How to Unbox a Mattress (2025)

Sleep Content Specialist

Many retailers now deliver bed-in-a-box mattresses that are vacuum-sealed, rolled up, and placed in a box—right to your doorstep. Compared to a traditional fully expanded mattress, buying a bed-in-a-box makes it much easier to buy, receive, and transport a mattress into your home.

However, unpacking a bed-in-a-box mattress isn’t always intuitive, and there’s a right way to get a rolled-up mattress out of the box. Our step-by-step guide will show you exactly how to unbox a mattress.

 

 

1. Prepare the room and clear a path

When you receive your boxed mattress, you’ll likely need to move it from your doorstep to the room of your choice. To ensure a smooth process, keep the following points in mind:

  • Make sure there’s enough space in your chosen room to unbox the mattress. This may involve getting rid of your old mattress before you bring in the new one.
  • Ensure you have enough space between your front door and your bedroom to move the mattress box. You may need to temporarily move furniture and other items out of the way.

Mattress boxes tend to be 16″–20″ in length and width, and are commonly up to 46″ in height. However, these measurements can vary depending on the mattress brand. Some brands even deliver their mattresses in a bag rather than a box.

Different mattress types can also vary in weight based on their height and construction. Here is a rough guide to how much different-sized mattresses can weigh:

  • Twin: 35–100 lb (common weight: 35 lb)
  • Twin XL: 35–110 lb (common weight: 40 lb)
  • Full/Double: 40–110 lb (common weight: 50 lb)
  • Queen: 60–160 lb (common weight: 65 lb)
  • King: 80–180 lb (common weight: 80 lb)
  • California King: 80–180 lb (common weight: 80 lb)

Keep these factors in mind to make your moving and unboxing experience easier. With mattresses weighing more than 50 lb, we recommend asking a friend to help you move the mattress into your room and unbox it.

 

2. Bring the box into your home

Once your mattress is delivered, it will usually be placed at your doorstep, and you will need to bring it inside. Many bed-in-a-box mattresses are delivered directly to your home and left at your front door without requiring a signature. Keep this in mind when ordering your mattress to ensure it arrives safely.

Depending on where you purchased the mattress, the courier will most likely not bring the box inside your house.

Some companies may offer white-glove delivery service for an extra charge, in which case the delivery person will bring the mattress into a room of your choice. However, you will need to be home to receive the mattress.

 

3. Move the box into the bedroom

Now it’s time to move your mattress to the bedroom of your choice. Most mattress boxes have handle cutouts, making it easier to carry them upstairs. You can also tip the box onto its side and have one person carry each end.

Generally, moving a mattress is a two-person job. This can help you avoid injury and accidents, especially if you’re carrying a mattress box up a flight of stairs.

It may be possible to carry a twin or twin XL mattress by yourself, or move a mattress through a single-floor dwelling. However, it’s best to ask a friend for help. The extra set of hands will make moving and unboxing much easier.

4. Open the box

 

Illustration of opening the mattress box

Now it’s time to open the box. Most boxes are sealed with heavy-duty packing tape, so you can use either a box cutter or a pair of scissors to open the top of the box.

We recommend scissors to reduce the risk of accidentally cutting your mattress, as this type of damage isn’t typically covered by mattress warranties. Always be careful when using sharp objects to avoid injuring yourself.

 

5. Remove the mattress from the box

 

Illustration of removing the mattress from the box

Once you’ve opened the mattress box, we recommend using the tip-and-pull method to remove the mattress from the box. Follow these steps to do it safely:

  1. From a standing position, tip the mattress box onto its side.
  2. One person holds the unopened end of the box in place.
  3. The other person firmly grasps the mattress and pulls it out of the box while anchoring their feet, slightly bending their knees, and engaging their core to avoid injury.

 

 

6. Place the mattress on your bed frame

 

Illustration of placing the mattress on the bed frame

Working with your partner, each of you should pick up the plastic-wrapped, rolled-up mattress at either end. Lift with your knees and place the mattress lengthwise on the bed frame. This will ensure you have enough space to unroll the mattress.

To make things even easier, look for a seam in the plastic wrap to see which way the plastic will unroll and place your mattress accordingly.

Before placing the mattress on your bed frame, double-check to make sure your new mattress is compatible with that type of bed frame. It’s possible you might need a box spring, foundation, wooden slats, or other accessory to ensure your mattress is properly supported. If you do, place the mattress on the necessary support system and proceed from there.

 

7. Remove the plastic wrapping

 

Illustration of removing the plastic wrapping from the mattress

The mattress will likely be wrapped in at least two layers of plastic. The outer layer keeps the mattress rolled up, and the inner layer keeps the mattress vacuum sealed.

  • To remove the first layer, grip the edge of the plastic and unroll the mattress until it lies flat. If needed, flip it so it’s right side up—some manufacturers roll mattresses with the bottom side out. You can discard this first layer of plastic. At this point, your mattress should be lying flat on the bed frame, right side up, and wrapped in a second, thicker plastic layer.
  • To remove the second layer, use a pair of scissors to carefully cut open the second plastic layer in a straight line along the side of the mattress. Pull the plastic wrap away from the mattress when you’re cutting to avoid damaging it.

The mattress will start to expand at some point during the unwrapping process—normally when you cut the second layer, but sometimes when you finish unwrapping the first layer. You can either keep going or wait a few minutes to allow for full expansion.

Many mattress companies that offer sleep trials require you to cover the mattress with plastic wrap if you decide to return it. This protective second layer is intended for that purpose, so hang onto that layer in case you decide to return the mattress during the trial period.

 

8. Allow the mattress to expand

 

Illustration of the mattress expanding

During the unwrapping process, you’ll notice the mattress starting to expand to its full size. Bed-in-a-box mattresses can take anywhere from a few minutes to several days to expand to their full height. For example, mattresses from GoodMorning.com usually take less than three minutes to fully expand and are sleep-ready the same day.

New mattresses often have an odour when you first unbox them. This is referred to as “off-gassing” and is typically not harmful, especially if a mattress uses CertiPUR-US® certified foams. Generally, this smell will dissipate within 24 hours.

To speed up the process, you can leave the bedroom door and windows open until the smell dissipates. It can also help to tip the mattress on its side for a short time to air out the top and bottom covers.

 

9. Throw away the empty box

 

Illustration of throwing away the mattress box

Mattress boxes are usually recyclable. Just break it down and fold it as much as possible to fit in a recycling bag. Your local garbage collectors most likely won’t take a fully expanded box. (If you live in an apartment building with a recycling dumpster, you can use that instead.) The first layer of plastic wrap can be recycled, too.

