My Honest Review of the Douglas Mattress by GoodMorning.com

Share The Love!

I have partnered with GoodMorning.com and was provided with a mattress in exchange for my thoughts. My opinions are my own. There are affiliate links in this post; if you choose to purchase I will get a small commission with no extra cost to you! Thanks for supporting the brands that support us at Will Save For Travel!

As you know, a mattress is a really important purchase! You want something comfortable and well made, all at an affordable price.

I started researching mattresses a few months ago, as it was time to replace ours. I wanted something that was made in Canada, eco friendly and within our budget of about $800. I also didn’t want to drive around testing out mattresses with pressure to buy from a salesperson in a showroom. 

Let me tell you why Douglas by GoodMorning.com checks all my boxes!

Eco-Friendly and Canadian Mattress

First of all Douglas is made in Canada, in fact they are made in Ontario and Quebec, usually within hours of your order!

It is made with 3 layers of foam; the top layer is a cooling gel foam, which keeps you from overheating at night. The middle layer is a supportive foam, and the bottom layer is 6 inches of motion isolation supportive foam, so you don’t have to worry about your partner (or dog) disturbing you throughout the night.

I also love GoodMorning.com‘s commitment to the environment. As you know I have been trying to lower my carbon footprint, and the Douglas is made from ecoLight®️ foam. The foam is less dense (meaning it’s lighter and easier to transport), and made with 40% less carbon input. The mattress cover is made with Tencel®️ fibre, made from renewable wood sources in a process that produces almost zero-waste. 

The company uses 90% renewable energy to manufacture their mattresses, limiting their carbon emissions!

Price, Sleep Trial and Customer Service

A mattress can be an expensive purchase, so you want to make sure it’s the right one for you, and that it will last.

First of all, a Queen size Douglas by GoodMorning.com comes in at $749 and the King Size is just $849! Almost every mattress made in Canada is going to be $1000+ so you are saving money right off the bat!

I know it seems scary to buy a mattress without ever testing it out! That’s why GoodMorning.com has a 120 night sleep trial. That’s practically 4 months to make sure that you’ve got the right mattress for you. They recommend giving your new mattress a try for at least 30 nights. Usually you have an adjustment period to a new mattress. 

So what if the mattress isn’t right for you? Contact the amazing team at Customer Service and they will help you out! Returns are completely free and the company will send someone out to pick up your mattress (no you don’t have to roll it back into that box!!). 

The best part? That mattress will go to someone in need. Returns are never restocked, they are donated to local charities and organizations so that someone can have a comfortable bed. 

My Honest Review

The first thing that impressed me is that delivery was super quick! It came within days of being ordered and shipping is free as well.

The box is large (but it definitely doesn’t look large enough to have a mattress in it). My brother managed to get it in the house by himself (I was traveling and wasn’t home, thanks bro!), but I would say it should be a two-person job to move it around.

The next day my husband and I arrived home to our new mattress, and unboxed it. Unboxing took about 6 minutes, and it was super easy! Just take off the plastic and watch the mattress inflate. Definitely unbox your mattress in the room where it’s going to go, you don’t want to have to move it too far after it’s inflated!

We put it on our custom made bed frame that my husband made last year. If you have a regular box-spring, you’ll need a piece of plywood to put between your boxspring and your mattress so you don’t void your warranty!

There was no odor or off-gassing that I noticed. 

As of today we’ve been sleeping on the Douglas for about a week now. I will say that the first few nights I wasn’t sure. The foam was so different from the traditional mattress that we had for the last 10 years! After the 3rd night I really started to enjoy it.

I’m normally a stomach sleeper, and the Douglas feels firm enough that my back doesn’t hurt when I lay on my stomach. I also feel comfortable on my side and on my back. The Douglas pillows are perfect for me, not too bulky, although to be honest my husband didn’t love his. 

Final Thoughts

I’m really happy with the Douglas and GoodMorning.com in general. I’m definitely looking forward to more cozy nights on my new mattress. 

The good news? If this mattress isn’t for you, GoodMorning.com has 6 others to choose from! Make sure to check them out.
