We take a 3" piece of high density hybrid foam optimized for our technology, cut out a 2.25" x 2.25" rectangular cylinder, and then encase it in a fabric pocket. We then attach the Cushion Pocket to a .078" high carbon steel pocketed coil spring to create our patented "Cushion Pocket Spring", better known as the "Tiny Mattress". Finally, we combine roughly 700 of these "Tiny Mattresses" to create a mattress that reacts independently to personal weight and size.
The ultimate mattress featuring premium, eco-friendly materials, the latest innovations in coil technology and uncompromising comfort. For those wanting to replicate the ultimate, five-star luxury hotel sleep experience.
  • Hand-Tufted Tencel Pillow-Top Cover
  • Cooling Gel Memory Foam
  • Bamboo Charcoal Latex
  • 3cm Micro Coils
  • Adaptive Transition Foam
  • 5-Zoned Individually Pocketed Springs with Perimeter Edge Support.
The Douglas Alpine mattress features a carefully selected combination of materials that prioritize comfort, durability, and environmental responsibility: * EcoLight Cooling Gel Foam: A proprietary foam that delivers superior cooling and pressure relief while using up to 40% less carbon input than traditional memory foam. * Premium Elastex Foam: A latex-like foam that is hypoallergenic and offers responsive support without the heat retention of traditional latex. * Motion-Isolation Support Foam: This dense foam layer reduces motion transfer, ensuring uninterrupted sleep for couples. * Machine-Washable Cover: The mattress is wrapped in a stretch-knit, breathable fabric cover made from sustainable materials for added convenience and longevity. These materials are not only high-performing but also eco-conscious, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable products.

Knitted with advanced 2-way stretch, InterLock Blue™ adds a second layer of protection for the foam core, and a second layer of moisture guard for added coolness and comfort.
Ultra breathable cover and hybrid design increase airflow to keep the mattress cooler. No more sweaty nights.
The cover's miniature cushion pads provide an added level of comfort and the engineered air channels promote airflow, to maximize the "tiny mattress" technology.

The new Helix Plus has higher density foams to match heavier sleepers and provide increased durability. The coil unit has best in-class edge support, so plus size sleepers never feel like they're falling off the mattress. An extra layer of high density, 4 pound foam is included in one of the three foam layers to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs.
