Endy and Douglas are two of the most well-known mattress brands in Canada, with both brands having built up a loyal customer base. So, what are the backgrounds of these two popular mattress lines?
Endy
Endy is a bed-in-a-box mattress brand owned by Sleep Country, Canada’s largest chain of mattress retail stores. The company has been selling its “one-size-fits-all” foam mattress since 2015, competing with other online brands like Casper and Douglas. Endy mattresses are made in Ontario and Quebec and shipped out from distribution centres in Ontario and British Columbia. In 2022, the company expanded its mattress lineup with the Endy Hybrid, a more firm version of their foam mattress mixing foam and coils.
Douglas
Douglas was introduced in 2017 by Canadian bed-in-a-box company GoodMorning.com. Douglas was manufactured as a single-firmness mattress, designed using eight years' worth of engineering data and customer feedback. GoodMorning.com designed the Douglas to be a value-packed, Canadian-made mattress at an unheard-of low price. They offer the same level of customer service for the Douglas as they do across their growing catalogue, along with a 365-night sleep trial and a 20-year warranty.

Thanks to modern compression methods and the rising popularity of the bed-in-a-box, mattresses can now be shipped far more efficiently and conveniently than ever before. Customers no longer need to take a day off work to accept a delivery. Boxed beds are now delivered with the same convenience as most Amazon orders. Some bed-in-a-box companies even offer same-day delivery to certain areas.
Endy uses UPS to deliver their mattress. Douglas uses FedEx. Both mattresses are delivered directly to customers’ doors throughout most parts of Canada. In some cases, the mattresses can even be left on a porch or deck while the customer is away from home.
Shipping time for Endy and Douglas are roughly the same. Both bed-in-a-box mattresses will be delivered within 10 days.
As with any other bed-in-a-box brands, Endy and Douglas heavily promote their in-home sleep trials. Douglas has the longest sleep trial of the two mattress brands at 365 nights with the option of a full refund. Endy offers a standard 100-night sleep trial.
If a customer wishes to return their Endy or Douglas mattress within the sleep trial, both companies will arrange to pick the mattresses up and issue a full refund. There are no additional return or restocking fees for the Endy mattress or the Douglas mattress.

Expansion time: | 2 minutes | 2 minutes |
Both the Endy and the Douglas mattress were delivered to us within the expected time frame. Both mattresses were well protected by heavy-duty plastic layers within the boxes to protect the mattresses during shipping.
The boxes for both mattresses were sealed with heavy-duty tape. Customers will definitely need scissors or a knife to open the packaging. To prevent potential harm to yourself or your new mattress, remember to be extra careful when using sharp objects to open the box.
Once opened, the compressed mattress is easy to remove from the box. We recommend a ‘tip-and-pull’ motion to slowly slide the mattress out of its cardboard packaging. Simply tip the box from a vertical position down onto its side, and then pull the lightweight box away from the bundled mattress. It’s most practical to complete this process in the room where you intend to use the mattress.
The Endy mattress and Douglas mattress are both protected with multiple layers of heavy-duty plastic – an inner layer to compress it in a vacuum seal, and an exterior layer to keep tightly bound in its cylinder shape. Customers will need to unwrap the outer layer of plastic in order to change the mattress from a cylindrical shape into a flat, albeit compressed, form.
Some helpful advice at this stage is to place the rolled up mattress onto the designated bed frame. Next, like the end of a roll of tape, find where the outer layer of plastic begins and start peeling it back. You can use the momentum of unrolling the compressed mattress along the bed frame to help remove the rest of this layer, which could be up to a few meters long. After completing this process, the mattress will rest unrolled before you.
Next, cut and remove the final layer of plastic. The vacuum seal now broken, the new Endy or Douglas mattress will begin to decompress. A bed-in-a-box mattress should expand to its full height within a few minutes to a few days. The Endy mattress and Douglas mattress both expanded to their full height within 3 minutes.

The Endy and the Douglas are both combination foam mattresses. Both are available only in one firmness option, and each comes compressed, rolled, and shipped in a box.
Some of the major differences between the Endy mattress and Douglas mattress are the different types of foam used for comfort and support. Each mattress contains comfort, transition, and support layers, and these layers vary slightly in height and density.
Also, each mattress has a unique top cover which showcases the brand’s design aesthetic and personality. Both Endy and Douglas have covers that can be unzipped and cleaned in the washing machine. However, out of the two mattresses tested, only Douglas has a cover made with plant-based Infinitex™ fibres.
Endy vs Douglas Mattress Layers

Endy Mattress Layers
The Endy mattress contains three layers of foam:
- The first layer of the Endy mattress is 2” of Endy comfort foam. This layer is designed to provide optimal comfort and temperature performance.*
- The second layer of the Endy mattress is 3” of polyurethane foam. This layer works with the comfort layer to provide an additional level of support and will help conform to the body.
- The final layer of foam in the Endy mattress is 5” of polyurethane foam. This layer gives the Endy mattress its structure and prevents sleepers from sinking in too far.
*Endy does not provide density information for their top layer of foam. The second and third layer of the Endy mattress are both 1.8lbs/ft3.
Douglas Mattress Layers
Douglas uses three layers of foam in the construction of its Canadian-made mattress.- First layer: 2 inches of ecoLight® cooling gel foam. This cooling gel encourages a restful sleep by ensuring that the mattress doesn’t trap heat. The ecoLight® foam has the durability, responsiveness, and comfort of memory foam, but it has a lower carbon footprint. Foam density: 2.5 lbs/ft3.
- Second layer: 2 inches of Elastex® foam. This transition layer is designed to provide spring and support. Many mattresses use latex for similar reasons. Elastex® is free of the allergy-causing chemicals found in latex.
- Third layer: 6 inches of motion isolation support foam. This thick bottom layer greatly reduces motion transfer between sleepers, and it also enhances edge support.
Endy vs Douglas Mattress Cover

Endy Mattress Cover
The Endy mattress has a two-tone cover. The bottom part of the cover is a heavier-duty grey fabric, and the top part is white with a diamond-knit pattern. The top part of the cover is made primarily of polyester and contains a small amount of Lycra for stretch. Unlike other mattresses on the market, such as Douglas and Octave, Endy does not highlight eco-friendly fabric. The top portion of the Endy mattress can be unzipped and cleaned in the washing machine as necessary.
Douglas Mattress Cover
With its mountainscape stitching to its red and white colour profile, Douglas’ Canadian-centric cover shows the brand's homegrown roots. Cut from a single piece of fabric and woven together, the design is almost seamless. The red zipper running the entire length of the side wall and the red Douglas badge are the only elements that break up this impressive white canvas.
As for upkeep, the top half is machine washable, a bonus for anyone who can't stand the thought of spot cleaning their bed by hand. Douglas' cover is enhanced with moisture-wicking Infinitex™ fibres. This proprietary fabric is stretch-knit and very soft, but also extremely durable. The cover is great for staying cool and breathable through the night, so you won't wake up in a pool of sweat.
