Side sleepers usually need soft to medium-soft, back sleepers medium to medium-firm, stomach sleepers medium-firm to firm, and combination sleepers medium-firm. If you weigh under about 130 lb, go a little softer; over about 230 lb, go a little firmer. Mattbed Canada delivers same-day across Toronto and the GTA (order before 4pm). Our GTA range leans firm: SleepMore Extra Firm 8", 10" and 12" (queen $188, $250, $425), Orthopaedic 9.5", 10" and 12" (queen $150, $170, $285) and Pocket Coil 12" (queen $450), with mattresses from $70. You check the mattress and pay cash on delivery; delivery is charged by distance and confirmed on WhatsApp. Prices are in CAD and can change.
Why Firmness Matters More Than Price
A mattress that feels fine for five minutes can feel wrong after a full night. Firmness decides whether your spine stays level, your shoulders and hips are cushioned and you wake up rested. In the GTA, where many people live in condos and move often, a wrong choice is an annoying one: returns are not accepted after delivery on our orders, so choose firmness before you order.
The housing market is also changing. CMHC put apartment vacancy at 3.0% in Toronto in 2025, and asking rents for two-bedroom apartments were about 6% lower in late 2025 than in early 2024 (index 93.7 vs 100). More people are choosing and moving, and many are buying a mattress without trying it first.
Which Firmness for Which Sleep Position?
| Sleep position | Firmness to aim for | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Side | Soft to medium-soft | Lets shoulders and hips sink in slightly while the waist stays supported |
| Back | Medium to medium-firm | Supports the natural curve of the lower back |
| Stomach | Medium-firm to firm | Stops the hips sinking below the shoulders |
| Combination | Medium-firm | The most versatile choice if you change positions |
| Under 130 lb | Go a little softer | A light body may not engage the comfort layer |
| Over 230 lb | Go a little firmer | A heavier body compresses a mattress further |
These are general rules of thumb, not medical advice. If you have ongoing back pain, speak to a health professional.
What Our GTA Range Looks Like
Our GTA range leans firm, and we do not publish a firmness score for every model. Use the names as a guide: “Extra Firm” is built to be firm, and “Orthopaedic” and “High Density” mattresses are generally supportive. For the Foam and Bamboo models, message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you how they feel. If you are a side sleeper who wants a plush feel, say so first and we will tell you honestly whether we have a good match.

Foam, Bamboo, Orthopaedic or Coil?
Firmness is one factor. The material changes how heat, motion and support feel. Our comparison of foam vs bamboo vs orthopaedic vs coil explains the differences. For a Toronto condo, see our condo mattress and bed setup guide.
