As Canadian parents look ahead to 2026, ensuring their children get a restful and supportive night's sleep remains a top priority. The right mattress is a cornerstone of that mission. To help families navigate the market, the CTV Shopping Trends team has compiled an essential guide to the best kids mattresses available in Canada and where to find them.
What Makes a Great Mattress for a Child?
Selecting a mattress for a growing child involves more than just picking a comfortable size. Key considerations include support for developing spines, hypoallergenic materials for sensitive sleepers, and durability to withstand years of use. The guide emphasizes options that balance firmness for proper support with enough cushioning for comfort, all while using safe, non-toxic materials. The prices listed were accurate as of October 21, 2025, and the team commits to keeping information as current as possible, though shoppers may encounter slight changes.
Top Picks and Where to Shop for Them
While the full guide details specific models and brands, it highlights reputable Canadian retailers and direct-to-consumer brands known for quality and value. One featured example is a mattress from Endy, a popular Canadian brand often recognized for its bed-in-a-box convenience and commitment to comfort. The guide serves as a practical starting point, directing parents to trusted sources where they can compare features, read reviews, and make an informed purchase that fits their budget and their child's needs.
More Than Just a Place to Sleep
Investing in a quality kids mattress is an investment in a child's overall health and well-being. Proper sleep is directly linked to improved mood, better concentration at school, and healthy physical development. This guide from the CTV Shopping Trends team is designed to empower parents with the knowledge to choose a mattress that contributes positively to their child's daily life.
