About Douglas
Douglas is a Canadian mattress brand based in Vancouver, BC. They are part of the GoodMorning.com family, which also operates Novosbed, Logan and Cove, Brunswick, and Recore. The parent company has been selling mattresses online in Canada since 2009.
Douglas started as a mattress-only brand but expanded into adjustable beds, platform frames, pillows, and bedding accessories. Their business model is direct-to-consumer (online only), which lets them offer lower prices by cutting out retail store overhead. The trade-off, of course, is that you cannot try the product before buying.
Their adjustable bed has earned strong reviews from Canadian mattress review sites, with a 4.8-star average from over 1,600 customer reviews. They won MattressReviews.ca's Best Adjustable Bed award for 2025.

What We Like
Price point: At $1,299 for a queen, the Douglas undercuts most retail adjustable bases with comparable features. A Tempur-Pedic Ease 4.0 at Sleep Country starts around $1,800 and lacks massage. The Douglas includes massage, USB ports, and a wireless remote at a lower price.
120-night trial: This is genuinely useful for an adjustable bed. You need several weeks of sleeping on an adjustable base to know if you will use the head and foot elevation regularly. Some people love it, others find they sleep flat 95% of the time. A 120-night trial lets you find out without financial risk.
Tool-free assembly: Douglas designed the base to snap together without tools in about 15 minutes. For an item that weighs 80 to 100 lbs, easy assembly matters.
Canadian company: Designed in Vancouver, with Canadian customer service and warranty support. Returns and exchanges are handled domestically, which simplifies the process compared to brands shipping from the US or overseas.
Who Actually Uses the Adjustable Features?
Douglas reports that their most-used feature is head elevation for reading and watching television, followed by zero-gravity positioning for back pain relief. Industry data from the International Sleep Products Association shows that approximately 60% of adjustable bed owners use the elevation features at least three times per week, while 25% use them daily. If you think you will only use the elevation occasionally, a standard platform frame at $200 to $400 may be the more practical choice.
Concerns and Trade-Offs
You cannot try it first: This is the fundamental trade-off with any online-only product. An adjustable bed is something you should ideally test before committing. How does it feel when the head is raised? Is the motor quiet enough? Do you actually like sleeping at an angle? The 120-night trial mitigates this, but you still have to deal with the return process if it does not work out.
Massage is basic: The massage feature is vibration-based, not a deep tissue experience. Think of it as a gentle buzz, similar to a cell phone vibrating. Many customers enjoy it for falling asleep but do not use it for therapeutic purposes. If massage is a priority, a dedicated mattress pad with massage may serve you better.
No wall-hugging design: When the head elevates, the mattress moves away from the headboard. Some premium bases (typically $2,000+) have a "wall-hugging" feature that slides the mattress back toward the headboard as it rises. The Douglas does not include this, so your nightstand and headboard will be farther away when the head is raised.
Weight capacity: Douglas does not prominently list the weight capacity on their site, which is a minor concern. Based on comparable bases, it is likely in the 700 to 800 lb range (including mattress). If the combined weight of two sleepers plus mattress approaches this limit, ask Douglas directly before ordering.
Return logistics: If you return within the 120-night trial, Douglas coordinates pickup, but you need to have the base disassembled and ready. Adjustable bases are bulky and heavy, so the return process is more involved than returning a mattress-in-a-box.
Brad, Senior Consultant at Mattress Miracle: "Online adjustable beds have gotten a lot better in the last few years. Douglas is a solid option if you know you want an adjustable base and are comfortable buying online. But I always tell customers: if you have never slept on an adjustable bed before, come try one in a store first. Even if you end up buying online, testing in person helps you know what to expect."

Who Is This Bed For?
Good Fit
- Budget-conscious buyers who want an adjustable base with features (massage, USB) at a lower price than retail stores
- Canadians comfortable buying online who value the 120-night trial over in-store testing
- People who have tried adjustable beds elsewhere and know they want one, but want a better price
- Couples looking for split king on a budget ($1,898 for two bases is competitive)
Not Ideal For
- First-time adjustable bed buyers who have never tested one in person

- Anyone who wants wall-hugging design or app control (not included)
- People who dislike online returns for large items
Online vs. In-Store: The Real Decision
The Douglas adjustable bed is a good product at a fair price. But the bigger question is whether you should buy an adjustable bed online or in a store.
Online buying saves money. The direct-to-consumer model cuts 20 to 40% from the retail price. Generous trial periods reduce the risk. If the product works for you, you got a great deal.
In-store buying gives you certainty. You lie on the bed, push the buttons, hear the motor, and know exactly what you are getting before you spend the money. No returns to coordinate, no surprises.
Our honest recommendation: if you have never used an adjustable bed, visit a store first. Try one. See if you actually like sleeping with your head elevated. Then decide where to buy based on price and value. If you already know you want an adjustable base and are shopping on price, the Douglas is a strong online option.