Like we mentioned earlier, it’s good idea to keep the thicker inner layer of plastic, just in case you need to return the mattress for any reason. If you’d rather not keep the plastic around, you can always purchase a mattress bag from the hardware store if you need one.

 

10. Enjoy your new mattress

FAQ

What is mattress off-gassing?

Mattress off-gassing is the initial chemical-like odour that’s released when vacuum-sealed mattresses are opened. This smell is typically due to the packaging process, which seals in the “new foam smell” released during foam manufacturing.

While this smell can be unpleasant, it typically isn’t harmful. It should dissipate within 24 hours, or as the mattress fully expands. To speed up the process, unbox the mattress in a well-ventilated room and open a window to allow airflow.

 

How long does it take to break into a new mattress?

It can take 30–90 days to fully break in a new mattress. This is why the industry-standard sleep trial length is 100 nights, with most manufacturers not allowing returns before at least 21 nights. The process can take even longer if you are sleeping on a type of mattress that your body isn’t used to.

 

How can I break into a new mattress faster?

Breaking in a new mattress can take some time, but there are a few ways to speed up the process and help it feel more comfortable sooner:

  1. Let it fully expand and breathe for at least a few hours before you sleep on it.
  2. Allow it to reach room temperature. Foam tends to stiffen in colder temperatures. To help make it feel softer during the break-in period, you can increase the temperature in your room by a few degrees (Celsius) to soften the foam layers in your mattress.
  3. Place heavy items on it, like a good number of hardcover books. Move them around periodically to ensure even weight distribution across the mattress. The added weight will help to soften up the top layers in a mattress, which can typically feel stiffer the first few days you sleep on it.
  4. Be patient. The best way to break in a mattress is to lay on it regularly for extended periods of time. If you don’t want to sleep on it right away, you can also choose to lounge on it when you’re reading, watching television, or working. That way, the top layers of the mattress have a chance to break in and help it become your ideal sleep surface.

Please note that we don’t recommend jumping on your mattress to break it in. This can damage both your bed frame and the internal layers of the mattress.

 

What is a sleep trial?

A sleep trial is a period of time during which you can test out a mattress at home, with the option to return it back to the retailer if the mattress isn’t the right fit. Exact return policies differ from company to company.

Some companies, like GoodMorning.com, offer sleep trials up to 365 nights long. They also offer full refunds when you return a mattress during the sleep trial.

Other types of sleep trials include exchange-only trials, where you can exchange your returned mattress for a different one in the company’s collection. Carefully review the sleep trial policy for your chosen mattress to avoid any surprises if you decide to return it.

 

Do coil mattresses bend or fold?

Certain mattresses with coils aren’t designed to be bent or folded for long periods of time. However, these mattresses are usually delivered fully expanded.

Bed-in-a-box hybrid and innerspring mattresses are a different story. They’re designed to be compressed and rolled up using special equipment in a factory setting. Many of these mattresses use pocket coils, which provide extra protection during the boxing process. Once the mattress has unboxed, it shouldn’t be bent, folded, or rolled up again.

 

How do I roll my mattress back up into the box?

Most bed-in-a-box products are compressed and vacuum-sealed using high pressure and industrial-grade machinery. Once the mattress expands, it can’t be compressed back to its original size without specialized equipment.

If you want to return your mattress, most companies will pick it up fully expanded. They won’t ask you to fit it back in the box. However, they may ask that you cover the expanded mattress with the plastic cover that it originally came with, or a mattress bag purchased from a hardware store.

Mattress Breakdown

When comparing the Simmons vs Juno mattresses, Juno has a medium-firm feel that’s ideal for all sleep styles and positions. It offers more cooling features, a 120-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, free shipping, and easy returns with full refunds. Your purchase also comes with a free bedding bundle, so that your mattress is sleep-ready when it arrives.

In comparison, the Simmons Gel Memory Foam mattress has a firm feel, which is preferred by some back and stomach sleepers. However, a firm mattress might cause pressure points for side sleepers and those with lighter body types. While Simmons has good edge support and motion isolation, it doesn’t come with a sleep trial when purchased through Costco (which requires a paid membership). The mattress also comes with only an industry-standard 10-year warranty. If you purchased your Simmons mattress in-store and want to return it, you will need to bring it back to the store yourself.

The business’s online reputation is also important to consider when you’re buying a mattress. Serta Simmons Bedding—Simmons’s parent company—is rated "F (unaccredited)" on BBB and "Poor" on Trustpilot. In comparison, Juno’s parent company is rated “A+” on BBB and “Excellent” on Trustpilot.

To help you choose between Juno vs Simmons, we’ve gathered all the information you need to accurately compare these two Canadian mattresses.

Mattress Performance Results

 

Firmness

According to third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), Juno falls into the medium-firm category with a firmness score of 6.0/10. This makes it ideal for all sleep styles, offering a well-rounded combination of support and comfort that’s ideal for side, back, and stomach sleepers.

Simmons Gel Memory Foam scored 7.0/10 for firmness, putting it in the firm category. This level of firmness can be comfortable for back and stomach sleepers. However, you may notice pressure on your hips and shoulders if you sleep on your side or if you have a lightweight body type.

 

Edge Support

Foam mattresses aren’t typically known for having high edge support. However, both Juno and Simmons scored well in this category. Juno has excellent edge support with a score of 8.0/10, and the Simmons mattress scored slightly higher at 8.3/10. You should be able to sit on the edge of the bed comfortably with either mattress.

 

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation helps you enjoy a good night’s sleep without being disturbed by a restless partner on the other side of the bed. Juno has an above-average motion isolation score of 6.2/10. Simmons Gel Memory Foam also performed well with a higher score of 7.7/10.

 

Bounce

While bounce is more of a preference, it’s important to know the bounce ratings of various mattresses if getting an undisturbed sleep is important to you. A bouncier mattress makes for a more responsive one, making it easier to change positions and spring out of bed, but a mattress with less bounce helps create a smoother sleep surface.

Simmons Gel Memory Foam has a bounce score of 3.1/10, while Juno scored 2.5/10. Both mattresses would work for your needs if you’re a light sleeper who wakes up easily.

 

Cooling Features

Foam mattresses can be known to trap heat, so even budget-value foam mattresses often incorporate cooling features to prevent heat-trapping and promote temperature balance. Simmons Gel Memory Foam has one cooling feature: a layer of cooling gel foam that helps to dissipate heat. This earned a cooling feature score of 1.2/10.

