Douglas Alpine Hybrid Mattress Construction
The Douglas Alpine Hybrid is the coiled version of the Douglas Alpine foam mattress. Compared to the all-foam model, the Douglas Alpine Hybrid is more responsive and offers body contouring support while still delivering a medium-firm feel that should work for all sleep styles.
Mattress Layers
The Douglas Alpine Hybrid mattress stands 13" tall and has 4 layers. All foam used in the mattress is CertiPUR-US® certified.
- 1st Layer: 2.25" ecoLift® cooling gel foam enhanced with Polar® phase-change material. On top of relieving pressure points, this layer is designed to regulate temperature by absorbing extra body heat during warmer nights and redistributing it on cooler nights.
- 2nd Layer: 1.75" Elastex® transition foam to promote body contouring and add responsiveness.
- 3rd Layer: 8" Exoforge™ individually pocketed coils, with zoned support beneath the lower back and hips. The coil layer is surrounded by a sturdy foam encasement for stronger edge support.
- 4th Layer: 1" motion-isolation support foam for a high-density base that provides stability and support while reducing motion transfer.
Mattress Cover
Each Douglas mattress is finished with the brand's CoolSense® cover, featuring a mountain-inspired design and a distinctive red zipper. The cover fabric is made using Infinitex™ fibres, which are designed to pull moisture away from the body to support temperature regulation. This material also promotes airflow and helps reduce odour buildup. The cover can be unzipped and machine washed, making it a breeze to keep the cover clean.

Mattress Testing
To ensure our mattress reviews are thorough and trustworthy, we buy the products ourselves and have them tested by independent licensed engineers (commissioned by us) with no stake in the results.
These third-party engineers apply a consistent testing process to every mattress using a detailed framework. Every mattress is tested the same way, whether it's foam or hybrid. Because these types perform differently, we rate them on separate scales to ensure the scores are fair and meaningful.
We believe independent testing is essential to producing reliable and meaningful comparisons. That's why all test results are reviewed and signed off by an APEGA-certified engineer, operating under a strict code of ethics.
We use the testing results and over 40 criteria to build our scoring methodology.
Tests and reviews without this level of professional oversight may be more prone to errors and unintended bias.

Delivery & Other Policies
Douglas mattresses are delivered free to most Canadian addresses through FedEx. Mattresses are shipped out from distribution centres in Alberta or Ontario and generally reach shoppers within 2–10 business days. Extra fees may apply for certain remote locations.
Each mattress arrives compressed and rolled, protected by two layers of heavy-duty plastic and placed inside a cardboard box for safety during transit. Once unpacked, the mattress expands quickly and can typically be used the same day.
Douglas includes a 365-night sleep trial, which is one of the longest offered in Canada. Customers who decide the mattress isn't a good fit can request a free pickup and receive a full refund. Depending on local options, returned mattresses are donated to charitable organizations or responsibly recycled.
The mattress is also backed by a 20-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get Douglas Alpine Foam or Douglas Alpine Hybrid?
That depends on what you're looking for. Both mattresses have a good amount of cooling features, great edge support and motion isolation, and a medium-firm feel.
If you prefer the feel of a foam mattress, which is often less bouncy (good for light sleepers) and more "slow-moving", and features a more "on top" feeling when you lie on it, you may prefer the Douglas Alpine foam mattress. The foam Alpine mattress is also priced more accessibly at $999 for a queen size.
If you like the feel of a hybrid or a coil mattress in general, you'll like the Douglas Alpine Hybrid. Priced at $1,079 for a queen, this mattress features a zoned coil base, which contributes to its higher bounce rate, making it very responsive. You can also enjoy body contouring support on this mattress, a nice perk of its 3-zone coil system.
Should I upgrade to Douglas Alpine?
If your budget allows for it, and you know that you would enjoy the added features of the Alpine Hybrid, it might be worth the upgrade. The Douglas Alpine Hybrid has thicker layers, more cooling features, and performed better in areas like edge support and motion isolation compared to the Douglas Original Hybrid. The Alpine Hybrid's features come at a slightly higher price of $1,079 for a queen-size, compared to $879 for the Douglas Original Hybrid.
Is the Douglas Alpine firm?
The Douglas Alpine Hybrid scored a 6.8/10 for firmness in third-party engineer testing (that we commissioned). While it's on the firmer side, it's still in the medium-firm range. Medium-firm mattresses usually work for all sleep positions, including side, back, and stomach.
If you want a softer mattress, you may prefer the foam counterpart of the Alpine mattress, which has a firmness score of 6.1/10.
Is the Douglas Hybrid mattress cover machine washable?
Yes, the cover is removable and machine washable. Simply unzip the top cover, wash it on a gentle cycle, and either air dry or tumble dry on low. The top cover zips back on without needing to move the mattress.
Are Douglas mattresses Canadian?
Yes, Douglas mattresses are designed and manufactured in Canada.
Who makes Douglas mattresses?
Douglas mattresses are made in Canada by GoodMorning, an independent mattress company founded in Edmonton, Alberta.

All the content on our site, from product reviews to comparisons, is intended to provide general information to help guide your mattress search. We work with independent third-party engineers to test all mattress products we purchase, and we use the test results alongside public data to inform our reviews and comparisons.
The product details in each review reflect how the mattress performed at the time we purchased and tested it, as shown by the "Published" date.
Since brands can update their materials, pricing, or availability over time, we also note when the product was originally purchased, either directly in the article or on our disclaimer page, to maintain clarity and transparency.
If you see an "Updated" tag on a page with a more recent date than the published date, it simply means we've made editorial changes. It does not necessarily indicate any update to the mattress or its test data.
Finally, unless otherwise stated, any mention of where a mattress is made refers specifically to the product we received and tested.
