⭐⭐⭐⭐½ | Reviewed after 4 months of nightly use | The mattress is provided by Parent Tested Parent Approved
My husband and I slept on a memory foam mattress from Wayfair for several years. It was relatively cheap and at first we thought we had scored big. But here’s the thing about financial strata: they don’t always age gracefully.
After a few years, our Wayfair mattress developed two very defined grooves right where we slept every night. My husband and I are not small people, but we felt that the mattress should have held its shape better than it did. We woke up feeling like we were sleeping in shallow trenches and getting out of bed became an uphill exercise. It was time for a change.
When Parent Tested Parent Approved gave me the chance to test the Endy mattress, I jumped at the chance to replace Wayfair’s wavy disaster.
The short answer: The Endy mattress is a really great choice for couples and side sleepers who want quality Canadian-made foam without the luxury price tag. After four months of nightly use, my husband and I have no regrets.

What we tried
King Size Endy Mattress, Medium-Hard Dimensions: 80" M x 76" W x 10" H| Weight: 90 lbs Price: ~$1,299 CAD (varies with offers)
Setup: really easy
The compressed box was manageable (44" x 18" x 18" ), and we got it upstairs without the usual chaos of moving furniture. Installation took about 10 minutes: place the box, cut the outer packaging, unwrap it on the frame, cut the inner plastic and watch it expand. Let it sit for a few hours as recommended.
One thing I was prepared for: the smell of off-gassing. I was reading horror stories. Ours smelled faintly like foam – almost like a mild nail polish smell – but only if you pressed your face directly into it. He was gone by morning. If you are sensitive to smells, a 24-hour ventilation window completely solves it.
Comfort: what sleep actually feels like at four months
The mid-stability 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. This is noticeably firmer than our old Wayfair mattress.
Side sleeping (me): Relieving pressure on my shoulders and hips is the single biggest improvement in my sleep life. Almost every morning I woke up with numbness in my arm and pain in my hip. Four months later, this is completely gone. The top layer of comfort cushions without creating a hammock effect – my spine stays aligned while pressure points are really relieved. 9/10.
Back sleeps (my husband): He is devoted to sleep. Endy’s medium firm feel gives his lumbar curve plenty of cushioning while keeping his spine aligned. Still snoring (can’t blame that on the mattress) but no indentations or sagging. 8/10.
Stomach sleeper (me, occasionally): Committed stomach sleepers probably need a firmer surface to prevent arching of the lower back. In my opinion, it’s a 6/10 for stomach sleeping — good for occasional position changes, not good as a primary position. To be fair, I like a fluffy, firm pillow, so changing up a level might help,.
Motion isolation: this alone may be worth the price
My husband wakes up at 2am most nights and I go straight to sleep. I deliberately tested it by having him stand up while I lay there watching. I barely registered it. For couples (especially those with different schedules or restless sleepers), this is huge.
Temperature regulation: better than expected, not perfect
Foam mattresses have a reputation for warmth, and our old Wayfair mattress certainly slept warm. Endy is better — the cover has a breathable feel to it and I didn’t have any "he sleeps in a sauna" nights. That said, on warmer nights, I did notice some heat retention. A fan or lighter bedding can handle it (also, not being a woman in her 50s would probably help a lot), but hot sleepers should know to get in. 7/10.
Sitting on edge to put on shoes or sleeping close to the perimeter causes noticeable compression.
Sitting on edge to put on shoes or sleeping close to the perimeter causes noticeable compression. There is no perimeter reinforcement here like a hybrid mattress would have. It wasn’t 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
That was our biggest stress after the Wayfair situation. After four months, Endy’s surface is uniformly flat. No body impressions. No center drop. The foam has not softened too much. The cover shows zero wear. These are all early indicators and I will update this review in a year, but the signs are really reassuring. 9/10.
Is it worth $1,299 CAD?
The Wayfair mattress cost about $500 and was uncomfortable within three years. If Endy lasts 8–10 years – which seems reasonable based on how it’s held up so far – the cost per year is actually lower. And the difference in sleep quality is significant enough that it has improved our daily lives in ways that are hard to put a dollar amount on.
Compared to luxury brands in the $3,000+ range, the Endy competes on the features that matter most to most people. It’s a really strong mid-range option.
Who should buy Endy?
Great for couples with different sleeping positions, side beds and people who want Canadian made without paying luxury prices. The 100-night trial takes most of the risk out – you can return it for free if it doesn’t work for you.
In my opinion, it’s not the right appeal for dedicated stomach sleepers or anyone who needs strong limb support.
The essence
Four months later, the Endy fixed the things that actually made our mornings miserable: the shoulder pain, the movement disorder, the surface loosening. It’s not flawless – limb support and stomach sleeping are real limitations – but for the way we actually sleep, it delivers.
Would we buy it again? Without hesitation.
