Bed Sizes in Canada: The Mattress Fit Guide You’ll Wish You Read Sooner

Ever bought the perfect duvet—only to realize it doesn’t actually fit your bed?
In Canada, mattress sizing is more nuanced than most shoppers realize. And if you’re investing in premium bedding, a half-inch difference can make or break your sleep experience.

At Northern Feather Canada, we design all our bedding to match true Canadian sizes, with a level of precision that mass retailers can’t touch. Here’s the only sizing guide you’ll need to get the right fit—and finally sleep like you’re in a luxury hotel every night.

What Makes Canadian Bed Sizes Different?

Most U.S. guides won't tell you this: mattresses in Canada aren’t always identical to their American counterparts. A Canadian queen is often a fraction shorter or longer than a U.S. queen, and that tiny difference can lead to bunched sheets, sliding duvets, or pillowcases that feel off-center.

At Northern Feather, our luxury bedding is built for Canada—crafted with measurements, materials, and quality that complement Canadian-made mattresses to the millimeter.

The Overlooked Sizes You Might Actually Need

Canada also offers a handful of “in-between” mattress sizes that don’t follow global norms. These are perfect if you have a specific space, RV, or adjustable bed setup:

• Half Queen (30 x 79.5 in): Ideal for split queen adjustable beds
•  Queen RV (60 x 74.5 in): Fits recreational vehicles or shorter frames
• Super King (72 x 78 in): A slightly smaller King with room-saving benefits

Why Bedding Fit Actually Matters

You’re not just buying a mattress—you’re building a sleep experience. And poorly fitting bedding? It ruins the whole thing. Here’s why:

• Loose duvets don’t distribute warmth evenly
• Oversized sheets wrinkle and shift
• Incompatible toppers slide out of place

Northern Feather’s products—from our hotel-quality duvets to our Fairmont Collection pillows—are crafted with exacting attention to Canadian mattress specs.

How to Choose the Right Mattress Size

When in doubt, measure twice and consider:

•  Room Size: Will your bed crowd the space—or fit like it was made for it?
• Number of Sleepers: Are you sharing with a partner, pet, or child?
• Height: Over 6 feet tall? You’ll need at least a Twin XL or California King.
• Budget vs. Comfort: A Queen might be more cost-effective, but if space is your priority, the upgrade to King is worth every inch.
