An old-school East Van mattress shop becomes a cult favourite

Bob Wilson’s Mr. Mattress: Vancouver’s Iconic Mattress Shop

Looking for a new mattress? Look no further than Mr. Mattress, Vancouver’s most iconic mattress shop. Pete Smith, a loyal customer, recently found himself in need of a new mattress. His search led him to Mr. Mattress, a hidden gem located on Clark Drive and Venables Street in East Vancouver.

What sets Mr. Mattress apart from other mattress stores is their commitment to quality double-sided mattresses. In a market flooded with single-sided mattresses, Mr. Mattress remains true to their roots, offering customers the option to flip their mattress for extended durability.

Bob Wilson, the owner of Mr. Mattress, carries on his father’s legacy by providing customers with top-notch service and quality products. The store itself is a blast from the past, with a retro showroom filled with colorful signage and nostalgic decor. Customers often find themselves drawn to the store’s unique charm, snapping photos of the front stairs adorned with witty one-liners.

Wilson’s dedication to quality is evident in the mattresses he sells, all of which are made by Restwell Mattress in Surrey. Customers can choose from a range of sizes and prices, with the most popular bed being a queen mattress priced at $1,000.

For Pete Smith, a new single mattress for $550 was the perfect choice. He left the store feeling satisfied with his purchase and even received a free T-shirt as a bonus.

Whether you’re in the market for a new mattress or simply want to experience a piece of Vancouver’s history, Mr. Mattress is the place to be. Step inside this iconic store and discover why it has become a cult favorite among locals and visitors alike.