Juno earned a higher score of 2.4/10. This is due to the mattress’s layer of cooling gel foam, as well as its optional Cool+ cover made from special cooling yarn. If you’re looking for an affordable mattress to help you sleep at night without getting hot, Juno is a better choice with its higher score.

Mattress Construction

Juno and Simmons are both all-foam mattresses. Juno contains 2 foam layers, whereas Simmons has 3 foam layers. However, they both stand 8” tall.

 

Juno Mattress Layers

  • Layer 1: The comfort layer consists of 2” of full-body cooling gel foam, giving you contoured comfort and a cool night’s sleep. It has a foam density of 2.5 lb/ft³.
  • Layer 2: The support layer is 6” of total support foam, which makes the mattress feel firmer, provides extra edge support, and reduces motion transfer from the other side of the bed. Its foam density is 1.85 lb/ft³.

The Juno mattress cover is made with a blend of viscose and polyester. It has a zipper but is not machine washable, according to the manufacturer. We recommend that you spot-clean any spills or stains. If you want extra cooling in your mattress cover, you can upgrade to Juno’s moisture-wicking Cool+ cover.

 

Simmons Gel Memory Foam Mattress Layers

  • Layer 1: The top (comfort) layer of the Simmons Gel Memory Foam mattress is 2” of cooling gel-infused foam. This layer conforms to your body’s shape while you’re lying down, and actively dissipates heat from your body.
  • Layer 2: The second (transition) layer is 2” of polyurethane foam. This layer stops you from feeling the denser support layer beneath. Costco’s product page describes this as a “motion separation” layer, but it’s not clear what this means.
  • Layer 3: The bottom (support) layer is 4” of polyurethane foam. This layer gives the mattress most of its bulk, and prevents you from sinking too deeply into it when lying down.

Simmons’s cover is made of 72% polyester and 28% micro-polyamide, which is a blend of elastane and microfibres similar to polyester. The law label of the Simmons Gel Memory Foam mattress does not indicate whether or not the mattress cover is machine washable. To be safe, we recommend spot-cleaning it only.

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns

Juno

Juno ships by ground for free using FedEx. Your mattress will be delivered directly to your door throughout most parts of Canada in 2–10 business days, including dispatch and delivery time. Additional fees may apply for some remote locations.

Juno comes with a 120-night sleep trial, which is longer than the 100-night industry average. If you decide to return the mattress, the company provides free return pickup and a full refund. Your returned mattress will also be donated to a local charity or recycled, depending on the options available in your area.

Juno comes with a generous 15-year warranty. Judging by its online reputation, Juno is known for good customer service. The company is rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot and “A+” on BBB.

 

Simmons Gel Memory Foam

Shipping and delivery for Simmons will vary depending on which retailer you purchase from. We purchased our Simmons mattress through Costco—something you’ll need a valid membership to do. You’ll get free shipping and delivery if you order online, but this option isn’t available if you purchase in-store.

Costco ships via UPS/FedEx. The mattress should arrive in 2–10 business days with Costco’s “quick ship” promotion. However, this offer may not be available for all customers. It depends on your location and the time you purchase this mattress. If you live in a remote area, the package may be held at a local store for pickup, which you’ll have to arrange yourself.

A Simmons mattress purchased through Costco doesn’t come with a sleep trial. You can instead expect Costco’s return policy, which will provide free return shipping in the case of online purchases. The return process will take 3–4 weeks. If you purchased your mattress in-store, you will need to bring it back to Costco yourself and return it to customer service.

Simmons has an industry-average 10-year warranty. It’s worth noting that the brand’s parent company, Serta Simmons Bedding, is rated "Poor" on Trustpilot. It’s also rated "F (unaccredited)" on BBB, with a “pattern of complaints” and a customer review rating of 1.79 stars.

Matelas en mousse ou hybride: lequel devriez-vous choisir? (2025)

Sam Kulathilaka

Sleep Content Specialist

Lorsque vient le moment d’acheter un nouveau matelas, il peut être difficile de choisir entre un matelas hybride et un matelas en mousse. Les deux ont des caractéristiques uniques et correspondent à différentes préférences en matière de sommeil.

Les matelas en mousse sont fabriqués uniquement de couches de mousse. Ils offrent une excellente isolation de mouvement et soulagent bien la pression, ce qui en fait un choix sensé si vous avez le sommeil léger ou que vous avez des douleurs ou des courbatures. Quant aux matelas hybrides, ils sont faits de couches de mousse combinées à des ressorts. Ils offrent donc un bon équilibre entre soutien, respirabilité et rebond.

Dans cet article, nous couvrirons les caractéristiques des matelas en mousse et hybrides. Nous comparerons leur composition, leurs avantages et leurs inconvénients afin de vous permettre de prendre une décision éclairée.

 

Survol: matelas hybrides et matelas en mousse

EN SAVOIR PLUS: Quel type de matelas vous convient le mieux?

 

Matelas en mousse

Les matelas en mousse tels que le Douglas, le Octave et le Juno offrent de nombreux avantages comparativement aux matelas hybrides, notamment une meilleure isolation de mouvement et un plus grand soulagement des points de pression. De plus, ils peuvent être fabriqués en différents types de mousses pour couvrir toute une gamme de préférences.

Une infographie détaillant la composition d’un matelas en mousse, ses avantages et pour quels dormeurs il est idéal

 

Matériaux des matelas en mousse

En général, les matelas en mousse sont composés de plusieurs couches de mousse mémoire, de mousse en gel, de mousse poly ou de mousse en latex.

  • La mousse poly offre normalement un soutien et une respirabilité hors pair. Sa fermeté peut varier grandement en fonction de sa fonction. De plus, elle coûte moins cher à produire que d’autres types de mousse, alors elle est souvent utilisée dans la fabrication de matelas abordables.
  • La mousse mémoire se conforme à la pression et aux courbes du corps, en le laissant s’enfoncer un peu dans le matelas. S’il s’agit de mousse mémoire à cellules fermées, il se peut que vous remarquiez que le matelas retient de la chaleur. Quant à la mousse à cellules ouvertes (combinées à des propriétés rafraîchissantes avancées), elle favorise la circulation d’air.
  • La mousse en gel est un type de mousse mémoire qui se sert de gel pour éloigner la chaleur du corps pendant la nuit. Il peut s’agir d’une infusion ou d’une couche de gel par-dessus la mousse, selon le fabricant. Vous dormirez ainsi plus au frais tout en profitant d’une mousse mémoire qui épouse les courbes de votre corps.
  • La mousse en latex, qui peut être naturelle ou synthétique, offre une meilleur réactivité et régulation de la température que d’autres types de mousse en raison de sa structure à celulles ouvertes. Elle est plus durable et peut être plus dispendieuse que d’autres mousses, mais elle vaut bien l’investissement.

