Best Firm Mattress in Canada: Tested 30+ Mattresses for Maximum Support Without the Sink

Firm mattresses are difficult to find, especially when most of the options on the Canadian market are aimed at the widest range of sleepers possible. Since firm mattresses aren’t as popular as medium-firm options, there are fewer to choose from. Thankfully, we’ve combed through the available options to find you our favourites for the best firm mattresses in Canada. There is an option on this list for everyone who appreciates a firm mattress, regardless of their other sleeping preferences.

Below, sleep experts will weigh in on everything you need to know about:

• Mattresses that are truly firm, not just super supportive
• Options that are better for back pain and alignment than standard mattresses
• Luxury hotel-style options and firmer beds for your best sleep at home
• Mattresses ranging from $799 CAD

Testing the Best Firm Mattresses in Canada

Our Scoring Process for Firm Mattresses

Firm mattresses should meet a specific set of criteria to be considered firm. We look at scoring and feedback about how each mattress feels, as well as how it worked for those who specifically like firm mattresses. We took all of the performance scores we had at our disposal to create a score that encompassed all of them.

Our Tests for Firm Mattresses

We tested our firm mattresses in much the same way as we tested all of our mattresses. We put them through simulation tests as well as practical tests, using both our equipment and our team of testers. We measured the results of motion isolation tests, temperature control tests, edge support tests, and more. 

How We Chose These Firm Mattresses

The firm mattresses that made our list were selected after a tireless gauntlet of tests, performed by both our team of testers and our at-home testing team. The mattresses that made this list were the ones that performed the best over multiple categories, including those we felt were most important for firm mattresses.

Logan & Cove Frontier Mattress Construction

• Quilted Euro-Top Cover. The top of the mattress features a plush Euro-top cover, which includes hollow-fibre fill and quilted cooling foam. These layers are quilted into the cover, which uses CryoFusion cooling nanofibres.
• 1” ecoLuxe Gel Foam. The top layer of the mattress is a comfortable, responsive alternative to standard memory foam. It uses less carbon input than standard memory foam, with cooling properties to neutralize heat.
• 1” Aeroduct Micro Coils. The first layer of coils is micro-coils. These smaller coils help with contouring, reducing strain on your joints and providing better relief from pressure points.
• 1 ⅝” Elastex Foam. A transition layer separates the two coil layers. Elastex is a latex-alternative foam that retains its responsive and comfortable properties. This layer cushions the coils so you won’t feel them when you sink into the mattress. At the same time, it isolates motion and helps with spinal alignment.
• 9” Pocket Coil Support Layer. Zoned pocket coils at the base of the mattress provide firm edge support, as well as better lumbar and hip support. The firmer coils through the centre of the mattress help with alignment, while the softer coils at your shoulders reduce pressure for side sleepers.

Logan & Cove Frontier Mattress Performance Scores

Temperature Control – 9.2/10

Hybrid mattresses provide breathability that you won’t find in all-foam mattresses. That’s one of the reasons that this mattress is great for those who sleep hot. The coils cycle cooler air through the mattress, allowing heat to vent properly. We saw this happen in real time during our testing. Temperatures would increase and then decrease again immediately because the mattress breathes so well.

Motion Isolation – 7.1/10

Like most hybrids, this mattress suffers when it comes to motion isolation. You’ll be able to feel a lot from the other side of the bed, including some smaller movements. Every round of tests returned underwhelming results. Though this mattress includes some light motion isolation, it doesn’t hold up for couples with restless partners.

Pressure Relief- 9.4/10

The plush Euro-top helps with pressure relief, making this mattress great for side sleepers. The layers cushion your body where it presses into the mattress, so you can sleep comfortably throughout the night. Most of our testers loved how this mattress felt even after extended use, and none of them had issues with pressure points.

Ease of Movement – 9.3/10

Despite its thicker comfort layers, the Logan & Cove Frontier makes it easy to move around. We measured a quick response time. When you move out of your body indents, they reform quickly so you don’t have to struggle to get to a new position.

Who is the Logan & Cove Frontier For? 

• Canadians who need lumbar support. The zoned coils at the core of the mattress help align your spine, reducing pressure and discomfort. This mattress is great for those with back pain.
• Those who sleep hot. If you sleep hot, you will appreciate the breathability at the top of this mattress. Dual coil layers also introduce cooler air throughout the mattress.
• Side sleepers who need pressure relief. The softer layers at the top of this mattress make it great for those who need pressure relief. The layer of micro-coils also helps contour the layers of your body. This is especially comfortable for side sleepers.

Who Should Avoid the Logan & Cove Frontier?

