TOP 5 Best Memory Foam Mattresses in Canada

Another model I want to introduce to you in this review of top-rated memory foam mattresses in Canada is the Polysleep. This bed doesn’t use standard memory foam, but having tested it, I found it to be pretty close to how memory foam beds feel. What’s more, it exceeds them in terms of edge support and the ability to resist sagging. So, let’s see what it can offer.

The most prominent feature of the Polysleep is its reinforced perimeter. The mattress has a built-in support frame along the edges. It’s made of very dense foam and offers support no worse than hybrid beds of the same price segment do. So, if you love to sleep closer to the edge or share a bed with someone, this is an unbeatable feature for you.

Also, the mattress has low motion transfer thanks to an upper comfort layer made of hybrid foam. This foam absorbs movements without limiting your mobility. Also, the layer has perforations around the surface, which helps withdraw body heat and prevents you from sleeping hot.

Finally, the Polysleep features a liquid-repellent cover, which means that it’s resistant to spills and stains and will be easier to maintain. Just throw the cover into the washer and enjoy a fresh look.

I really liked sleeping on and testing the Polysleep mattress. The combo of durable materials and great edge support resulted in a supportive bed that will serve you for years.

And the last mattress I can surely place in a row with the best memory foam mattresses in Canada I’ve reviewed above is the Endy. Although this bed doesn’t use traditional memory foam, it uses proprietary materials that can easily offer you the same pressure relief.

The Endy is a three-layer mattress that is 10 inches high. This means it’s a good addition to higher bed frames that won’t turn your bed into a mountain you have to climb. The upper layer is very soft and conforms to your body curves precisely, but a more rigid transitional layer and a dense base resist the pressure your body creates, which results in a medium-firm feel.

The pressure-relieving properties of the Endy are off the charts. The soft layer cushions your body really well and relaxes the stiff points in your hips, lower back, and shoulders, depending on the sleeping position you prefer.

The cover is incredibly soft and has a bit of quilting and a nice diamond pattern. The quilting doesn’t interfere with the mattress feel, so it’s rather an aesthetic thing. Also, the cover can be removed for washing, which makes the maintenance of the bed very easy.

I think the Endy is a great investment for those who enjoy the feel of foam mattresses. It offers a good amount of cradling, doesn’t sleep hot, and seems very durable.

Other Considerations When Shopping for a Memory Foam Mattress

So, at this point, you probably understand what makes a good memory foam mattress and how to choose a model that would work for you.

Here’s the deal though:

There are certain factors that some users neglect (or forget about) when it comes to shopping. However, they are still just as important. And paying attention to those details can help make a better choice. So, let’s take a look at them:

• Sleep trial. Here’s the deal: most memory foam mattresses require a break-in period. To put it simply, your new mattress will need time to adapt to your body (just like your body will need to get used to a new bed, probably). Therefore, the first time you lie down on your new mattress, you might not feel super comfortable. You will need to give it a few nights to understand how the mattress really feels. And if it isn’t 100% comfortable, a sleep trial will allow you to return your mattress for a full refund. It’s a crucial aspect that would be especially helpful for uncertain shoppers (someone who isn't sure what they need).
• Warranty. This one will protect you and guarantee your peace of mind. An extended warranty period can be a good indication that the mattress is quality-made, so look for companies that cover at least 10 years of use. Also, pay attention to what exactly the warranty covers. For instance, foam tends to develop body impressions or sagging after some time (especially cheap, low-density foams), so make sure the warranty covers this issue before finalizing your purchase.
• Size. Now, I’m sure you know how big your mattress should be. Let me just warn you about one little thing: memory foam mattresses usually have rather weak edges. This means your sleeping area will actually be smaller than the mattress size. Therefore, if you require more space (or share your bed with a partner), you might want to think about getting a bigger foam mattress.
• Cover material. The most common options these days include pure cotton, Tencel, bamboo, polyester, and natural + synthetic blends. Many users prefer cotton due to its breathability and good moisture absorbency (1). Tencel and bamboo are also natural fabrics that offer proper air circulation and could aid cooler sleep. However, polyester or blended covers are a bit easier to care for. They also tend to be a bit sturdier and start showing signs of wear and tear later (in most cases). Nonetheless, you should remember that polyester and other synthetic fabrics aren’t that breathable. Therefore, they might not work for hot sleepers or someone who experiences night sweats frequently.
• Budget. Allow me to share just a few tips. First, if you decide on your budget from the very beginning, you will quickly narrow down the list of options (which will make the decision-making process easier). Second of all, keep in mind that many mattress companies offer financing to the customer. You can pay for your new mattress in smaller amounts gradually if you want to put less stress on your budget. And finally, if you wish to save more, you can shop around the holiday season when most mattress companies offer very attractive discounts.
• Safety certifications. You are probably aware that the foam manufacturing process involves various chemicals, including fire retardants. Some of them can emit VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) which may be harmful if inhaled. That’s why a good memory foam mattress has to be safety certified (as proof that the manufacturer didn’t use any harmful or potentially hazardous substances in the process). Look for such certifications as CertiPUR, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), GreenGuard, Oeko-Tex, etc. (2).
