Why the Essentiel
3 reasons, straight from the spec sheet.
An 11 in Euro top, 3 layers of foam including 1 with gel, and 850 pocket coils zoned at the centre. A soft surface feel on a stable base: the softest after the Legacy.
- 850pocket coils (queen)
- 11 inthick, Euro top (pillow top)
- 10 yearsmanufacturer’s warranty, non-prorated
An 11 in Euro top with a soft surface feel, on 3 layers of foam, one of them with gel: neither firm nor contouring, just balanced.
Firmer pocket coils in the middle of the bed, softer at the shoulders: support that follows your shape.
The model we suggest trying first to find the feel you prefer. 10-year manufacturer’s warranty, non-prorated.

Layer by layer
What each layer does for you.
The 8 layers from the manufacturer’s specifications, top to bottom, explained simply. Tap a number or a line.
⚜ Made in Québec- 850 coils (queen)
- 11 in Euro top
- 10-year warranty
- Balanced, soft feel
The quilted top fabric you touch: soft, breathable and stitched to the layer below.
A thin layer of padding under the fabric: it softens the surface feel and lets air flow.
The softest layer, right under the fibre: it gives the Euro top its soft surface feel.
A thin comfort layer that softens the surface.
A gel foam designed to help you feel cooler. It’s more responsive than memory foam.
Its wave-shaped surface distributes your weight and lets air flow between the layers.
850 coils, each sewn into its own pocket, so they work independently. When one of you moves, the other feels it less. The coils in the centre are firmer, where your hips press down the most.
The panel under the coils: it keeps the mattress stable on the box spring or bed base.

Delivery and 100 nights
It’s all in writing. Nothing is hidden.
6 simple rules, the same online, in store and on your invoice.
The manufacturer’s warranty covers manufacturing defects and sagging beyond its tolerance: 5 years (Levis, prorated), 10 years (Impulsion, Essentiel, Ricardo), 15 years (Legacy), from delivery. The warranty is void if the mattress is stained, soiled or unsanitary, or if it has been folded, wet or used without proper support. The Québec legal warranty (Consumer Protection Act) always applies in addition.
After at least 30 nights and up to the 100th night after delivery, you can exchange your mattress once for another model in the range. $79 transport fee; the price difference is payable if the new model costs more, and given as store credit if it costs less. A stained or soiled mattress cannot be exchanged. No refunds under the comfort exchange program.
It’s sold separately and you can bring your own. We strongly recommend it, because a stain voids both the manufacturer’s warranty and the comfort exchange. The Québec legal warranty always applies.
In-room delivery free from $879 (otherwise $60) within 30 km, within 48 to 72 hours (BonPrix rates beyond that). All 5 mattresses are rolled: take yours home on the day of purchase with free store pickup. Old mattress pickup and recycling: $25.
Clear mattress price, with no struck-through or “reference” price. Delivery and old mattress pickup are optional services, shown before you buy. Current promotions are dated and posted in store.
Flexiti and Affirm: 0% interest for 6 months. Afterpay: 4 interest-free payments. Subject to credit approval. Payment amounts depend on your chosen model, size and financing plan. They’re shown at checkout, before you confirm.
Québec’s legal warranty applies on top. Your rights under the Consumer Protection Act add to the warranties above, including the warranty of reasonable durability (sections 37 and 38). No clause limits them.
Complete your bed
3 things to know before you go.
Waterproof mattress protector
Recommended: a stain voids the comfort exchange and the manufacturer’s warranty (the Québec legal warranty always applies). Sold separately and not required; you can bring your own.
Box spring
The warranty requires proper support. Ask in store: we’ll check with you what works with your current base.
Pickup + recycling
We pick up your old mattress at delivery and recycle it.
$25Questions
Clear answers.
The same answers you’d get in store. If your question isn’t here, contact your nearest store.
Can I try it first?
Yes, no appointment needed. The Essentiel is on display in our 3 stores (Laval, Longueuil and Montréal). Drop by during opening hours and take your time to compare the feel.
What if the comfort isn’t right for me?
Sleep on it for at least 30 nights. If the feel isn’t right, exchange it once for another model in the range, up to the 100th night. Allow $79 for transport. A pricier model: you pay the difference; a cheaper one: the difference is given as store credit. No refunds under the comfort exchange program; a stained or soiled mattress cannot be exchanged.
What does the 10-year warranty cover?
The manufacturer’s warranty covers manufacturing defects and sagging beyond its tolerance for 10 years from delivery. The warranty is void if the mattress is stained, soiled or unsanitary, or if it has been folded, wet or used without proper support. Your rights under Québec’s Consumer Protection Act, including the warranty of reasonable durability, apply in addition and are never excluded.
How long does a rolled mattress take to regain its shape?
It unrolls in a few minutes and reaches its full thickness in 24 hours. The construction, the pocket coils and the warranty are the same as a mattress delivered flat; it’s just easier to take home in a car.
Do I have to buy the mattress protector?
No, it’s not required and you can bring your own. We strongly recommend it: a stain voids the manufacturer’s warranty and the comfort exchange. The Québec legal warranty always applies.
Where are the customer reviews?
Bon Sommeil is a new collection. We’ll add mattress-specific customer reviews as they become available.