• Those who don’t want to sink into the mattress. Canadians who like firmer mattresses sometimes don’t want to sink too far, which can be a problem with the Logan & Cove Frontier.

“Who knew that all-foam mattresses could offer this much support? We’re thoroughly impressed.”

— Slumber.ca Verified Mattress Review (Douglas Original)

Douglas Original Mattress Construction

• CoolSense Cover. The cover of the Douglas Original is made with Infinitex fibres, which are breathable and sustainable. This cover is breathable, but it can also be removed and washed when it’s time to refresh your mattress.
• 2” ecoLight Cooling Gel Foam. The top layer of foam within the mattress is ecoLight cooling foam, which uses 40% less carbon than standard memory foam. This durable layer cushions pressure points, reduces heat, and remains responsive.
• 2” Premium Elastex Foam. A transition layer of Elastex foam, a latex alternative, cushions your deepest pressure points. It is made without the chemicals found in many latex mattresses, so it should be better for those who may have allergic reactions to latex.
• 6” Motion Isolation Support Foam. The base of the mattress is a supportive layer of motion isolation foam. This layer absorbs motion so it doesn’t wake you up, and you’ll feel very little from the other side of the bed as a result.

Douglas Original Mattress Performance Scores

Temperature Control – 9.3/10

While all-foam mattresses aren’t normally great at temperature control, this mattress is an exception. The cooling fibres within the breathable cover and the cooling gel foam work together to create a cooler sleeping experience. We saw a steady decline in higher temperatures throughout our testing, and our testers also reported a more comfortable experience than expected when it came to heat.

Motion Isolation – 9.8/10

As an all-foam mattress, we expected a great deal of motion isolation. However, this mattress offers more than we thought it would. There was hardly any measurable movement on the other side of the bed during our testing. Our testers didn’t report feeling anything, while we measured some light vibrations with our equipment. Either way, the mattress provides excellent motion isolation for couples with restless partners.

Pressure Relief – 9.3/10

The Douglas Original offers great pressure relief for a mattress that isn’t very thick. While heavier sleepers may need more pressure relief, this mattress is a solid option for most Canadians. While our heavier testers encountered some pressure, others didn’t note any specific pushback from the mattress. In most of our tests, this mattress received great scores in pressure relief.

Ease of Movement – 9.2/10

The layers of latex alternative and high-density memory foam alternative materials make it easy to move around on top of this mattress. You won’t sink too far in, meaning you won’t ever feel stuck in the mattress. While we measured some slower responses from the materials, you are less likely to feel trapped because it isn’t a pure memory foam mattress. The feedback from our testers confirmed this.

• Couples and cosleepers. Because the Douglas Original is an all-foam mattress, it isolates motion better than the hybrids on our list. If your partner is restless enough to keep you up at night, this mattress is a good choice.
• Eco-conscious Canadians. If you want to avoid buying a mattress that contributes to harming the environment, this might be the right option for you. The materials are made with the planet in mind, reducing carbon input and chemicals used throughout.
• Those who value the customer experience. Douglas offers some of the best company policies we’ve seen during our time with the Canadian sleep industry. It has a 365-night sleep trial, a 20-year warranty, and some of the best shipping and return policies you’ll find.

• Canadians who want a thicker mattress. At the end of the day, the Douglas Original is still a 10” mattress. It’s one of the best, but we understand that some users want a thicker mattress for a better comfort profile. Heavier sleepers may also benefit from a thicker mattress, especially if they find the Douglas Original too firm or uncomfortable.

Alternative Option

The Douglas Original performs great in most areas, but it lacks bounce. If you want more feedback from your mattress, consider a hybrid like the Silk & Snow Hybrid. With two firmness options to choose from and more bounce than your average bed-in-a-box mattress, this option will provide what you need.

Best Firm Construction – Silk & Snow Organic

Best Firm Construction
Silk & Snow Organic comes in three firmness options, including a Firm version that's perfect for this list.

• Temperature Control: 9.1/10
• Motion Isolation: 7.2/10
• Edge Support: 9.0/10
• Pressure Relief: 8.9/10
• Bounce: 7.8/10
• Eco: 10/10
• Response: 8.5/10
• Ease of Movement: 9.4/10
• Policies: 9/10

Highlights

• Three firmness levels, with Firm being a true firm option
• No weight limit, so even heavier sleepers can sleep comfortably
• The breathable design makes for better temperature control than most foam-based mattresses

“Silk & Snow Organic’s organic materials and Firm construction work perfectly for me. I need all the support I can get, and this mattress doesn’t disappoint.”

