Let’s start off by acknowledging that buying mattresses isn’t the most fun way to spend a Saturday. To be completely honest, we’d rather do anything else. And do you ever really know how you’re going to like a mattress after laying on it for a few minutes in the store while a salesperson looks over you. Hello awkward. That being said, buying mattresses is unavoidable and if you’re reading this, it’s likely your time to go mattress hunting (lucky you). Well, we’re here to help. In this blog post, we’re going to provide a comparison between made in Canada mattresses from two great Canadian brands.
We promise that buying a mattress doesn’t need to be awkward or tedious. We’re happy to report that there are Canadian brands out there that have simplified the mattress buying process and made it all a lot more enjoyable.

The main difference between these two made in Canada mattresses is that one is compressed and one is not. In this article, we’re going to review all the details so you can make an informed decision on what is best for you, all from the comfort of your home.
First up we have the medium-soft Lunazen mattress that’s handcrafted in Vancouver. Lunazen is currently delivering their mattresses to residents of British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Lunazen mattresses are never compressed and have a few key components that stand out. Their 3″ memory foam not only adapts to your individual body weight for better support and weight distribution, but it also reduces the temperature by 1-2 degrees. So if you tend to run on the hot side when you sleep, this gel infused memory foam is a great option.
The other two components that make up the Lunazen mattress is the Ecotex soy foam that’s made in Canada from natural plant-based oils. So you can rest easy knowing your mattress doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals and their 8″ pocket coils help ensure there’s no motion transfer.
Lunazen offers a 100 day sleep trial so you can make sure your mattress is the perfect fit for you.
Outside of the specific details of the mattress, Lunazen as a company stands out because they offer to remove your old mattress and box spring and recycle it for you after they’ve delivered and set up your new mattress. So you really do get to stay home and relax while everything is taken care of for you. They’re also committed to partnering with local shelters to help make sure people have somewhere to rest their heads. Now that’s a Canadian company we can get behind.
Next up we have Toronto based company, slmbr mattress. The main difference with this mattress is that it’s shipped to you compressed. Don’t worry, the compression doesn’t impact quality and your mattress is ready to be used within a few hours of unpacking it. Let’s get into all the details about the slmbr mattress and how this Canadian company is making buying a mattress super easy.
The first thing we noticed and loved about slmbr mattress is that they offer free shipping across Canada. No matter where you live in Canada, you can have the slmbr mattress shipped right to you and because it’s compressed you don’t have to have all your friends over to actually get it in your house and up the stairs. The free shipping offer is a huge bonus because shipping prices in Canada can be outrageous.
In terms of the details of the actual slmbr mattress, there are a few things that stand out. They’ve infused moisture-wicking bamboo into the top layer of the mattress which, along with the cooling gel, helps regulate temperature during all Canadian seasons. This also means the mattress is hypoallergenic which is great for anyone with allergies.
Another detail we love is that this 9.5″ medium-firm mattress has a removable top cover so if you ever need to clean it, you can easily remove it, wash it, and put it back on.
To be sure you love your slmbr mattress, they offer a 120 night trial and cover the return shipping fee if you decide this isn’t the mattress for you. This really takes the risk out of mattress buying and ending up with a mattress that you don’t love.
There you have it! Hopefully this comparison between two made in Canada mattresses helps you decide which mattress is the perfect fit for you and that you discovered that mattress buying has changed and doesn’t need to be a task you dread. Happy shopping!
