8 Reasons to Choose Douglas Instead of Simba

1
Douglas Comes with a FREE Comfort Sleep Bundle*

If you buy any Douglas mattress today, not only will you take home the mattress that multiple mattress experts have declared "Canada's Best Mattress" – you'll also get a Comfort Sleep Bundle for FREE.*

The Comfort Sleep Bundle includes all the bedding basics you need for your bedroom.

With Simba, you pay a substantially higher price, but you get a lot less in return: a much shorter sleep trial, no cooling gel foam, and no sleep bundle.

*While supplies last. Terms apply.

"This Comfort Sleep Bundle was a great bonus! The pillow offered the proper amount of firmness for good neck support. The mattress cover was of good quality and the sheet set just completed everything we needed. What a treat!"

Douglas Has a Firmness Canadians Love

Each Douglas mattress is meticulously designed to deliver a "medium-firm" feel – firm enough for full-body support, with just a bit of cushioning for all-night comfort.

This makes Douglas suitable for a diverse range of body types and sleep preferences. It's also an excellent option for couples sharing a bed or those seeking a mattress for a guest room.

The medium-firm Douglas mattress provides the essential support to keep your spine comfortably aligned while offering ample cushioning to prevent persistent pressure points.

With a self-described “firm” feel, the Simba 1500 might not have enough cushioning for side sleepers.

"Very comfortable. Firm for my back but like sleeping on a cloud at the same time. I like how I don’t feel my partner's movements during the night."

Douglas Offers a 365-Night Trial

Enjoy a full year to test your new Douglas mattress at home with our 365-night sleep trial. That’s 3x longer than what Simba offers for any of their mattresses.

Take your time to ensure Douglas is the perfect fit for you. From the warmest summer nights to the coolest winter evenings, we want to make sure you love your Douglas mattress every single night of the year, not just the first few months.

If you do decide to return your Douglas mattress, we’ll give you a full return and arrange to pick up your mattress. It costs $65 to return a Simba mattress, and even then you can only do a one-time reselection of another Sleep Country mattress. Once they’ve got your money, you’re locked in regardless if you’re getting a better sleep or not.

"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."

Douglas Has Excellent Cooling Features

It’s easy to get a good night’s sleep when you’re cool and comfortable.

Not only does Douglas have open-cell foam to encourage airflow throughout the night, Douglas also has three built-in cooling features:

CoolSense® Cover for a chilly first touch
ecoLight® Cooling Gel Foam that dissipates heat
Polar® Temperature Balancing,* a phase-change material that keeps the temperature of the mattress within a comfortable range

Simba saves their best features exclusively for their more expensive (and softer) mattresses.

*Polar® Temperature Balancing is available for Douglas Alpine and Summit models only.

”So comfortable and really does stay cool. It's about time something works as advertised.”

Douglas Has a Machine-Washable Cover

Cleaning up spills or maintaining a fresh mattress is effortless with Douglas. Just unzip the top panel of Douglas’s CoolSense® cover for easy cleaning. It's both washer and dryer safe, and built to withstand multiple wash cycles. Reattaching the cover is just as convenient.

Simba’s mattress covers require spot cleaning. They also lack any anti-bacterial treatments. If your mattress starts to smell, it takes a lot more hard work to get it feeling fresh again.

"I love that the cover is removable and washable. It looks great, is super comfortable, and I don't have any issue with it being too warm, which was a huge concern of mine."

Douglas Is Eco-Conscious

Douglas is proudly made in Canada using materials you can trust. Our foam is CertiPUR-US® certified. This means we do not use any ozone depleters, heavy metals or hazardous flame retardants during manufacturing.

Every Douglas mattress made in Eastern Canada is manufactured using energy from over 90% non-emitting sources, including wind and hydro. Plus, Douglas uses low-carbon materials like ecoLight® foam and fabrics with sustainable, plant-based fibres.

"I spent a lot of time reviewing and comparing mattresses before I bought my Douglas. What sold me was the firmness level, sustainability, eco responsibility, and that I was supporting a Canadian-made product."
