Juno vs Endy Mattress Comparison

Choosing a new mattress is one of the most important purchases for your home. The right mattress will help you sleep in comfort for years to come, while the wrong mattress can lead to aches and pains and disrupted sleep. So how do you pick the right mattress for you?

We at Slumber want to help you choose a mattress that will help you sleep more soundly and wake up more refreshed by testing and rating mattresses. This article focuses on two mattresses from Canadian-owned mattress companies: Juno and Endy. By reading on you can discover how their foam mattresses performed in our tests and how they compare so you can decide which mattress is a better match for you. 

Comparison At A Glance

Summary
Juno is one of the least expensive bed in a box options on the Canadian market, but it still performs admirably when matched against more expensive options. It offers far better pressure relief than the Endy, at least, even if the Endy outpaces it in other areas.

Overview of Juno and Endy 

Recent years have seen a sharp increase in the popularity of bed-in-a-box mattresses which has resulted in an increased number of companies selling this type of mattresses. Juno has only been selling mattresses since 2019 but has quickly built itself a reputation as a manufacturer of quality mattresses at budget-friendly prices and has sold over 80,000 mattresses to date. Juno is one of the GoodMorning.com companies and the cheapest among the GoodMorning.com brands. 

Endy has been in business for nearly a decade. It was launched in 2015 and it is one of Canadian pioneers in manufacturing bed-in-a-box mattresses. The brand is familiar to many Canadians and known for its high standards while keeping its prices reasonable and suitable for most budgets. Endy is fairly unique within the bed-in-a-box market because they actually have two showrooms which are both in Ontario. However, the vast majority of their mattresses are sold online.

Juno Vs. Endy Price Comparison

Both Endy and Juno are budget-friendly mattresses but if you are looking for the most budget-friendly mattress that doesn’t compromise on quality, then look no further than Juno. Their foam mattresses start from $399 compared to Endy’s $675. 

Both the Juno and Endy foam mattresses are available for RVs. The prices below are for the RV short queen mattress which is the only size available from Endy. Juno offers two additional RV mattresses that are the RV bunk small for $399 and the RV three-quarter for $479. 

Mattress Sizes

Both Endy and Juno mattresses are made to fit standard Canadian bed frames. As you can see in the table below, Endy’s twin, twin XL, and full-size mattresses are an inch wider but the queen, king, and California king mattresses are the same.

The main difference is in the height of the mattress with the Endy mattress being two inches higher than the Juno mattress. The extra height can make getting in and out of bed feel quite different. If you find a higher bed easier to climb in and out of then consider paying the extra to get Endy’s higher mattress. 

Mattress Construction and Performance

How a mattress has been constructed will affect how it performs in everyday use and how well it will last and maintain its shape. Below you can find details on how the Juno and Endy mattresses have been made followed by what ratings they got in our tests. 

Differences in Juno and Endy Mattress Construction

Both the Juno and Endy mattresses are all-foam mattresses but where Endy has three layers of foam, Juno has two. Because the Juno mattress has fewer layers, it is two inches lower than the Endy mattress.  

The top layer of the Juno mattress is two inches thick and includes a cooling gel that covers the full body and effectively helps to regulate temperature while you sleep. The bottom layer is six inches thick and made with support foam. This layer reduces motion transfer and helps to keep your spine in the correct alignment while you sleep. 

In the Endy mattress, the two-inch-thick top layer is Endy Comfort foam. In the middle is a three inches thick layer of transition foam and the final layer is five inches thick and made with high-density foam. While the high-density and transition foams work well to reduce motion and offer support, the mattress lacks cooling technologies that would effectively remove heat away from you. 

The Endy mattress comes in three different firmness options. You can choose the Firm, Medium, or Plush version of the Endy mattress before making a purchase, while Juno is only available in a single firmness option.

Temperature Control 

Foam mattresses have a reputation for sleeping hot but many Canadian mattress manufacturers are coming up with innovative cooling technologies to combat foam’s tendency to retain heat. We recommend that people who sleep hot look for mattresses with a rating of 8+ for temperature regulation. 

The Juno and the Endy were comparable in this test. The Endy came out on top and may be better for those who sleep hot, but the difference may not be noticeable for those who only sleep warm. Juno’s use of cooling gel foam (and their optional cooling cover) was nearly as good as Endy’s open-cell, responsive foam at maintaining comfortable temperatures.

Motion Isolation 

Motion isolation is another important performance factor, especially if you share your bed. Ideally, you want the score to be at least seven if you sleep with a partner or have kids or pets jumping in the bed with you. 

Both Juno and Endy performed well in our tests scoring above the recommended seven. The foam layers effectively prevented motion from transferring across the mattress and our testers said they felt very little vibrations when another person moved on the other side of the bed. 

Endy comes out ahead in this test because of its motion isolation foam and open-cell design. The Endy is also taller than the Juno, which gives the mattress a better buffer against motion. Juno would be fine for Canadians who aren’t sensitive to motion as they sleep, but the Endy is far better for those who need motion isolation.

Edge Support

Foam mattresses often do not have as strong edges as hybrid or spring mattresses so we were not surprised by these scores. The Endy has a stronger edge than the Juno mattress, which scored lower than average among the mattresses we have tested for edge support. 

