Our Scoring Process for Mattresses for Heavy People

The score that each mattress received for each performance area was a composite score. These scores are based on multiple testing results scores, user feedback scores, and more. We averaged the scores given to us by testers, results, and experts to return a result that felt like it matched the interests of most Canadians.

Our Mattress Tests for Mattresses for Heavy People

We isolated these mattresses and put them through their paces, with tests that highlighted their unique and helpful features. For example, we tested each mattress for pressure relief with practical and simulation tests. We received feedback from testers who used each mattress over long periods and compared that feedback with our testing results for each mattress. The result was a testing gauntlet that felt fair, comprehensive, and accurate.

How We Choose Our Mattresses for Heavy People

When we looked into populating our list of mattresses for heavy people, we looked at common features that heavy people needed. These mattresses provide good response, pressure relief, motion isolation, and temperature control. While it may seem difficult to find a mattress that hits all of these checkboxes, there are quite a few options that tested well in two or more of those categories. Those mattresses ended up here.

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

Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Construction

Firm Version

• Antimicrobial Cover. Same as Medium Firm version.
• Quilted Layer. Same as Medium Firm version.
• 1″ Supportive Foam Layer. A middle transition layer of supportive foam keeps your pressure points supported, removing discomfort and balancing your body.
• 9″ Pocket Coil Base with Zoned Support. This coil base is thicker than the other versions. 9″ pocket coils with firmer coils in the centre of the mattress keep you supported and comfortable.
• Edge Support Perimeter. Same as Medium Firm version.

Medium Firm Version

• Antimicrobial Cover. The cover of this mattress has antimicrobial properties. This means that it prevents the growth of bacteria, eliminating odours that can sometimes form over use. This is important because the cover can’t be removed.
• 1” Quilted Cooling Foam and Fill. The top of the mattress features a layer of quilted cooling foam, which is filled with hollow fibre fill. The quilting makes the top of the mattress plush and comfortable, while the fill marks it cool and breathable.
• 2” High-Density Gel Memory Foam. The transition layer features high-density foam, which introduces better pressure relief throughout the mattress. This layer also helps with alignment, keeping your spine neutral to avoid discomfort and pain.
• 8” Zoned Pocket Coil Base. The supportive base of the mattress uses up to 1,200 pocket coils in its largest size. These coils are double-tempered to provide the best stability and durability. They help reduce motion transfer by compressing individually. They are also zoned, so the firmer coils through the centre of the mattress help with lumbar support.
• Edge Support Perimeter. The encasement surrounding the coils features firmer foam, which bolsters the mattress’s edges. As a result, you’ll get a more comfortable experience if you sit or sleep near the edge.

Plush Version

• Antimicrobial Cover. Same as Medium Firm version.
• Cooling Fabric. A surface layer of gel-infused foam removes heat from the surface of the mattress, allowing you to stay cooler without sacrificing plushness.
• Quilted Layer. Same as Medium Firm version.
• 2″ High-Density Memory Foam. Pressure-relieving foam eliminates pressure points, providing more plush relief than the other versions of this mattress.
• 2″ Transition Foam. A layer of transition foam isolates movement and provides a buffer for the coils, so even heavier sleepers won’t bottom out.
• 8″ Zoned Pocket Coil Base. Same as Medium Firm Version.
• Edge Support Perimeter. Same as Medium Firm Version.

Silk & Snow Hybrid Mattress Performance Scores

Temperature Control – 8.9/10

The Silk & Snow Hybrid is made with high-density memory foam, so it does generate heat. While most of the cooling measures work fine, it may not be ideal for those who sleep extremely hot. We noticed that heat gathered over time and dissipated slower than we would like. Those who often experience night sweats may need a cooler mattress.

Motion Isolation – 9.2/10

Compared to some of the other hybrids on our list, the Silk & Snow Hybrid offers great motion isolation. Usually, hybrids are worse at motion isolation than all-foam options. The Silk & Snow Hybrid goes toe-to-toe with some of the best all-foam mattresses in Canada. During practical and simulation tests, we recorded outstanding results. You’ll barely feel anything from the other side of the bed, though you may detect some larger movements.

Pressure Relief- 8.6/10

Over time, the pressure relief on this mattress only stood up to a certain point. While the pressure relief started great, it became less so over time. This mattress may not be ideal for heavier side sleepers because those results were worse. After several hours, our testers noted that there was some pushback from the mattress.

