What Is the Cheapest Mattress in Calgary?
The cheapest mattress available in Calgary is the 5 Inches Foam Medium Firm from Mattbed Canada, priced from $120 for a single/twin — lower than any other mattress in the city's same-day delivery market. It is delivered same-day, cash on delivery, no credit card required.
At 5 inches thick, this is a genuinely thinner, simpler mattress than Mattbed Canada's other lines like the 10" DreamBreeze Bamboo or the PureRest Bamboo Foam. That thinness is exactly why it's the cheapest — less material, lower cost, lower price passed on to you.
⚖️ An Honest Word on Quality
This is not a luxury mattress, and we're not going to pretend it is. It's also not the lowest-quality product you could buy anywhere — it's a genuine, functional medium-firm foam mattress at the lowest price point we offer. Think of it as the honest middle: budget-friendly, comfortable enough for its intended uses, but not built to the comfort or durability standard of our higher mattresses. If you need a serious everyday mattress for years of nightly use, we'd point you toward the DreamBreeze or PureRest instead. If you need a real bed, fast, at the lowest possible cost — this is exactly the right product.
What Is This Mattress Actually Good For?
The 5 Inches Foam Medium Firm is well suited to four situations: kids' beds, guest rooms, short-term or temporary living setups, and light regular use by an adult who doesn't need a plush feel.
Kids' Beds
Children are lighter than adults, so a thinner mattress holds up well. A common, sensible choice for a first "big kid" bed.
Guest Rooms
A genuine, comfortable place to sleep for a room that's used occasionally — without paying full price for a bed that sits empty most nights.
Short-Term / Temporary Use
Moving, subletting, staying somewhere temporarily, or furnishing a room you know you'll upgrade later — this covers the gap affordably.
Regular Use, Light Sleepers
For an adult who doesn't need a plush or extra-supportive surface, this works as a genuine everyday mattress too — just not a premium one.
Is a 5 Inch Mattress Good Enough for Everyday Use?
A 5 inch foam mattress is thinner and firmer than a standard 8-12 inch mattress, so it won't feel as plush or last as long under heavy daily use. It works for regular use by a light sleeper or in a room used a few nights a week, but it isn't built to the same comfort or durability standard as a thicker mattress.
Short on Budget Now? Here's the Smart Path
Buy the 5 Inches Foam Medium Firm now to solve the immediate need. When your budget allows, add a SleepBase 7" Box Spring Foundation underneath it — this raises the total bed height and adds a firmer support layer, without needing to replace the mattress itself.
- Buy the 5 Inches Foam Medium Firm now — solves the immediate need for a real bed at the lowest cost.
- Use it as-is for as long as it suits your situation — kids' room, guest room, or short-term setup.
- When you're settled and ready to upgrade, order a SleepBase 7" Box Spring Foundation to place underneath it.
- Keep the same mattress on top — the box spring adds height and firmness underneath, no need to buy a new mattress.
💡 Why this works: a box spring changes the height and firmness of the whole bed without touching the mattress itself. It's the cheapest way to make a budget mattress feel more like a full bed setup, whenever you're ready.
