The Hard Bed™ Mattress

I rarely write reviews, but after experiencing the Hard Bed mattress from The Mattress and Sleep Co., I feel absolutely compelled to share. This is, without a doubt, the best mattress I have ever slept on.

From the moment I laid down, I could tell this wasn't your average mattress. The Hard Bed delivers exactly what it promises – firm like a brick, in the best way possible. It's not “kinda firm” pretending to be firm. It is extreme firm, supportive, and incredibly well-crafted. If you've been searching for a mattress that doesn't sag, doesn't sink, and actually supports your back the way it should – this is it.

The delivery process was efficient and seamless. Living two provinces away I placed my order on a Sunday afternoon and within 4 days it was already at my doorstep well-packaged and ready to use. That level of service made the experience even better.

I've tried numerous high-end brands claiming to offer firm mattresses, but none of them come close to the Hard Bed. I sleep like a rock every night, wake up without back pain, and feel more rested than I have in years.

The online description was spot-on and delivers exactly what they advertise – no fluff, just solid performance.

To those who know the struggle of finding a truly firm mattress – look no further. The Hard Bed is a game changer. Thank you, The Mattress and Sleep Co., for finally making a product that lives up to the hype. You've earned a loyal customer for life.

Hard Bed Mattress – Truly Firm and Truly Amazing

I rarely leave reviews, but the Hard Bed from The Mattress & Sleep Co. deserves it. This is the firmest, most supportive mattress I’ve ever slept on—exactly as advertised. No sagging, no sinking—just solid, brick-like support that has completely eliminated my back pain and improved my sleep.

Delivery was fast and flawless—I ordered on a Sunday and had it at my door, two provinces away, in just four days. I’ve tried many so-called “firm” mattresses before, but none come close.

If you’ve been searching for a genuinely extra-firm mattress that delivers on its promise, this is it. I’m beyond satisfied and now a loyal customer for life.

I tried every ‘hard' or ‘firm' mattress on the market— they never were what they claimed. Don't even get me started on memory foam mattresses ~ absolutely awful for the back. But I digress, none of these orthopaedic mattresses were truly hard or firm or good for the back while still being uber comfortably … until I got a Hard Bed.

Absolutely the best sleeps I've ever experienced.

Wow! I'm never going back to another mattress. I've had my hard bed for about 11 mos and wanted to wait a good amount of time to write a review. All (most) mattresses that claim to be hard will be so in the beginning but then start to sag or lose their firmness etc.

Not my hard bed! It's just as firm as the first night, nearly a year ago and still as comfortable.

Besides my glowing recommendation that this mattress is actually firm and STAYS firm It's also flippable. Not to be overlooked as a negligible feature. The hard bed has a huge advantage in being able to be flipped, compared to every other mattress I've bought.

One little criticism is that I really wish it had handles. Mattresses with handles are… well handy to have for said flipping or moving it around at all.

I'd also love the see the Hard Bed logo on each end. Purely aesthetic I know! But It's a cool logo show it off.

I love my hard bed :) There, that's my review. Oh! And It's Canadian. How can you not love that.

Love it

This bed definitely lived up to its name…at first? But I've noticed that there is a noticeable difference between where I sleep and the places where I don't sleep. Where I sleep has definitely gotten softer. Not enough for me to hate the mattress as it still remains firmer than any other foam mattress we have tried. Weight may have something to do with it, so just know it might not stay as firm as it comes out of the box.

Its great. Not that hard honestly. Like if you want a firm mattress, this is a good choice, but it is not like sleeping on a baord. It has some give and is a very comfortable sleep. I run hot, and it doesnt sleep hot to me. So, if you like a firm mattress, this is good choice.

I've been going through firm mattresses like crazy trying to find one to help with my back and neck problems, and then I stumbled upon this one. I figured why not give it it try? WOW was I blown away by the support this thing gives me, It's hard as heck but that's exactly what I wanted, like sleeping on a brick cloud fusion. My body thanks you Hard Bed ❤️

We were worried that this bed would not be hard enough - never fear!! This mattress truly is the firmest we've ever slept on, and we love a good hard European-type mattress that is hard to find in Canada. Delivery was painless and fast; we had our mattress within a week and it was easy to bring upstairs and unroll.

We have alternated rotating and flipping every three months as directed and there are no soft spots or indentations like you see with other foam mattresses.

If you want a little softness, you can add a topper, but do try it first to see if you really want it.

All in all, great value and a great product.

