In the last 10 years, there has been a massive change in the way that people buy mattresses. In-store shopping has quickly given way to direct online brands that offer more in the way of sleep trials and product value versus shopping in-store.
While the in-store experience is still essential for some shoppers that want to try their mattress before purchasing, the difference in perks and discounts online often brings shoppers back.
This trend has quickly become the norm in both the U.S. and Canada, and with more brand offerings than ever available in Canada, we can say goodbye to the days of settling for less comfort and higher prices.
Even though there is more selection than ever, getting bogged down in all the confusing choices can be a challenge. The first, most important element in selecting the right Canadian mattress is choosing the right firmness. Firmness and comfort is highly dependent on body type and sleeping position. Look at the chart above! It shows the ideal firmness for side sleepers and combination sleepers--the most common sleep positions. As you can see, the right mattress firmness changes for different body sizes.
For those that are looking for something from a Canadian brand, there are some great options to consider: including Silk & Snow, Polysleep, and Douglas. These mattresses have solid ratings from fellow Canadians and their brands are especially tailored to Canadian customer experiences specifically.
Those that have an open mind towards U.S. brands, should also consider DreamCloud and Nectar, some of the most popular mattress brands in the U.S., for their high value and high end comfort for the price. With extremely competitive entry-prices in Canada, their mattresses offer great all-around options.
