The 10 Best Queen Mattresses in Australia

A queen mattress is a 153cm x 203cm sleeping surface, the most widely sold double-occupancy size in Australian bedrooms and the standard fit for a queen bed frame. Because every queen shares those exact dimensions, comparisons of the best queen mattresses australia sells turn on internal construction rather than footprint.

Queens are built four ways. Pocket spring models use individually wrapped coils that compress independently, which keeps one sleeper’s movement from travelling across the bed. Memory foam models contain no springs and contour closely to the body, holding more heat unless gel or graphene is worked into the foam. Hybrid models layer foam or latex over a spring core to get contouring and airflow in the same bed. Latex models rely on a naturally open cell structure that breathes and resists dust mites without an added treatment.

Because the footprint is fixed at 153cm x 203cm (60 inches x 80 inches), profile height is the dimension that genuinely varies, spanning 17 to 37 centimetres across the models below. Each pick was assessed on construction type, stated firmness, edge support, warranty term and trial length, since a mattress that cannot be sent back after a fortnight of poor sleep is a weak buy at any specification.

This guide compares pocket spring, memory foam, hybrid and latex queens across firm, medium and plush feels, from a 17-centimetre bunk-height slab to a 37-centimetre four-way adjustable build. Anyone who specifically wants a compressed, boxed delivery will find the mattress in a box guide narrows to that format.

1. Giselle VIVE 4-in-1 Adjustable Mattress – Best for Couples

Four separate feels are built into this single 37-centimetre bed. The comfort layer is dual-zone and flippable, so each half of the mattress can be set independently, and a reversible transition layer underneath switches the whole surface between bouncy, cooling, cozy and firm settings.

In practice that means a couple who disagree on firmness stop compromising. One side can run at the firmer 7.5 rating while the other sits at 7.0, and either partner can reverse their own half without disturbing the other’s. The zipped cover comes away for washing, which matters more on a bed that gets unzipped and rearranged regularly.

The trade-off is bulk. At 37 centimetres this is the deepest model here, heavy enough that flipping the internal layers is a two-person job, and deep-fitted sheets are essentially compulsory. Couples who have already returned one mattress over a firmness argument will get more out of it than a single sleeper who settled on a feel years ago.

Pros

• Each side of the bed sets its own firmness independently
• Four distinct feels from one mattress, changed by flipping layers
• Removable zipped cover is machine washable
• Deepest profile here at 37 centimetres

Cons

• Too heavy to reconfigure alone
• Requires deep-fitted sheets
• Five-year warranty is shorter than several cheaper picks

Key specs: Hybrid, 37cm profile, firmness 7.0 and 7.5 dual-zone, four reversible feel settings, zipped washable cover, 5-year warranty.

2. Newentor Hybrid Mattress Pro – Best for Pressure Relief

This build runs four different spring types in one core, including 1mm micro-coils that bridge the gap between the pocket springs and the memory foam above them. Total spring count passes 3,000, arranged into a seven-zone layout that shifts hardness along the length of the bed.

Those zones are not cosmetic. The head section is firm, the shoulder zone deliberately soft, and the waist and thigh sections run extra-firm, which holds the lumbar curve without letting the shoulders sink. Foams are CertiPUR-US certified and the cover carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100, so the materials claims are third-party checked rather than self-declared.

Backing it is the strongest combination of terms in this guide: a ten-year warranty alongside a 120-night trial. Sleepers who wake with a stiff lower back rather than sore hips are the clearest match, and the trial length gives enough runway to tell the difference.

Pros

• Over 3,000 springs across four coil types
• Seven-zone layout runs four hardness levels head to feet
• CertiPUR-US foams and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 cover
• Ten-year warranty with a 120-night trial

Cons

• Medium-firm is the only feel offered
• Sits at the premium end of this guide
• 28-centimetre profile is mid-range rather than plush

Key specs: Hybrid, 28cm profile, medium-firm, 3,000-plus springs in four coil types, seven-zone support, CertiPUR-US foam, OEKO-TEX cover, 10-year warranty, 120-night trial.

