Which Mattress Should You Buy?
By buying a high-quality mattress, you are making a long-term investment in better-quality sleep. The cost-value relationship and your needs and comfort preferences should be carefully considered before making a purchase. While there is a lot of buzz on which mattress is better the decision of our sleep testers leans in favour of the Endy Mattress. While the Endy Mattress is priced slightly higher, our sleep testers report better product attributes and sleep experience. Please review each segment of the review down to the Conclusions to understand how we came to this finding.
Construction
The Endy
1. Micro Quilted Cover
The Endy Mattress’s four-way stretch cover is soft, breathable, antimicrobial, and machine-washable.
2. Comfort Foam
Endy’s ultra-breathable foam is made with an open-cell structure that allows air to flow through. Endy Comfort Foam is also exceptionally responsive: it cradles and supports but won’t let your body sink into it.
3. Transition Foam
Designed to promote pressure relief and eliminate motion transfer.
4. Support Foam
Endy’s durable, high-density base layer offers a combination of firmness and support that many sleepers desire.
All three foam layers are certified by CertiPUR-US® and are temperature-neutral.
Douglas Original
1. CoolSense® Cover
Washable cover of sustainable Infinitex™ fibres. It is meant to draw moisture away from the body to remain cool and dry.
2. ecoLight® Cooling Gel Foam
The ecoLight® cooling gel foam is described as durable, responsive, and luxurious as high-density memory foam and is meant to prevent retaining heat or have a “quicksand” feeling.
3. Premium Elastex Foam
Said to capture the supportive and responsive properties of natural latex foam.
4. Motion Isolation Support Foam
Said to capture the supportive and responsive properties of natural latex foam.
Comfort
Best Overall
The Endy Mattress
The Endy Mattress is designed to ease pressure points throughout your body, alleviating aches and pains, and providing optimal comfort and responsive support in every sleep position. Additionally, its breathable open-cell foam construction offers better airflow and a satisfyingly cool sleep compared to traditional memory foam. If you share your bed with a partner or a pet, it will absorb their movements, so your sleep is not disrupted.
Douglas Original Mattress
In another sleep test comparison, the Douglas Original mattress was described as “underwhelming”. The testers said they felt a sinking feeling each time they lay on it, which increased as it was used. This implies that it will offer less spine support over time. While Douglas states on their website this mattress is medium-firm, our testers categorize the Douglas Orignal as a medium-soft mattress. For anyone who genuinely prefers a softer mattress, the Douglas Original could be their choice versus more firm alternatives.
Motion Transfer
All-foam mattresses typically provide a great level of motion isolation. This is a great feature to look for if you’re someone who sleeps with a partner or pet. Douglas states that its “calm and relaxing” support foam eliminates motion transfer without undermining edge support. Endy reports that its mattress “excels in motion isolation.” It attributes this to a premium foam composition that is designed to quickly absorb vibrations, which stops them from crossing the mattress surface. Let’s compare Endy vs Douglas in their motion transfer tests.
Best Overall
The Endy
The Endy mattress excels in motion isolation, a feature highly valued by all-foam mattress enthusiasts. All three layers of the Endy Mattress (including the 3” of transition foam) work together to eliminate movement. This combination swiftly absorbs vibrations, effectively preventing them from traversing the mattress surface. This means that if you share your bed with a partner, children, or pets, their movements will be efficiently contained, providing you with an undisturbed and more restful sleep experience.
Douglas Original
Our testers observed some movement in a water vessel placed on the surface of the Douglas Original mattress when getting on/off. For anyone who shares a mattress, some movement from the other party may occasionally be experienced. This means that light sleepers who share their bed with others and who are sensitive to even slight disturbances caused by their movement may not get their best sleep while lying on the Douglas Original.
Breathability
Breathability in a mattress is a desirable and important attribute for gaining a more comfortable sleep. By supporting air circulation and shedding heat, breathability ultimately contributes to a cooler and more pleasing sleeping environment. We observed during our sleep tests that Douglas significantly lacked airflow and breathability, which resulted in sweat and overheating for our sleep testers. Contrast this with Endy, our sleep testers found it to wick away heat and moisture, and provide, providing a more comfortable sleep experience compared to Douglas. In this criteria for Douglas vs Endy mattress, Endy is the clear winner.
Conclusion
So, here’s what Top Sleep Picks concludes are the key overall findings to help you make your buying decision with confidence.
In the end, it really comes down to acknowledged quality. In other reviews on TPS, as well as in details on each company’s website, you’ll find that Endy rises to the top: 9.3/10 for Endy versus 6.8/10 for Douglas by TSP reviewers, and 4.9/5 versus 4.7/5, respectively, by sleepers expressing their opinions on each company’s website.
While the Endy Mattress is priced slightly higher, you’ll be purchasing a better-quality mattress. And, finally, consider a key differentiator: comfort. Yes, the Douglas Original may appeal to those who prefer softer memory foam, but it would be an undesirable trait if you want optimal firmness and support. If longer-lasting support and pressure-point relief are what you’re seeking, the Endy Mattress is for you.