A strong edge can help the mattress maintain its shape for longer and prevent the edges from sagging over time. This is especially important if you like to sleep on the edge of the mattress. A stronger edge can also be helpful for people with mobility issues who need a more supportive surface when getting in and out of bed. 

Firmness and Comfort

When we test a mattress for its firmness, we base our score on our testers’ feedback and the results from our sinkage tests. We then give the mattress a score between one and ten where one is for the softest mattresses and ten for the firmest. Most mattresses in Canada are medium-firm and fall between four and seven. In fact, finding a mattress scoring below or above that range is rare because it would not be comfortable for most Canadians. 

The Juno and Endy mattresses are both medium-firm mattresses with Juno being the slightly firmer out of the two. The mattresses offer both support and contouring to prevent pressure points and keep your spine aligned. If you generally prefer a firmer surface or are a slightly heavier sleeper, consider getting the Juno mattress. Lighter sleepers may prefer the Endy mattress which allows a little more sinkage, especially in the shoulder and hip areas. 

Which Mattress is Right for You?

What Are Customers Saying?

Canadians who have purchased the Juno mattress were surprised by how comfortable it is for the price. They expected it to perform poorly, but this simply wasn’t the case after sleeping on it for months.

“I can’t believe how comfortable the Juno is. After months of sleeping on it, the Juno mattress is still way more comfortable than our old mattress.”

Endy customers loved the all-foam feel and the ability to choose their firmness option. Though it is pricier, the Endy is a great choice for Canadians with different sleeping preferences.

“The Endy mattress has earned its reputation. We love our Endy mattress, and the best part is that my wife can sleep when I’m tossing and turning.”

Sleep Trial

If you have been browsing Canadian mattress companies’ websites for a while, you will have noticed that most companies offer a sleep trial. During a sleep trial, you can use the mattress at home as you would normally do, and if you are not happy, you can return it to the company and receive a refund. However, the length and exact details of the sleep trial vary between companies. 

Juno offers a 120-night sleep trial which is available on all their mattresses. The company asks you to use the mattress for at least 21 nights before you request a return. The reason they ask this is because you will need some time to get used to the new mattress. After 21 days, if you are not satisfied, you can contact the company to arrange a free pickup and the company will process your refund within five business days. 

The sleep trial from Endy is 100 nights when you order from the company’s website. Note that Endy mattresses are also available from other retailers and if you purchase from one of these retailers, they may have different terms for the sleep trials. Mattresses purchased from third parties will not be eligible for return and refund through Endy. To ensure you get the 100-night trial and peace of mind that comes with it, consider ordering directly from Endy. 

Delivery

Another common incentive mattress companies offer is free delivery. If you order from Juno or Endy, you can get free delivery to most parts of Canada. However, if you live in a remote area or the territories, you may have to pay a delivery fee. Currently, the fee is $150 when you order from Endy and $250 from Juno. Delivery times will vary depending on where you live but both companies aim to deliver within a week. 

Warranty

Your new mattress will be covered for manufacturing and material defects under a warranty. Both Endy and Juno offer a 15-year warranty for their foam mattresses which is likely to cover the mattress against defects as long as you are using it (most foam mattresses will last up to ten years in regular use). The terms of the warranty will vary from one company to the next, so always check the details with the company so you know exactly what is covered. 

Final Verdict: Juno or Endy?

It is important to consider all the performance features in relation to your personal preferences and body type when making your final decision. For example, people who value temperature regulation or edge support the most are likely to find the Juno mattress more comfortable. On the other hand, the Endy may work better for people looking for better motion isolation or those who want a higher mattress. 

In addition to the performance scores, remember to consider factors such as the cost of shopping, length of the sleep trial, and what is covered under the warranty. For some, their budget may be the deciding factor and the Juno mattress offers a lot at a lower price point. 

When you have considered all the key factors, which are summarised below, you can be confident that you are choosing the best mattress for your sleeping needs. 

Other Mattresses from Juno and Endy

Juno and Endy both offer one mattress alternative to their “basic” foam models. The alternative from Juno is called Juno Cool+, which is even more effective at keeping you cool while you sleep. Its open-cell cooling gel foam and cover made with cooling yarn fibres effectively take more moisture away from you so you can sleep cooler and more comfortably.

Endy’s other option is their hybrid model with a foam top on a coil base. The hybrid model is more breathable and has better temperature regulation. It also has more support for the spine than the foam mattress. However, because of the coil base, the motion isolation is not as good as in the foam model. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these mattresses made in Canada?

Both the Juno and the Endy mattresses are made right here in Canada. These Canadian companies sell exclusively to Canadian customers.

How much is shipping for these mattresses?

Both mattresses ship free to most Canadian addresses, though some remote areas may require a shipping fee. You can check with their customer service department to determine if your address requires a shipping fee.

How does a sleep trial work?

During a sleep trial, you can try the mattress at home to see if it is right for you. If you don’t like it, you can send it back during the sleep trial period (usually after the first 30 days) for a full refund of your purchase price.

Which mattress offers better pressure relief?

The Juno mattress offers better pressure relief than the Endy. That’s mainly because of the material difference; Endy uses a proprietary Comfort Foam, while Juno uses gel memory foam for its top layer.

Which mattress is better for hot sleepers?

Both mattresses scored well for temperature control, but the Endy came out just ahead of the Juno mattress. Both could work for warmer sleepers, but the Endy offers better airflow overall.
