Which Is Better: Bloom or Douglas?

Douglas Original is a combination foam mattress with cooling gel foam, a machine-washable cover, balanced support, a 365-night sleep trial, and a 20-year warranty.

It has a much longer warranty and sleep trial, with the option to return your mattress for a full refund. Douglas Original is also more affordably priced at just $799 for a queen size, compared to $1,199 for Bloom Cloud.

Overall Ratings

Edge support and motion isolation are factored into our overall mattress ratings. These scores are shown in green (scores of 5.0+), yellow (3.0–4.9), or red (2.9 and below). Firmness, bounce, and cooling features are a matter of personal preference and aren’t part of our rating system, so these scores are shown in grey.

Mattress Breakdown

Douglas Original features impressive edge support, superior motion isolation, a 365-night sleep trial with free return pickup and full refund, and a 20-year warranty. Douglas also has an excellent online reputation for product quality and customer care. The company is rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot and “A+” on BBB. Douglas has earned over 16,300+ five-star reviews from verified customers.

Bloom Cloud has above-average motion isolation, but it doesn’t measure up to Douglas. Neither does Bloom’s warranty, which is only 10 years. Bloom also has a much shorter sleep trial of just 100 nights. Really, this is just an exchange period—you can only exchange your mattress with another one from Sleep Country. A $65 exchange fee applies and you have to transport the mattress back to the store yourself.

Bloom Cloud has fewer than 300 reviews on Sleep Country’s website. A more balanced assessment comes from reviews on sites like Trustpilot, where Sleep Country is rated “Poor” based on more than 1,200 reviews. Sleep Country’s Better Business Bureau profile is rated “A+” (unaccredited), with a customer review rating of 1.27/5 stars at the time of writing. Most consumer complaints cover issues like product quality and warranty claims.

Mattress Performance Results

Firmness

Both Bloom Cloud and Douglas Original are medium-firm mattresses. This level of firmness is ideal for all sleep styles.

The Bloom mattress has some “hug” when you lie down on it. You should feel a bit less sinkage under your hips and stomach, thanks to the reinforced synthetic latex foam in the centre third of the mattress. However, you may sleep hotter on Bloom Cloud, because your body will sink into the mattress and memory foam is known for trapping heat.

Douglas Original, on the other hand, gently contours around your body with minimal sinking and exceptional pressure-point relief. This makes it easy to change positions while you sleep. The lack of “hug” in Douglas’s layers—as well as the cooling cover and layer of cooling gel foam—should keep temperatures comfortable all night long.

Edge Support

Foam mattresses aren’t typically known for having high edge support. But Douglas Original sets a high bar with an impressive edge support rating of 7.8/10. You’ll be able to sit comfortably on the edge of the bed, and get out of bed more easily in the morning.

Bloom, on the other hand, scored a lower edge support rating of 5.7/10. You should be able to sit on the edge of the bed without sliding off. However, if you have mobility issues, like to sit on the edge of the bed, or find yourself sleeping near the edge of the mattress, Douglas is a better choice.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation helps you enjoy a good night’s sleep without being disturbed by a restless partner, kids, or pets. In comparing Douglas vs Bloom, Douglas Original has an exceptionally high motion isolation score of 8.3/10. You can expect to sleep soundly and not notice any movement from the other side of the mattress.

Bloom Cloud has an above-average motion isolation score of 6.8/10. This should help keep you from noticing much movement from the other side of the bed. Still, if you’re looking for exceptional motion isolation for the most undisturbed sleep, you should look at Douglas instead.

Bounce

Bounce is a matter of personal preference. Low bounce is a good thing if you’re a light sleeper who’s easily woken, while higher bounce is ideal if you often change sleep positions.

Both Bloom and Douglas scored below average for bounce. This is typical for all-foam mattresses. Bloom Cloud earned a bounce score of 3.3/10, while Douglas scored slightly lower at 3.1/10. Even with Douglas’s lower score, you’ll likely find it easier to change sleep positions and get out of bed with this mattress, thanks to the Elastex® transition layer that provides extra spring and support.

Cooling Feature Score

Douglas Original and Bloom Cloud both offer cooling features to help sleepers stay comfortable throughout the night. Bloom Cloud earned a cooling feature score of 4.4/10. This is due to its organic cotton cover with copper infusion, gel-infused foam, synthetic latex foam, and aerated foam layers.

