The Douglas Original is a medium-firm combination foam mattress that stands 10" tall and comes in one firmness option. It's advertised as medium-firm, and third-party engineer testing that we commissioned confirmed this.

 

Mattress Layers

The Canadian-made Douglas Original has 3 layers of foam of different densities, each serving a specific purpose in the overall performance of the mattress.

  • 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.

Mattress Cover

Each Douglas mattress comes with a distinctive white cover featuring a mountain design and a bold red zipper. Made with CoolSense® fabric woven with Infinitex™ fibres, the cover is designed to wick away moisture and help maintain a cooler sleeping surface. The top cover is fully removable and machine washable, making it easy to keep the mattress clean and fresh.

Mattress Testing

Firmness

The Douglas Original scored 6.7/10 on firmness, placing it in the medium-firm range. It offers balanced support that should work for back, side, and stomach sleepers. Medium-firm mattresses are great choices for guest rooms and people who share a bed, as they appeal to a wide range of body types and sleep styles.

Our Rating
?

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

6.7

/10

Edge Support

Foam mattresses are not typically known for having above-average edge support, but the Douglas Original bucks that trend. Receiving a very good 7.8/10 score for this category, this mattress provides consistent support along the perimeter, which is helpful for sitting or sleeping near the edge.

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.

7.8

/10

Cooling Features

Our mattress reviewers awarded the Douglas Original a cooling feature score of 5.0/10. This score is calculated based on the features below:

  1. CoolSense® cover helps wick away moisture to keep the surface cool and dry
  2. Open-cell foam, which helps improve the breathability of the mattress
  3. ecoLight® cooling gel foam layer promotes better temperature regulation
  4. Elastex® layer provides breathable, latex-like support with enhanced airflow

If you're looking for more advanced cooling features, check out the Douglas Summit.

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.

5.0

/10

Motion Isolation

The Douglas Original mattress received a great motion isolation score of 8.3/10. This mattress limits movement across the surface, making it a strong pick for couples or light sleepers.

Want even more motion isolation? Consider upgrading to the Douglas Summit, which received an even better motion isolation 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.

8.3

/10

Bounce

With a score of 3.1/10, the Douglas Original has minimal bounce. This contributes to a more stable, motion-absorbing surface, which is usually good for those who are easily woken from movements on the bed. Those seeking more bounce and responsiveness may prefer a coil-based mattress instead.

Our Rating
?

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