How to Buy a Mattress.
A mattress is a 7-to-10-year decision — but buying one doesn’t have to be confusing. Here’s the whole process in five clear steps, plus the questions to ask before you commit.
Buy a mattress in this order: start with the problem you want to fix (soreness, sleeping hot, a restless partner, a sagging bed), then choose a type (foam, hybrid, innerspring or latex), a firmness (softer for side sleepers, firmer for back and stomach sleepers), and the right size (Queen for most couples, King for the most room). Then lie on the real mattress in store for at least 10–15 minutes before you decide. Every Modern Mattress comes with a 100 Night Sleep Guarantee, a 10-year warranty, and free local front-door delivery — and we’ll walk you through all of it at 6 Saskatchewan stores.
Buy With Confidence, Not Guesswork.
Work through these in order. Each step has a deeper guide if you want it.
Waking up sore? Sleeping hot? A partner who tosses? A bed that sags in the middle? Name what’s going wrong first — it points you straight to the fix.
Browse Sleep Guides →Foam, hybrid, innerspring or latex — each one feels and supports differently. Match the type to the feel and support you’re after.
Mattress Types Guide →Side sleepers lean softer-to-medium; back and stomach sleepers lean medium-firm to firm. Your sleep position decides this one.
Firmness Guide →Measure your room and frame. Queen is the all-rounder for couples; King gives the most space; Split King lets each side feel different.
Size Guide →Lie on the real mattress for 10–15 minutes in your sleep position. Then complete the system — adjustable base, the right pillow, a protector.

The Discovery Experience.
The hardest part of buying a mattress is knowing which one is right. That’s what our in-store Discovery experience solves. Instead of guessing, our staff ask about how and where you sleep, your aches, and your partner — then guide you to the types and firmness levels that actually fit.
You leave with a mattress chosen for you — tried in person, on the floor, in your real sleep position. It’s available at all 6 Saskatchewan stores.
What to Look For. And What to Skip.
Four things that actually matter when you’re standing in the store.
Support That Keeps You Neutral
The right mattress holds your spine in a straight line — your shoulders and hips sink in just enough, your lower back stays supported. That’s comfort that lasts the night, not just the first minute.
A Feel That Suits How You Sleep
There’s no single “best” firmness — only the best for your sleep position and body. Side sleepers, back sleepers and stomach sleepers each need something different.
The Whole System, Not Just the Mattress
An adjustable base, the right pillow and a protector change how a mattress performs and how long it lasts. Think of it as a sleep system, not a single purchase.
A Trial and Warranty That Back You Up
You can’t fully judge a mattress in 10 minutes. That’s why every Modern Mattress comes with a 100 Night Sleep Guarantee and a 10-year warranty.

Quick Answers.
The questions we hear most before someone buys.
How long should I lie on a mattress before buying?
At least 10–15 minutes, in your normal sleep position — not sitting on the edge. Give your body time to settle. If you share a bed, try it together.
What should I look for?
Support that keeps your spine neutral, a feel that suits your sleep position, the right size for your room and partner, and a trial and warranty that protect you after you buy.
How much does a good mattress cost?
It depends on the type, size and materials. We carry eight collections across a range of budgets, with 0% financing for 12 months through Flexiti to spread the cost.
Is there a trial period?
Yes — every mattress comes with a 100 Night Sleep Guarantee and a 10-year warranty, plus free in-store pickup and free local front-door delivery.
Can you help if my partner and I want different feels?
Absolutely. A Split King lets each side be its own firmness, and on an adjustable base each side raises independently. Ask us in store.
