The best mattress during your pregnancy depends on your sleeping position, your trimester, and how your body changes week to week. That said, most pregnant women select a medium-firm mattress because it cushions the hips and shoulders for side sleeping while keeping the spine level as your centre of gravity shifts forward. The Endy Mattress and The Endy Elevate Hybrid Mattress both address this need with a supportive comfort layer for pressure relief, breathable foam that fights the extra body heat in pregnancy, and a 365-night trial so you can make sure you have the right mattress for you. This guide compares the Endy options with other well-known mattresses and describes how to choose a mattress for every stage of pregnancy.
Comparing Mattresses
Here’s how Endy’s two mattresses stack up vis-a-vis a few other mattresses commonly recommended for pregnancy.
The Endy Mattress is an all-foam mattress built for all sleep styles who want a supportive, medium-firm feel without a big price tag. It comes in three firmness options, Plush, Medium-Firm and Firm, so pregnant women can choose what feels best given their sleeping positions as their bodies change. The top Endy Cooling Comfort Foam layer contours to relieve pressure points at the hips and shoulders, which tend to be trouble spots for pregnant sleepers.Underneath, breathable open-cell foam and a cooling gel infusion help manage the extra body heat common with pregnancy, while a high-density support foam base resists sagging and keeps your spine supported at each stage. Every Endy Mattress ships with a 365-night trial and a 15-year warranty, and starts at $895 for a queen.
For pregnant women who want more bounce, cooling and stronger edge support, The Endy Elevate Hybrid Mattress pairs two layers of Endy’s cooling foam with 7” of individually wrapped, high-carbon steel pocket coils. The zoned coil support gives firmer reinforcement under the lower back and softer cushioning under the shoulders and hips, which helps maintain spinal alignment as loosened ligaments and a growing belly pull on your lower spine.Another benefit is the reinforced perimeter coils that add edge support. They make it easier to get in and out of bed during your third trimester, and the coil layer improves airflow for an added layer of cooling on top of the gel-infused quilted cover. Like the Endy Mattress, the Hybrid comes in Firm, Medium-Firm and Plush, includes a 365-night trial and a 15-year warranty, and starts at about $1,395 for a queen.Here’s how a few other frequently mentioned mattresses measure up.
Silk & Snow Organic
Silk & Snow Organic is a Canadian-made latex hybrid mattress, offered in Plush, Medium-Firm and Firm options. It pairs organic latex and cotton with a zoned coil base and is often recommended for side and back sleepers weighing about 130 to 230 lbs. It comes with a 365-night trial and a 15-year warranty, with a queen starting around $1,450 for the medium-firm option.
Douglas Original Hybrid
Douglas Original Hybrid is a Canadian-made mattress with a zoned coil base and a medium-firm feel. It ships with a 365-night trial and a 15-year warranty, and a queen typically runs about $949 before discounts. While it comes in at a budget price point, it’s only offered in one firmness, so side sleepers who prefer a plusher feel may want to look elsewhere.
Logan & Cove
Logan & Cove is a Canadian-made luxury hybrid line offered in medium-firm. It includes a 365-night trial and a 15-year warranty, with a queen starting at $1,199 depending on the model. Reviewers commonly place its Luxury Firm option around 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. Its zoned pocket-coil construction offers strong edge support and a bouncier feel than all-foam mattresses, though it’s a pricier purchase than the Endy Mattress.

How to Choose a Mattress During Pregnancy
Whichever mattress you’re considering, a few factors matter more during pregnancy than they do during other phases of your life.
Firmness Guide by Trimester
Mattress firmness makes the biggest difference in comfort during pregnancy, and in the first trimester, firmness needs don’t typically change from what you’re used to. By the second and third trimester, most pregnant women do best on a medium to medium-firm mattress (generally 5 to 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale) because it offers enough give for the hips and shoulders during side sleeping while still supporting spinal alignment as your centre of gravity shifts forward. Very soft mattresses can let the hips sink too far and strain the lower back, so it’s worth avoiding an overly plush feel later in pregnancy, even if it felt fine before.
Why Sleep Position Matters
Side sleeping, particularly sleeping on your left side, is the position most experts recommend later in pregnancy, though check what’s right for you with your doctor or midwife. The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) guidance on back pain during pregnancy and the Sleep Foundation’s sleep position by trimester identify side sleeping as the more comfortable, better-supported option as pregnancy progresses.A mattress with enough pressure relief through the hips and shoulders makes side sleeping easier to sustain. You could also consider a pregnancy pillow tucked between the knees or under the belly to add extra support to complement a comfortable sleeping position.
Motion Isolation and Cooling
Frequent repositioning is normal during pregnancy, so motion isolation, meaning how well a mattress absorbs movement instead of transferring it, matters more than it might otherwise. Hybrid mattresses with individually wrapped coils, like the Endy Elevate Hybrid Mattress, tend to offer superior motion isolation compared with a traditional innerspring.Cooling matters too. Pregnancy triggers physiological changes that affect how the body handles heat, including higher blood volume and a higher metabolic rate driven by the growing placenta and fetus. Breathable, open-cell foam and cooling gel infusions, like those used in both Endy mattresses, help keep the sleep surface temperature-neutral through hot flashes (common during pregnancy) and cooler nights.
Mattress Types: All-Foam Versus Hybrid Versus Latex
The main mattress types to choose from during pregnancy include:
All-foam (like The Endy Mattress): contours closely to the body and tends to isolate motion well, which can help with poor sleep caused by a restless partner.
Hybrid (like the Endy Elevate Hybrid): adds coils with foam for more bounce, better airflow and stronger edge support, which can be helpful for getting in and out of bed later in pregnancy.
Latex: offers a springier, more breathable feel. These mattresses are naturally hypoallergenic, which some pregnant women prefer because they may experience increased sensitivity to smells and materials.
With that in mind, any mattress you choose should be Certi-PUR® certified to ensure it has been certified for low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a firm or soft mattress better during pregnancy?Most pregnant women do best on a medium-firm mattress, generally 5 to 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale. Side sleepers often prefer the softer end of that range for extra pressure relief at the hips and shoulders.Which sleep position is best during pregnancy?Side sleeping, particularly on your left side, is the position most commonly recommended later in pregnancy. Confirm what’s best for you with your doctor or midwife.Can I keep using my current mattress during pregnancy by adding a topper?A topper can help temporarily, adding extra pressure relief on top of a mattress that still has good support. But it won’t fix a sagging or unsupportive base, so if your current mattress is already past its prime, a topper is only a short-term fix.How firm should a mattress be for lower back pain in pregnancy?If lower back pain, rather than hip pain, is your main issue, look for a mattress with zoned lumbar support and a firmness closer to 6 to 7 out of 10.This guide provides general comfort information, not medical advice. Talk to your doctor or midwife about sleep positions and any pregnancy-related pain.