3. RoomSense Tencel Cooling Hybrid Mattress – Best Cooling

Tencel fabric forms the sleeping surface here, sitting over two separate gel memory foam layers. Beneath them a five-zone pocket spring unit is fully encased in foam, which squares off the perimeter and stops the springs pressing into the side panels.

The cooling comes from two directions at once. Tencel is a wood-pulp fibre that moves moisture off the skin faster than cotton, while the gel in the foam absorbs and spreads heat instead of storing it. Together they address the usual complaint about thick memory foam beds, which is that the contouring layer is also the layer that traps warmth.

Its weak point is paperwork rather than construction: the warranty runs a single year, against five and ten years elsewhere in this lineup. Anyone sleeping hot in a Queensland or Western Australian summer will feel the benefit immediately, though a buyer who weighs long-term cover heavily should compare it against the ten-year options above.

Pros

• Tencel surface wicks moisture faster than cotton
• Two gel memory foam layers disperse heat
• Five-zone springs fully encased in foam
• CertiPUR-US verified foams, roll-packed for delivery

Cons

• One-year warranty is the shortest here
• Medium-firm only, with no firmness choice
• 34-centimetre depth needs deep sheets

Key specs: Hybrid, 34cm profile, medium-firm, Tencel cover, dual gel memory foam, five-zone encased pocket springs, CertiPUR-US foam, 1-year warranty.

4. Levitex Aether Extra Firm Mattress – Best Extra Firm

Two rows of hardened springs run the full perimeter of this mattress, which is a genuinely different approach to edge support than the single reinforced row most builds use. Inside, 27 centimetres of high-compress independent coils sit in a seven-zone arrangement under a 3-centimetre egg-crate foam layer cut for airflow.

Rated 8.0 on its maker’s scale, it is the firmest bed in this guide and behaves like it. There is very little sink at the hips, the surface stays flat when someone sits on the side to put shoes on, and rolling toward the edge does not produce the slide that thinner-bordered mattresses give.

Firmness this pronounced is polarising. Side sleepers will likely find the shoulder pressure too much, since there is not enough give to let the joint drop in. It suits back and stomach sleepers, heavier sleepers who bottom out softer beds, and anyone who has been told to sleep on a firm surface.

Pros

• Dual-row hardened perimeter springs resist roll-off
• 27cm of high-compress seven-zone coils
• Egg-crate foam layer adds airflow
• Five-year warranty

Cons

• Too firm for most side sleepers
• No softer version in the range
• Egg-crate foam is the only comfort layer

Key specs: Pocket spring, 33cm profile, 8.0 extra firm, dual-row edge support, 27cm high-compress coils, seven-zone layout, 3cm egg-crate foam, breathable knit cover, 5-year warranty.

5. Giselle Mona Cool Gel Memory Foam Mattress – Best Memory Foam

Springs are absent entirely from this one. Three foam layers do all the work: a cool gel top, an egg-shaped middle layer cut for ventilation, and a high-density base that carries the load.

Without a coil unit there is nothing to transmit movement, so partner disturbance drops to close to nothing. The egg-shaped middle layer is what keeps it from sleeping as warm as older all-foam beds, since the moulded profile leaves open channels for air rather than presenting a solid slab. Foams are CertiPUR-US certified, and the cover unzips for washing over an anti-slip base.

At 21 centimetres it is one of the slimmer beds here, and all-foam construction gives a slower, sink-in response that not everyone likes. Anyone shifting off a spring mattress because a partner’s movement keeps waking them is the obvious candidate.

