Juno and Brunswick are two Canadian mattress brands sold by bed-in-a-box company GoodMorning.com. While Juno is a value buy designed for buyers who want to sleep comfortably without breaking the bank, Brunswick targets shoppers who want a competitively-priced blend of modern and classic qualities from their mattresses.

Juno

The Juno mattress was launched in August of 2019 by the Canadian mattress-in-a-box company GoodMorning.com. Designed, sold, and manufactured exclusively in Canada, Juno is the logical next step in the progression of GoodMorning.com’s mission to make high-quality sleep more affordable throughout Canada. This value mattress comes with all the features GoodMorning.com is famous for, such as the 120-night trial, 15-year warranty, and outstanding Canadian customer care – and does so at a very affordable price.

Brunswick

Brunswick was introduced by GoodMorning.com in late 2018 as a classic spring mattress, made for modern Canadians. The design, build, and comfort are meant to be refreshingly simple and familiar while cherry picking some of the best innovations in modern mattress making (e.g. hemp-based fabric, zoned pocketed springs). The spring-foam hybrid is sold online, compressed in a box, and shipped directly to customers’ doors throughout the country.

Thanks to modern compression methods and the rising popularity of the bed-in-a-box, mattresses can now be shipped far more efficiently and conveniently than ever before. Customers no longer need to take a day off work to accept a delivery. Boxed beds are now delivered with the same convenience as most Amazon orders. Some bed-in-a-box companies even offer same-day delivery to certain areas.

Delivery

Both Juno and Brunswick use FedEx to deliver their mattresses directly to customers’ doors while also allowing for free shipping throughout Canada. Customers can expect their new mattress to arrive within 3 to 10 business days following order confirmation.

Trial Period

Like many bed-in-a-box mattress brands, Juno and Brunswick both come with in-home sleep trials. With a 120-night sleep trial, Juno and Brunswick boast one of the longest sleep trials in the mattress industry.

Returns and Additional Fees

If a customer wishes to return their Juno or Brunswick mattress within the sleep trial period, both companies will arrange to pick up their respective mattress and issue a full refund. There are no additional return or stocking fees for either the Juno or Brunswick mattresses.

Delivery Times & Opening the Box

The Juno and Brunswick mattresses arrived within the expected delivery times. Both mattresses arrived well-protected in their respective boxes where heavy-duty plastic layers were used to prevent damage during the shipping process.

Each mattress box was sealed with heavy-duty tape. Customers will need to use scissors or a knife to open either box. To prevent injuries as well as to avoid harming your new mattress, please remember to be extra careful when using sharp objects to remove the packaging. 

Setting up the Mattress

Once opened, each compressed mattress is easy to remove from the box. We recommend a ‘tip-and-pull’ motion to slowly slide the mattress out from its cardboard container. Simply tip the box from a vertical position down to its side, and then pull the lightweight box away from the bundled mattress. It’s most efficient to do this process in the room where you intend to use the mattress.

Both mattresses are protected with multiple layers of heavy-duty plastic to compress it in a vacuum seal and keep it tightly rolled up for shipping.

Customers will need to unwrap the outer layer in order to unroll the mattress, which will still be in its compressed form. Some helpful advice at this stage is to place the rolled up mattress onto the designated bed frame. Next, like the end of a roll of tape, find and peel back the outer layer of plastic. You can use the momentum of unrolling the compressed mattress along the bed frame to help remove the rest of this layer, which could be up to a few meters long. After completing this process, the mattress will be lying unrolled before you. 

Expansion Time

Next, cut the final layer of plastic. The vacuum seal now broken, the mattress will quickly begin to decompress. Remove this final layer of plastic as the mattresses expands to its full height. For Juno, full expansion took around 2 minutes while Brunswick took around 6 minutes to expand.

Juno is a combination foam mattress that uses foams of different densities and features to deliver cooling comfort and support to sleepers. Brunswick is a hybrid mattress that uses a combination of foam and springs to offer comfort, support, and pressure-point relief.

Both Juno and Brunswick are available in only one firmness option. This ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach is quite common among mattress-in-a-box retailers.

Juno vs Brunswick Mattress Layers

Juno Mattress Layers

The Juno mattress contains two layers of foam. Like many combination foam mattresses available on the market today, these two layers work together to provide comfort and support. 

• First layer: 2 inches of Full-Body Cooling Gel Foam. This top layer offers contoured comfort, as well as overall cooling and breathability. Foam density: 2.5 lbs/ft³.

• Second layer: 6 inches of Total Support Foam. This bottom layer allows Juno to provide support and firmness to sleepers. This layer improves overall edge support while reducing motion transfer. Foam density: 1.8 lbs/ft³.

Brunswick Mattress Layers

The Brunswick mattress contains five primary layers with a few other transition materials. Like many of the multi-layer boxed mattresses on the market today, each layer of the Brunswick mattress works with the others to create a distinct level of comfort and support.

