Factory Direct Mattresses in the Toronto, ON and GTA area

[Sensei]

Hey Pie2,

Welcome to our Mattress Forum ! We hope you’ll find the resources here useful for navigating your mattress shopping journey. Thanks for your kind words and question.

We are looking for something on the medium/firm side. We have an existing bed so not looking for anything that requires a special system. Budget $1200-1600 (inc box spring/base).

What size mattress do you currently have? The difference in pricing from queen to king size is around $500+, so that would be good to know given the price range you are shopping in.

We are thinking of latex or a latex hybrid. We do not want memory foam - DH runs hot and this has been an issue in the past.

Yes, latex would be a good choice in this case. Latex in general is considered the most breathable and “temperature neutral” of all the different types of foam materials but the firmness of a mattress and how much you sink into it can also affect sleeping temperature as well.

And we prefer purchasing a mattress we can try first. Located in Toronto/North York.

We always recommend our Trusted Members to consumers first; they are knowledgeable, responsive, and most importantly transparent with their business practices. CBH Wood Furniture, have showrooms in Toronto, all feature natural latex layers and may have something in your budget.

we find being sure of PPP difficult as it takes time to really relax and get a feel for the mattress in 5 min intervals (where we are also changing positions)

Since you’re referencing “PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and your own Personal preferences)” I’m guessing you’ve checked out TMU’s mattress shopping tutorial? Phoenix does a thorough job guiding consumers through the complexities of buying a new mattress, a really good guide for understanding the research and purchase process.

Keep in touch and let us know how things go.

Cheers,
Sensei
