Where is the best place to buy a mattress in the Greater Toronto Area?

So you’ve been thinking about replacing your old, worn-out, uncomfortable mattress that you’ve had longer than you can remember.  You have been telling yourself that you need a new mattress for months now after waking up every morning being restless, experiencing back pain, and not getting a good night’s sleep.  So you sit down in front of your computer and start your search. 

After 10 minutes of browsing you get overwhelmed with the different amount of options available and you don’t know where you should really be looking to get the best mattress for your needs at the best price. There are so many options from big box stores, online only stores, online bed-in-a-box companies, outlets, and liquidation centers all claiming to have the best prices and the best mattresses.  So now what?

Let me put you out of your misery.  Here is what to expect when searching for a new mattress and where you can get the best deal on the best mattress for you.

Big Box Mattress Stores
You hear the ads on the radio, in the newspaper, and even on TV.  These giant big box mattress and furniture companies always have 50% off, 75% off, one day only, this weekend only,  and limited quantity sales ALL THE TIME!  Do they even sell any mattress that are not on sale?  I would really like to find out who would pay their over inflated, nonsense regular prices that make their sales seem too good to be true. 

What you need to know is that these companies have huge advertising budgets, massive showrooms to maintain, and very clever salespeople that can probably sweet talk you into the mattress that pays them the most commission.  At the end of the day, that deal you are getting is feeding the costs associated with the massive overhead these companies have to maintain, so you may not actually be getting the best mattress for the best price.


Online Mattress Stores
Online mattress stores can offer a wide selection of good quality mattresses at fair prices since they don’t have a lot of the overhead associated with a brick and mortar location.  The problem is that you cannot try the mattress before you buy, and in most cases exchanges and returns are either very difficult, costly, or non-existent.   

Trying your new mattress that you will probably have for the next 10 years of your life is very important.  Unless you are buying a mattress for the guest room, or just a temporary bed, I wouldn’t recommend buying a mattress from a company that does not let you try their product before buying it.  There are better options out there.


Online Bed-In-A-Box Companies
Companies that offer online only memory foam mattresses that are rolled and shipped across the country have sprung out everywhere recently.  They typically offer only one mattress to buy and claim that this mattress is universal for everybody’s needs.  I don’t buy into the idea that one mattress can be good for everyone. 

A lighter person who sleeps on their side and a heavier person who sleeps on their back need two completely different types of mattresses to gain proper support and have a comfortable night’s sleep.  There is not one mattress out there that will properly tailor to both of these people as they have different needs for support and comfort.  Therefor buying a universal mattress will not give you the personalized comfort and support that you may need.  Take the time to find the right mattress for your specific needs as this will provide you with the most comfortable sleep for many years to come.


Mattress Outlets and Liquidators
Mattress Outlets are probably the best venue to get the best quality mattress at the best price.  You can find a great selection of good quality brand name mattresses at a way better price than your typical retailer or online mattress store.  Mattress outlets usually offer the same brand name mattresses you can find anywhere else but at a better price due to their lower overhead.

However not all outlets are the same.  Important things to look for are reputable brand name mattresses and the option to try before you buy.  Also looking into exchange policies and general company policies is important in case you decide you don’t like the mattress you picked out.

National Mattress Outlet Plus+ has a mattress outlet warehouse store in Mississauga and in Milton which cater to the whole greater Toronto area.  They offer all the top mattress brands including Serta, Sealy, and Springwall.  They have a very large selection of mattresses ranging from very soft to very firm at various different price points.  Their staff is very well educated and will always recommend the best mattress for you based on your budget as they are not paid on commission.  Comparing their prices to other retailers and outlets, National Mattress has the best prices in the city!

You can visit their website www.nationalmattress.ca and use their Mattress Selector which will guide you through a series of questions and recommend the best mattresses for you at different price points. You can then try out these recommended mattresses at their Mississauga or Milton location to see which ones you like the best.


At National Mattress Outlet you will get the best quality brand name mattress, at the best price and sleep comfortably for many years to come.
