Panamaniac- what a great idea for a thread. If anyone had asked me, I would have had to guess that all mattresses available in Canada were imports. Now I know better!

Nope. I bought my memory foam mattress from a niche company in Laval that makes them in-house (myessentia.com). Niche manufacturing can definitely work for local suppliers. since they're not competing in the same market as China, where it's hard to win on price. Also, I think, things that need a lot of customization. Not sure about generic mass-market manufacturing. That seems hard.

I think I read somewhere once that it is economically viable to manufacture mattresses close to where they will be sold.  That would totally make sense for custom products, I should think.
