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.
Novosbed mattresses are available in 3 firmness levels, and all are covered by our Perfect Firmness Guarantee, 120 night sleep trial, and 15 year warranty. Soft: Designed for contouring and plushness without that "quicksand" feeling. Medium: Designed to offer the perfect balance of support and plush-comfort and Firm: Designed to provide firm, comfortable support, with minimal sink-in.
* Not quite right? Call Novosbed and they'll send you a Comfort+ kit for free. Unzip the mattress top cover and lay the Comfort+ layer on top. Zip the Comfort+ extender to the base and then to the top cover. Your Novosbed is softer or firmer, as needed. The whole process usually takes less than 2 minutes.

Mattress Construction

Comfort Info

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.
InterLock Blue™ Core Cover

Support Info

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.
2 to 3" Premium Memory Foam
Perfect comfort and pressure relief, this layer adds 3 luxurious inches of plush support memory foam to the heart of your Novosbed.
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.
2" Premium Airflow Gel Foam
A highly breathable gel memory foam for ultra-luxurious comfort with heat dissipation far superior to that of traditional memory foams.
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.
Like billions of tiny independent cushion pocket-coil springs, this premium support foam layer supports sleepers while eliminating motion transfer during the night.
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.
Ultra-soft, Moisture-wicking, Washable Cover
Made from eco-friendly Tencel® fabric, the luxurious Novosbed top cover draws moisture away from your body for a cool, dry night. It is also removable and machine-washable.