— Slumber.ca Verified Mattress Review (Silk & Snow Organic)

Silk & Snow Organic Mattress Construction

Firm Version

• GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton Cover. The cover is a comfortable organic cotton, breathable and soft for a better sleep experience overall.
• GOTS-Certified Quilted Wool Layer. A layer of organic wool acts as a natural fire barrier, but it also wicks away heat and moisture to reduce overheating throughout the night.
• GOLS-Certified Latex layer. A 0.8” layer of Dunlop latex creates a transition layer but also helps with pressure points and alignment. 
• Zoned Pocket Coil Base. The core of the mattress features extremely supportive zoned pocket coils, firmer through the centre of the mattress and softer near your shoulders.
• Edge Support Perimeter. A perimeter of stronger coils helps bolster the edges of the mattress, preventing sinking and sagging when you sit on the edge.
• Stabilizing Foam. A bottom layer of stabilizing foam helps the mattress keep its shape, reducing sagging at the coils over time.

Medium-Firm Version

• GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton Cover. Same as Firm version.
• GOTS-Certified Organic Wool Quilt Layer. Same as Firm version.
• Quilted Latex Layer. An 0.8″ layer of quilted latex helps bring additional support and keeps you comfortable at the top of the mattress.
• GOLS-Certified Latex Layer. This thicker latex layer is 1.5″, bringing deeper pressure relief and a touch of comfort to the Medium-Firm version.
• Zoned Pocket Coil Base. Same as Firm version.
• Edge Support Perimeter. Same as Firm version.
• Stabilizing Foam. Same as Firm version.

Plush Version

• GOTS-Certified Organic Cotton Cover. Same as Firm version.
• GOTS-Certified Organic Wool Quilt Layer. Same as Firm version.
• Quilted Latex Layer. Same as Medium-Firm version.
• GOLS-Certified Latex Layer. This layer is made of the same organic latex as the Medium-Firm version. In the Plush version, this layer is 3.5″ thick for premium pressure relief.
• Zoned Pocket Coil Base. Same as Firm version.
• Edge Support Perimeter. Same as Firm version.
• Stabilizing Foam. Same as Firm version.

We recommend the Firm or Medium-Firm version of the Silk & Snow Organic for those who want a firmer mattress.

Silk & Snow Organic Mattress Performance Scores

Temperature Control – 9.1/10

Coils and other breathable layers isolate heat, venting cooler air up through this mattress. The cover is also breathable enough to reduce temperatures. All but our hottest testers said they remained comfortable on this mattress throughout the night. We measured some heat build-up during our testing phases, but it dissipated at what we would consider a normal pace.

Motion Isolation – 7.2/10

Pocket coils make for poor motion isolation, especially when compared to all-foam mattresses. The coils allow more movement to make it to the other side of the bed. Testers felt a lot of motion during our practical tests, and our simulation tests returned consistently unfavourable results. If you aren’t worried about motion isolation, this won’t be a problem. However, if your partner is often restless or you are a light sleeper, you may want to choose a different mattress.

Pressure Relief-  8.9/10

Of course, this firm mattress doesn’t use a lot of thick comfort layers to keep you comfortable. It does a great job of supporting you and keeping you lifted out of the mattress, but you may notice some light pressure when you lay in the same spot for hours at a time. Most of our testers noticed a bit of pressure pushing back on them, but few of them developed uncomfortable pressure points. Heavier sleepers may have a harder time here.

Ease of Movement – 9.4/10

It’s easy to move around on the surface of the mattress. The latex is responsive and springs back into place quickly. The Firm version of the mattress doesn’t use as many thick layers, so you don’t sink as far into it. This means you can move around fairly easily and without any additional effort. Testers who move around a lot in their sleep didn’t notice any difficulty with movement when sleeping on the Firm version of this mattress.

Who is the Silk & Snow Organic For? 

• Those who want a truly firm mattress. While most of the firm mattresses we looked at are classified as ‘medium firm’, the firm version of this mattress is firm enough to satisfy those who need it.
• Eco-conscious Canadians. All of the materials used within the Silk & Snow Organic are certified to be all-natural, organic, and safe for use. 
• Heavy sleepers. The Silk & Snow Organic mattress has no weight limit. Its materials are supportive for all sleepers, so you don’t have to worry about it not holding up for you.

Who Should Avoid the Silk & Snow Organic? 

• Canadians who want bounce. If you want more feedback from your mattress, the Silk & Snow Organic might not be the best choice for it. Its minimal levels of bounce may not be enough for those who like a mattress that responds to their movements.

