Each Douglas mattress is made fresh to order from Canadian-sourced materials. Then they're expertly crafted in Canadian factories to top national quality standards. What's better? Douglas ships your new mattress to you for free.*
Helix Sleep is headquartered in New York City and primarily caters to American consumers. Although they offer free shipping in the USA, Helix charges an extra $250 to ship a mattress anywhere in Canada.

"Superb value and excellent quality. Super easy to order online and fast shipping. Best mattress we've had!"
Shane L. Verified Douglas Buyer
Toronto, ONDouglas mattresses have a medium-firm feel specifically designed to help reduce pressure points, improve spinal alignment, and alleviate back pain.
In a 2023 customer survey, 85% of back pain sufferers said Douglas helped with their back pain.
The Helix Midnight is known for its softness, and this may not be ideal for those who suffer from back pain. Without adequate support, a soft mattress can cause the spine to become misaligned, exacerbating pain and discomfort over time.
"[Douglas] got rid of my back pain almost immediately. I would highly recommend this mattress. My husband and I both had back issues for the past year and after one week of switching to the Douglas mattress, both of our pain has all but disappeared. I cannot say enough about this! Highly recommend!"
Danika M. Verified Douglas Buyer
Oak Bluff, MBForget about restless, overheated nights – The Douglas Summit comes fully loaded with innovative cooling features that work together to draw heat away from your body and maintain a comfortable surface temperature, including:
Polar® Phase-Change Materials
ecoLight® Cooling Gel Foam
CryoFusion™ Cooling Cover
The Helix Midnight only has one cooling upgrade available, a cover, and it will cost you an extra $270 CAD.
"The cooling cover is superb. I never sleep hot on the Douglas as I did with another foam mattress. It relieves pressure points but maintains a supported feel. I am very picky about mattresses and I can confidently say the Douglas Summit is perfect. I look forward to going to bed and can't wait to sleep in, seriously."
Tracy M. Verified Douglas Buyer
Port Elgin, ONDid you know? Most Canadians prefer a firmer mattress than Americans (source).
The Helix Midnight was the softest of 115+ mattresses tested* by licensed engineers. A foam mattress that is too soft could lead to overheating, discomfort, and even more back pain.
However, the Douglas Summit has a medium-firm feel that Canadians love. It's the perfect combination of gentle cushioning and healthy support that's ideal for nearly all sleep styles and body types.
*Based on testing by third-party engineers commissioned by GoodMorning.com, and covered in full detail in this APEGA-stamped report.
"Just the right firmness, the right support, and the right softness. My spine feels so comfortable in this bed. So much so, that I've taken to staying in bed after I wake and reading or surfing the Web. With my previous bed, I would have to get up and move around to ease the back pain, but with this mattress, I want to stay in bed longer."
Donald C. Verified Douglas Buyer
Salt Spring Island, BCEvery Douglas mattress comes with a 365-night sleep trial. That's right, a whole year to experience your mattress in each season and make sure it's 100% right for you. If it isn't, don't sweat it! Returns are completely free and fully arranged by us.
Helix only offers a 100-night sleep trial, that's nearly 9 months less than Douglas!
It would be good to know if the mattress you bought in the winter will still be comfortable in the summer. But, with only 100 nights, you might not notice any shortcomings until it's too late to get a refund. Then you'd have a mattress that doesn't meet your needs and the sting of buyer's remorse keeping you up at night.
"I never considered a foam mattress before, but the reviews and risk-free trial convinced me. I am glad they did! Slept great immediately and awake every morning pain-free. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made. Buy one, you won't be disappointed!"
Robert J. Verified Douglas Buyer
Cobourg, ONDouglas mattresses come with an incredible 15-year warranty. You can rest easy knowing that your Douglas mattress comes from a trusted Canadian manufacturer who is committed to providing you with a comfortable and supportive sleeping surface for many years to come.
If you'd like a 15-year warranty from Helix, you're going to have to pay for it. Helix only offers a 10-year warranty for their base models and requires an expensive upgrade to get those extra 5 years of warranty.
"So impressed! Delivery was quick and the price and warranty can't be beaten. And it's a Canadian company. Wins all around. I highly recommend the Douglas mattress."
Julia H. Verified Douglas Buyer
Paris, ONWe commissioned licensed third-party engineers to evaluate over 115 popular mattress brands on a number of criteria important to Canadian shoppers.
The Douglas Summit was rated as the number one mattress for minimizing motion transfer.
In contrast, the Helix Midnight was ranked in the bottom 35 mattresses for motion transfer, making it a less optimal choice for couples or those who share a bed with children or pets.

"We love our new Douglas Mattress. What a good investment. I toss a lot and was always worried that my partner was being affected by it, and now there is almost no motion transfer. I don't even hear him get up in the morning. If you are still pondering, don't! It was a great experience and purchase."
Kirsty S. Verified Douglas Buyer
Peterborough, ONA mattress with excellent edge support can make getting in and out of bed easier, which is particularly beneficial for those with mobility issues or back and joint pain. It can even enhance the expected lifespan of a mattress.
In third-party engineered testing, the Douglas Summit outscored the Helix Midnight mattress in terms of edge support. So you can be sure that Douglas is the ideal choice for those who value both durability and comfort.

"We absolutely love this mattress! It's the perfect combination of firm and soft, and the extra edge support of this mattress compared to other brands definitely shows...there is never a feeling of falling off when you are near the edge of the mattress. We could not be happier with our purchase!"
Eric P. Verified Douglas Buyer
Mississauga, ONWhile positive reviews on a mattress company's website are helpful, independent customer reviews on third-party sites are an even stronger indicator of product quality and customer satisfaction.
Douglas has received glowing customer reviews and earned the highest possible accreditations from both Trustpilot and the Better Business Bureau. This is a powerful testament to the company's commitment to excellence and customer service.
However, Helix has received less than stellar ratings from both the Better Business Bureau and Trustpilot.
*Trustpilot and BBB review information accurate as of 3/8/2023.
"Buying a mattress online without testing it, we put our trust in reviews and online research. It paid off because the mattress gives us a great night's sleep and we consider it one of the best purchases in our home. I specifically was hoping to support a Canadian brand and am happy we decided to go with Douglas. Highly recommend!"
Aurora B. Verified Douglas Buyer
Enfield, NSThe award-winning Douglas mattress collection is packed with features to ensure a good night's sleep. Canadians rave about it and it costs a fraction of the Helix Midnight mattress. Plus, you get a whole year to try it out at home. Restful nights are only a click away!
