Product Overview
The Douglas Summit is a Canadian-made, medium-firm cooling gel foam mattress and the most advanced model in the Douglas lineup. Summit is built with multiple layers designed for cooling, support, and pressure relief, including a moisture-wicking CoolSense® cover, ecoLight® cooling gel foam, phase-change material, and breathable Elastex® foam. All foams used are CertiPUR-US® certified, meeting strict standards for safety and emissions.
Priced at $1,299 for a queen, Douglas Summit comes with a 365-night sleep trial and a 20-year warranty, both longer than the industry standard. Douglas is also rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot by verified customers.

Douglas Summit Mattress Construction
The Summit mattress incorporates more advanced features compared to the other two mattresses in the Douglas lineup, giving you extra cushioning, cooling, and support.
The top comfort layer is infused with phase-change material and cooling gel to help regulate temperature, while the middle transition foam provides pressure relief and keeps you from sinking in too deeply. The base layer is made of high-density support foam for durability and stability. All foams are CertiPUR-US® certified, meaning they're made without harmful chemicals.
Mattress Layers
The Douglas Summit is designed with 3 layers of foam and stands 12" tall. Like the other Douglas mattresses, it's handmade in Canada.
- 1st Layer: 2.5" ecoLight® cooling gel foam enhanced by Polar® phase-change material, making it lighter and more durable than regular memory foam. It helps make the mattress more breathable and regulates temperature.
- 2nd Layer: 2.5" of Elastex® Transition foam, a latex-free open-cell foam, which provides both support and bouncy responsiveness to the mattress, similar to latex.
- 3rd Layer: 7" of Motion-Isolation Support Foam, designed to reduce motion transfer and provide great stability and support.
Mattress Cover
Every Douglas Summit comes with the brand's signature CoolSense® cover, styled with a crisp white top, mountain-grey sidewalls, and a bright red zipper accent. Made with plant-based Infinitex™ fibres, the cover is breathable, helps wick away moisture, and resists odours. It's also removable and machine washable, so keeping your mattress clean is simple.

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 ships directly to your door via FedEx. Delivery is available to any location in Canada, and will ship from Ontario or Alberta, although additional fees may apply for some remote regions. You should receive your mattress in 2–10 business days.
Each mattress is compressed, sealed in two layers of durable plastic, and packaged in a cardboard box for safe transport. After unboxing, the mattress expands quickly and is ready to sleep on the same night.
Douglas has a 20-year warranty, which is longer than the industry standard of 10 years. It also comes with a generous 365-night sleep trial, giving you plenty of time to see if it's the right fit across all Canadian seasons. If you decide it's not working out during the trial period, the Douglas support team will arrange a free pickup and provide a full refund. Returned mattresses are mostly donated, depending on the options in your area, though some are taken to local recycling facilities if donation isn't an option.

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.
