Canada's Best Mattresses for Better Sleep (2026)
As the nights get longer and the mornings get cooler, the bedroom becomes the room most of us rely on. The best mattress for better sleep matches how you sleep. Looking for the best mattress in 2026? Ashley Canada sells mattresses from Sealy, Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, Nectar, Ashley Sleep, and more and this guide will walk you through by sleeping position, firmness and type to help you find the perfect mattress.
What Is the Best Mattress for Your Sleeping Position?
What Is the Best Mattress for Side Sleepers?
The best mattress for side sleepers is medium to medium-soft, because side sleeping puts the most pressure on the shoulders and hips. Memory foam and hybrid mattresses at Ashley Canada cradle those areas while keeping your spine level. If the mattress is too firm, you may wake up with sore shoulders and hips.
The Nectar Luxe Memory Foam Mattress is a good example. Its medium-plush feel and therapeutic memory foam cushion the shoulders and hips, the cooling cover helps you sleep cool, and the foam minimizes motion transfer.
What Is the Best Mattress for Back Sleepers?
Back sleepers do best on a medium to medium-firm mattress that supports the natural curve of the lower back. Hybrids and firmer foam mattresses at Ashley Canada hold the hips up without feeling hard. If your lower back is sore in the morning, your mattress may be too soft.
What Is the Best Mattress for Stomach Sleepers?
Stomach sleepers need a medium-firm to firm mattress, because a soft surface lets the hips sink and can strain the lower back. Firmer innerspring and hybrid mattresses at Ashley Canada keep your body level, and a flatter, more responsive surface tends to work better than deep contouring.
What Is the Best Mattress for Combination Sleepers?
Combination sleepers do best on a medium hybrid or responsive foam mattress that makes it easy to change positions. Options at Ashley Canada balance cushioning with bounce, so you never feel stuck when you turn over.
The Tempur-Pedic LuxeAlign Medium Hybrid 13 Inch Mattress is built with movement in mind. Its hybrid material is designed for easier movement in bed, and its 5-Zone Ergonomic Support Layer helps keep your spine supported.
How Do You Choose a Mattress?
To choose a mattress, start with how you sleep, then narrow your options by firmness, type, size and budget.
-
Start with how you sleep. Your usual position decides how firm the mattress should feel.
-
Pick a feel. Choose the firmness that keeps your spine straight and eases pressure points.
-
Pick a type. Foam, hybrid and innerspring each feel different under you.
-
Pick a size. A queen suits most couples, while a king gives each person more room.
-
Set a budget. Decide on a range first, then compare options within it. Financing can help spread the cost.
If you want to start at a lower price, the Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress is the most affordable of the mattresses featured here. It has a medium-firm feel, a breathable cooling cover and therapeutic memory foam.

What Do Mattress Firmness Levels Mean?
Mattress firmness describes how much a mattress gives under your weight, usually on a scale from soft to extra firm. Mattresses at Ashley Canada range from plush to firm, so you can find the feel that suits your body and the way you sleep.
• Plush or soft: sinks in and hugs you, which can be lovely for lighter side sleepers.
• Medium: the happy middle, with cushion and support in balance.
• Firm: a flat, steady surface with little sink, often the best fit for stomach sleepers.
Heavier sleepers often prefer firmer support, while lighter sleepers may need a softer surface to feel any contouring. Firmness is personal, which is why testing matters.
Which Type of Mattress Is Best: Foam, Hybrid or Innerspring?
The best mattress for you depends on how you like to feel at night: foam for contouring, hybrid for balance and innerspring for a bouncier, more traditional feel. Ashley Canada sells all three.
• Memory foam: hugs your body, eases pressure and absorbs motion, so you feel less of your partner’s movement.
• Hybrid: coils for support, foam for comfort and more airflow, which sleepers who run warm tend to appreciate
The Tempur-Pedic ProSense Medium Hybrid 12 Inch Mattress pairs pressure-relieving material with premium innersprings.
• Innerspring: responsive, breathable and often easier on the budget.
What Size Mattress Do You Need?
Most mattresses come in four main sizes: twin, double, queen and king. Mattresses at Ashley Canada come in these standard sizes, so you can match the mattress to your room and to everyone who shares the bed.
• Twin: 38 x 75 inches (about 97 x 190 cm). Suits kids’ rooms and single sleepers.
• Double: 54 x 75 inches (about 137 x 190 cm). A comfortable fit for one adult who likes room to stretch.
• Queen: 60 x 80 inches (about 152 x 203 cm). A popular choice for couples.
• King: 76 x 80 inches (about 193 x 203 cm). Gives two sleepers room to spread out.
Measure your bedroom before you shop, and leave space to walk around the bed.

Mattress FAQs
Are Ashley Canada mattresses good quality?

How Does Mattress Delivery Work at Ashley Canada?
Ashley Canada offers white glove delivery for mattresses. The delivery team brings your new mattress into your home, sets it up, removes the packaging and, where available in your region, takes away your old mattress. They call the day before with a 3-hour window.
When Should You Replace Your Mattress?
Most mattresses last about 7 to 10 years, but your body will often tell you sooner. If yours sags, feels lumpy or leaves you sore in the morning, it is time to replace it.
Once you have the right one, protect it. Ashley Canada offers 10 years of product protection on most mattresses, with accidental damage covered from day one, including cuts, tears, punctures and burns not caused by fire.
How do you choose a mattress when you and your partner sleep differently?
Start with a medium mattress, the usual middle ground, then look for good motion isolation and edge support so each of you has room to sleep your way. Foam mattresses and hybrids with individually wrapped coils tend to reduce motion transfer. Test the mattress together in store.
