Edge support and
motion isolation are factored into our overall mattress ratings. These scores are shown in green (scores of 5.0+), yellow (3.0–4.9), or red (2.9 and below).
Firmness,
bounce, and cooling features are a matter of personal preference and aren’t part of our rating system, so these scores are shown in grey.

Product Details
Molblly performed well in third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us). It has excellent edge support and above-average motion isolation. However, apart from a layer of cooling gel foam, Molblly lacks cooling features found in other affordable mattresses that help keep temperatures comfortable.
It’s unclear whether this is a genuine Canadian mattress. The mattress law label indicates that the product is made in Vietnam, while the Amazon page states that Molblly products are assembled in Canada. If you’re seeking an authentic Canadian mattress that is both made and assembled in Canada, you may want to consider Juno.
Molblly’s law label also doesn’t say whether the polyester mattress cover is machine washable. Just to be safe, we recommend spot-cleaning only.
The mattress comes with a 10-year warranty, which is standard for the mattress industry. However, Molblly doesn’t come with a sleep trial. This is because the mattress is sold through Amazon, which doesn’t allow returns for mattresses that have been opened. As a result, you don’t get the at-home sleep trial offered by other popular mattress brands like Juno. If you want to try out a mattress in the comfort of your home before committing to it in the long term, then the Molblly may not be for you.

Molblly Mattress Sizes & Prices
Molblly has an unusual pricing strategy for a brand with a limited size range. Twin mattresses are priced higher than queen mattresses. This strategy is uncommon in the industry, and we couldn’t find any reason for this pricing choice.

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns
Molblly delivers its mattresses via Amazon’s delivery service. It should reach your doorstep in 5–25 business days, including dispatch and delivery—a longer-than-average timeline for a mattress in a box. If you have an Amazon Prime account, you may be eligible for quicker shipping times.
Shipping is free to most postal codes but may take longer and incur additional fees if you live in a remote area. For example, we checked the delivery cost for a location in the Northwest Territories and were quoted $552.60 in additional shipping fees.
There is no sleep trial for Molblly mattresses purchased through Amazon. You can return an unopened Molblly within 30 days of purchase for a refund, but Amazon does not accept returns for unboxed and expanded mattresses. Amazon may also deduct part of your refund as a restocking fee, even if you received free shipping to begin with.
Molblly comes with an industry-standard 10-year warranty. At the time this review was published, Molblly’s website was under construction and the Amazon store page didn’t outline what the warranty includes. That said, most mattress companies offer a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects, but not incidental damage.
In comparison, competitor mattress Juno offers a 120-night sleep trial, a longer 15-year warranty, and full refunds with free return pickup service.
Shop Juno for a 120-night sleep trial and 15-year warranty.

Molblly Mattress Construction
Molblly stands 10″ tall and has 3 foam layers. All foam used is CertiPUR-US® certified, but Molblly doesn’t disclose the densities of the specific foams used.
- Layer 1: The top layer is 2″ of cooling gel-infused memory foam. This layer conforms the most to your body’s shape while you’re lying down, and dissipates your body heat.
- Layer 2: The middle layer is 2.5″ of unspecified high-density polyurethane foam. This layer prevents you from feeling the denser support layer below.
- Layer 3: The support layer is 5.5″ of high-density foam. This layer gives the mattress most of its bulk, and stops you from sinking too deeply into the mattress.
The breathable mattress cover accounts for the remaining 0.5″ height. It’s made of 100% polyester, and although the cover has a zipper, Molblly doesn’t indicate on its Amazon product page whether or not it’s machine-washable. We recommend spot-cleaning any spills or stains just to be safe.
Disclaimer: Note that Molblly changed their mattress design shortly before this review was published. If you choose to purchase a Molblly mattress, yours may look different.

