Queen Queen Split Head King Split Head Extra Firm Springwall® Adjustable Bed Compatible Mattresses All Mattresses
Extra firm mattresses are the firmest, most supportive feel we carry — a hard, no-sink surface that holds your body on top of the mattress rather than letting it settle in. They're built for stomach sleepers, heavier-weight sleepers and anyone who finds a standard firm mattress still too soft, delivering maximum support and spinal alignment. Most use a tight-top or high-density foam construction (including orthopedic Chirofoam), with budget-friendly options that keep extra-firm support affordable. Shop Beautyrest, Serta, Chirofoam, Springwall and our own NM line — from $152, with free delivery across Canada. • Feel: extra firm is the firmest of our four comfort levels — a hard, no-sink surface • Best for: stomach sleepers, heavier-weight sleepers, and anyone who wants maximum support • Choose this over firm if a standard firm mattress still feels too soft • Consider firm or medium if you sleep on your side or want any cushioning • Constructions: tight-top and high-density foam (including orthopedic Chirofoam) • Brands: Beautyrest, Serta, Chirofoam, Springwall & NM • Prices: from $152 — an affordable, value-focused selection

Not every mattress can bend with an adjustable base — but these can. Every mattress here is built to flex with the head and foot articulation of an adjustable base without damaging the comfort layers, so you can read, relax in Zero-Gravity or elevate your legs with confidence. In fact, over 90% of our mattresses are adjustable-compatible, spanning memory foam, hybrid and pocket-coil constructions from every brand — NM, Sealy, Serta, Beautyrest, Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster and more — at every budget from about $109 to premium. Foam and hybrid models flex most easily, while rigid, thick tight-top innersprings generally don't. Pair any of these with one of our adjustable bases, and every mattress comes with a 365-night sleep trial and free delivery across Canada. • What this means: mattresses built to flex with an adjustable base's head & foot articulation • Over 90% of our mattresses are adjustable-compatible — every brand, every budget ($109+) • Best constructions for adjustable bases: memory foam, hybrid and pocket-coil • What usually won't work: rigid, thick tight-top innersprings that don't bend • Pairs with our adjustable bases (including split-king for independent sides) • Every order: 365-night sleep trial, price-match guarantee & free Canada-wide delivery

Express ShippingHow to Choose a Mattress
Choosing a mattress comes down to three decisions: what holds you up, how firm it feels, and what size fits your room and the people in the bed. Everything else follows from those. The support layer underneath determines how the bed behaves over years of use, while the comfort layers on top decide how it feels on the first night, and the two are worth judging separately. National Mattress carries innerspring, hybrid, memory foam and latex construction from Sealy, Serta, Beautyrest, Stearns & Foster, Tempur-Pedic, MLILY, Chirofoam, Springwall, Marshall Mattress, Evergreen and our own NM line.
Firmness is a fit rather than a quality rating. Side sleepers usually want medium or plush, so the shoulder and hip can sink far enough to keep the spine straight. Back sleepers usually want medium to firm, which fills the lumbar curve. Stomach sleepers want the firm end, so the hips are not allowed to drop below the ribs, and extra firm belongs there and to heavier sleepers. If you share the bed and your answers differ, a pocketed coil support system limits how much of your movement reaches the other side, and choosing a larger size does more for a shared bed than any single feature. Firmness on our mattresses runs extra firm, firm, medium and plush.
🛏 Coil, Foam, Hybrid or Latex
In a pocket coil bed each spring sits in its own fabric pocket and compresses on its own, so far less of your movement reaches the other side. A connected coil unit links the springs together for a firmer, more uniform surface at a lower price. All-foam beds contour closely and make no noise. Latex is springier than memory foam and does not hold heat the same way.
💤 Firmness by Sleep Position
Side sleepers need the surface to give at the shoulder and hip. Back sleepers want medium to firm, enough to fill the lumbar curve without flattening it. Stomach sleepers want the firm end, which keeps the hips level with the ribs. If you move between positions all night, medium is the safest place to start. Body weight shifts this too: a heavier sleeper compresses any comfort layer further and generally reads a mattress as softer than a lighter sleeper does.
👥 Sharing the Bed
Two things decide whether a shared bed works: motion transfer and edge support. Pocketed coils and a foam-encased perimeter mean far less of your movement reaches the other side, and they keep the outer few inches usable rather than collapsing when you sit on them. If one of you sleeps hot, that is a materials question, and it is worth solving on the comfort layer rather than compromising on firmness.
📏 Get the Size Right First
Size is the one decision you cannot adjust later with a topper. Measure the room, then measure the route in: stairwell turns, doorways and elevator depth are what actually stop a delivery. A queen suits most couples, a king buys shoulder room, and twin XL is the length growing teenagers and taller single sleepers need.