Certains matelas ont aussi des propriétés rafraîchissantes supplémentaires pour prévenir la rétention de chaleur et ainsi garantir des nuits fraîches et confortables. Par exemple, le Octave Vista, le meilleur matelas rafraîchissant (page en anglais) selon nous, a une housse en nanofibres rafraîchissantes qui repousse l’humidité, de la mousse mémoire en gel infusée d’un matériau à changement de phase pour réguler la température selon les fluctuations dans la température ambiante, et une mousse de soutien multizone à canaux d’air respirants pour favoriser la circulation d’air.

 

Avantages et inconvénients des matelas en mousse

 

 

Matelas hybrides

Une infographie détaillant la composition d’un matelas hybride, ses avantages et pour quels dormeurs il est idéal

Les matelas hybrides (page en anglais) comme le Logan & Cove combinent des couches de confort en mousse et des systèmes de soutien à ressorts pour une expérience de sommeil bien équilibrée. Ils offrent une sensation idéale grâce aux couches de mousse qui épousent les formes, aux ressorts soutenant, à leur composition durable et à leur respirabilité améliorée.

 

Matériaux des matelas hybrides

Normalement, les matelas hybrides combinent des ressorts (en acier) et au moins une autre couche faite de mousse d’au moins 2 pouces d’épaisseur. Il arrive souvent que plusieurs couches de mousse soient posées sur de multiples couches de ressorts, surtout dans des hybrides de grande qualité comme le Logan & Cove Pionnier.

Nous avons déjà abordé les différents types de mousse dans cet article (notamment la mousse mémoire, en latex et poly). Voyons maintenant les différents types de ressorts qui peuvent se retrouver dans un matelas hybride.

  • Les ressorts Bonnell ont la forme d’un sablier et sont formés par un seul fil. Ils sont moins durables et soutenants et ils isolent moins bien les mouvements que d’autres types de ressorts.
  • Les ressorts ensachés sont enveloppés individuellement dans du tissu et agissent de manière indépendante. Ils sont donc très silencieux et épousent très bien les formes du corps.
  • Les microressorts ressemblent beaucoup aux ressorts ensachés, mais sont beaucoup plus petits. Ils permettent de mieux épouser les formes et d’améliorer la réactivité.
  • Les ressorts à décalage sont connectés comme les ressorts Bonnell, mais ne sont pas aussi ronds. Ils offrent une meilleure isolations de mouvement et plus de soutien.
  • Les ressorts continus sont des rangées de fils connectés. Ils sont durables, mais n’isolent pas beaucoup les mouvements. Ils sont moins confortables et sont assez bruyants.

Types de ressorts

 

Avantages et inconvénients des matelas hybrides

 


Devriez-vous acheter un matelas en mousse ou hybride?

La sélection d’un matelas en mousse ou d’un matelas hybride dépend de vos préférences, de vos habitudes de sommeil et de votre budget.

Optez pour un matelas en mousse si vous voulez une isolation de mouvement et un soulagement de la pression exceptionnels. Ce type de matelas convient particulièrement aux personnes qui ont le sommeil léger ou des douleurs chroniques. De plus, les matelas en mousse sont souvent moins dispendieux, ce qui est idéal si votre budget est limité.

Un matelas hybride pourrait être plus sensé si vous cherchez à la fois soutien, respirabilité et réactivité. Si vous et votre partenaire avez des préférences différentes en matière de sommeil, un hybride est aussi un excellent choix.

En fin de compte, il vous faut prendre en compte vos besoins et vos préférences en matière de sommeil lorsque vient le temps de choisir entre ces deux types de matelas populaires. Vous pourrez ainsi vous assurer des nuits de sommeil réparatrices.

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns

Note: Beautyrest Imperial Granite was available in Canada through several third-party retailers like Sleep Country Canada, Walmart, and Best Buy, but according to a Sleep Country Canada agent, it has since been updated and renamed Beautyrest Zero Granite. You may still be able to find Imperial Granite through some mattress resellers. We purchased this mattress from Sleep Country, so the information in this section is specific to Sleep Country’s delivery, sleep trial, and return practices.

We purchased the Beautyrest Imperial Granite mattress from Sleep Country Canada for this review. Sleep Country provides free shipping for orders over $75 to most Canadian locations, with mattresses arriving at your door in 3–10 business days. For customers in Newfoundland and Labrador or the Canadian Territories, shipping takes 7–10 business days and costs $120. After your mattress arrives, you’ll have 100 nights to decide if it’s the right fit for you. This sleep trial length is standard for the mattress industry.

However, if you decide to return the mattress during the trial period, you won’t receive a refund. Instead, you’ll have to exchange the mattress for in-store credit after paying a $65 exchange fee. If you exchange for a less expensive model, any remaining balance must be spent on other Sleep Country products. You’ll need to pay the difference if you choose a more expensive mattress.

Sleep Country also doesn’t provide return pickup. This means you’ll need to transport the mattress back to the store yourself, even if you bought it online and there isn’t a Sleep Country location near you.

Beautyrest’s manufacturer’s warranty can vary based on the specific code on your mattress tag. This requires cross-referencing with their warranty documentation. Imperial Granite’s law label said it falls under warranty code A, which is an industry-standard 10-year warranty.

Beautyrest Mattress Construction

Beautyrest Imperial Granite is a hybrid mattress. It’s advertised as being a 12" mattress; however, the mattress we received stood only 11” tall. It has 5 layers. The foams used in this mattress are CertiPUR-US® certified.

  • Layer 1: This mattress's first layer is 0.5" of polyester batting, which provides a cushioned plush feel.
  • Layer 2: The second layer is 0.5" of latex foam, which is a breathable, open-cell material that should provide good pressure-point relief.
  • Layer 3: The next layer is 2” of high-density unspecified foam, which provides an overall firm feel and support to the mattress.
  • Layer 4: The fourth layer is 7.5" of zoned pocketed coils. The coils are individually pocketed to enhance motion isolation and provide contouring, zoned support.
  • Layer 5: The second layer is 0.5" of unspecified foam, which acts as a support layer under the coils.

According to the law label of this mattress, the top cover is composed of polyester. The cover’s TENCEL™ fibres are not listed on the law label. The cover is non-removable and not machine washable, so any stains or spills should be spot-cleaned only.