Pros

• Springless build means almost no partner disturbance
• Egg-shaped middle layer opens airflow channels
• CertiPUR-US certified foams
• Zipped removable cover and anti-slip base

Cons

• Slower sink-in response than a spring bed
• 21-centimetre profile is slim for a queen
• Three-year warranty

Key specs: Memory foam, 21cm profile, medium-firm, cool gel top layer, ventilated egg-shaped middle, high-density base, CertiPUR-US foam, zipped cover, 3-year warranty.

6. Boutique Deluxe Plus Mattress – Best for Side Sleepers

A medium-plush feel makes this the softest bed in the guide, and the only one that sits below medium-firm. SGS-certified natural latex and gel-infused memory foam stack over a twice-tempered seven-zone pocket coil unit, with a reinforced foam perimeter around the edge.

Plush does not mean unsupported here. The latex layer springs back rather than compressing flat, so shoulders and hips drop into the surface while the coil unit still holds the spine in line. That combination is what side sleepers usually want and rarely get, since most soft mattresses achieve softness by simply adding more foam.

Anyone who sleeps on their front should look at the firmer picks instead, because this much give at the hips will arch the lower back. Where it earns its place is the terms attached: a 15-year warranty and a 120-night comfort guarantee, the longest cover of any model listed.

Pros

• Only medium-plush option here, built for side sleepers
• SGS-certified natural latex over gel memory foam
• Twice-tempered seven-zone pocket coils
• 15-year warranty with a 120-night comfort guarantee

Cons

• Too soft for front sleepers
• Profile height is not published
• Return freight is paid by the buyer

Key specs: Hybrid, medium-plush, SGS-certified natural latex and gel memory foam over twice-tempered seven-zone pocket coils, reinforced foam perimeter, CertiPUR-US foams, 15-year warranty, 120-night comfort guarantee.

7. Grandeur Latex Mattress – Best Natural Latex

Natural latex, SGS-certified, forms the comfort layer over a seven-zone pocket coil base. Latex is the one material in this guide that breathes and repels dust mites through its own cell structure rather than through an applied treatment or an infused additive.

That distinction matters over years rather than weeks. Gel infusions and antimicrobial sprays fade with washing and use, while latex keeps its open-cell structure for the life of the mattress. The material is also naturally hypoallergenic, which is the practical reason it gets recommended to allergy sufferers ahead of treated foams.

Latex carries a firmer, more buoyant response than memory foam, pushing back where foam would slowly yield, and it is heavier to move. Set against a treated-foam bed at a similar depth, it is the pick for an allergy sufferer or a hot sleeper who wants the property built into the material and a 15-year warranty behind it.

Pros

• Genuine SGS-certified natural latex comfort layer
• Naturally anti-dust-mite and hypoallergenic, no added treatment
• Seven-zone pocket coil base
• 15-year warranty with a 120-night comfort guarantee

Cons

• Buoyant latex response feels firmer than memory foam
• Heavier than a comparable foam bed
• Profile height is not published

Key specs: Latex, natural SGS-certified latex comfort layer over seven-zone pocket coils, hypoallergenic and dust-mite resistant, free delivery Australia-wide, 15-year warranty, 120-night comfort guarantee.

8. Retreat Mattress – Best Low Profile

At 17 centimetres this is the slimmest bed listed, and the height is the point. Bunk beds, trundles and frames with low side rails or a fixed safety lip cannot take a 30-centimetre mattress without compromising the rail height, and this profile clears that problem.

A Concave-Coil unit provides the support, holding a firm to super-firm feel with more airflow through the core than a foam slab of the same thickness manages. Firm is the sensible choice at this depth, because a slim mattress with a soft comfort layer runs out of material to compress before the sleeper stops sinking.

Nobody should buy this as a primary bed for two adults: 17 centimetres of coil does not offer the pressure relief a main mattress needs. For a guest room, a teenager’s bunk or student accommodation, it carries the same 15-year warranty and 120-night guarantee as the premium models above it.

