Toronto makes things. Always has. From the food on Queen West to the furniture in Kensington, this city has a long tradition of local craft done well. Mattresses are no different.

If your bed frame is an antique, your condo has unusual dimensions, you live on a boat, or you just need something that does not come in a standard size, Toronto is one of the best cities in Canada to solve that problem. There are craftspeople here who have been building custom mattresses for decades, and a few organic specialists who can do it with certified natural materials.

This list covers the five best places to get a custom mattress built for exactly your space. We are on this list at number one and we will tell you exactly why. We will also be clear about who each of the other four is best suited for, so you can make the right call for your situation.

Looking for the full breakdown on custom sizing, pricing, how to measure, and what to watch out for? We put together a detailed guide that covers all of it. Read the Ultimate Custom Size Mattress Guide for Toronto here.

Foam Specialists

Foamite has been around for a long time and they know foam. If your custom need is primarily about cutting a specific shape out of a foam block (a v-berth for a sailboat, a tapered cut for a marine application, or a precise RV dimension), Foamite is a solid option. They carry a wide range of foam grades and densities and their cutting operation is well set up for irregular shapes.

Keep in mind this is a factory operation, not a showroom experience. You are getting a foam product, not a finished mattress with a quilted cover, coil support, or layered comfort system. If foam is all you need, they deliver. If you want a complete custom mattress, the other options on this list will serve you better. Their factory is in Vaughan and is open for walk-in visits.

Best for: Marine applications, RV foam cuts, precise shape cutting, single-material foam builds.

Organic Focus

Soma has been in North York for over 20 years and they know their product well. They specialize in natural and organic materials and offer a genuinely personalized in-store experience. Their mattresses are customizable at the comfort level, with options to choose your own layers from top to bottom. For couples, they offer a side-split build so two sleepers with different preferences can share one mattress.

If organic certification and natural materials are your priority alongside a non-standard size, Soma is a worthwhile visit. They are open seven days a week, appointment-friendly, and take their time matching you with the right product. Knowledgeable staff, no pressure, and a good reputation built over two decades in the city.

Best for: Custom sizes using certified organic materials. Shoppers with chemical sensitivities, or anyone who prioritizes natural construction alongside a non-standard size.

Organic Performance

Essentia is a Canadian brand that has built a real reputation in performance sleep. Their top-of-line model, the ProCor P1, is a fully custom organic mattress built around the individual sleeper's posture, spinal type, and body build. It is a serious product at a serious price point, aimed at people who want the most tailored sleep surface available.

Their Toronto showroom is in the Beaches at Queen St East. It is worth a visit if you are in the market for a premium custom organic build. Essentia uses their patented Beyond Latex organic foam with no springs, no synthetic materials, and no chemical flame retardants. If you have a non-standard frame and want a fully custom organic mattress at the high end of the market, this is the most specialized option in the city.

Best for: High-end custom organic builds. Performance-focused sleepers and people with allergies or sensitivities who want the most rigorously certified product available in Toronto.

Largest Organic Selection in the GTA

Dormio has been around since 2010 and carries what is arguably the largest selection of organic mattresses and bedding in Canada. They offer several levels of customization. You can configure your mattress by layer both before and after purchase, and their side-split option lets couples dial in two different feels on one mattress.

Their main location is just outside Toronto in Mississauga on Dundas Street West, an easy drive from most parts of the city. They also offer foundations in multiple heights (4", 7", and 10") which is useful if you need to hit a specific total bed height. Good selection, knowledgeable staff, and a price range that runs from entry-level to full luxury.

Best for: Organic shoppers who want to browse a large in-person selection. Couples with different firmness needs. Anyone who wants to configure layers over time rather than committing to a fixed build upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which shop is right for my situation?
It comes down to what you need. If you need a specific dimension for an antique frame, a condo fit, an RV size, or a loft bed height, Dozy is the most straightforward option because we manufacture locally and can turn a custom order around in 2 to 7 days. If your priority is certified organic materials alongside a custom size, Soma or Dormio are worth visiting in person. If you need foam cut to an unusual shape like a boat v-berth, Foamite is the specialist. If budget is not a concern and you want the most premium organic custom build in Toronto, Essentia is worth a look.
Can I walk in without an appointment?
At Dozy, yes. We are open daily from 11am at 290 Queen St W and you are always welcome to come in without booking ahead. For a custom order it helps to bring your frame measurements, but we can also talk through what you need and figure out the dimensions together. Soma and Essentia tend to lean toward appointments, so it is worth calling ahead if you are planning a visit to either of those.
Is a custom mattress much more expensive than a standard one?
Not as much as most people expect. At Dozy, the formula is simple: find the nearest standard size up and add 20%. So if you need a 3/4 double (48" x 75"), we start from a standard double price and add 20%. That 20% covers the labour and material adjustment. It is not a markup, it is just the honest cost of making something non-standard. Our full custom pricing guide walks through a step-by-step example if you want to work out an estimate before you call.
What if I need a custom height, not just a custom size?
Custom height is something we do regularly at Dozy and it matters more than people realize. Getting in and out of bed comfortably depends on the combined height of your mattress and foundation. We manufacture both locally, which means we can spec the total bed height from the floor up. This is especially useful for people with mobility needs, low-profile platform beds, murphy beds, or loft builds with limited overhead clearance. Tell us your target height and we will work backwards from there.
What is the one thing people get wrong when ordering a custom mattress?
Not sorting out the frame first. A custom mattress is the easy part and we can have it ready in a week. The custom bed frame is where things get expensive and slow. Furniture manufacturing has largely moved offshore, so finding a non-standard frame locally means limited options and long lead times. If you are working with an existing frame, great. If you need a new one built to a custom size, start that search before you order the mattress. We cover this in detail in our custom mattress guide.

Want the full picture? Our Ultimate Custom Size Mattress Guide for Toronto covers every common custom size with a full reference table, step-by-step pricing, how to measure your frame correctly, and everything else you need to know before placing an order.