Alternative Option

The Silk & Snow Organic is an eco-conscious hybrid that features bounce but lacks when it comes to motion isolation. The Douglas Original may not be a hybrid, but it offers far better motion isolation and a similarly eco-conscious construction. However, the Douglas Original is not an organic mattress.

Best Hybrid – Silk & Snow Hybrid

Best Hybrid
Silk & Snow's Hybrid mattress comes in three firmness options, features zoned coils, and can vastly improve your sleep.

• Temperature Control: 8.9/10
• Motion Isolation: 9.2/10
• Edge Support: 9.7/10
• Pressure Relief: 8.6/10
• Bounce: 9.1/10
• Eco: 9.0/10
• Response: 9.3/10
• Ease of Movement: 9.4/10
• Policies: 8.7/10

Highlights

• Three firmness options, with the medium firm being the best firm choice
• Zoned pocket coils for additional lumbar and hip support
• Outstanding edge support and ease of movement

“We didn’t think that the Silk & Snow Hybrid would be so firm, even though we chose the firmest construction. It’s a miracle for our back pain.”

— Slumber.ca Verified Mattress Review (Silk & Snow Hybrid)

Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Construction

Firm Version

• Antimicrobial Cover. The cover of the Silk & Snow Mattress is immune to bacterial growth thanks to the antimicrobial cover.
• Quilted Layer. The first layer under the cover is a quilted foam, which adds immediate comfort to this firmer mattress.
• 1″ High-Quality Foam. The top of the mattress uses a single 1″ layer of foam for pressure relief and balance.
• 9″ Pocket Coil Base with Zoned Lumbar Support. The coil base in the Firm version of the mattress is 9″ tall and zoned. This means that the coils through the centre of the mattress are firmer to support your hips and back, while softer coils under your shoulders and knees reduce pressure points.
• Firm Edge Support. A perimeter of firm edge support foam reduces dips and reinforces support here, so those who sleep near the side of the bed can remain comfortable.

Medium-Firm Version

• Antimicrobial Cover. Same as Firm version.
• Quilted Layer. Same as Firm version.
• 2″ Cooling Gel-Infused Foam. This layer of high-density foam is infused with cooling gel to keep you cooler, wicking away heat and adding additional pressure relief.
• 8″ Pocket Coil Base with Zoned Lumbar Support. The coil layer in the Medium-Firm version of the mattress is just 8″ tall, but uses the same zoned support and comfortable coils as the Firm option.
• Firm Edge Support. Same as Firm version.

Plush Version

• Antimicrobial Cover. Same as Firm version.
• Cooling Fabric. The surface of the hybrid is made with cooling fabric. This moisture-wicking material reduces heat build-up to keep you comfortable.
• Quilted Layer. Same as Firm version.
• 2″ High-Density Memory Foam. In the Plush version, this high-density memory foam layer isn’t infused with cooling gel. Instead, it’s just as thick, but adds additional pressure point relief for heavier sleepers.
• 2″ High-Density Transition Foam. This transition layer is unique to the Plush version. High-density foam traps motion, reduces deep pressure points, and cushions coil layers so you don’t bottom out.
• 8″ Pocket Coil Base with Zoned Lumbar Support. Same as Medium-Firm version.
• Firm Edge Support. Same as Firm version.

Though Silk & Snow offers all of these options for the Hybrid mattress, we recommend that Canadians seeking a firmer mattress choose only the Firm or Medium-Firm option.

Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Performance Scores

Temperature Control – 8.9/10

The Silk & Snow Hybrid offers great temperature control if you only sleep warm. It doesn’t perform poorly here, but it’s not the coolest mattress on our list either. The cooling gel foam and breathable coils work to reduce heat, but not as quickly as some of the other options we’ve seen. Our equipment measured a steady decline in heat once it built up, but it was slower than we generally like to see.

Motion Isolation – 9.2/10

This mattress does a great job of isolating motion, especially considering that it is a hybrid. Coils tend to allow motion to travel much further, which can lead to vibration being felt throughout the mattress. Thankfully, this option doesn’t allow much of this. Couples with restless partners may not feel smaller movements, and some larger ones can be cancelled out. Our practical tests were consistent with this, and the simulation tests also detected less movement than we expected.

Pressure Relief- 8.6/10

The thinner comfort layers may make this mattress less than ideal for those who need strong pressure relief, particularly heavier sleepers. While it does a great job of relieving most pressure, the thinner layers can only do so much. The firmer coils below can sometimes feel uncomfortable, which was a sentiment we heard over and over again from our testers. 

Ease of Movement – 9.4/10

However, the lack of pressure relief also means better ease of movement. Because you won’t sink too far into this mattress, it’s easy to move around and find new comfortable positions here. The materials respond quickly, rising to fill gaps and indents you leave when you move. Testers didn’t mention any resistance when moving around.

