Product Overview
The Douglas Alpine is a Canadian-made, medium-firm cooling gel foam mattress designed as an upgrade to the brand’s top-selling Douglas Original. The Alpine is constructed with three layers of foam, including a cooling gel layer with phase-change material and a responsive transition foam. Every foam layer is CertiPUR-US® certified, ensuring it meets rigorous standards for emissions and durability.
Priced at $999 for a queen, the Douglas Alpine comes with a 365-night sleep trial and a 20-year warranty, both longer than the industry standard. Alpine also includes features that aren’t always used in mattresses in this price range, like temperature-regulating phase-change material.
If you’re on a budget, check out the Douglas Original. It has a lower price point, making it a great choice for budget-conscious shoppers who still want quality and comfort. That said, if you’d prefer to upgrade to even more pressure-relief and cooling features, take a look at Douglas Summit.

Douglas Alpine Mattress Construction
Douglas Alpine is a combination foam mattress with a medium-firm feel. Its 3 foam layers blend comfort and support while targeting motion isolation, pressure relief, and temperature regulation. All foam is CertiPUR-US® certified and made in Canada.
Mattress Layers
The Canadian-made Douglas Alpine has 3 foam layers, with the same composition but thicker than the layers in the entry-level Douglas Original mattress. One standout feature is the Alpine's top layer, which includes phase-change material. This material helps keep the mattress at a comfortable temperature and is usually found in higher-end models.
- 1st Layer: 2.25" ecoLight® cooling gel foam enhanced with Polar® phase-change material designed to relieve pressure points and regulate temperature. It absorbs extra body heat during warmer nights and redistributes it on cooler nights.
- 2nd Layer: 2.25" Elastex® Transition foam to promote body contouring and add a bit of responsiveness, similar to latex.
- 3rd Layer: 6.5" Motion-Isolation Support Foam for a high-density base, giving stability and support while reducing motion transfer across the mattress.
Mattress Cover
Every Douglas mattress comes with a signature CoolSense® white cover designed with a mountain motif and a bright red zipper. The fabric used to make this cover is built with Infinitex™ fibres that help draw moisture away from the body for temperature regulation. This fabric blend also makes the cover breathable and prevents odours. The Douglas cover is removable and machine washable, making it easy to keep clean and fresh.

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 ship free to most locations across Canada via FedEx. Orders are sent from regional warehouses in Alberta or Ontario and typically arrive within 2–10 business days. Some remote areas may incur additional delivery fees.
Each mattress is compressed, sealed in two layers of durable plastic, and packaged in a cardboard box for safe transport. After unboxing, the mattress quickly expands to its full size and is ready to sleep on the same night.
Douglas provides a generous 365-night sleep trial, one of the longest in Canada. If the mattress isn't right for you, Douglas will arrange free pickup and issue a full refund. Returned mattresses are either donated to local charities or recycled, depending on regional programs and availability.

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.
