The Douglas Original is our top pick for the best mattress-in-a-box in Canada. Douglas earned an overall score of 9.9/10 and performed well in third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us) for motion isolation and edge support. Douglas comes with a full 365-night sleep trial, free returns with pickup, a 20-year warranty, and a free sleep bundle, all at a price that won’t break the bank.
Buying a mattress used to mean showroom hopping, awkward sales pitches, and guessing how it would feel in your own home. The rise of bed-in-a-box options changed that, but not all of them deliver value or transparency. Douglas makes it simple: it shows up at your door, can be set up immediately, is designed for comfort and support, and gives you a full year to try it out.
With 16,300+ five-star reviews, the brand is well-loved by Canadians. Douglas provides a convenient option for shoppers who want quality without the fuss.
Finding the right affordable mattress takes more than just testing it out. Keep these key factors in mind to get the best value without compromising on comfort or quality:
Mattresses come in a variety of types, each offering different benefits depending on your sleep preferences and budget. Here’s a quick look at some of the most common and affordable mattress options:
A mattress-in-a-box is a mattress that’s compressed, rolled, and sealed in plastic, then packed into a compact box for easy shipping. Once it arrives at your door, you unbox it, cut away the plastic wrap, and watch it expand to its full shape.
Most mattresses take just a few hours to inflate, though some may take a full day to reach their final firmness and height.
This shipping method skips the showroom altogether. You can shop from home, compare features, and order online without the pressure of in-store sales. Mattresses in a box come in different styles, including foam, hybrid, and latex models. Many brands also offer long sleep trials and return policies, so you can test the mattress at home and decide if it’s the right fit for you.
Yes, buying a mattress online is safe. Most brands offer a sleep trial, so you can test it at home before deciding to keep it. Trusted companies also back their products with clear return policies, solid warranties, and accessible customer service. Reviews from other buyers can also give you helpful insights.
They’re convenient, often more affordable, and save you the hassle of visiting a physical store. You can browse options online, compare features and prices, and have your new mattress shipped right to your front door. No salespeople, and no need to strap a mattress to the roof of your car.
One of the biggest perks? Most brands give you a sleep trial, usually 100 nights or more, so you can try the mattress in your own home. If it’s not the right fit, many companies offer return options. Some even pick it up and refund you in full.
Because mattress-in-a-box brands don’t need physical stores, they can offer lower prices for similar or better quality compared to traditional retail. And since the mattress is rolled and vacuum-sealed, it’s easier to move through doorways or up stairs, making it a smart choice for small bedrooms or apartment living.
Here’s how to unbox one safely:
Always check the brand’s instructions, because setup steps (and expansion times) can vary.
These third-party engineers apply a consistent testing process to every mattress using a detailed framework. Every mattress is tested the same way, whether it’s foam or hybrid. Because these types perform differently, we rate them on separate scales to ensure the scores are fair and meaningful.
We believe independent testing is essential to producing reliable and meaningful comparisons. That's why all test results are reviewed and signed off by an APEGA-certified engineer, operating under a strict code of ethics.
We use the testing results and over 40 criteria to build our scoring methodology.
Tests and reviews without this level of professional oversight may be more prone to errors and unintended bias.
Top Pick 2025
9.9/10
A top pick for Canadian sleepers, the Douglas Original uses cooling gel foam and support foam to offer balanced comfort. It comes with a free bedding bundle, a 365-night sleep trial, and a 20-year warranty.
The product details in each review reflect how the mattress performed at the time we purchased and tested it, as shown by the “Published” date.
Since brands can update their materials, pricing, or availability over time, we also note when the product was originally purchased, either directly in the article or on our disclaimer page, to maintain clarity and transparency.
If you see an “Updated” tag on a page with a more recent date than the published date, it simply means we’ve made editorial changes. It does not necessarily indicate any update to the mattress or its test data.
Finally, unless otherwise stated, any mention of where a mattress is made refers specifically to the product we received and tested.
