With everything to unpack, fix, and maintain over the course of a cottage weekend, we deserve a good sleep. Unfortunately, the mattresses we “retire” at the cottage are often an uncomfortable afterthought. If you and your cottage guests are being poked and prodded by squeaky springs, here are four of the most comfortable mattresses to help you and your guests get a great night’s sleep.
Douglas: the best bed-in-a-box
Lugging a mattress to your cottage is no joke, especially if you have water-only access. That’s why the “bed in a box” trend has become so popular among vacation property owners. If you’re choosing that route, you can’t go wrong with the award-winning, Canadian-made Douglass mattress, as its more than 175,000 satisfied Canadian customers and nearly 13,000 five-star reviews suggest.
Not only is it ranked one of the country’s best mattress options, but based on glowing customer reviews, Douglas mattress owners consider it the most comfortable mattress in Canada. And at a starting price of $599, it’s an incredible value—especially if you have multiple rooms to furnish. Its layer of cooling gel foam is perfect for summer nights at the cottage, and its medium-firm feel suits most sleepers, making it great for guest bedrooms and even better for hosts who crave a good night’s sleep after a busy day. You can also rest easy thanks to its year-long sleep trial and a 20-year warranty.

Logan & Cove: the best hotel mattress
If you’re more of a “glamper” than a camper, the Logan & Cover lineup of luxury hybrid mattresses offer sound cottage snoozing with the high-end comfort of an expensive hotel mattress. But don’t let the luxe label sway you—pricing for the Logan & Cove starts at an accessible $799.
Each Logan & Cove mattress is handcrafted in Canada. It features a five-zone coil system beneath multiple layers of premium foam and a quilted cover woven with cooling nano fibres for hot summer nights. To live up to its luxury status, each mattress comes with a 15-year warranty and year-long sleep trial, along with a bedding bundle comprising premium pillows, a cotton sheet set, a mattress protector, and pillow protectors.

And with durable, Canadian-made mattresses starting at under $500, Juno is the best mattress on this list for guest rooms or furnishing your entire cottage on a budget.

Octave: the best cooling mattress for hot summers
If your cottage doesn’t have an HVAC system, or if you simply run hot during our too-short summers, the Canadian-made Octave mattress is the perfect slumber setup for keeping cool at the lake. It’s made from layers of copper-gel memory foam enhanced with advanced phase-change material, premium Elastex foam, and multi-zone support foam integrated with air channels, all geared towards delivering a finely-tuned mix of cooling, cushioning, and support. It also comes with a machine-washable cover woven with cooling nanofibres for added convenience.
And if that’s not enough to help you sleep soundly, it also comes with a 15-year warranty and year-long sleep trial—all for just $599.