Company Background

The Beautyrest brand is owned by the Simmons Bedding Company, which is based in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1870, Simmons developed and sold its first Beautyrest mattress in 1925, using a design featuring individually wrapped wire coils. Simmons is a subsidiary of Serta Simmons Bedding, along with sister company Serta International. Serta Simmons Bedding filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2023.

Serta Simmons Bedding is rated “F” (unaccredited) with the BBB and has a customer review score of 1.75/5 stars. The Beautyrest brand specifically has a “Poor” rating on Trustpilot.

In Canada, Beautyrest mattresses are available through various third-party retailers, including Leon’s, Best Buy, The Brick, and Sleep Country Canada. We purchased Beautyrest Imperial Granite from Sleep Country Canada, and Beautyrest Black was obtained through The Brick. Both mattresses were exclusively available through these retailers. As such, it’s also important to consider retailer reputations when making a purchase.

Popular Beautyrest Mattresses

Beautyrest is known for designing luxury mattresses that incorporate materials like diamond-infused foam and silk fibres. These mattresses often have price tags ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the model and size.

In Canada, Beautyrest mattresses are primarily sold through third-party retailers like Sleep Country, Leon’s, and The Brick. Purchases must be made through a retailer’s website or in-store. Availability also varies, with some models being exclusively sold at certain retailers.

Because Beautyrest mattresses are sold through third-party retailers, sleep trial and warranty policies vary, too. For example, The Brick and Sleep Country both have exchange-only return policies—you can trade your mattress in for a different model, but you won’t receive a refund. Warranty lengths also vary by mattress and can be as long as 10 years (the industry average) or as short as 1 year.

Meanwhile, newer competitors like Logan & Cove also have advanced cooling features like CryoFusion™ cooling nanofibers, breathable hollow fiberfill, and gel-infused foam. They also offer a longer 365-night sleep trial, free return pickup with full refunds, and a longer 15-year warranty for lower prices than most Beautyrest mattresses. Keep reading to see how Beautyrest stacks up against the competition.

Livraison, retours et période d’essai

Les matelas de Dormez-vous sont normalement livrés à votre porte dans les 3–10 business days jours ouvrables, ce qui inclut le temps de préparation et d’expédition de votre commande. Le délai de livraison varie en fonction des stocks et de l’horaire de livraison.

Vous avez 100 nuits pour essayer le matelas chez vous pendant la période d’essai standard de Dormez-vous. Si vous voulez retourner le matelas, vous devrez le rapporter vous-même en magasin, même si vous l’avez acheté en ligne et que vous habitez loin d’un magasin Dormez-vous. De plus, l’entreprise n’offre aucun remboursement. Vous pourrez seulement échanger votre matelas pour un crédit en magasin, moyennant des frais d’échange de 65 $, et si vous l’échangez contre un modèle plus cher, vous devrez débourser la différence.

La garantie du matelas Serta varie selon le code qui apparaît sur l’étiquette du fabricant. Celui sur le matelas que nous avons acheté pour cette critique était «W9», ce qui correspond à la garantie limitée de 10 ans du fabricant, le standard dans l’industrie. Cette garantie ne couvre que les défauts de fabrication et de main-d’œuvre. Elle ne couvre donc pas les dommages accidentels, notamment durant la livraison. Il est important de le noter, puisque notre matelas a été livré non comprimé et enveloppé dans une simple feuille de plastique.

Par comparaison, le matelas concurrent Logan & Cove Sélection offre la livraison pratique dans une boîte. Le matelas est emballé dans deux couches de plastique et roulé pour entrer dans une boîte de carton épais. Si vous retournez votre matelas pendant la période d’essai beaucoup plus longue de 365 nuits, Logan & Cove s’occupera gratuitement du ramassage et vous recevrez un remboursement complet. De plus, le matelas s’accompagne d’une garantie beaucoup plus longue, soit 15 ans.

 

 

Achetez le matelas qui offre un essai de 365 nuits et une garantie de 15 ans.

Composition du matelas Serta Perfect Sleeper Elite Aero

Le Serta Perfect Sleeper Elite Aero est un matelas hybride de 10.5" de hauteur et comprend 4 couches distinctes de mousse et de ressorts. Toutes les mousses sont certifiées CertiPUR-US®.

  • Layer 1: The top layer is 1” of foam. It's composed of two thinner 0.5” layers that have been quilted together, forming breathable pockets. We consider this one layer because the foam sheets are physically attached and combined to form the top layer.
  • Layer 2: The second layer is 1” of unknown foam. This layer is denser than the layer above and stops you from feeling the coil layer beneath while you’re lying down.
  • Layer 3: The support layer is 8” of individually pocketed coils. These coils incorporate a five-zoned body support system to provide contouring while you’re lying down. They account for most of the mattress's weight.
  • Layer 4: The bottom layer is 0.5” of unknown foam. This layer acts as a base for the pocketed coils above, and helps protect the mattress from any foundation you might use beneath.

Selon la page du produit sur le site de Dormez-vous, ce matelas comprend de la mousse de soutien en gel Serta®, qui confère des propriétés rafraîchissantes au matelas. Cependant, ni Dormez-vous ni Serta ne spécifie où se trouve cette mousse dans le matelas.

Ce matelas comprend des fibres d’argent pour des propriétés antimicrobiennes, ce qui aide à garder le matelas propre. Cependant, la housse n’est ni amovible ni lavable à la machine. Vous devrez laver les taches et les dégâts à l’aide d’un chiffon humide.

Présentation de l’entreprise

Founded in 1931, Serta is an American company based in Illinois. Serta's biggest licensee, the National Bedding Company, was acquired by two private equity firms in 2005. After the following restructuring, Serta International became a subsidiary of Serta Simmons Bedding, LLC. The company also acquired independent mattress brand Tuft & Needle in 2018. In early 2023, Serta filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and concluded financial restructuring later that year.

Serta sells through third-party retailers like Sleep Country Canada and The Brick, as well as individual suppliers and retailers. This means that you will be subject to the individual retailer's policies such as return policies.

It's also important to consider the company's reputation on consumer protection websites such as Trustpilot and the Better Business Bureau. On Trustpilot, the company is rated “Poor”, with a customer review score of 1.8/5 stars. Serta’s parent company, Serta Simmons Bedding, has a Better Business Bureau profile rated “F” (unaccredited) with a customer review rating of 1.75/5 stars.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the most popular mattress size?

queen-size mattress (60” x 80” / 152 cm x 203.5 cm) is the most popular option for many people, whether they sleep alone or with a partner. It provides plenty of room to spread out while still fitting into a typical bedroom.