Ease of Movement – 9.4/10

The materials within the Silk & Snow Hybrid respond faster than the average we’ve recorded. It’s easy to move around on the surface of the mattress, even after long hours lying in the same spot. The foams work to regain their shape quickly, reducing indentations just after you move away. Our testers of all sizes were able to move around quickly and without much additional effort.

Who is the Silk & Snow Hybrid For? 

• Those who need better spinal alignment. The zoned coils and supportive transition layer help this mattress keep your spine aligned, particularly if you are a side or stomach sleeper. This may lead to less discomfort in the morning.
• Canadians who like a little bounce. If you need some feedback from the mattress to feel comfortable, this is a great option. It stops motion while still providing a bit of bounce.
• Those who move around a lot at night. It’s easy to move around on the surface of the Silk & Snow Hybrid, so those who need to move around a lot to get comfortable will stay that way.

Who Should Avoid the Silk & Snow Hybrid?

• Hot sleepers. While this mattress does feature a bit of temperature control, it might not be enough for those who sleep extremely hot. Avoid it if you often wake up with night sweats.

Alternative Option

This mattress offers minimal temperature control, which may not be ideal for those who sleep hot. If you need better temperature control, consider the Logan & Cove Choice. It’s a hybrid that offers better cooling features but doesn’t isolate motion as well.

Best Temperature Control – Logan & Cove Choice

Best Temperature Control
Logan & Cove Choice kept our heaviest testers cool throughout the night, and that's extremely important to us.

• Temperature Control: 9.4/10
• Motion Isolation: 6.2/10
• Edge Support: 9.7/10
• Pressure Relief: 8.9/10
• Bounce: 9.8/10
• Eco: 8.7/10
• Response: 10/10
• Ease of Movement: 10/10
• Policies: 9.5/10

Highlights

• Great cooling properties for those who sleep hot
• Extremely quick response time makes moving around extremely easy
• Luxury hybrid experience without a higher cost

“Logan & Cove Choice isn’t the thickest mattress, but I never felt like we were sleeping right on the coil layer. We were impressed that a mattress of this size could do that.”

— Slumber.ca Verified Mattress Review (Logan & Cove Choice)

Logan & Cove Choice Mattress Construction

• Quilted Cover. The cover of the Logan & Cove Choice is made with CryoFusion nanofibres, which are cool to the touch. These fibres, as well as the hollow fibre fill and cooling gel foam quilted right into the cover, work to reduce the temperature at the surface of the mattress.
• 1” ecoLuxe Cooling Foam. The top of the mattress is a luxury cooling gel foam that uses less carbon input than standard memory foam. This cooling foam isolates heat and draws it away from you, but it also cushions your joints so you don’t get any uncomfortable pressure points throughout the night.
• 1.5” Premium Elastex. The middle of the mattress uses premium Elastex, a latex-alternative foam that is made without the chemicals found in natural latex. It still feels like latex, provides the same responsiveness, and cradles your body without sinking.
• 9” Pocket Coil Layer. The base of the mattress uses 9” pocket coils, which are individually wrapped to provide the highest level of support. These coils reduce strain on your joints and help align your spine, so you wake up more comfortably than with other mattresses.

Logan & Cove Choice Mattress Performance Scores

Temperature Control – 9.4/10

One of the best features of the Logan & Cove Choice is its temperature control. This mattress stays cool under some of the hottest conditions, with airflow from the coils and a lack of build-up making all of the difference. We tracked temperature changes over the night and found that any heat that accumulated in the materials dissipated quickly thanks to the cooling materials.

Motion Isolation – 6.2/10

Because the Logan & Cove Choice is a hybrid mattress, it suffers from one of the biggest pitfalls of hybrid mattresses. The pocket coils allow motion to transfer, leaving Canadian couples with more transfer than they generally prefer. On this mattress, our testers felt nearly everything from the other side of the bed. Our simulation tests showed even stronger motion transfer than ou practical tests suggested.

Pressure Relief- 8.9/10

The comfort layers within the Logan & Cove Choice mattress may be too thin for some users, especially heavier side sleepers. While it does offer some pressure relief, it may not be enough for some users. The foams keep you lifted out of the mattress, so there isn’t enough pushback to be truly uncomfortable unless you press deeply into the mattress.

Ease of Movement – 10/10

This mattress uses Elastex foam as a transition layer, which is one of the reasons why it is so easy to move around on top of the mattress. The materials keep you lifted out of the layers, reducing the quicksand feeling associated with normal memory foam. Our testers reported that moving around was easy even after laying in one spot for hours. The materials regained their original shape nearly immediately.

Who is the Logan & Cove Choice For? 

