Douglas Alpine Review
Douglas Alpine at a glance would feel like an upgrade, but for our sleep testers, it did not rank favourably over the Douglas Original, or any other similarly priced mattresses.. With just one more inch in height, the Alpine costs $200 more than the Douglas Original.
Our testers were concerned with how deep they sank when testing edge support, and the lack of bounce, which created an enveloping feeling when lying down. Another concern is the cover of the mattress is at risk of pilling, especially when laundered. If you’re looking for a true upgrade from the Douglas Original, consider Silk & Snow S&S Mattress instead.

Performance
Top Sleep Picks works with third parties to test mattresses and uses public data to inform ratings across various criteria.
Firmness
Douglas advertises the Alpine as a medium-firm mattress. If you’re looking for different firmness levels, or are unsure about what firmness level suits your sleep style, we’d encourage you to consider a mattress that offers multiple firmness levels, such as the Silk & Snow S&S.
Edge Support
Douglas Alpine sank considerably when our sleep testers sat directly on the edge. At some points, our sleep testers slipped off the edge. However, if you sleep in the middle of the mattress, this shouldn’t be a concern. If you share a bed with someone, we’d recommend looking at a mattress with reinforced edges, like The Endy.
Motion Isolation
Our sleep tests showed some motion transfer in Douglas Alpine, suggesting you could experience disturbances to your sleep if you sleep with a partner or a pet.
