it might be best to consider other options.
All in all, the Endy Hybrid Mattress is an easy favourite for us this year. We love a Canadian-made mattress, and since it offers most of the features you might be looking for, there aren’t many reasons to keep hunting. We think you’ll love this one!

What Reviewers Are Saying About the Endy Hybrid Mattress
Reviewers are very happy with the Endy Hybrid Mattress. Everyone who sleeps with a partner has noticed a big improvement in motion isolation with this mattress, and it’s comfortable for all sleeping positions. They don’t wake up with sore backs, and most people find it is great for not overheating. They’d recommend it to others.
Endy Hybrid Mattress Pros and Cons
Buy If…
You love to support Canadian brands
Motion isolation is a priority
A breathable mattress would be nice
You’re after a supportive, zoned mattress
Don’t Buy If…
You tend to overheat quite a bit at night

Our Upgrade Pick
Casper Wave Hybrid Snow Mattress Review
What We Think of the Casper Wave Hybrid Snow Mattress
We like everything the Casper Wave Hybrid Snow Mattress has to offer. One of our favourite features is the edge support. If you’re an edge sleeper, like to sit on the bed to get ready in the morning, or have trouble getting in and out of bed due to mobility concerns, this edge support will feel miraculous. It’s that good. Since it’s 14” high, you won’t even need a box spring!
One of the other awesome things about this option is the cooling ability. This mattress combines a long list of cooling technologies (such as a QuickCool cover and HeatDelete bands) to make sure overheating at night is a thing of the past. With intelligent support zones that optimize spinal alignment and pressure relief, your comfort won’t be in question, either.
There are only two minor reasons this mattress might not feel like your perfect fit. First of all, it isn’t offered in a twin size. If you’re shopping for a kid’s room or a smaller space, you’ll have to make do with a twin XL or choose a different mattress altogether. Also, this is one of the most expensive mattresses you’ll come across, so if a budget is limiting your spending, it won’t be a good option.
All in all, the Casper Wave Hybrid Snow Mattress is a one-of-a-kind blend of sophisticated cooling technologies, perfectly zoned support, and a height that will make a box spring obsolete. No matter what your must-haves are for a mattress, we can almost guarantee this one will meet your needs.

What Reviewers Are Saying About the Casper Wave Hybrid Snow Mattress
Reviewers are very impressed by the Casper Wave Hybrid Snow Mattress. The cooling technologies are incredibly effective, the edge support is very reliable, and they’ve been able to say goodbye to most of their aches and pains after a few nights on this mattress. They all agree it’s worth the higher price tag.
Casper Wave Hybrid Snow Mattress Pros and Cons

You get hot when you sleep
A tall mattress appeals to you
You’re looking for zoned support for pressure relief
Edge support is important to you

Our Latex Pick
Silk & Snow Organic Mattress Review
What We Think of the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress
We really like the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress. It’s got a lot going for it. Its main claim to fame, though, is how supportive it is. The pocket coils do an amazing job of supporting the upper latex layers, so it’s an awesome choice for heavier sleepers or folks who want a super long-lasting mattress. There’s extra edge support, too, so it won’t cave in when you sit on it. No one needs to end up on the floor, right?
Since it’s made only with organic materials (latex, cotton, and wool), it’ll be free of that icky chemical smell and is an eco-friendly choice. Plus, the wool will act as a natural fire retardant, so you don’t have to worry about any hazards.
Now for the part we all hate—the stuff we aren’t as happy with. Since this is a hybrid mattress, it doesn’t do the greatest job of isolating motion. It works to an extent, but it isn’t as effective as full-foam mattresses.
We also want to give you a heads-up that this is a firmer mattress, so it won’t be a comfortable choice for everybody. It really depends on your personal preferences.

What Reviewers Are Saying About the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress
Reviewers have mostly great things to say about the Silk & Snow Organic Mattress. Most people love the firmness level, but for some, it’s too firm for comfort. The main issue that popped up was being able to feel the coils after a while. People were really happy to find a completely organic mattress, and the support—especially on the edges—is something they’re really grateful for.
Silk & Snow Organic Mattress Pros and Cons
Buy If...
- You want an environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic mattress made from organic materials.
- You prefer wool as a natural fire retardant instead of synthetic chemicals.
- You need full-mattress support from pocket coils.
- You want a firm and responsive mattress that stays durable for decades, ideal for heavier sleepers.
Don't Buy If...
- You prefer a softer mattress.
- You need better motion isolation.