• Active sleepers. Those who move around a lot at night or struggle to get comfortable will appreciate how easy it is to move on this mattress. You won’t have to put any extra effort into getting comfortable.
• Canadians who need bounce. This mattress uses responsive materials to create a bouncy, responsive surface. If you like a little feedback from your mattress when you move around, you will find it here.
• Edge sleepers. The firmer coils around the edge of the support layer create a more supportive edge. If you are sick of slipping off the bed when you sit or sleep near the edge, this mattress can improve your experience.

Who Should Avoid the Logan & Cove Choice?

• Heavier couples and those with restless partners. The Logan & Cove Choice performs well in nearly every area but suffers greatly when it comes to motion isolation. The mattress doesn’t stop motion at all, which means you’ll feel a lot from the other side of the bed.

Alternative Option

The Logan & Cove Choice doesn’t offer the greatest motion isolation. The pocket coils allow some motion to transfer to the other side of the bed. If you need motion isolation, consider choosing the Douglas Alpine. It’s an all-foam mattress, but it offers some of the best motion control on our list.

Best for Couples – Douglas Alpine

Best for Couples
Douglas Alpine receives an extremely high score for motion isolation and excellent results in pressure relief. Heavier couples will be extremely comfortable on this mattress.

• Temperature Control: 9.1/10
• Motion Isolation: 9.8/10
• Edge Support: 9.6/10
• Pressure Relief: 9.1/10
• Bounce: 8.1/10
• Eco: 9/10
• Response: 10/10
• Ease of Movement: 9.6/10
• Policies: 10/10

Highlights

• Surprising edge support for a foam mattress
• Extreme motion isolation for heavier couples
• Responsive materials make it easy to move around on the surface of the mattress 

“We thought a foam mattress might not work for us, but the Douglas Alpine proved us wrong.”

— Slumber.ca Verified Mattress Review (Douglas Alpine)

Douglas Alpine Mattress Construction

• Douglas CoolSense Cover. This machine-washable cover is easy to remove and return to the mattress when it is finished in the wash. It is made with Infinitex fibres,, which help maintain breathability even when you sleep hot.
• 2.25” Luxury ecoLight Cooling Gel Foam with Polar Temperature Balancing. The first layer of foam uses a thin coating of phase-changing material called Polar Temperature Balancing. This layer maintains a consistent temperature throughout the night. The foam itself provides pressure relief that mimics the properties of a high-density memory foam. 
• 2.25” Premium Elastex Foam. Elastex is a latex alternative that, when used as a transition layer, stops motion entirely. It’s responsive so you can move around easily, but that movement is limited to your side of the bed.
• 6.5” Motion Isolation Support Foam. The supportive base of the mattress is a high-density layer of foam, which provides top-notch balancing and support. It helps align your spine to keep back pain away, too.

Douglas Alpine Mattress Performance Scores

Temperature Control – 9.1/10

Most of the cooling properties within this mattress come from the phase-changing materials that coats the top layer of foam. This layer reduces heat to a consistent, comfortable temperature that it works to maintain throughout the night. Additionally, the top layer of ecoLight isolates heat and prevents build-up. The Elastex foam, which mimics natural latex, provides the same level of isolating comfort. Together, these materials reduce heat quickly. We noted that the higher temperatures that built up over hours of use quickly siphoned away when the materials got to work.

Motion Isolation – 9.8/10

The Douglas Alpine shines when it comes to motion isolation. This mattress uses layers that dampen motion entirely, reducing shaking and vibrations on the other side of the mattress. In our practical and ball drop tests, we had similar results – testers could barely feel any motion from the other side of the bed, and our equipment picked up extremely minimal vibrations. 

Pressure Relief- 9.1/10

The comfort layers on this mattress may be a bit thin for heavier sleepers. Still, the mattress does its best to keep you lifted out of the foams, reducing pressure and keeping you comfortable. Our testers didn’t report many issues, though some heavier side sleepers felt that the comfort layers weren’t sufficient to avoid pressure points.

Ease of Movement – 9.6/10

It can be difficult to move around on all-foam mattresses, especially for heavier sleepers. Thankfully, the Douglas Alpine doesn’t have this issue. Even after houses of sleeping in one spot (and creating indents), our testers were able to turn over and change position easily. This mattress’s response time is much faster than average, so it reforms quickly when you move away. 

Who is the Douglas Alpine For? 

• Heavier couples. It can be difficult to find effective motion isolation for heavier couples, but the strong isolation properties of the Douglas Alpine deliver.
• Canadians who sleep hot. If you often wake up with uncomfortable night sweats, this mattress can be a better option for you. The layers of cooling foam isolate heat so you can sleep better.
• Those who move around a lot at night. Some memory foam mattresses make you feel stuck, like you can’t move around properly on top of it. The Douglas Alpine has responsive foam layers that don’t allow you to sink too far.

