4 Differences Worth Knowing
When you’re committing to the bed for the next decade, these things matter.
Specialist vs generalist.
The Brick sells mattresses, sofas, dining sets, fridges, washers, and TVs. Their staff rotate across categories. Modern Mattress sells one thing, mattresses and the systems that support them, so every staff member fits beds for a living. That depth shows up in 30 minutes on the showroom floor.
Saskatchewan is our whole business.
The Brick is a national chain with stores across Canada. Modern Mattress operates 6 stores, all in Saskatchewan. Every buying decision, every warranty call, and every delivery is handled by people who live here. When something goes wrong, you talk to the store you bought from. Not a head-office queue.
A mattress alone rarely gets you all the way there.
We match you to a complete Sleep System: the right mattress, the right adjustable base for your sleep position, pillows matched to your shoulder width, and a protector that keeps the system performing. That’s harder to do at a store where mattresses share floor space with refrigerators.
Designed in Saskatchewan. Made in Canada.
We design our own mattress collections here in Saskatchewan and manufacture every bed in Canada. The Brick carries third-party mattress brands, some Canadian-made and some imported, alongside their other product lines. With us, the bed you lie on was built by a team you can actually meet.
A showroom shows you mattresses.
A fitting shows you which one is yours.
About 30 minutes. No appointment. Walk in, tell us what’s wrong with your sleep, and we’ll show you what your body actually responds to. And why.
Common Questions
For a Saskatchewan shopper buying primarily a mattress, Modern Mattress offers a more specialized experience. We sell mattresses and sleep systems. That’s our entire business. The Brick is a multi-category retailer (furniture, appliances, electronics, mattresses), so floor staff handle many product categories. Modern Mattress also designs its own collections in Saskatchewan, manufactures every mattress in Canada, and runs a 30-minute Discovery Experience to body-map and recommend a complete sleep system. The Brick has Saskatchewan locations and convenience if you’re also shopping for furniture or appliances.
Yes. The Brick operates stores in Saskatchewan, including in Saskatoon and Regina, alongside other Western Canadian markets. Modern Mattress has 6 Saskatchewan locations: two in Saskatoon (North and Rosewood), two in Regina (Prince of Wales and Modern Mattress Regina Outlet), one in Moose Jaw, and one in Yorkton.
Trial terms at The Brick vary by mattress brand and current promotion. Some brands they carry include a comfort trial, others do not. Modern Mattress offers the 100 Night Sleep Guarantee across every collection. Sleep on it for up to 100 nights; if the feel isn’t right, come back in and we’ll reselect together: one in-store comfort exchange per purchase, with a $99 exchange fee. Pay the difference if your new pick costs more, or get the difference back if it costs less. It’s an exchange program, not a refund policy (full details), with no shipping and no third-party brand return process.
Both retailers carry mattresses across a wide price range. The Brick’s entry models generally price below our mid-tier and they run frequent promotional sales; prices move on both sides, so check both. Our Queen prices start from $597 on the Modern collection and reach into premium tiers, with Flexiti 0% financing for 12 months, on approved credit, and a one-time $90 admin fee. The bigger question is fit: the cheaper mattress that’s wrong for your body costs you more over a decade of sleep. The Discovery Experience is free. Visit a store and we’ll show you what fits.
The Discovery Experience is Modern Mattress’s in-store matching process. A trained sleep consultant asks about your sleep issues (back pain, overheating, pressure points, partner movement), uses body-mapping to read your pressure points and spinal alignment, then narrows the lineup to 2–3 complete sleep systems that address your specific problems. The process takes about 30 minutes and requires no appointment. It’s not available at The Brick.
Yes. Designed in Saskatchewan. Made in Canada. All Modern Mattress collections (Modern, Emma, Studio, Classic, Luna, Signature, Natural, Hybrid Luxe, Artisan) are designed in Saskatchewan and manufactured in Canada. The Brick carries third-party mattress brands, some Canadian-made and others imported, so check the manufacturer label of any specific model.