A queen-size mattress also has a mid-range price tag, making it affordable for the average person. Brands like JunoDouglasLogan & Cove, and Octave all offer a queen size for under $1,000 CAD.

That said, many people also choose a larger king-size mattress (76” x 80” / 193 cm x 203.5 cm) or smaller full-size mattress (75” x 53” / 190.5 x 134.5 cm). It all depends on how large their room is, how much sleep surface they need, and what they’re willing to spend on a mattress.

 

What mattress size do I need?

The mattress size you need depends on several factors:

      • Users: If you sleep alone, you can save space and money by purchasing a smaller mattress. On the other hand, you might prefer a larger mattress if you want plenty of room for yourself or share your bed with a partner, kids, or pets. Just make sure the mattress will be long enough to accommodate the tallest person’s height.
      • Room: Pick a mattress size that works within your room. Allow space for nightstands and other furniture, and ensure you have space to comfortably move around. You should also consider how to move the mattress into the room, especially if it’s upstairs or around a corner. Purchasing a bed-in-a-box mattress can solve that problem.
      • Budget: Your budget is the final word when it comes to choosing a mattress size. Larger mattresses cost more money, and so does quality. Set a budget and shop around to find the right mattress in the size you need. Don’t forget to factor in the cost of your new bedsheets, too.

    Looking for a larger mattress with a lower price tag—without sacrificing comfort? Juno offers a king-size mattress for just $599.

     

    Are mattress sizes universal?

    No, mattress sizes are not universal. They can vary by country and continent, which can be confusing if you buy a mattress internationally. While some standard sizes are similar across many regions—like a twin/single or a double/full mattress—the exact dimensions can still vary slightly.

    If you are buying a mattress internationally for use in Canada, double-check the mattress’s exact dimensions to ensure it will fit with your bed frame before you make a purchase.

     

    Are mattress sizes in Canada the same as the US?

    Mattresses from the United States can be half an inch longer, shorter, wider, or narrower than Canadian mattress sizes. However, this isn’t a huge difference, so your Canadian bedsheets should still fit an American mattress and vice versa.

     

    What’s the largest mattress size available?

    The Alaskan king size mattress is the largest at 108” x 108”, or 9 feet by 9 feet. For reference, a California king–size mattress measures 72” x 84”, or 6 feet by 7 feet. Alaskan king mattresses aren’t commonly ordered, so they’re usually custom made.

     

    What custom mattress sizes are there?

    There are several custom mattress sizes that can be found in different kinds of beds, such as:

    • RV mattress sizes
    • Oversized mattress sizes (e.g., Alaskan king, Texas king, Wyoming king)
    • Boat and yacht mattresses (e.g., V-berth, tapered)
    • Antique bed mattresses (e.g., three-quarter)
    • Uniquely shaped mattresses (e.g., heart, circle)

    Custom mattress sizes are harder to find since many mattress retailers predominantly sell standard sizes. However, some brands like Douglas and Juno sell popular RV mattress sizes.

     

    Do custom-size mattresses cost the same as standard-size mattresses?

    Common custom sizes like RV mattresses can be priced similarly to standard-size mattresses. However, less common custom sizes are typically more expensive. This is because there’s lower demand and less bulk production, and these sizes can only be produced with specialized machinery.

     

    Can I use 2 single XL mattresses for a king-size bed?

    Yes, two twin XL mattresses can be placed side-by-side to make a standard king-sized bed. This is a good idea if you want to use a split king base, which allows you to raise and lower each side of the bed independently.

     

    How do I check my mattress size?

    Grab a measuring tape, then measure the length and width of your mattress. Compare it with our size chart to see which size is closest to your mattress. Some mattress brands may be slightly smaller than the standard mattress sizes in the chart, but don’t worry—it’s okay to round up by an inch or so.

    Your mattress’s height typically won’t factor into its size (except for crib size). Mattresses can be any height, depending on the brand and construction, but length and width are specific to certain sizes. Still, you may want to measure height so you can buy the right sheets and ensure the mattress will fit your bed frame.

    READ MORE: Cotton vs bamboo sheets: which is right for you?

     

    How tall is the average mattress?

    Mattresses tend to be 8–14” tall. However, height varies depending on the type of mattress and the materials used. A foam mattress like Douglas Original is shorter at 10″, while an innerspring or hybrid mattress like Logan & Cove Frontier measures 13.5” tall.

    Looking for the best mattress in Canada? Our top picks come with a lengthy sleep trial and FREE bedding with mattress purchase—and they’re all priced under $1,000 for a queen size.

     

    Next Steps

    Whether you sleep solo or share your bed with a partner, kids, or pets, it’s important to find the mattress size that’s right for you. Choose the mattress that fits your bedroom, sleep habits, physical size, and budget.

What is the best memory foam mattress in Canada?

Octave Vista is our top pick for the best Canadian memory foam mattress. Priced at just $899 for a queen size, Octave earned this top spot on our list thanks to its advanced cooling and comfort features, zoned support, 365-night sleep trial, 15-year warranty, and free bedding bundle with purchase.

Memory foam, otherwise known as viscoelastic polyurethane foam, was originally developed by NASA for use in aircraft cushions. It has a distinctive slow responsiveness—that is, your body slowly sinks into its surface—and it’s known for its body-contouring properties. Memory foam is a popular choice for mattress materials and is often combined with other premium features, like cooling and zoned support.

Keep reading to discover our selection of the best memory foam mattresses based on factors like price, performance, sleep trial and warranty length, and more.

Canada’s Best Mattress For a Good Night’s Sleep

Octave Vista is a 3-layer memory foam mattress crafted with a medium-firm feel, premium materials, excellent motion isolation, and precisely engineered comfort and cooling features. It features a five-zoned support system to give you ergonomic support where your body needs it most, taking pressure off your back, hips, and knees and relieving muscle tension for a rejuvenating night’s sleep.

To aid with your body's natural recovery process, Vista comes with an array of cooling features that promote a balanced and comfortable sleep environment. Its cover includes cooling nanofibres to pull heat and moisture away from your body, while ventilated foam and phase-change material help keep your bed at just the right temperature. The top layer also contains an anti-microbial copper infusion to keep the mattress cool and fresh while you sleep.

Available at just $899 for a queen size, Vista can help you get a restful, satisfying sleep at an accessible price. It also comes with a 365-night risk-free sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle, giving you much more value than similar high-end mattresses.

