Delivery Costs

Q? How much is delivery?
Delivery of The Hard Bed™ Mattress is included to most locations across Canada. Please note that we can only deliver to a physical street address and that we do not deliver to Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut or Labrador at this time.

Are you in the Calgary or Edmonton areas? Our professional in-home delivery service will bring your Hard Bed inside, unpack, place on your bed frame and remove the packaging materials when they're done. They can even take away your old mattress!


Return Policy

Q? Hard Bed is too hard. Can I return it?
No. It's called Hard Bed. Please do not order unless you are wanting an extremely firm mattress.


Shipping Process

Q? How does Hard Bed arrive?
Hard Bed is conveniently vacuum-compressed and rolled in a manageable carton. We recommend removing Hard Bed from the carton as it's much easier to lift and move out of the packaging. There is a plastic sleeve around the mattress which prevents it from expanding and unrolling. Simply place where you intend to use Hard Bed, and then carefully cut along the plastic sleeve to open Hard Bed up. Our delivery company will do all of this for you, if we're delivering in our local Calgary, Edmonton & Sherwood Park store areas.

  1. Place Your Order
    • Place your order securely online, or call us toll-free on 1-877-750-1212.
    • Our team will prepare your order for dispatch. This typically happens within 1-2 business days of receiving your order.
    • Your payment method will be charged once your mattress is prepared for shipment.
  2. Dispatched & En-route
    • Once your shipment has been arranged, we'll automatically update your order status and provide you with a tracking number.
    • Estimated arrival dates are indeed estimates. Although these quoted dates are accurate the vast majority of the time, please do check the status of your tracking number periodically.
    • If your order has multiple items, you may receive each item on different days. Each individual box will have it's own tracking number.
  3. Out For Delivery
    • Once your tracking number shows "Out for Delivery", our courier partner will make a delivery attempt that day between 9 am and 7 pm.
    • Due to the value of the mattress, we require a signature for delivery.
    • In some cases, a delivery notice will be left with further instructions.

If no one is typically home during the day, please consider having Hard Bed shipped to your place of employment. Hard Bed will easily fit in most vehicles for easy transport. Smaller cars may need to have the outer cardboard carton removed so that the mattress will fit on the back seat or in the trunk with the seats folded down.


Unboxing Hard Bed

Hard Bed ships from Calgary or Edmonton direct to your door in a compact, easy-to-handle recyclable carton. Tight on space? No problem! Because Hard Bed is compressed and rolled, it's easy to move. Simply place the carton near where you'll be setting up and open it up. Follow along with our unboxing photos below!

Are you in the Calgary or Edmonton areas? Our in-home delivery teams will take care of all the work for you at no extra cost!

Why is Hard Bed Made in China and not in Canada?

From the moment we came up with our solution to Firm Support Sleeping, one of our goals was to have Hard Bed manufactured in Canada. Unfortunately, we have not found a manufacturer in Canada capable of producing Hard Bed to our specification and quality standard.

We have made contact with virtually every mattress manufacturer from coast to coast and have provided our exacting specification to each of them, with the hope of finding a partner. However, to this date, we have not yet found a manufacturer in Canada capable of producing Hard Bed to the level of quality that we feel is necessary for such a unique mattress.

We understand that China does not perhaps have the best reputation when it comes to quality goods. However, in this specific circumstance, we can unequivocally state that Hard Bed would not be the unique high-quality solution that it is, if it were made anywhere else.

The Mattress & Sleep Company is still committed to our goal of having Hard Bed manufactured in Canada in the future. We continue to have regular dialogue with Canadian manufacturers. If there is a manufacturer that can produce our specification and meet or exceed the quality of our current manufacturer in China, we will gladly make the change. It isn't even a question of price - we know it will cost more to produce in Canada and we're prepared to pay more for Canadian manufacturing!

Our number-one priority is to offer our customers the best-performing extra-firm mattress in Canada. Due to this requirement, we will not compromise on the materials used to make Hard Bed, even if that means having it manufactured outside of Canada.

We continue to work on our ultimate goal of manufacturing Hard Bed in Canada and will gladly make the change if and when we're able to build it here without compromising our specification.
