A Guide to Mattress Customization with Black Sheep Mattress

Research shows that sleep systems and supports are considered to be important environmental components that affect people’s quality of sleep, resulting in an impact on their overall health. Sleep is deeply personal, and no two people rest the exact same. Our mattresses honour that truth, offering complete customization that allows your mattress to conform to your body and your lifestyle. Premium, non-toxic, sustainable mattresses that are made-to-order, right in our Calgary Workshop.

A Mattress Model for Every Sleeper

When choosing a mattress, we recommend choosing a model first. From here, we can customize the density of various materials to ensure that yours is the right firmness for you, providing the best support for your unique combination of health goals and lifestyle habits.

We offer two customizable mattress models, which you can experience when you visit our showroom: The Oxford (Natural Latex) and The Devon (Hybrid). Each one is crafted with intention, using natural materials that are sourced from reputable partners in our local community and beyond. Here’s a little bit about each one:

The Oxford

Natural Latex

This model is our all-latex option and is available in 7", 9", and 12" heights with up to five layers of 100% natural Talalay latex. With this mattress, each layer can be customized to your exact firmness preference - it can even be adjusted down the road when your sleep preferences change. The Oxford is a favourite among sleepers who move around in their sleep, as it’s excellent at reducing movement transfer. The natural latex also offers cooling properties, which can be optimal for hot sleepers.

One of the greatest benefits of this mattress is it can be built dual-profile in Queen and King sizes, meaning each half can be crafted to a different firmness. This is most suitable for couples who have different sleep preferences.

The Devon

The Hybrid

This hybrid design blends aspects of Oxford and Suffolk models, utilizing pocket coil springs for durability and natural latex and wool for customizable firmness and comfort. The Devon comes in five firmnesses and is also available in a dual-profile option, allowing each partner to choose the ideal firmness level for their side of the mattress. Truly, a win-win.

Hand-tufted and built in an English style, this model is equal parts beautiful and comfortable. 

And for those who know they love firm...

The Suffolk

Spring-Based

This model is a classic for anyone who is looking for a dependable, high-quality mattress. While not customizable, the Suffolk mattress is firm and supportive, making it a great option for back and stomach sleepers. Pocket coil springs, natural wool, and cotton batting provide a great option for a variety of people, however this one is easily our most popular option for children and teens.