Standard Bed-In-a-Box With Upgrade Fees

The S&S Mattress is an updated version of the company’s first mattress, Silk & Snow Original. This memory foam mattress is available in two firmness options: firm and medium-firm. The medium-firm option we purchased for this review is priced at $800 for a queen size. We purchased the mattress through the Silk & Snow website, and it came with a free sleep bundle.

The firm option is priced lower at $700 for a queen size. This means you’re paying an extra $100 for a mattress that fits all sleep styles, but the only difference is an extra layer of foam.

Silk & Snow has under 2,000 customer reviews for the S&S Mattress on its website. The company is rated “A” on BBB, but has a customer review rating of just 2.4/5 stars. In comparison, competitor mattress brands like Douglas maintain a 4.89/5 star BBB customer review rating, and has 21,000+ reviews for Douglas Original on its website.

Decent Memory Foam Mattress, Poor Service Reviews

Emma Original is a memory foam mattress that comes in a single medium firmness. The Emma website advertises that it's made in the US, but the label on the mattress we purchased says it was made in Mexico.

Although Emma’s website has thousands of customer reviews mainly from Europe, there are fewer than 40 customer reviews from Canadian customers. Furthermore, consumer reviews on third-party websites like Better Business Bureau and Trustpilot raise concerns about the company’s customer service practices.

Flippable Mattress Costs More For Canadians

Layla Memory Foam is an all-foam mattress from the American company Layla Sleep. It features copper-infused cooling gel, a cooling cover, and a flippable design that lets you choose between “Soft” and “Firm” sleeping surfaces.

A queen-size Layla mattress costs $1,582 CAD (subject to USD exchange rates). However, Canadian customers end up paying even more due to a $250 USD non-refundable shipping fee. Layla's website also doesn’t state a currency, so it's not clear that you're paying USD until after you've bought the mattress.

Compared to competing foam mattresses like Douglas, Layla’s 120-night sleep trial is only slightly above industry standard. And while a flippable firmness option is an interesting idea, the mattress's performance per side isn't different enough to justify the higher-than-average cost of this mattress.

Budget Memory Foam Mattress

The Nectar (aka Nectar Original) is a medium-firm combination foam mattress distributed by Resident Home. It's available in-store and online at $899 for a queen size. The Nectar has a memory foam comfort layer featuring heat-absorbent polyethylene.

Nectar's parent company, Resident Home, was convicted by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for repeatedly making false claims about manufacturing its mattresses entirely in the US.

Pricey Foam Mattress With Long Delivery Time

Amerisleep AS3 is an American-made mattress available in both foam and hybrid versions. (We purchased the foam version for this review.) It has above-average edge support, very good motion isolation, and some cooling technologies.

However, Amerisleep comes with few value-added features and only a 100-night sleep trial, which doesn't balance out the higher-than-average price tag of $2,500 CAD for a queen size. The mattress also takes 10–15 business days to arrive, and there are import fees for shipping to Canada.

In comparison, competitor foam mattress Douglas Original is much more affordably priced at just $799 for a queen size. With a 365-night sleep trial, a machine-washable cover, more cooling features, and a free bedding bundle, Douglas offers more value for your money.

Expensive Foam Mattress With Average Features

Polysleep Zephyr is a medium-firm foam mattress from Polysleep. It's also the most expensive option in the Polysleep lineup at $2,599 for a queen size.

Zephyr has a number of special features, including zoned support and a layer of antimicrobial foam. Still, we would expect to see more features at this price point. The mattress's 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty are only standard for the industry, and Polysleep only issues partial refunds if you decide to return your mattress.

Competing mattress Octave Horizon offers more features and value for a lower price. At $1,499 for a queen size, Horizon is meticulously crafted to give you a deeper, more restorative sleep experience. The mattress features advanced cooling technologies, five-zone ergonomic support, a 365-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and hassle-free returns with a full refund.

As of February 2025, Polysleep Zephyr is no longer available through the company's website. It's only available for purchase in-store at individual third-party retailers. Price, sleep trial, and return policies may vary by supplier.

Expensive Mid-range Foam Mattress

Puffy Lux is a mid-range memory foam mattress from American company Puffy. Featuring gel-infused foam, a lifetime warranty, and unspecified Climate Comfort™ technology, Puffy Lux also has very good edge support and above-average motion isolation.

However, apart from the gel foam and vague technology, the mattress has no other cooling features. It also lacks a machine-washable cover, and its sleep trial is only standard for the industry. According to the customer questions section of the company’s product page, the mattress's fire sock contains fiberglass, which is a potential health hazard. And at $2,899 for a queen size, Puffy Lux is outside the budget of many Canadians.

In comparison, competing foam mattress Douglas Summit offers premium features for much less. At just $1,299 for a queen size, Summit has a machine-washable cooling nanofibre cover, cooling gel-infused foam, and phase-change material for perfect temperature balance. Your purchase also comes with a generous 365-night sleep trial and a free bedding bundle.

Memory Foam Mattress With No Refunds

Bloom Mist is a medium-firm foam mattress available only through Sleep Country. It features a layer of cooling gel foam, a layer of aerated charcoal-infused antimicrobial foam, and a machine-washable cover.

At $799 for a queen size, Bloom Mist is the mid-range option in the Bloom mattress lineup. However, its 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty are only standard for the industry. Returning the mattress after purchase also won't get you a full refund, as defined by Sleep Country's exchange-only policy.

In comparison, competitor mattress Juno offers similar features for a much lower price. At just $499 for a queen size, Juno comes with a 120-night sleep trial, 15-year warranty, full refunds with free return pickup, and a free bedding bundle.

Memory Foam Mattress with Limited Cooling Features

The Casper is a memory foam mattress made by mattress company Casper. While this mattress used to be available for both Canadians and Americans, the model is now only sold through Casper Canada, which is owned by Sleep Country.

At the time we purchased our model for this review, this mattress was made in the United States, according to the law label. However, a Casper Canada support agent confirmed to us that The Casper is now made in Canada.

The Casper replaced the Casper Original mattress in 2023. It's priced as Casper's mid-range option, and retails at $1,499 for a queen size. It also comes with an industry-standard 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty.

Compared to competing brands like Douglas, The Casper comes with a shorter trial and warranty for a higher price tag. It also doesn’t offer the advanced cooling features you might expect to see for that price.

Note: This page reviews a previous version of The Casper. Newer models may vary in construction and performance.

