Read Review

Douglas and Casper are two popular Canadian mattress brands. Both Douglas Original and Casper are medium-firm mattresses with strong edge support and motion isolation.

But while both mattresses have their strengths, in this side-by-side comparison, Douglas outperformed the Casper with an overall rating of 9.9/10 vs Casper’s 5.8/10. Douglas earned points for its price, construction, performance, longer sleep trial and warranty, free shipping, and free returns with full refunds.

The Casper costs $1,499 for a queen and comes with a 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty, no matter where you purchase it. Douglas, on the other hand, provides a longer 365-night sleep trial and 20-year warranty for just $799 for a queen size.

Even though Casper started out as an American company, its Canadian operations are now owned by Sleep Country, a well-known Canadian mattress retailer. Since the acquisition, most Casper mattresses sold in Canada are made locally. Douglas, on the other hand, is fully Canadian. From ownership to production, it’s part of GoodMorning.com, one of the country’s original bed-in-a-box brands.

Overall Ratings

We include edge support and motion isolation in our overall mattress score, and we present these results using a simple colour system: green (5.0 and above), yellow (3.0–4.9), and red (2.9 and below). Cooling features aren’t part of the final rating, but we still use the same colour scale to show how each mattress performs. Firmness and bounce are more a matter of personal preference, so we display those scores in grey and exclude them from the overall score.

Mattress Overview

Product Details: Douglas Original

The Douglas Original is a medium-firm gel foam mattress designed to be cool and comfortable in any sleep position. It gently contours to your body for pressure relief, offers balanced support, and provides reliable edge support and motion isolation. It's also made with eco-conscious materials like ecoLight® cooling gel foam and plant-based Infinitex™ fibres. Being medium-firm, Douglas is suitable for all back, stomach, and side sleepers.

At just $799 for a queen, the Douglas Original is one of the more affordable foam mattresses in Canada. It comes with a 365-night sleep trial, a 20-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle, which includes a cotton sheet set, duvet cover, down alternative duvet, pillow(s), pillow protector(s), and a mattress protector. You can also choose to upgrade to the Douglas Alpine or Douglas Summit models for extra features like more cooling and pressure relief.

Product Details: The Casper

The Casper is the upgraded all-foam option from Casper Canada. At $1,499 for a queen-size, The Casper comes in one firmness level: medium-firm. We commissioned third-party engineers to test the mattress, and they found Casper had very good edge support, good motion isolation, and a low level of bounce. It's made with perforated and open-cell foam, designed to promote airflow while still offering that signature Casper feel.

If you buy a mattress directly from Casper Canada, like we did, you'll get a 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty with your mattress, plus the option to return it for free and for a full refund. You can also buy this mattress from Sleep Country, although they only offer a one-time exchange on their mattresses for a $65 fee. Sleep Country also won't pick up the mattress for you.

Mattress Construction

Both Casper and Douglas mattresses are designed with a combination foam structure. Both mattresses have 3 layers and measure 10" tall.

Douglas Original

• 1st Layer: 2" ecoLight® cooling gel foam to offer a memory-foam-like feel, which provides body-contouring comfort and pressure relief. The cooling gel infusion also makes this layer breathable and cool to the touch.
• 2nd Layer: 2" Elastex® transition foam, which adds a level of bounciness and responsiveness similar to latex, while being latex-free.
• 3rd Layer: 6" of motion-isolation support foam that provides support, stability, and significantly reduces motion transfer across the mattress. This high-density base helps to minimize disturbances from movements on the other side of the bed, which is one reason why all Douglas mattresses are known for their great motion isolation.

The Douglas Original has a white, mountainscape cover with a bold red zipper that runs along the sidewall. The top cover is removable and machine washable, making it easy to keep clean. It's made with plant-based Infinitex™ fibres that help wick away moisture and keep the surface cool and breathable. This is a valuable feature for hot sleepers or for those who simply want a cooler sleep surface. This stretch-knit fabric feels soft but holds up well over time.

