Douglas is a Canadian-made mattress. It is made with materials all sourced from Canada, was designed by Canadians and can only be bought in Canada. This is a memory foam mattress that uses more eco-friendly foams than the competition which makes it a more responsible choice at a great price point. Currently a queen size Douglas retails for Canadian which makes it a fantastic value.

Here’s a quick overview of the mattress.
How Is The Douglas Mattress Made?
According to Doulgas‘ website, Doulgas mattresses use Canadian-made foams and fabrics. The top 5 cm comfort layer is made of ecoLight cooling gel foam, developed to be 50% less taxing on our environment but just as durable as high density memory foam. Elastexfoam is used in the middle layer of 5 cm to give the mattress the perfect amount of bounce. The bottom 15 cm support foam isolates movement and provides better edge support. The cover can be washed using an eco-friendly Natural Eucalyptus fabric.

My Douglas Mattress Findings
When you first lay down on this mattress you will notice that it immediately contours to your spine. This gives the mattress a soft feeling. The middle and bottom layers at the bottom support you.
Here’s a photo I took of my 6 kg. bowling ball to illustrate the point.
This is an all foam mattress so motion transfer is contained. In comparison to the hundreds of other mattresses I have reviewed the top layer recovers quickly for being a foam mattress making it easier to switch positions at night. You wont get that stuck feeling that dense foam mattresses known for.

My Douglas Mattress Recommendations
Overall, I would rate the mattress as being on the soft side of the spectrum. I really like how the top layer feels. It contours well and is very soft. This is what really makes the Douglas stand out from the other competition among the Canadian offerings. Side sleepers will love the Douglas mattress for its pressure relief. It is great for your hips, but also your shoulders. The top layer of foam is quick to recover so you don’t have to wait for it to come back after changing positions, getting out of bed, or coming back.
I recommend the Douglas to side back and occasional stomach sleepers that want quick contouring and a softer feel without sacrificing support or pressure relief. The mattress is also on the cooler side of the memory foam spectrum.