An IKEA ABROTTEN mattress rolled up and in it's packaging, which is plastic wrap

 

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns

IKEA ships mattresses across most of Canada via FedEx. Depending on your location, delivery fees start at $39 for contactless doorstep delivery or $59 for in-home delivery. The mattress for this review was picked up in-store. It was rolled and wrapped in plastic, but not packaged in a box, making it difficult to handle. It also wasn’t tightly rolled, resulting in a bulkier shape that was taller and wider than the boxed mattresses we often order.

This mattress did not fit in a mid-sized vehicle that should have accommodated its size, despite folding down the back seats. You will need a truck or van for store pickup. We also recommend bringing a blanket or tarp to protect the mattress, as both the plastic wrap and the underside of our mattress tore during transportation. This damage would not be covered by the product warranty.

ABROTTEN comes with a 90-night sleep trial, which is shorter than the industry-standard 100-night trial. IKEA’s policy only allows a one-time exchange or a store credit refund rather than cash back. If you exchange the mattress for a more expensive product, you’ll also need to cover the difference.

Returning the mattress doesn’t require re-rolling, but IKEA asks you to protect it during transit using a cover, plastic wrap, or an IKEA mattress bag (available at the delivery counter). Return pickup service may incur a fee and is done only if the mattress is clean and undamaged.

If you choose to keep ABROTTEN, it’s backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s limited warranty. While this is standard for the industry, competing brands like Juno offer a 15-year warranty, a longer 120-night sleep trial, free delivery to most locations in Canada, and the option of a full refund with free return pickup for flexibility and peace of mind.

IKEA ABROTTEN Mattress Construction

IKEA ABROTTEN is a foam mattress. It stands tall 8" tall, and has 3 layers. Foams used in this mattress are not CertiPUR-US® certified.

  • Layer 1: The comfort layer is 1.25" of high-resilience polyurethane foam. This layer provides pressure relief, without having too much “hug”, and prevents you from sinking too deeply into the mattress.
  • Layer 2: The second (transition) layer is 1.25" of polyurethane foam, which provides additional pressure-point relief. IKEA calls this layer “soft and resilient.”
  • Layer 3: The support layer is 5.5” of convoluted polyurethane support foam. This layer gives the mattress its sturdy structure so that you don’t sink too far into the upper layers, and also helps make it more breathable.

The IKEA ABROTTEN mattress cover is made of a blend of polyester and polyethylene and is lined with polypropylene, a breathable fabric that IKEA calls “sportswear fibres.” This gives the cover a soft and stretchy feel. Underneath the removable and machine-washable mattress cover, there is also an inner cover made of recycled polyester.

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns

Sea Horse mattresses are available for purchase from their retail locations. At the time of review publication, the company has four locations in Canada: Richmond, BC; Vancouver, BC; Edmonton, AB; and Markham, ON. However, not all store locations are mentioned on the Sea Horse website. If you live in one of these cities and decide to make a purchase, Sea Horse will deliver the mattress to your home for free. The mattress we ordered was personally delivered by the owner of the Sea Horse store two days after we purchased it.

If there isn’t a Sea Horse store in your area, the company says they can likely ship a mattress to your address. While purchases can’t be made from the Sea Horse website, you may be able to place an order over the phone or via email and have a Sea Horse mattress shipped directly to you. Shipping and delivery fees may apply.

Your Sea Horse mattress will come wrapped in two protective layers. The inner layer is plastic, and the outer is lined and reinforced paper packaging. The corners of the mattress are also protected by cardboard encasements. This helps protect the shape and appearance of the mattress while in transit.

When you receive your Sea Horse mattress, you’ll be the only person who has ever touched the mattress, apart from the people who made it. This is a positive if you’re conscious of germs or contamination. That said, it means the mattress comes with no sleep trial. This connection isn’t clear but was the rationale given for the lack of sleep trial when we visited the Sea Horse store. This also means you will likely not be able to return your mattress after purchase.

The Sea Horse Everlasting mattress we purchased came with a 10-year warranty. The terms of this warranty were not made clear to us, and there is limited information available online. We recommend confirming warranty details with a store clerk before you buy a Sea Horse mattress.

If you want a sleep trial to ensure your mattress is the perfect fit for you, consider Douglas Summit. All Douglas mattresses come with a 365-night sleep trial and 20-year warranty. Shipping and returns are free for most locations in Canada, and returned mattresses in good condition will be donated by the company. Your Douglas will also come with a free bedding bundle.

corner view showing the internal layers of the Sea Horse Everlasting mattress - Firm side

 

Sea Horse Mattress Construction

The Sea Horse Everlasting mattress stands 8” tall and has 3 layers. It’s flippable, so the comfort and support layers can be switched whenever you want. However, there was no law label on the mattress for us to examine what materials were used in the mattress layers and cover.

The layers listed below presume that the “top” layer is the Firm side of the mattress.

  • Layer 1: The first layer of this mattress is about 6.5” of high-density foam. This layer acts as the comfort layer if you’re sleeping on the Firm side, or the support layer if you’re sleeping on the Soft side. This layer is what gives this mattress its very firm feel with almost no “sink.”
  • Layer 2: The second layer of this mattress is about 1” of a softer foam. When used on the Soft side, this layer will allow side sleepers to experience some slight pressure-point relief and body contouring.
  • Layer 3: The final layer of this mattress is an additional 0.5” of foam, which is designed to be the comfort layer if you decide to sleep on the Soft side. This layer of foam is quilted into the mattress’s cover.

When you use this mattress on the Soft side, you’ll benefit from the cushioning of the 1.5-2” of softer foam layers. If you sleep on the Firm side, these layers won’t affect the mattress’s firm feel. There is also a final ⅛” layer of foam incorporated into the top cover of the Sea Horse Everlasting mattress. Because this layer is so thin, we don’t add it to our official layer count.

The mattress cover is not removable or machine-washable, so any spills or stains will need to be spot-cleaned. According to the Sea Horse website, the cover is designed to be mold-mite resistant.

The Sea Horse website also advises you to flip your mattress once a month. This may not be ideal if you prefer one side of the mattress over the other.

Company Background

Sea Horse is a Hong Kong-based company founded around 1985. According to its website, it was the top-selling mattress brand in Hong Kong for 35 years. Recognized for its extra-firm mattresses, the brand has gained popularity in Canada, leading to Sea Horse opening four stores across the country.

Despite the brand’s popularity in some markets, limited information about the company is available online. Sea Horse mattress reviews aren’t available on the brand’s website, and the company isn’t listed on third-party review sites like Trustpilot or Better Business Bureau. Because Sea Horse mattresses don’t come with a sleep trial, you’ll need to visit a showroom to test a mattress in person.

 

Choose the mattress company that’s rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot and “A+” on BBB.
