I Tested A Foam Mattress And Adjustable Bed Frame From A Canadian Company, And It's Changed The Way I Sleep
love sleeping, and I love my bed. To be honest with you, I probably spend more time in my bed than the average person. Between reading entire books in one sitting and binge-watching my favourite shows, it's my most-used piece of furniture, so it needs to be comfortable. In my thirties, I have also developed lower back pain that can probably be attributed to a couple of different things, but the position I sleep in is probably the biggest culprit. I sleep in a 'mountain climber' position, which I have been told is the worst for your body. While I often wake up with a sore back or a kink in my neck, it's the only position I'm comfortable enough to fall asleep in. When I had the opportunity to try a new Canadian-made Douglas mattress and adjustable bed frame from GoodMorning, I jumped at the chance. I thought the innovative design might help alleviate some pain, so I traded in my old standard bed frame, and within the first five minutes of lying on it, I knew it was going to be a total game changer. My review of the setup process: Both the Douglas mattress and adjustable bed frame were shipped to me in pretty compact boxes, considering what was inside them. I was able to set up the bed frame with the help of one other person (you won't be able to safely do this part on your own, so grab a partner to help you). The mattress came rolled in a box, and it was easy for me to set up on top of my bed frame on my own with a bit of muscle. Within minutes, it was puffed up, and after about an hour, it was ready to lie on. The main difference between this adjustable bed frame and a regular bed frame is that it needs to be plugged into a wall, and all of the wires have to be connected in the right spots. The USB ports on each side are connected to the main power source, so it's been nice to plug my phone into and not have to look at a power bar on the floor like I used to. It also came with adjustable legs, allowing me to choose whether I wanted the bed to be three, six, or nine inches off the ground. I went with nine since I use the space under my bed for extra storage, and I was still able to fit everything I wanted under there without it interfering with any of the motors or wires. My review of the adjustable bed frame and mattress: This combo was just as magical as I imagined it would be. The adjustable base was awarded Product of the Year Canada in 2022, and after my first full-night sleep on it, I knew exactly why. When it's time to sleep, I like to make sure the bottom of the bed is completely flat while I keep the top section on a bit of an incline since it helps with my back. The zero-gravity mode also helps alleviate discomfort, so it's my go-to position when I'm reading or watching TV. Since it keeps your head and feet elevated above your heart, it's great for promoting good circulation, easing pressure on your joints, and aiding in digestion. I love that you can completely customize how high or low the head and feet are so that you can be comfortable in any position. As for the mattress, when I first lay on it, I noticed how soft and cushy the top layer of foam was, but I still felt supported whenever I moved positions. Even with sheets and blankets on the bed, I can feel the cooling effect (it's made with cooling gel foam for a cooler sleep). Because it's made of foam, it bends and moves effortlessly with the adjustable bed frame while still retaining all of its comfort and support. Other sleeping options for this setup: I'm a solo sleeper, so I chose the Queen size, but if you share your bed with a partner, they offer both the mattress and the adjustable base in a Standard King or a Split King (two Twins pushed together). The Split King comes with two wireless remotes that'll allow you to set your head and legs at any height, separate from your partner, so you can both sleep comfortably. You also have the option to sync your remotes if you want to sit up or lie down together. If you're not a fan of foam mattresses, GoodMorning recommends the Logan & Cove Hybrid Mattress. It combines cushy memory foam with zoned pocket coils for a slightly more structured sleep. It'll give you enhanced back support and stay cool throughout the night. Just like the Douglas Original Mattress, its flexible design works with an adjustable bed frame without compromising its structure. It's also Canadian-made, has a 365-night sleep trial and comes with a 15-year warranty. For those who want a hybrid mattress option, it's easily the best hybrid mattress for adjustable bed setups. What are other reviewers saying? The Douglas original mattress has an impressive 4.7-star average rating from over 20,000 reviews. Customers love how soft it is while still being supportive, and some have even said it's helped relieve their back and hip pain they had been dealing with for years. Others have bought multiple for spare bedrooms and family members. The Douglas Adjustable Bed Frame has a 4.8-star average rating from over 1,600 reviews. Many say their sleep has instantly improved and praise it for its simple installation. Customers rave about it, claiming it's helped with joint pain, obnoxious snoring, swelling, and even acid reflux since sleeping on it, which, in my opinion, is all gravy on top of a good night's sleep. Here are some other products from GoodMorning you should consider for your bedroom: Disclaimer: The prices displayed are accurate at the time of publication.
