About DoubleTree by Hilton Ottawa
DoubleTree by Hilton Ottawa is one of the Canadian capital's well-established full-service hotels, offering a central location that appeals to both leisure and business travellers. The hotel is immediately recognisable to regular travellers: DoubleTree properties worldwide greet arriving guests with a warm chocolate chip cookie, a small gesture that has become one of the most effective brand touchpoints in the hospitality industry.
For Ottawa visitors, DoubleTree represents a reliable upscale choice in the Hilton portfolio -- positioned above Hampton Inn and Hilton Garden Inn, offering more extensive amenities and a more carefully curated guest experience. Government visitors, diplomats, and conference attendees who do not require the full-service Hilton flagship but want something above a select-service property often choose DoubleTree as their Ottawa base.
Sleep quality is a genuine differentiator for DoubleTree. The brand has invested in its sleep product through Hilton's Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience programme, which applies across all DoubleTree properties.
What Mattress Does DoubleTree Ottawa Use?
DoubleTree by Hilton, along with all Hilton-brand properties, uses the Serta Suite Dreams mattress. This is a commercial product supplied exclusively to Hilton brands through a long-standing partnership between Serta and Hilton Hotels & Resorts. The Serta Suite Dreams is not available for retail purchase in Canada; it is manufactured specifically for Hilton's commercial programme.
The Serta Suite Dreams mattress is an innerspring-based commercial model designed for durability and consistent support. Key characteristics include:
- An innerspring coil system with a medium-to-firm support profile
- Upholstered comfort layers above the coil unit for surface cushioning
- Commercial-grade ticking and edge support for high-rotation hotel use
- A profile designed to appeal to the broadest range of sleeper types
At the DoubleTree tier, the Serta Suite Dreams implementation includes additional bedding components that elevate the experience above what Hampton Inn or Hilton Garden Inn provide, as outlined in Hilton's Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience tiering.
Sleep Science: The Role of Bedding Systems in Sleep Quality
Jacobson et al. (2010) conducted a controlled study in which participants replaced their existing mattresses with new bedding systems and reported significant improvements in back pain, sleep quality, and perceived stress levels. The improvements were most pronounced for participants who had been sleeping on older or lower-quality mattresses, suggesting that mattress quality is a direct variable in sleep health outcomes, not merely a comfort preference.

What Is Hilton's Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience?
Hilton's Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience is the brand's formal sleep programme, implemented across Hilton's portfolio with different specifications at different brand tiers. The programme was developed to address the consistent finding that sleep quality is among the top factors hotel guests evaluate when rating their stay.
The Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience at DoubleTree by Hilton typically includes:
- The Serta Suite Dreams mattress as the core support surface
- A down or down-alternative duvet of heavier fill weight than lower-tier Hilton brands
- Multiple pillow options, including standard, firm, and soft variants, often available on request through Hilton's pillow menu
- White cotton-blend sheets with improved thread count versus select-service properties
- A mattress pad for surface protection and comfort layering
- Blackout curtains for light control, a component the National Sleep Foundation (2023) identifies as significant for sleep onset in hotel environments
The "Sweet Dreams" branding reinforces what the system is designed to deliver: a predictably comfortable sleep regardless of which DoubleTree property the guest is visiting, whether in Ottawa, Vancouver, or internationally.
How DoubleTree Compares to Hampton Inn
Within the Hilton family, DoubleTree sits at the upscale tier while Hampton Inn is classified as an upper-midscale property. Both use Serta mattresses through Hilton's commercial programme, but there are meaningful differences in the bedding specification:
- Duvet fill weight: DoubleTree uses a heavier duvet fill, providing warmer and more substantial bedding than Hampton Inn's standard comforter
- Pillow selection: DoubleTree's pillow menu typically offers more options, including a firmer pillow for guests who prefer additional neck support
- Thread count: Sheet thread count at DoubleTree is generally higher than at Hampton Inn, contributing to a softer surface feel
- Room ambience: DoubleTree rooms are larger and more fully appointed, which affects the overall sleep environment through better sound isolation and more thoughtful layout
Radwan et al. (2015) noted that sleep quality outcomes depend not solely on mattress specification but on the total sleep environment, including thermal conditions and surface texture -- areas where DoubleTree's bedding programme offers a measurable advantage over select-service alternatives.
What Serta Suite Dreams Feels Like
Guests at DoubleTree properties consistently describe the Serta Suite Dreams mattress as firm-to-medium with a relatively flat surface. Unlike the Westin Heavenly Bed's prominent sewn-on pillow-top, the Serta Suite Dreams does not have a dramatically cushioned comfort layer. The feel is clean, supportive, and neutral -- designed to accommodate back sleepers, stomach sleepers, and side sleepers without strongly favouring any single position.
The mattress pad placed over the Serta Suite Dreams adds a secondary layer of surface softness that many guests attribute to the overall comfort sensation. Without this pad, the mattress would read as distinctly firm. With it, the combination produces a medium-firm feel that most guests rate as comfortable without being memorable in the way the Westin Heavenly Bed's pillow-top tends to be.
Talia, Showroom Specialist, Mattress Miracle: "DoubleTree guests often describe the bed as 'clean and supportive' rather than 'incredibly plush.' It's a solid hotel mattress -- you sleep well and wake up without back pain. When people come in looking to replicate it, I find they usually want something slightly softer than the commercial version. A medium or medium-firm pocketed coil with a Euro-top hits the right balance, and the Restonic ComfortCare is an excellent starting point."

What mattress does DoubleTree by Hilton Ottawa use?
DoubleTree by Hilton Ottawa uses the Serta Suite Dreams mattress, a commercial-grade innerspring model supplied exclusively to Hilton brands through Serta's hospitality division. It is not available at retail. The mattress is paired with DoubleTree's Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience bedding components including a heavier duvet, multiple pillow options, and white cotton-blend linens.
What is Hilton's Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience?
The Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience is Hilton's branded sleep programme, implemented across all Hilton-family hotels with specifications that vary by brand tier. At the DoubleTree level, it includes the Serta Suite Dreams mattress, a down or down-alternative duvet, a pillow menu with multiple options, white cotton-blend sheets, a quilted mattress pad, and blackout curtains. DoubleTree's specification is more elevated than Hampton Inn or Hilton Garden Inn.
Is DoubleTree by Hilton Ottawa a good hotel for sleep?
Yes. DoubleTree Ottawa's Serta Suite Dreams mattress combined with the Sweet Dreams Sleep Experience bedding provides a consistent, comfortable sleep surface that accommodates a wide range of sleeper types. Guests who prefer firm support typically rate it highly. Side sleepers may find the surface firmer than ideal; adding a mattress topper at home can replicate a softer version of the hotel experience.
How do I get DoubleTree-quality sleep at home?
Choose a medium-firm innerspring or pocketed coil mattress, add a quilted mattress pad, and pair with a down or down-alternative duvet and white cotton sheets. Mattress Miracle in Brantford carries Restonic and Sleep In models that replicate this sleep system. Ottawa-area customers can order online at mattressmiracle.ca or call (519) 770-0001.
Where can I buy a futon in Ottawa?
Futons are available in Ottawa at IKEA Nepean, Wayfair (online delivery), Ashley HomeStore, and local furniture retailers. Futon frames range from simple metal to solid wood, and mattresses are typically 6 to 8 inches thick in cotton or foam fill. If you need a futon for daily sleeping, choose a 6-inch or thicker cotton-wrapped foam mattress for adequate support.