Finally going back to the old style mattress, rotatable and can be flipped over. Being born with scoliosis, just enough of an unnatural curve in my spine with lifelong discomfort, pain and numbness, it is so important for me to have proper support when sleeping. This mattress gives it and is very comfortable. For the last three mornings I actually got out of bed without any pain and numbness. 35 years ago I had a similar one and now I am so glad that I went back to a very firm mattress. If I could give six stars, I would. Thank you very much for such a great product!

my husband and I are so happy with the hard bed, it is very firm and comfortable. exactly what we were looking for. ordering was very easy, delivery took some time but it was worth the wait. best bed we have ever bought and great quality

I just purchased the Hard Bed and spent my first night on it. Never slept on a mattress so comfortable and stable in all my life and I am 66 years old.
This bed should be renamed 'The Healing Mattress'. It aligns the spine and the body and heals both the body and the mind. Thanks to the Mattress and Sleep Company for ending my long search for the perfect mattress.

Have had this bed for two years now and weigh 200-210 with hip and shoulder problems. Treats me so much better than any other bed!

I LOVE my Hard Bed mattress 💜 Best mattress I've ever owned, hands down. -review originally appeared on our Facebook page.

This reviewer left a 5-star rating.

...however, this mattress 100% exceeded my expectations. It's very, very firm. Yet, for some reason, it's also compliant. While I knew I wanted an extra firm mattress, I didn't realize it would actually be 'comfortable'. It's hard to describe, it's not like laying on the floor. There is some small amount of give in the surface of the mattress that immediately gives way to a hard layer underneath. I've never experienced a firm bed like it, and I can see now why it has such good reviews.

I spent hours researching extra firm mattress choices. This one was not the least expensive choice, but I thought it was worth it with the ability to flip the mattress over. This should make it last longer. I am really happy that I did choose the HardBed. It improved my sleep quality from day one. I have had it for about 10 months now and it shows zero signs of softening so far. I have never had a mattress that didn't soften up after even a short period of time.

My son requires a very hard bed due to back issues. He did his research and came up with the Hard Bed. He was reluctant for us to order it for him
In case it wasn't what he needed for a good sleep. After many phone calls with both Christine and Christo and also photos of Christo laying on the mattress we ordered it. It came quickly to BC and my son has been sleeping on it for a week now. He reported this morning that it actually isn't as hard as he thought it would be but he no longer feels like he is sleeping in a hammock! (His mattress of 8 months was firm.) He is waking up feeling better than he has in a long time. Thank you.

Have been sleeping on my new Hard Bed mattress for a couple of weeks now and I love it more than even I thought I would. So much support for your whole body with no 'caving in' !!!! My back feels good upon awaking and I am thrilled. I have to say it has been one of my best purchases!!!

Hard Bed mattress is absolutely great! I've had it for 2 months now and can say that it's been years since I slept this well, night after night. Also, the mattress got delivered just 3 days after I placed the order. In fact, they wanted to deliver it in just 2 days, but I wasn't ready as I never expected such a lightening fast service. I have nothing but the best experience with these guys, from placing an order, through immediate followups from them, to the fastest delivery ever and finally to the great product quality!

Not only is it a great super firm mattress, it is double sided which will help it last longer by turning and flipping it regularly. If you have low back issues like me, you will love this one. It takes a couple of weeks for your body to get used to having proper support, but once you do, you body will thank you. Well done! (This review originally appeared on tmasc.ca)

My wife has spine problem so we have to buy a hard bed. We used for 2 months now and it has been a best purchase i ever made. (This review originally appeared on tmasc.ca)

After going through two 'firm' mattresses in five years we opted to take a chance and order something really hard online, knowing we could not return it. It did not disappoint. This mattress is not for everyone, but if you are looking for a flat sleeping surface with minimum flex and sag it might just change your life for the better. - review originally appeared on Google

Honestly I love the hard bed mattress, it's just so great for my back. The only thing I might suggest is some big font warning to make sure your bed frame is the right size. I have a queen platform captain bed but it was just slightly too small, so I ended up buying $220 in wood slats to fill the base so the mattress could lay flat . totally worth it!

