    Douglas Original Mattress
    In comparison to The Casper, Douglas Original was not as comfortable. There is low bounce on this mattress, causing a sinking feeling for some sleepers. The polyester fabric of the cover loses freshness, pilling and causes static with time.

    Motion Transfer

    If you share a bed with a partner or pet, feeling their movements throughout the night can be detrimental to your sleep.Some mattresses may bounce or shake when one person moves, while others can absorb the motion and isolate vibrations. To assess this, we conducted a motion isolation test by placing a vessel of coloured water on each mattress and observing its stability during various movements. The Casper excelled in absorbing motion, mitigating interruptions during sleep. When we compared The Casper mattress vs Douglas Original, we could see that Casper was a clear winner in this criteria.
    Best Overall
    The Casper
    The high-density memory foam on The Casper ensures maximum motion absorption. There was little to no movement in the water vessel.. Based on our observations, we anticipate that individual sleepers would experience minimal disturbance from their partner or pet sharing the mattress
    Douglas Original
    The Douglas Original exhibited minimal to some movement in the water vessel when the tester got on and off the bed. For individuals who share a mattress, it’s expected that some movement may be felt by the sleeper.

    Breathability

    The breathability of a mattress plays a crucial role in facilitating air circulation and dissipating heat, ultimately contributing to a cooler and more comfortable sleeping environment. The Casper features a signature AirScape technology that enhances airflow in the mattress and radically wicks away heat and moisture. Sleep science has shown that a colder sleep environment leads to a more optimal and restful sleep, thus, Casper is better at delivering a cool sleep surface.

    Conclusion

    When comparing popular sleep brands Casper vs Douglas, our sleep testers have taken into account key evaluation criteria we feel are important to consider when investing in a mattress, including overall comfort, support, breathability, and motion transfer.

    Priced at $799 CAD for a Queen mattress, the Douglas Original presents an affordable option.

    Although a higher price of  $1499 CAD for a Queen, Casper’s signature mattress delivers exceptional comfort, long-lasting durability, and support, justifying the cost. The impressive airflow and breathability keep sleepers cool and sweat-free throughout the night, while the ProSupport premium memory foam offers spinal alignment, pressure relief, and optimal motion absorption. When choosing between the Casper and the Douglas, we recommend choosing Casper.
