⭐⭐⭐⭐½ | Reviewed after 4 months of nightly use | Mattress provided by Parent Tested Parent Approved
My husband and I had been sleeping on a memory foam mattress from Wayfair for several years. It was relatively inexpensive, and at first, we thought we'd scored a great deal. But here's the thing about budget mattresses: they don't always age gracefully.
After a few years, our Wayfair mattress developed two very defined ruts exactly where we slept each night. My husband and I aren't small people, but we felt the mattress should have kept its form better than it did. We'd wake up feeling like we were sleeping in shallow trenches, and getting out of bed became an exercise in rolling uphill. It was time for a change.
When Parent Tested Parent Approved gave me the opportunity to test the Endy mattress, I jumped at the chance to replace our wavy Wayfair disaster.
The short answer: The Endy mattress is a genuinely excellent choice for couples and side sleepers who want quality Canadian-made foam without a luxury price tag. After four months of nightly use, my husband and I have zero regrets.

What we tested
King Size Endy Mattress, Medium-Firm Dimensions: 80" L x 76" W x 10" H | Weight: 90 lbs Price: ~$1,299 CAD (varies with promotions)
Setup: genuinely easy
The compressed box was manageable (44" x 18" x 18" ), and we got it upstairs without the usual furniture-moving chaos. Setup took about 10 minutes: position the box, cut the outer packaging, unroll onto the frame, cut the inner plastic, and watch it expand. We let it sit for a few hours as recommended.
One thing I was bracing for: off-gassing smell. I'd read horror stories. Ours smelled faintly like foam – almost like a mild nail polish odor – but only if you pressed your face directly into it. It was gone by morning. If you're sensitive to smells, a 24-hour airing-out window solves it completely.
Comfort: what four months of sleeping on it actually feels like
The medium-firm feel landed right in the middle of the scale – I'd call it a 6.5 out of 10, where 1 is a cloud and 10 is the floor. That's noticeably firmer than our old Wayfair mattress.
Side sleeping (me): The pressure relief on my shoulders and hips is the single biggest improvement in my sleep life. I used to wake up with arm numbness and hip ache almost every morning. Four months in, that's completely gone. The top comfort layer cushions without creating a hammock effect – my spine stays aligned while my pressure points get actual relief. 9/10.
Back sleeping (my husband): He's a dedicated back sleeper. The Endy's medium-firm feel gives his lumbar curve enough cushioning while keeping his spine aligned. He still snores (I can't blame that on the mattress) but there are no indentations or sagging. 8/10.
Stomach sleeping (me, occasionally): Dedicated stomach sleepers probably need a firmer surface to prevent lower back arching. In my opinion, it's a 6/10 for stomach sleeping — fine for occasional position changes, not great as a primary position. In fairness, I like a fluffy, firm pillow, so changing to a flat pillow might help this.
Motion isolation: this alone might be worth the price
My husband gets up at 2 AM most nights, and I sleep straight through it. I tested this deliberately by having him get up while I lay there paying attention. I barely registered it. For couples (especially those with different schedules or restless sleepers) this is huge.
Temperature regulation: better than expected, not perfect
All-foam mattresses have a heat reputation, and our old Wayfair mattress definitely slept hot. The Endy is better — the cover feels breathable and I haven't had any "sleeping in a sauna" nights. That said, on warmer nights, I did notice some heat retention. A fan or a lighter bedding can handle it (also, not being a woman in her 50s would probably help a lot), but hot sleepers should know going in. 7/10.
Sitting on the edge to put on shoes or sleeping near the perimeter produces noticeable compression.
Sitting on the edge to put on shoes or sleeping near the perimeter produces noticeable compression. There's no perimeter reinforcement here the way a hybrid mattress would have. It hasn't been a practical issue for us because we're not edge sleepers, but if you regularly use the full sleeping surface or like to sit on the edge of the bed, this might bother you. 6/10.
Durability: so far, so good
This was our biggest anxiety after the Wayfair situation. Four months in, the Endy's surface is uniformly flat. No body impressions. No center sag. The foam hasn't excessively softened. The cover shows zero wear. These are all early indicators, and I'll update this review at one year, but the signs are genuinely reassuring. 9/10.
Is it worth $1,299 CAD?
Our Wayfair mattress cost around $500 and was uncomfortable within three years. If the Endy lasts 8–10 years – which seems plausible based on how it's held up so far – the cost per year is actually lower. And the sleep quality difference is significant enough that it's improved our daily lives in ways that are hard to put a dollar figure on.
Compared to luxury brands in the $3,000+ range, the Endy competes on the features that matter most for most people. It's a genuinely strong mid-range option.
Who should buy the Endy
It's a great fit for couples with different sleep positions, side sleepers, and people who want Canadian-made without paying luxury prices. The 100-night trial removes most of the risk – you can return it free if it doesn't work for you.
In my opinion, it's not the right call for dedicated stomach sleepers or anyone who needs strong edge support.
The bottom line
Four months in, the Endy has fixed the things that were actually making our mornings miserable: the shoulder pain, the motion disruption, the sagging surface. It's not flawless – edge support and stomach sleeping are real limitations – but for the way we actually sleep, it delivers.
Would we buy it again? Without hesitation.