Our Cooling Pick
Casper Snow Mattress Review
What We Think of the Casper Snow Mattress
We are so excited to share the Casper Snow Mattress with you. Of course, as our cooling pick, its cooling capabilities are top-notch. With AirScape technology, HeatDelete bands, a QuickCool cover, and more, this mattress is the absolute best at pulling heat away from your body and keeping it gone. Its superb edge support means you won’t sink while you’re getting in and out of bed or literally sleeping on the edge. Perfect.
This mattress will still be a great option if you’re more concerned about spinal support and pressure relief. As a hybrid mattress, this one can provide support where you need it most without affecting the soft cushioning that screams comfort. You won’t wake up with aches and pains after a night on this mattress, that’s for sure.
Unfortunately, there are a couple of reasons why this mattress might not be right for you. It doesn’t have the most approachable price tag, so if you’re shopping on a budget, this one might cost a bit too much. Otherwise, the lack of dedicated motion isolation technologies might result in some interrupted sleep if you or your partner (or your pets) are restless at night.
All in all, the Casper Snow Mattress is our favourite this year for people who have trouble regulating their body temperature while they’re asleep. You can say goodbye to night sweats and interrupted sleep with this one. It’s also just supremely comfortable. What a winner!

What Reviewers Are Saying About the Casper Snow Mattress
Reviewers have great things to say about the Casper Snow Mattress. Since switching to this mattress, their night sweats have almost completely disappeared, and so have most (if not all) of their aches and pains. The edge support is a great addition, and they’re very happy with the mid-level firmness. Some of them have already purchased additional mattresses for guest rooms.
Casper Snow Mattress Pros and Cons
Buy If…
You always overheat while you’re asleep
You need a mattress that can assist with spinal alignment
You appreciate a balanced blend of comfort and support
You don’t want edges that sink

Our Budget Pick
Polysleep Sierra Mattress Review
What We Think of the Polysleep Sierra Mattress
We like a lot of things about the Polysleep Sierra Mattress. Since this is an antimicrobial mattress, it’s the ideal choice for people with allergies — your bed won’t become a home to any of the things that make your symptoms worse. And of course, as our budget pick, the price (even in the larger sizes) will blow you away — it’s one of the most affordable mattresses out there right now.
As a Canadian-made option, you can also feel good about your purchase since you’ll be supporting a Canadian company and locally sourced materials. It combines a dense Polysleep foam as a base layer with a softer open-cell hybrid foam on top for total comfort. Since both foam types are viscoelastic, the motion isolation is top-notch. Restless partners or pets won’t be keeping you up any longer.
There are a few things we’d change about this mattress if we could. Its size selection is pretty narrow, so if you’re looking for a twin XL or a California king, you’ll be out of luck here. It’s also fairly thin at only 9”, so you might need an extra-tall box spring if you like to climb up into bed. Lastly, the poorer longevity of this one might be a concern for you. It’s only under warranty for five years and will need replacement sooner than thicker/hybrid mattresses.
Overall, the Polysleep Sierra Mattress is our favourite option for shoppers on a budget. It doesn’t provide the same longevity or size selection as other mattresses, but with effective motion isolation, an out-of-this-world price tag, and a super comfortable feel, it still has a lot to offer.
Performance: 4.5/5
Usability: 4.5/5

What Reviewers Are Saying About the Polysleep Sierra Mattress
Reviewers have mostly great things to say about the Polysleep Sierra Mattress. For foam mattress skeptics, this mattress has convinced them that all-foam mattresses can be spectacular to sleep on. The motion isolation is very effective, people with allergies have noticed some relief from their nightly symptoms, and the price was right for everybody.
Polysleep Sierra Mattress Pros and Cons
Buy If…
You suffer from allergies
You want to spend as little as possible on a quality mattress
You rely on motion isolation for a good sleep at night
You want a mattress that’s made in Canada
Don’t Buy If…
You prefer a thicker mattress
You need a twin XL or California king
You don’t want to shop for a new mattress for at least a decade

How to Properly Choose Your Mattress
Price
Some mattresses will cost less than $700, even for the largest sizes, whereas others will cost upwards of $4,500. The larger the mattress is, the more it will cost, but there’s a lot more involved than that. More expensive mattresses will have more advanced materials, unique technologies for breathability, and more sophisticated layering of materials.
Type (Foam vs. Springs vs. Hybrid)
Some mattresses are made only of foam, others are mostly springs with a thin layer of foam, and others still are hybrids that have a more equal amount of foam and coils. Spring mattresses will be the firmest and longest-lasting, and foam mattresses will be the softest but also have the shortest lifespan. Predictably, hybrids will fall somewhere in between.
Thickness
The thickness of a mattress will usually be 12 or 13 inches, but some mattresses are as thin as 6 inches. There are other options in between too. Generally, a thicker mattress will offer more support and more comfort, but they’ll also be more expensive.
Sleep Trial
Almost all mattresses purchased directly from a manufacturer should come with a sleep trial, usually 100-110 nights. This gives you time to test out the mattress properly before deciding if it’s a good fit. If you purchase through a third party like Amazon, though, you might not get a sleep trial at all.