MattressReviews.ca commissions licensed third-party engineers and uses public data to rate mattresses on over 40 criteria.
This allows us to accurately rate and compare the performance of the mattresses reviewed on this website. Engineer independence and operating standards help ensure their results remain unbiased, valid, and reliable. Each mattress was evaluated using the same strict mattress testing methodology to protect the overall integrity of the results. The full report has been given the official stamp of approval from an APEGA-certified engineer operating under a strict ethical code of conduct.
Mattress testing conducted outside of this professional standard poses a greater risk of validity errors or reviewer bias.
7.0 /10
Firmness
In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), Molblly scored 7.0/10 for firmness, placing it in the firm category. This is much firmer than the product page advertises, which describes the mattress’s feel as “medium.” You could find this mattress comfortable if you’re a back or stomach sleeper, but it may cause pressure points if you’re a side sleeper.
(Looking for a mattress with a slightly softer feel? Juno scored 6.0/10 for firmness, which translates to a medium-firm feel that’s ideal for all sleep styles.)
9.0 /10
Edge Support
Molblly scored 9.0/10 for edge support. This is an excellent score for a foam mattress. You can sit on the edge of the mattress or sleep further away from the middle without sinking into the mattress’s sidewalls.
7.1 /10
Motion Isolation
Foam mattresses generally have better motion isolation than innerspring or hybrid mattresses. Molblly scored 7.1/10 for motion isolation, which is a very good score. You won’t notice most of your partner’s movements when they change sleep positions.
3.6 /10
Bounce
In third-party engineer testing, Molblly scored 3.6/10 for bounce, which is lower than average for a foam mattress. This is good if you’re a light sleeper who’s easily awoken by movement.
(Looking for even less bounce for a more restful sleep? Consider Juno with its bounce score of 2.5/10.)
2.4 /10
Cooling Features
Molblly isn’t marketed as a cooling mattress, but it still has a couple of features to help you sleep cool at night. This mattress earns points for its:
- Breathable top cover designed to promote air circulation
- Cooling gel foam layer, which actively dissipates body heat
These features are very similar to those offered with competitor mattress Juno. However, Juno also has an optional Cool+ cover upgrade. It also offers much more value with its 120-night sleep trial, 15-year warranty, easy returns, and free bedding bundle.

Company Background
Molblly is a bed-in-a-box company founded in 2007 that sells mostly through Amazon, Canada’s top e-commerce retailer. Molblly is one of many mattress brands that operate on the website, as well as one of the most popular. Their product lineup consists of affordable foam mattresses that are available in different heights and colours.
Despite its relatively popular profile on Amazon, the company lacks a BBB profile. The company has a “Average” rating on Trustpilot with 3.8/5 stars. However, 20% of the customer reviews are only 1 star.
Some customers have reported difficulty dealing with Molblly’s customer service. Other common complaints include the company’s mattresses sagging and degrading relatively soon after purchase, as well as issues with delivery. Several reviews left on Amazon also say that the mattress contains fiberglass, which is a significant health hazard.
Buy from a mattress company that’s rated “A+” on BBB and “Excellent” on Trustpilot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Molblly mattresses good?
Molblly mattresses perform well in third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), but it’s hard to recommend a mattress that doesn’t come with an at-home sleep trial. You can only return a Molblly mattress unopened within 30 days to get a refund. Amazon doesn’t accept returns for unboxed mattresses.
Juno, on the other hand, comes with a 120-night sleep trial and 15-year warranty. The sleep trial includes the option for free return pickup with a full refund. Your mattress purchase also comes with a free bedding bundle that includes a mattress protector, pillow(s), sheets, and pillow protector(s).
Who makes the Molblly mattress?
Molblly is made by the company of the same name. According to the law label on the mattress we reviewed, it was manufactured at the My Phuoc 2 Industrial Park in Vietnam’s Binh Duong province.
Where are Molblly mattresses made?
Although Molblly’s Amazon store page says that all of its products are assembled in Canada, the law label on the mattress we purchased says it was made in Vietnam. Because the mattress we received has a different cover design than the model currently sold through Amazon, it’s possible that the older version was made in Vietnam and the newer version is now made in Canada. However, we can’t say for sure whether this is the case.
Do Molblly mattresses have fiberglass?
The law label on the mattress we purchased did not list fiberglass, and did not seem to contain any when we opened up the cover to analyze the mattress for our review. That said, several customers on Amazon have reported finding fiberglass once they removed the mattress cover. Fiberglass is common in low-cost mattresses manufactured outside of Canada.

Where do you buy a Molblly mattress?
At the time of this review, Molblly only sells its mattresses through Amazon. It may be possible to find Molblly mattresses available for resale through other third-party retailers.
How do I return a Molblly mattress?
Amazon doesn’t allow returns for used mattresses. The company has a 30-day return policy for most items, but this only applies to unopened and unexpanded mattresses.
What Molblly mattress alternatives should I consider?
We think you should consider Juno. Juno offers excellent value at just $499, featuring a layer of cooling gel foam, a 120-night sleep trial, and a 15-year warranty. It also comes with a mattress protector and a free bedding item, giving you more value with your purchase.