My wife (200 lbs) and I (280 lbs) first had a ripoff ($3500) king Tempur-Pedic bed for about 9 years, but it was causing too much back pain for us, slept WAY too hot, and the box springs were absolute garbage. We wouldn't even last until midway through the night without sinking into the bed as the high body heat softened the memory foam. The box springs are wood framed with foam so they eventually made loud creeking noises; so loud we had to get them warrantied, but the new ones started again within months and we were fed up. That's why we went to Douglas Bed; I'm a total stomach sleeper and they typically need a firmer bed. We tested the Douglas Bed for the full trial as it was one of the hardest beds (around 7) we could find with a trial, cooling effect (didn't feel it, but didn't sleep hot), and shipped within Canada. We wanted to like it so bad and almost were going to keep it as we didn't think we'd find much better; but it just wasn't giving us a good enough sleep still having some back pain in the morning even without additional sinking midway through the night. The Douglas was definitely better than the ripoff Tempur-Pedic, and both had great customer service. I'm not intending to bash either, except the outrageous price of the significantly inferior Tempur-Pedic, but these are my honest feelings about both. I'd never recommend a Tempur-Pedic at their ripoff prices, but definitely a Douglas to a side or back sleeper who is more average or a bit overweight. Enter the Hard Bed. This thing is FIRM. Not plywood firm, but even for a heavy guy this feels real firm. The first few nights my back hurt probably adjusting from my former beds. After 1 month, this is like sleeping on the floor with a thick foam topper underneath you; it's GREAT! There's only a slight sink into the mattress which I would say feels like an inch. Just like the Douglas I didn't feel a cooling effect, but didn't sleep hot at all. The Hard Bed doesn't advertise a cooling effect like Douglas though, so that's great it felt the same. We have a newborn and my wife has to sleep with him on her chest so she needs to sleep sitting up on pillows. The Douglas was causing her back to hurt because of this, but the hard bed was a CURE. No more problems! Even sleeping in a normal position she loves it as a side sleeper. No more back pain for me either, and am sleeping much better. The edges are not as firm as the body of the bed, but compress only a little more, nothing drastic. I love that it's an old school flip and turn mattress which should give it a ton more life than most beds in a box. I smelled nothing chemical when opened, and feel that it fully expanded after 24 hours although we slept on it about 5 hours after opening. I built a new bed with wood slats as we wanted a new bed, and didn't want to use a box spring anymore; this has been great for us, and was probably started by those terrible box springs we had before. I was hesitant because of the lack of a trial, and my wife said no at first reluctantly settling with the Douglas. She was desperate enough for a solution after weeks of back pain with the baby that I convinced her to do it as there wasn't a much harder bed between the Douglas and the Hard Bed to try. We both knew we wanted a VERY firm bed, but didn't know what the firmness ratings meant until trying them. So if you know you need a super firm bed too then get the Hard Bed! At ~$1200 it was definitely worth the price increase over the Douglas Bed (~$900); no regrets! By the way, I ordered on a Friday and it was at my house on Monday from Alberta to BC by free Purolator shipping; that's quick service! (This review originally appeared on tmasc.ca)

I searched for a new mattress for months. The search was more difficult than most because I require a very firm mattress for my body type and way I sleep and that type is not widely available. I went to every mattress store in the city and browsed all the ones I could find online. After all my testing (done pre-isolation restrictions) I had it narrowed down two mattresses; the Tempur-Pedic Firm mattress and the Hard Bed. The Tempur-Pedic had one thing up on the Hard Bed, a longer history of the product and reviews. However, after having spent my last 9 years on an overpriced memory foam/gel combo bed and being greatly disappointed by it's lack of longevity, I had to question whether the higher price tag on the "brand name" would really pay off in the long run. The Hard Bed won me over for many different reasons. First, the affordability. It wasn't the cheapest mattress out there but was by no means the most expensive (added bonus, it happened to be on sale when I bought it). I believe you get what you pay for in quality but you can also overpay for quality and the Hard Bed is at the top of its class in quality equalling affordability. Second, ease of purchase and delivery (not technically a review on the mattress itself but its relevant). The fact that I was able to pick it up from the store, in my VW Beetle, and haul it into the house by myself was highly convenient. The mattress being compressed and rolled up made it super easy to get it in the house and in the bedroom to set it up (I wash I could share pics to show you.)Third, quality. Not only is this mattress made with high quality products, they are utilized in the most functional way possible. I am not a small person, this is one of the reasons I need a firm mattress. I can lay on this mattress ANYWHERE without it "sucking" me in. I lay on top of the mattress and am supported no matter where I lay. I was particularly impressed this morning when I realized I was laying on the very edge of the mattress with my arm hanging off and the edge wasn't compressing and causing me to roll off the bed. Fourth, it's "old style". You can and should flip this mattress. To extend the life of anything, you are supposed to rotate and utilize the entire product yet for years we have only been using 50% of our mattresses and expecting 100% quality and life from them. I fully expect to be able to use this mattress for many years longer than any other mattress I have ever had because I can flip it. I expect to have many, many, many, many excellent nights of sleep on my Hard Bed and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for the perfect firm mattress.