The Douglas Original earned a slightly lower cooling feature score of 4.2/10. This is due to its moisture-wicking CoolSense® cover, layer of ecoLight® cooling gel foam, and layer of breathable Elastex® foam, all of which promote cooling and air circulation. With Douglas, you get similarly effective cooling features—all for hundreds of dollars less than the Bloom Cloud.

Mattress Construction

Both Douglas Original and and Bloom Cloud are combination foam mattresses with cooling gel foam. But while Bloom Cloud has cooling gel in 2 of its 3 memory foam layers, this may not be enough to cancel out the heat-trapping effects of memory foam. Bloom also doesn’t address potential overheating with any other cooling features.

With Douglas Original, there’s no need to worry about heat trapping. Douglas helps keep temperatures comfortable with a moisture-wicking mattress cover and a 2″ layer of cooling gel foam.

Douglas Mattress Layers

• Layer 1: The 2″ top layer of the Douglas mattress is made of ecoLight® cooling gel foam. It’s just as durable, comfortable, and body-contouring as memory foam, minus the late-night heat. It’s also more eco-conscious.
• Layer 2: The 2″ middle layer is made of Elastex® foam for extra spring and support. This foam is latex-free, making it a good option if you’re sensitive to latex.
• Layer 3: The 6″ bottom layer is made of motion isolation support foam. This means you’ll hardly feel a thing from the other side of the bed, even if your partner is tossing and turning all night long.

Bloom Mattress Layers

• Layer 1: The top layer is 1″ of aerated gel memory foam. This initial layer contours around your body, relieves pressure points, and allows for airflow while you sleep.
• Layer 2: This layer is 1″ of gel memory foam and synthetic latex foam, split into three sections to provide zoned support. The softer memory foam is at the head and foot of the mattress to support lighter areas of the body. In the centre, the firmer latex foam adds extra support for your lower back and hips.
• Layer 3: The transition layer is 1″ of memory foam. This provides extra contouring for your body and accounts for Bloom Cloud’s good motion isolation score. However, you may notice overheating due to the relatively high amount of memory foam in this mattress.
• Layer 4: The support layer is 7.5″ of support foam. This foundational layer prevents your body from sinking too deeply into the mattress.

Douglas Original’s cover design pays homage to the brand’s Canadian roots, with its red-and-white colour profile and mountainscape stitching. Made with moisture-wicking, plant-based Infinitex™ fibres, the CoolSense® top cover features a stretch knit fabric that’s soft, breathable, and durable to help you sleep cool all night long. Best of all, the cover is removable and machine-washable.

Bloom Cloud’s white top cover is machine washable. This organic cotton cover is also infused with copper, which the company claims will help the mattress stay fresh and odourless. The mattress interior contains a rayon fire sock to meet fire safety regulations—a requirement for mattresses made in the United States.

Keep temperatures comfortable with Douglas’s cooling features.

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns

Douglas ships by ground using FedEx. Your order is sent from Ontario or Alberta and is delivered to your door in 2–10 business days, including time taken to dispatch your order.

Bloom ships via Sleep Country Canada in major metro areas, arriving 3–10 business days after it’s been ordered. The company also uses UPS and FedEx for other areas, and Canada Post in remote areas where other couriers don’t deliver. Sleep Country doesn’t have stores in the Territories and Newfoundland/Labrador, so expect to pay an extra $120 delivery fee and wait 7–10 business days for your order to arrive.

Douglas gives you much more time to try your mattress with a 365-night sleep trial. If you choose to return your mattress, Douglas will pick up returns for free within the sleep trial period and issue a full refund. Just contact customer service to coordinate your return.

Bloom has a much shorter trial period—just 100 nights. There are no refunds, only exchanges for store credit (minus a $65 exchange fee). If you exchange Bloom for a more expensive mattress, you’ll need to pay the difference. And if you exchange Bloom for a cheaper mattress, you’ll need to find another way to spend your remaining store credit.

Bloom provides a 10-year mattress warranty. The Douglas warranty is twice as long at 20 years, so your purchase is protected for much longer.