Who is the Silk & Snow Hybrid For? 

• Those who sleep warm. Though the cooling features in this mattress aren’t the best we’ve seen, it’s a good choice for those who sleep warm. The hottest sleepers should choose a mattress with better temperature control, though.
• Canadians with restless partners. The Silk & Snow Hybrid has great motion isolation properties, especially considering that it is a hybrid mattress. If your partner is often restless, you may stay asleep longer with this mattress.
• Users who need better lumbar support. If you need better support for your back, this mattress can help. The zoned coils are firm enough to keep you properly aligned throughout the night.

Who Should Avoid the Silk & Snow Hybrid?

• Heavy side sleepers. Heavier side sleepers may sink too far into this mattress. The comfort layers are thin enough that you may feel the firmer coils, which can cause uncomfortable pressure points.

“The Emma Performance feels like no other mattress I’ve ever slept on. It’s extremely comfortable.”

— Slumber.ca Verified Mattress Review (Emma Performance)

Emma Performance Mattress Construction

• Ultra-Dry Cover. The Performance uses an upgraded cover, which is extremely breathable. It’s removable and easy to wash, too. The upgrade from the standard Emma Performance is free.
• 0.75” Thermosync Foam. The top layer is Thermosync foam, a special type of graphite-infused cooling foam. This layer isolates heat and moves it to the cooler parts of the mattress, so you can sleep without discomfort.
• 0.5” AirgoCell Foam. Point Elastic Airgocell foam absorbs body heat, dealing with the rest of the excess heat that may build up as you sleep. It also wicks away moisture to prevent bacteria and odours throughout the mattress.
• 0.5” MemoryAdapt Foam. MemoryAdapt foam moulds to your body, producing a more even distribution for your weight. This means it’s easier to get comfortable without pressure points.
• 0.75” HRX Foam. HRX Foam is incredibly supportive and durable, keeping you lifted out of the coil layers to reduce strain on your joints. No matter how you sleep, this layer also helps you move more freely.
• 8” Pocket Coil Layer. The dense support layer offers edge-to-edge support. There are 7 ergonomic comfort zones that anticipate your needs based on where you sleep. These measures include firmer coils through the middle of the mattress, as well as extremely strong edge coils to reduce sagging.
• 3.5” Support Foam. The bottom layer of dense foam protects the structure of the mattress and helps it last longer. This layer promotes better lift and support, keeping the coils from sagging after years of use.

Emma Performance Mattress Performance Scores

Temperature Control – 9.2/10

Within the Emma Performance, there are a few layers that isolate heat and keep you comfortable. When heat builds up, the cover and the first two layers of foam work to vent it off of you, wicking away moisture and preventing it from becoming overwhelming. While our hottest sleepers still noted that there was some temperature build-up at night, most said they hardly noticed any heat at all.

Motion Isolation – 10/10

Motion isolation is hard to find when it comes to firm hybrid mattresses. The Emma Performance has one of the best scores on our list, and we think that it’s due to the thick layer of stabilizing foam at the bottom of the mattress. No matter what tests we ran, both simulation and practical results came back with extremely impressive results. Restless partners, pets, and children will be hard-pressed to wake you up on this mattress.

Pressure Relief – 8.7/10

Pressure relief is one of the only areas in our testing procedure where this mattress performed at a less-than-stellar level. The comfort layers on top of the coils are thin, which may contribute to your mattress feeling uncomfortable if you sleep on your side. Heavy side sleepers may need to avoid this mattress, as they are more likely to feel the coils beneath the comfort layers.

Ease of Movement – 9.6/10

However, the thinner comfort layers also mean it’s easier to move around on this mattress. Since you don’t sink in, you won’t ever feel like you have to fight the mattress to get comfortable. Testers described being able to move around without any interference and without waking up in most cases. If you are a combination sleeper or need to turn over often to avoid pain, this mattress could be one of the best choices for you.

Who is the Emma Performance For? 

• Those who sleep light. If you are a light sleeper who wakes up at the smallest movement, you’ll love how the motion isolation in this mattress works. There will be no motion transferring from the other side of the mattress.
• Canadians who move a lot. If you change position often when you sleep, this mattress can make it easier. It’s easy to move around on the surface, so you’ll never feel stuck.
• Hot sleepers. The unique foams inside the Emma Performance make it a great choice for those who sleep hot at night.

Who Should Avoid the Emma Performance?

• Heavier side sleepers. The pressure relief in this mattress isn’t as good as some of its other features, which may be less than ideal for heavier side sleepers.