Who Should Avoid the Douglas Alpine?

• Canadians who want more bounce. If you prefer a bouncier mattress, the Douglas Alpine may not be for you. It absorbs motion so well that there is very little feedback from the mattress. 

Alternative Option

While the Douglas Alpine performs well in most areas, it lacks bounce. If you need a little more feedback from your mattress, consider the Endy Hybrid. This supportive mattress adds a lot of bounce, making it a perfect option for those who prefer a mattress that moves a little more.

Best Pressure Relief – Endy Hybrid

Best Pressure Relief
Pressure relief is extremely important for heavier side sleepers, so we were happy that this mattress came through in our testing phases.

• Temperature Control: 9.2/10
• Motion Isolation: 6.4/10
• Edge Support: 8.3/10
• Pressure Relief: 9.3/10
• Bounce: 9.9/10
• Eco: 7.0/10
• Response: 10/10
• Ease of Movement: 9.7/10
• Policies: 9/10

Highlights

• Extremely fast response time, making for better ease of movement
• Great pressure relief for Canadians of all sizes
• Temperature-neutral foams that retain their feel regardless of ambient temperature or the seasons

“We needed a supportive mattress that has excellent pressure relief, and the Endy Hybrid gave us all that and more.”

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

Endy Hybrid Mattress Construction

• Quilted Cover. The plush cover is lined with and quilted to a layer of Endy Comfort Foam. This top layer is comfortable, providing great pressure relief and top-notch plushness for those who need it.
• Polyfoam Transition Layer. A layer of transition foam cradles your deepest pressure points. You won’t feel any discomfort at your joints because this layer keeps them well-cushioned and prevents pushback from the mattress. 
• Pocket Coil Support Base. The base of the mattress features a strong pocket-coil layer, which is firm for your hips and back as well as around the edges. 
• Stabilizing Support Foam. A layer of dense foam below the coils helps the mattress keep its shape, reducing sagging in the coils over time. This layer helps your mattress last longer as a result.

Endy Hybrid Mattress Performance Scores

Temperature Control – 9.3/10

The top fo the Endy Hybrid provides a cushioned, breathable layer of plush comfort. The foam reduces heat by moving it away from you, while the thick coils push cooler air up through the mattress. These features work together to give the Endy Hybrid a surprisingly adept performance score when it comes to temperature control. Though the temperatures within the mattress could rise rapidly, they dissipated extremely quickly.

Motion Isolation – 6.4/10

Motion isolation on this mattress is poor, which may be due to the fact that it is a hybrid. The pocket coils don’t do a good job of isolating motion, meaning your partner may be able to feel when you toss and turn. Our simulation tests returned tests that featured a ton of vibration, while the practical testers reported lots of movements, large and small, from the other side of the mattress.

Pressure Relief- 9.3/10

Though the comfort layers in the Endy Hybrid are thinner than some other mattresses provide, they do a great job of providing pressure relief. That’s because the Endy Comfort foam at the top of the mattress doesn’t allow you to sink too far in, so there is little pressure where you touch the mattress. Our testers didn’t have any significant complaints of pressure-related issues after hours of sleeping on this mattress.

Ease of Movement – 9.7/10

The Endy Comfort Foam also makes this mattress extremely responsive. The materials spring back into shape quickly even after hours of being compressed. We noted faster-than-average performance time when it came to response. Our testers also said that it wasn’t difficult to turn over or get comfortable at all, even after hours of sleeping in the same position.

Who is the Endy Hybrid For? 

• Hot sleepers. Those who sleep hot will appreciate the breathable nature of this mattress. There are only a few materials that can retain heat here, and they are very small comparatively.
• Canadians who need better lumbar support. The zoned support from this mattress reduces strain on your joints, keeping your spine aligned and comfortable.
• Budget shoppers. The price of the Endy Hybrid makes it a great option for those on a budget, particularly when compared to other hybrids on the Canadian market.

Who Should Avoid the Endy Hybrid?

• Couples with restless partners. If you want a mattress that can dampen motion and reduce vibration and motion transfer, this is not the option for you. This mattress performs poorly in these areas, which can lead to discomfort.

Alternative Option

Motion isolation is a problem with the Endy Hybrid. If you need to stay undisturbed when your partner moves at night, you should choose the Douglas Alpine. This mattress has one of the best scores on our list for motion isolation.
