Question 1

What is the best mattress for back pain in Canada?

Accepted Answer

The Endy Mattress is rated the best mattress for back pain in Canada by Sleep Foundation (2026). Its medium-firm feel (6.5/10) balances spinal alignment with pressure relief at the hips and shoulders — the two most common pain points for back sleepers and side sleepers. See our full back pain guide.

Question 2

What is the best cooling mattress in Canada?

Accepted Answer

Endy is Canada's most-trusted mattress brand (BrandSpark, 8 consecutive years) and is engineered specifically to address heat retention — the main problem with traditional memory foam. Its open-cell foam and cooling gel work together to regulate temperature across all four Canadian seasons. See our full cooling guide.

Question 3

Why does my foam mattress sleep hot?

Accepted Answer

Traditional memory foam traps heat because it's dense and slow-responding — it absorbs warmth from your body and holds onto it throughout the night. The result is a mattress that sleeps progressively warmer, especially in summer or in a heated bedroom.  The Endy Mattress is built differently. Instead of traditional memory foam, Endy uses a proprietary open-cell foam with cooling gel infused into the comfort layer. Open-cell foam allows air to move freely through the mattress rather than getting absorbed and held. The Endy Hybrid takes this further with pocket coils that increase airflow through the mattress core. Both models feature breathable covers designed to work with the foam layers, not against them.  When comparing mattresses for cooling, look at the type of foam used, whether coils are included, and how the cover and comfort layers are designed to manage heat. Explore our mattress comparison page to see how Endy stacks up against other brands on cooling and foam construction.

Question 4

What is the difference between a foam mattress and a hybrid mattress?

Accepted Answer

A foam mattress is built entirely from foam layers and is known for pressure relief, motion isolation, and a cushioned, cradling feel. A hybrid mattress combines foam comfort layers with individually wrapped pocket coils underneath, adding airflow, edge support, and a more responsive, easier-to-move-on surface.  The right choice usually comes down to sleep style and personal preference. Foam tends to suit sleepers who prioritize pressure relief and minimal motion transfer. Hybrid tends to suit those who want more structure, bounce, or airflow — or who share a bed and need stronger edge support.  Endy offers both.

Question 5

Are bed-in-a-box mattresses as good as traditional mattresses?

Accepted Answer

Yes — bed-in-a-box mattresses use the same quality foams and construction as the mattresses you'd find in a traditional showroom. The only difference is how they're delivered: compressed for shipping and rolled into a compact, easy-to-move box. Once unboxed, the mattress expands to its full size and shape within a few hours.  Buying direct also comes with meaningful advantages over the traditional showroom model: a 365-night sleep trial so you can test the mattress at home over time, easy returns if it's not the right fit, and transparent pricing without retail markups.  Endy launched as a direct-to-consumer brand with one goal: to make better sleep more accessible for Canadians. And if you'd still prefer to try before you buy, Endy mattresses are available in select stores across Canada.

Question 6

How long should a good mattress last?

Accepted Answer

Most high-quality mattresses are built to last 7–10 years, depending on the materials, construction quality, and how the mattress is used. Foam density, coil durability in hybrid models, and the overall support structure all play a role in how well a mattress holds up over time.  The warranty is often the clearest signal of how long a brand expects its mattress to stay comfortable and supportive. Endy backs its mattresses with a 15-year warranty — one of the longest in Canada — because we're confident in their long-term performance. You can learn more about Endy's warranty details here.
