Product Overview
Douglas launched its mattress-in-a-box brand in Canada in 2017 and quickly built a reputation for offering well-made mattresses at accessible price points. In 2026, the brand introduced its line of hybrid mattresses.
The Douglas Original Hybrid is priced at $879 for a queen. It was designed to be the hybrid version of the all-foam Douglas Original: the brand’s entry-level and most popular mattress. Like the Douglas Original, the hybrid model has a medium-firm feel that suits all sleep styles. Douglas Hybrid also keeps features loved by many Douglas customers like the removable, machine-washable cover. But its coils and reinforced perimeter give the hybrid model more cooling features and even stronger edge support.
Every Douglas mattress is proudly made in Canada and comes with a 365-night sleep trial and a 20-year warranty (both longer than the industry standard). Plus, mattress purchases come with a free bedding bundle that includes a cotton sheet set, duvet cover, down alternative duvet, pillow(s), pillow protector(s), and a mattress protector.

Douglas Hybrid Mattress Construction
The Douglas Original Hybrid is the coiled sibling of the award-winning Douglas Original foam mattress. Compared to the all-foam version, Douglas Original Hybrid adds an extra foam layer and zoned support coils for a more supportive, bouncier feel. That said, it keeps lots of the same great features as the Douglas Original, like the universal medium-firm feel, strong motion isolation, and a machine-washable cover.
Mattress Layers
The Douglas Original Hybrid mattress is 12" tall and has 4 layers. All the foam used in the mattress is CertiPUR-US® certified and made in Canada.
- 1st Layer: 2" ecoLift® cooling gel foam that relieves pressure points and keeps heat from building up.
- 2nd Layer: 1" Elastex® transition foam that cushions, contours, and provides extra bounce.
- 3rd Layer: 8" Exoforge™ individually pocketed coils that give extra support under the hips and lower back, with foam around the edges for better edge support.
- 4th Layer: 1" motion-isolation support foam that acts as a solid base and helps reduce movement across the bed.
Mattress Cover
Every Douglas mattress comes wrapped in the brand's white CoolSense® cover, featuring a mountain-style pattern and the classic red zipper. The fabric incorporates Infinitex™ fibres that are designed to wick moisture away from the body for cooler, drier sleep. Cleaning the cover is easy, too, since it can be removed and machine-washed.

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 offers free mattress delivery to most locations across Canada using FedEx, although some remote shoppers may have to pay an extra fee. Orders ship out from warehouses in Alberta or Ontario and usually arrive within 2–10 business days.
The mattress is shipped compressed and rolled, sealed in two layers of durable plastic, and packed in a sturdy cardboard box to protect it during transit. The box has built-in handles to make moving it to your room of choice quicker and easier. After unboxing, it expands right away and is usually ready to sleep on the same day.
Douglas offers a 365-night sleep trial on its mattresses, giving you plenty of time to try it out at home. If it isn't the right fit, the company arranges free return pickup and issues a full refund. Returned mattresses are donated to local charities, or responsibly recycled. Every Douglas mattress is also covered by a 20-year warranty for added peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Douglas Original Hybrid a good mattress?
The Douglas Original Hybrid earned high scores in third-party engineering testing that we commissioned. It has great edge support and standout motion isolation for a hybrid mattress, along with high bounce and a medium-firm feel that should work for all sleep styles. The mattress is priced lower than similar hybrids on the market at $679 for a queen size. The Douglas Original Hybrid comes with a 365-night sleep trial and a 20-year warranty, making it a strong option for any Canadian sleeper looking to upgrade their mattress.
What's the difference between the Douglas Original Hybrid and Douglas Alpine Hybrid?
The Douglas Original Hybrid is 1" shorter than the Douglas Alpine Hybrid and has slightly shorter layers of ecoLift™ cooling foam and open-cell Elastex® foam. Unlike the Original model, the Alpine also contains Polar™ phase-change material for even better temperature regulation. Douglas Alpine Hybrid also earned higher scores for edge support and motion isolation.
The two models also vary when it comes to price. The Douglas Original Hybrid costs $879 for a queen-size, compared to $1,079 for the Douglas Alpine Hybrid. It might be worth the price jump if you want more cooling, edge support, and motion isolation in your mattress.
Is the Douglas Hybrid mattress cover machine washable?
Yes, the mattress cover can be removed and machine-washed. Just unzip the top cover, wash it on a gentle cycle, and either air dry or tumble dry on a low setting. Once cleaned, the cover zips back on easily without having to move the mattress.
Where to buy a Douglas mattress?
You can buy a Douglas hybrid mattress in Canada on the company's website at douglas.ca.
Do Douglas mattresses have fiberglass?
Douglas mattresses are made without fiberglass. While some U.S.-made mattresses use fiberglass for fire protection, Douglas products are manufactured in Canada and rely on alternative fire-safety materials instead.
Can you flip a Douglas mattress?
Flipping a Douglas mattress isn't recommended, as it's designed to be used one way only. Turning it over can affect how the mattress feels and performs, including its firmness and support.
Do you need a box spring with a Douglas mattress?
No, you don't need a box spring to use a Douglas mattress! Douglas recommends pairing the mattress with a platform bed, wooden foundation, slatted frame (like the Douglas Upholstered Bed), or an adjustable base.
If you want to use your current box spring with a Douglas, you might have to check out its construction. Douglas advises against using a traditional box spring (a wooden frame with thin wire supports). This type of base doesn't provide enough support for modern mattresses and can lead to damage, potentially voiding the warranty.
Where are Douglas mattresses made?
All Douglas mattresses are made in Canada.
Should you buy the Douglas Hybrid mattress?
The Douglas Original Hybrid is a solid option for sleepers looking for a hybrid mattress with cooling features, standout motion isolation, and a machine-washable cover. Prices start at $679, and each purchase comes with a 20-year warranty, a 365-night sleep trial, and a free bedding bundle that includes a cotton sheet set, duvet cover, down alternative duvet, pillow(s), pillow protector(s), and a mattress protector.

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.
