Firmness Info
A Single, Fine-Tuned Firmness. Douglas is a medium-firm mattress with a plush, supporting feel and pressure point relief for all sleeping positions.
The 3-inch Purple Grid™ layer is optimal for sleep position changers. Perfect balance of soft and firm for couples with mixed mattress-feel preferences who share the same bed.
Petite customers (115-pounds or less) tend to prefer The Purple Premier, as their pressure points are better cradled due to a thicker Purple Grid. Similarly, customers who weigh 250-pounds or more have expressed a common interest in The Purple Premier, as it offers a bit more support.
When we designed the Casper Element, we knew we had to deliver lasting comfort at an unbeatable price. It borrows elements from our signature mattress to promise coolness and support in a more cost-efficient design.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
Douglas mattresses are made with Canadian-built foams and fabrics. Three layers of high-quality foam:
  • The top 2" comfort layer is made of ecoLight™ cooling gel foam
  • The middle 2" layer is made of Elastex™ foam
  • The bottom 6" support foam isolates movement and provides better edge support
  • The washable cover is made from an eco-friendly Natural Eucalyptus Fabric™.
The Purple Premier 3 is made with ultra-high-quality materials engineered for the perfect synergy of durability, luxury, and No Pressure Support:
  • 3" Hyper-Elastic Polymer™ material in Puple Grid™. Non-toxic polyethylene copolymer powder coating
  • 1" High-density cushioning foam help the transition between layers for optimal comfort
  • 7.5" Responsive Support Coils. The gauge of the coils are 13.75 and use 95% recycled steel.
We made an expensive mattress that's not expensive. The sweet spot between superior comfort and serious value. It's a premium mattress in a streamlined design. 2 layers of polyurethane foam:
  • Breathable AirScape™ Top Foam
  • Durable Support Foam.
Comfort Info
Douglas' CoolSense™ cover and ecoLight™ cooling gel foam layer absorb more heat with faster dissipation, giving you a cooler sleep.
Moisture-wicking CoolSense™ cover
Breathable ecoLight™ cooling gel foam
Fast infrared heat dissipation.
The Purple Grid™ has thousands of open air channels that feel cool as you lie doown and neutralize your body heat throughout the night so you sleep comfortably all night long.
Cooling helps keep you at the right temperature for your best rest. We also own the manufacturing process, so we can guarantee all Casper mattresses meet our high standards for comfort. Plus every mattress saves up to 9 recycled bottles from the environment.
Support Info
Best-in-class spinal alignment for side sleepers. Balanced support for back sleepers. Pressure-point relief for stomach sleepers.
The Perfect Bounce
Douglas' 3-layer design gives it a superior memory effect with just enough bounce for easy movement during the night.
Luxury ecoLight™ fast-response contouring memory foam
High bounce Elastex™ transition layer for spring and support
Even motion isolation support foam with enhanced edge support.
The hyper-elastic polymer gel Grid immediately flexes to support your position and springs back into place as you readjust or move.
The Purple Grid™ is designed to dynamically flex under pressure so it cradles pressure points like your hips and shoulders while still supporting the rest of your body.
A border using high density foam creates reinforced edge support.
The durable base is engineered to prevent sinking and sagging while supporting your whole body.
Comfort Specs
The comfort layer of Luxury ecoLight™ Cooling Gel Foam is made with a 50% smaller carbon footprint, ecoLight™ cooling gel foam is just as durable, responsive, and luxurious as high density memory foam, but won't retain heat or feel like quicksand.
Premium Elastex™ Foam
As durable, supportive, and responsive as natural Latex foam, Elastex™ is made without any of the harmful, allergy-causing chemicals found in many Latex mattresses.
Air circulates more easily through the interior coils, which perfectly complement the Grid's built-in air channels and temperature-neutral gel material.
A top layer of proprietary perforated breathable foam helps reduce heat, the tiny holes move hot air and body heat away. This innovative cooling system is designed to help keep you cool all night.
Support Specs
Motion Isolation Support Foam
Like millions of tiny pocket-coil springs, Douglas' support foam eliminates motion transfer between sleepers without sacrificing edge support.
Responsive Support Coils
Individually wrapped stainless steel coils pair with the Grid™ to offer dynamic pressure relief and support. Each coil is wrapped in responsibly sourced premium noise-reducing fabric.
The Purple Grid™ is a flexible gel material that instantly adapts to your body and sleep position, providing soft support where you want it and firm support where you need it. This material is organized in a grid formation, which creates walls that can support or fold, depending on how much pressure it receives. It's durable enough to last decades so you won't develop a body impression. And it buckles under specific pressure, which provides excellent motion isolation so you don't feel someone else move in the bed.
Premium AirScape™ foam conforms to your body to relieve pressure.
Fabric Specs
Douglas CoolSense™ Cover
A washable cover made with Natural Eucalyptus Fabric™. Inspired by the mountains of Western Canada, the CoolSense™ cover draws moisture away, leading to a cool, dry night.
StretchMax Cover
Boasting even more stretch, the soft top material allows you to feel the full benefits of the Purple Grid™, while ultra-breathable woven side panels encourage airflow.
