In the 35 years that Mark Nagra has been in the furniture and mattress business (and over two decades owning M&N Mattress and Sofa Gallery in Parksville) one product has stood out above all the rest: the Pure Energy Mattress.
“I’ve yet to see any other mattress like it, with its premium quality materials, a strong warranty and hundreds of positive reviews and testimonials from local customers getting better sleeps with less pain. Some of our Parksville and area customers are actually off pain medications thanks to this mattress, and you can see their video testimonials at ironmanmattress.ca.,” Mark says. “It’s one of the best products I’ve carried in 35 years, and it’s meant a lot to our business.”
This month, Mark is celebrating the Pure Energy Mattress’ 12 years in Canada with a look back at how it all began… and a special ‘Win Your Mattress’ giveaway.
The first store in Canada to offer Pure Energy Mattress
It all started when three athletes in the Seattle area learned about CELLIANT, a high performance fibre clinically proven to increase tissue oxygen levels. Two of these athletes worked in the mattress industry, and developed the T3 Recovery Mattress with CELLIANT and CELLITEX recovery latex (exclusive to this brand), which they showcased at the massive Las Vegas Market.
These mattresses were the Ironman Official Sleep Product, and now are called the Pure Energy Mattress, made in BC.

The president of a BC mattress factory saw the product there, and started making plans to bring the mattress to Canada. That’s when he approached Mark, who already had a reputation of selling a high volume of high quality mattresses.
“Out of every store in Canada they approached M&N first! But before I’d agree to carry it in my stores I asked a lot of questions about the science behind it,” he says. “All of the studies were from reputable North American universities, with impressive findings on reduced pain, improved circulation for diabetics and non-diabetics. After learning about the construction, warranty and other aspects, those studies were all I had to see. I wanted them on our floor A.S.A.P. Since then, updated studies from many universities have shown improved recovery, improved athletic performance, balanced body temperature and many other potential health benefits.”
Mark offered feedback on the design, including removing toxic memory foam layers and adding Talaly latex layers to make the mattress cleaner, more durable and more breathable. Twelve years later, over 4000 people from Nanoose Bay to Qualicum Beach are sleeping on Pure Energy Mattresses, and they continue to refer friends and family for a better quality sleep.
Among the hundreds of positive reviews, testimonials and happy customers is NHL player Bo Horvat, who returned for a second mattress so he could have a good sleep in both of his homes.
“Both my wife and I love the mattress! We both suffer from bad backs and are now pain-free when we get up in the morning,” writes Rick P. from Qualicum Beach.
“Such a delight to wake up without a cramp in my back! I should have bought one years ago,” writes Wendy I. from Qualicum Beach.
