Canada

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

Made in

Firmness

Douglas Alpine scored 6.1/10 for firmness, placing it in the medium-firm category. This typically suits side, stomach, and back sleepers who weigh under 250 lb, offering a balance of contour and support. But since it leans to the softer end of medium-firm, Douglas Alpine was our Top Pick for Best Mattress for Side Sleepers of 2025.

Our Rating
?

Determined by how much the mattress sinks under applied weight. The lower the score out of 10, the softer the mattress.

6.1

/10

Edge Support

With a score of 6.8/10, the mattress provides stable support around the perimeter. Sleepers should feel secure sitting or sleeping close to the edge of the mattress.

Want even more edge support? The Douglas Original received a higher edge support score of 7.8/10.

Our Rating
?

Determined by how much the mattress edge sinks under applied weight. A mattress with average to good edge support will score 5/10 or higher.

6.8

/10

Cooling Features

Our mattress reviewers gave the Douglas Alpine a cooling feature score of 7.3/10. This rating reflects the combined effect of the following features:

  1. CoolSense® cover made with moisture-wicking fibres for a cooler sleep surface
  2. ecoLight® cooling gel foam, designed to dissipate heat more effectively
  3. Polar® phase-change material that adjusts to body temperature to reduce overheating
  4. Open-cell foam construction that's more breathable than closed-cell foam
  5. Elastex® transition foam that promotes airflow and breathability

Douglas Alpine balances its cooling features with its $999 price for a queen size. If cooling is a top priority, consider the Octave Vista. It scored higher at 8.0/10 and comes in at $899 for a queen size.

Our Rating
?

Determined by entering a mattress's cooling features into our scoring algorithm. The more effective cooling features that are present, the higher the score out of 10.

7.3

/10

Motion Isolation

If you are a light sleeper, movement on your mattress can mess with your sleep. That's why it makes sense to get a mattress that really isolates motion to help you stay rested. At 8.5/10, motion isolation is one of Douglas Alpine's strongest features. It's a good choice for couples, light sleepers, or households with kids or pets.

For sleepers who share a mattress and want the best motion isolation experience, a mattress like Douglas Summit might be a good choice with its even higher score of 8.8/10.

Our Rating
?

Determined by measuring a medicine ball's impact on the mattress. Average to good motion isolation would be 5/10 or higher.

8.5

/10

Bounce

At 3.6/10, Alpine helps keep a steady surface and cut down on unwanted movement. This is slightly below-average for a foam mattress. This lower bounce can benefit sleepers who prefer a more stable and contouring feel. Bounce is generally a matter of personal preference. It's all about how quickly the mattress returns to its shape after you sit or lie down on it.

Our Rating
?

Determined by dropping a medicine ball onto the mattress. The higher the first bounce, the higher the score out of 10.

Should You Buy Douglas Alpine?

Douglas Alpine

Queen $999

The Douglas Alpine builds on the Douglas Original with added comfort and cooling features while staying at a mid-range price. It's a good option for sleepers who want pressure relief, enhanced motion isolation, and the convenience of a washable cooling cover. You might like the Douglas Alpine if you want:

  • Great motion isolation and good edge support
  • Enhanced cooling and pressure-relief features
  • A free bedding bundle with your purchase
  • A generous 365-night home trial and 20-year warranty

That said, Douglas Alpine sits in the mid-range of the Douglas lineup. If you're looking to spend less, the Douglas Original delivers excellent value at a lower price ($799 for a queen). For those seeking top-tier cooling and comfort layers, the Douglas Summit ($1,299 for a queen) may be worth the upgrade.
