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

Douglas Original is a medium-firm foam mattress designed for coolness and comfort in all sleep positions. The mattress uses ecoLight® cooling gel foam and responsive Elastex® foam to regulate temperature and relieve pressure points. This mattress comes with a moisture-wicking top cover that's removable and machine-washable.

At just $799 for a queen, Douglas Original comes with a 365-night sleep trial, a 20-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle, which includes a cotton sheet set, down alternative duvet, pillow(s), pillow protector(s), and a mattress protector. You can also upgrade to the Douglas Alpine or Douglas Summit models for extra features, like more cooling and plushness.

Product Details: GhostBed Comfort

GhostBed Comfort Foam is a medium-firm, 3-layer foam mattress designed to balance pressure relief with spinal support. It features a soft, cool-to-the-touch Ghost Ice cover and zoned support in its ProCore™ foam layer that helps with spinal alignment. The top cover isn't removable or machine-washable, so spot-clean it in the case of any spills.

GhostBed is priced at $1,149 for a queen, which is in the mid-priced range for a foam mattress. GhostBed provides a 101-night sleep trial and a 20-year limited warranty. Returns are free after a 30-night break-in period, with GhostBed arranging pickup for free. That said, there might be some restocking fees that get deducted from your refund.

Mattress Construction

Both GhostBed and Douglas mattresses are designed with a 3-layer combination foam structure.

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 mattress cover stands out with its mountain design and bold red zipper. It's made from CoolSense® fabric, which is woven with plant-based Infinitex™ fibres to help wick away moisture and keep the surface cooler while you sleep. The top cover is removable and machine washable, so it's easy to keep your mattress clean.

GhostBed Comfort

• 1st Layer: 2" of Ghost Bounce foam that provides pressure relief and a bit of bounce.
• 2nd Layer: 2" ProCore™ layer, which includes zoned support in its middle third to promote proper spinal alignment.
• 3rd Layer: 7" of high-density foam that helps prevent too much sinkage and gives the mattress most of its bulk.

The GhostBed Comfort Foam mattress has a white stretch-knit cover with a wavy pattern and the GhostBed logo near the foot. It's made from Ghost Ice fabric, which is designed to feel cool to the touch. The cover isn't removable or machine-washable, so GhostBed recommends spot cleaning only.

Mattress Performance

In third-party engineer testing that we commissioned, both the Douglas Original and GhostBed Comfort Foam mattresses were rated as medium-firm, although Douglas leans slightly firmer. This level of firmness usually works well for most sleepers, whether they sleep on their back, stomach, or side. Both mattresses also have a below-average level of bounce, which is good if you're a light sleeper.

Both mattresses also earned good edge support scores, with Douglas earning a very good score, and GhostBed scoring slightly higher. Edge support can be helpful if you like to sit on the edge of your bed, and gives you more usable space on your mattress.

Where Douglas Differs:

• Douglas Original earned a higher motion isolation score than GhostBed at 8.3/10. If you share the bed, you're less likely to feel your partner tossing and turning at night.
• Cooling is another area where Douglas shines, with multiple cooling features like a moisture-wicking CoolSense® cover, ecoLight® cooling gel foam, and breathable latex-like Elastex® foam.

Where GhostBed Differs:

• GhostBed Comfort Foam has a slight edge in overall edge support, giving a bit more stability when sitting or lying near the mattress perimeter.
• While both mattresses had below-average bounce scores, GhostBed's score was a little higher than Douglas's at 4.2/10. This surface will feel a little more responsive, but potentially cause some more shaking and motion across the bed.

Delivery & Other Policies

Douglas

Douglas uses FedEx to deliver their mattresses directly to your door in most parts of Canada, usually in 2–10 business days. This brand also provides a longer sleep trial of the two mattress brands at 365 nights, as well as a longer warranty. If you want to return your mattress during the sleep trial, Douglas offers free return pickup and will issue a full refund.

GhostBed

GhostBed Comfort Foam ships across Canada through FedEx, with most orders arriving within 3–5 business days. The mattress is vacuum-sealed in plastic and delivered in a cardboard box. The company offers a 101-night sleep trial to test the mattress at home, and a 20-year warranty.

You can return your GhostBed mattress during the sleep trial, but you must keep it for at least 30 nights before starting a return. GhostBed charges a restocking fee for returns, though the exact amount isn't listed on their Canadian website.

Company Background

Third-party review sites like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Trustpilot collect and publish customer feedback about companies and their products, and aren't controlled by the companies being reviewed. They offer a snapshot of overall customer satisfaction and highlight common issues shoppers might face. Checking ratings on sites like these can be a useful way for customers to make more informed purchasing decisions.

Although GhostBed is an established brand in the mattress industry, it hasn't gotten very positive ratings on third-party review sites like the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Trustpilot. In comparison, Douglas has a higher rating on Trustpilot, and its parent company, GoodMorning.com, has a better BBB rating.

Final Recommendation

When comparing the GhostBed Comfort mattress to the Douglas Original, both perform well in areas like motion isolation and edge support. But Douglas stands out for a few key reasons. These include its longer 365-night sleep trial, free bedding bundle, and easy returns, all for just $799 for a queen. For these reasons, the Douglas Original is also our top pick for the Best Mattress in Canada 2025.