The Casper

• 1st Layer: 1" Casper Signature foam with AirScape® Technology. This is Casper's proprietary open-cell and perforated polyurethane foam that helps excess heat escape the mattress.
• 2nd Layer: 1.5" memory foam to help absorb motion and relieve pressure points.
• 3rd Layer: 6.5" ProSupport polyurethane foam gives the mattress its firmness and helps prevent you from sinking too far into the layers.

The Casper mattress features a clean, modern design with two shades of heather grey for a subtle, colour-blocked look. The cover isn't removable, so you'll need to spot clean it as needed. According to the law tag, it's made from a blend of polyester, recycled materials (including polyester and cotton), regular cotton, viscose, and spandex.

Mattress Performance

In third-party engineer testing that we commissioned, both Douglas Original and The Casper landed in the medium-firm range. That level of firmness tends to work well for most sleep styles, whether you sleep on your back, stomach, or side.

Both mattresses also have below-average levels of bounce for all-foam mattresses. Low bounce is more common in foam mattresses, and helps create a surface with "hug" and that responds more slowly to movement.

When it came to motion isolation and edge support, Douglas and Casper both earned strong scores. Douglas performed better in the motion isolation category, while Casper's score was slightly higher for edge support. Either mattress should work well if you share a mattress with a partner or like to sleep or sit near the edges of your bed.

Where Douglas Differs:

• Douglas scored higher for motion isolation, at 8.3/10. Good motion isolation means one person can move on their side of the bed without disturbing their partner, which is especially helpful for light sleepers, couples, or anyone who shares their bed.
• Douglas has more cooling features than Casper and earned a score of 5.0/10. Its moisture-wicking CoolSense® cover, breathable Elastex® foam, and ecoLight® cooling gel foam all work together to help regulate temperature while you sleep. If you like to sleep cool, you might want to opt for a mattress with more cooling features, like the Douglas.

Where Casper Differs:

• The Casper earned a great edge support score of 8.5/10. This'll be good news for anyone who likes to sit on the edge of the bed.
• The Casper scored a lower 2.8/10 for cooling. However, it did earn some points for its open-cell foam, which is more breathable than closed-cell foam. Perforations in the mattress's comfort layer also help, letting excess heat escape the mattress.

Delivery & Other Policies

Douglas

Douglas ships mattresses with FedEx and delivers for free to most areas in Canada, usually within 2–10 business days. Douglas offers a longer sleep trial of the two mattress brands at 365 nights, plus a longer 20-year warranty. If you return your Douglas mattress during the sleep trial, Douglas will arrange to pick it up and issue a full refund, all for free.

Plus, Douglas organizes any mattresses returned during the trial to be donated to a local charity. In the case there aren't any charities near you, the company will have the mattress responsibly recycled.

Casper

Casper Canada ships mattresses for free to most places in the country, but they currently only deliver accessories to the Territories. If you're in a major city, your mattress should show up at your door in about 5–15 business days, packed in a box.

Casper offers a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty, fairly standard for online mattresses. If you buy directly from Casper's website or store, returns are free during the trial, and you'll get a full refund.

Buying from a third-party retailer like Sleep Country is a bit different. They only allow exchanges and charge a $65 fee. You'll also have to bring the mattress back to the store yourself.

Final Recommendation

When you stack the Casper mattress vs Douglas, a few things stand out. Both mattresses are good medium-firm options for any sleep style. But the Douglas Original performs higher than its competitor with its lower price, better motion isolation performance in third-party engineer testing, plus its longer 365-night sleep trial and 20-year warranty. Douglas's $799 price tag for a queen-size mattress with great motion isolation and multiple cooling features is hard to pass up.

Plus, all Douglas mattresses also come with a free bedding bundle, including a cotton sheet set, duvet cover, down alternative duvet, pillow(s), pillow protector(s), and a mattress protector. It's an affordable choice that provides everything you need for a comfy sleep setup.
