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.
The Emma Original mattress is considered a medium-firm mattress. Rated a 5/10 on the firmness scale. It contours your body perfectly alleviating pressure points, as well as distributing your weight evenly. It adapts perfectly to your body shape while your spine stays aligned regardless of whether you are a side sleeper, back sleeper, or stomach sleeper.
The Tuft & Needle Original mattress is medium-firm in feel. It was designed to be universally comfortable and moderately firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. If the mattress isn't meeting your expectations, simply reach out to Tuft & Needle to initiate a hassle-free return.

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.
The Emma Original Mattress has three foam layers plus a reinforced perimeter, the layers are:
  • Point Elastic AIRGOCELL® Memory Foam
  • HALO® Memory Foam
  • Emma HRX Supreme® Foam.
The Tuft & Needle Original is a 2-layer mattress:
  • 3" T&N Adaptive foam
  • 6.5" polyurethane base 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.
The team of sleep experts have designed the Emma mattress to allow for good airflow and top notch moisture regulation so you stay cool and sweat-free while you sleep.
The heat-wicking graphite and cooling gel in the T&N Adaptive® foam work together to help keep you cool while you sleep. This mattress is designed to pull your body heat away while remaining cozy and comfy.
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.
A reinforced perimeter that not only helps prevent restless and active sleepers from falling off at night, but also helps all sleepers easily sit up in the morning.
T&N Adaptive® foam, which is unique to Tuft & Needle, provides great pressure relief and support and is comfortable for all sleep styles.
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.
The top layer of groundbreaking AIRGOCELL® memory foam enhances breathability by absorbing and dissipating body heat so you keep your cool all night long. HALO® Memory Foam limits motion transfer so you won't notice your sleeping partners' movements.
The addition of heat-absorbing graphite is designed to conduct heat through the bed, away from you.
Cooling gel beads help wick away heat. When you lay down, the cooling beads create additional support for optimal comfort.
Long-lasting, open-cell foam creates a breathable foundation.
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.
HALO® Memory Foam is both ergonomic and motion isolating. The 3 zones are designed to provide both spinal alignment and the pressure-relieving support for individual body zones, which include the shoulders, back, and hips. The High Resiliency Extra (HRX) foam layer is engineered to last for years, holding firm and preventing sag. Five adaptive cut-outs and over 100 supportive points distribute your body weight evenly to reduce pressure on your body so that you get support where you need it most.
T&N Adaptive® Foam was invented by T&N alongside top American chemists, this foam is durable, breathable, and the perfect balance of flexible support. Engineered based on customer feedback, it provides pressure relief where you need it most.
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.
Emma UltraDry ® Original Cover
A temperature-regulating breathable cover made from 99% polyester and 1% elastane. The plush cover is moisture-wicking, easy to remove, and washable. The side fabric is 100% polyester and the bottom fabric is 87% polyester and 13% polypropylene.
The Tuft & Needle mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a soft and plush feel. Micro polyamide is breathable and durable. It keeps you cool and dries up to 8 times faster than cotton. The mattress cover is resistant to pilling and tearing. The Original mattress cover is not waterproof or removable/washable, so if there are any concerns, we'd recommend using a mattress protector.