• First layer: 0.25 inches of holofibre fill. This fluffy and lightweight material fills the tufting of the cover and gives the mattress its distinct shape and initial softness.

• Second layer: 0.75 inches of super-soft gel foam. This first layer of foam is notable for its softness, contributing to the pillowy feel and comfort you experience as you lie down on the mattress. Layer density: 1.8 lbs/ft³.

• Third layer: 1 inch of cooling gel memory foam. This upper layer works with the surrounding foam to provide comfort and heat regulation. Foam density: 2.5 lbs/ft³.

• Fourth layer: 1 inch of high-density zoned eco-foam. This soy-infused transition layer provides body contouring and pressure-point relief in the neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. Divided into three sections, the central zone has increased firmness to complement the zoned springs described below. The foam is created from a blend of traditional polyurethane and environmentally friendly soy oil. Foam density: 1.8 lbs/ft³.

• Fifth layer: 8 inches of multi-tempered pocketed springs with a 3-inch foam encasement perimeter. This layer of individually wrapped springs contributes substantially to the mattresses perceived firmness, as well as its levels of support and overall integrity. The spring design prevents motion transfer due to its independent action. Like the foam layer immediately above it, this layer is zoned. The central third has thicker springs that take more weight to compress. The entire layer is surrounded by a rigid foam encasement to enhance edge support. Coil count (queen): 828.

Of note: Two layers of 0.5-inch poly fibre are also included in the construction, one on either side of the spring layer. This additional inch accounts for the overall 12-inch height of the mattress.

Juno vs Brunswick Mattress Cover

Juno Mattress Cover

Juno’s cover design is an homage to the iconic striped wool socks Canadians have worn for generations. The grey, white, and red pattern is made up of a soft blend of polyester and viscose. The red strip running across one end of the mattress is further decorated with white maple leafs to complete the brand’s Canadian identity. Finally, there’s a zipper underneath the mattress that makes it possible for you to remove the cover if necessary for easier care and maintenance.

Brunswick Mattress Cover

Appearance

The Brunswick mattress has a distinct cover that makes it instantly recognizable among its competitors in the online mattress industry. The white Euro-top cover is tufted in channels from end to end along its top portion and sidewalls. This gently lifts the fabric, making the mattress seem soft and inviting even before you lie down. Most notably, the green checkered gusset spans the full perimeter and gives Brunswick its colour and personality.

Materials

Brunswick’s white cover is a modern blend of polyester, hemp, and spandex. These stretchable and breathable materials are further strengthened by hemp, a material that few other bed-in-a-box mattresses have yet to adopt. Hemp is naturally antimicrobial and has three times the tensile strength of cotton. The Brunswick top cover is not machine washable and can be spot cleaned only.

Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious when making purchases. Retailers both in and out of the mattress industry have been incorporating more eco-friendly and ethical policies when selling products and choosing suppliers. GoodMorning.com Inc. carried out a survey in February 2017, discovering that almost 50% of Canadians are willing to spend more money for more environmentally friendly products. Therefore, in every review on Mattress-Reviews.com, we will highlight each mattress company’s green philosophy, as well as how prominent their policies are on their websites.

Feel & Firmness	Juno	Brunswick
Feel:	Medium-firm	Medium-firm
Firmness:	5.6 / 10	6.2 / 10
Edge Support:	4.0 / 10	6.3 / 10
Motion Isolation:	6.2 / 10	6.7 / 10
Bounce:	2.6 / 10	5.6 / 10

Feel & Firmness

According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the firmness and feel of the Juno mattress and Brunswick mattress aren’t too far apart:

• The Juno is a medium-firm mattress rated at 5.6 / 10 on the firmness scale. The Juno mattress offers support, comfort, and contouring with some ‘hug.’
• The Brunswick is a medium-firm mattress rated at 6.2 / 10 on the firmness scale. The Brunswick offers supportiveness and comfort with just the right amount of ‘hug.’

Edge Support

Foam mattresses are not known for their edge support; in fact, it is often one of the main issues customers have when moving from innerspring mattresses to foam. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Juno and Brunswick mattresses have very different edge support scores:

• The Juno mattress is rated at 4.0 / 10 on the edge support scale. 
• The Brunswick mattress is rated at 6.3 / 10 on the edge support scale. 

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation in foam mattresses is usually very good and one of the main reasons couples make the switch from innerspring to foam. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), both Juno and Brunswick performed above-average for motion isolation:

• The Juno mattress has above-average motion isolation. It is rated at 6.2 / 10 on the motion isolation scale. 
• The Brunswick mattress has above-average motion isolation. It is rated at 6.7 / 10 on the motion isolation scale.

Bounce

Due to the fact that motion isolation for foam mattresses is generally very good, bounce is generally very low. As a general rule, hybrid mattresses generally have higher bounce scores than their foam counterparts. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), Juno and Brunswick vary significantly:

• The Juno mattress is rated at 2.6 / 10 on the bounce scale.
• The Brunswick mattress is rated at 5.6 / 10 on the bounce scale.