Pros

• 17-centimetre profile fits bunks, trundles and low frames
• Concave-Coil unit gives good core airflow
• Firm support suits a slim build
• 15-year warranty with a 120-night comfort guarantee

Cons

• Too slim for two adults full-time
• Firm to super-firm only
• Limited pressure relief at the shoulders

Key specs: Pocket spring, 17cm profile, firm to super-firm, Concave-Coil support system, HD foam, boxed delivery, 15-year warranty, 120-night comfort guarantee.

9. Macoda Mattress – Best Adjustable Firmness

The cover on this one unzips so the internal foam inserts can be flipped, moving the bed between soft, medium and firm in a few minutes. Underneath sits graphene-infused memory foam over five-zone pocket springs, with a border of extra-firm springs and perimeter foam reinforcing the edge.

Graphene is the notable inclusion. It conducts heat away from the body faster than gel does, and the cover is finished to feel cool on contact, so the bed reads cooler in the first few minutes as well as through the night. Adjusting firmness without shipping anything back is the practical advantage: a buyer who guesses wrong reconfigures rather than returns.

Three firmness settings in one bed will not match a purpose-built firm mattress at the extremes, so someone certain they want maximum firmness is better served by a dedicated firm model. For a buyer who genuinely does not know which feel suits them, a 100-night trial plus in-bed adjustment is a more forgiving path than a single fixed rating.

Pros

• Unzip-and-flip switches between soft, medium and firm
• Graphene-infused foam moves heat faster than gel
• Cool-touch cover and reinforced spring border
• Ten-year warranty with a 100-night trial

Cons

• Adjustable settings do not reach a dedicated firm bed’s extremes
• Reconfiguring means unzipping the cover
• Single model, so no alternative build in the range

Key specs: Hybrid, 31cm profile, adjustable soft, medium and firm, graphene-infused memory foam, five-zone pocket springs, cool-touch cover, reinforced edge, CertiPUR-US foams, 10-year warranty, 100-night trial.

10. Zinus Support Plus Mattress – Best Mattress in a Box

Three measured layers make up this 30-centimetre build: 19 centimetres of iCoil pocket springs, 5 centimetres of soft comfort foam and 6 centimetres of high-density base foam, finished with a quilted euro top. Published layer depths are rare at this end of the market, where most listings state total height and stop.

The euro top is stitched flush to the edge rather than sitting on the surface as a separate pad, which keeps the perimeter usable. Pocket springs handle motion isolation, and the foams are CertiPUR-US certified. It ships compressed and reaches full shape within 72 hours, so it needs a few days before the feel can fairly be judged.

Against the ten-year and 15-year warranties earlier in this guide, five years is modest, and medium is the only feel available. It remains the pick for a buyer who wants a recognised brand and a boxed delivery without paying premium-tier money for it.

Pros

• Layer depths published individually, not just total height
• Quilted euro top stitched flush for usable edges
• iCoil pocket springs isolate movement
• CertiPUR-US certified foams

Cons

• Five-year warranty
• Medium feel only
• Needs 72 hours to reach full shape

Key specs: Hybrid, 30cm profile, medium, 19cm iCoil pocket springs, 5cm comfort foam, 6cm high-density base foam, quilted euro top, CertiPUR-US certified, boxed and expands within 72 hours, 5-year warranty.

How to Choose a Queen Mattress

Start with the frame, not the mattress. Every Australian queen is 153cm x 203cm, so the surface will fit any queen frame. Profile height is the variable that catches people out: a bunk, a trundle or a frame with a fixed safety rail needs a slim build, while a deep 34 to 37-centimetre mattress requires deep-fitted sheets that standard sets do not supply.

Match construction to the problem you are solving. Pocket springs limit movement transfer across the bed. All-foam builds remove it almost entirely but sleep warmer and respond more slowly. Hybrids aim at both, and latex breathes through its own structure rather than an additive. If spinal support rather than temperature is the issue, a dedicated mattress for back pain comparison narrows the field faster than firmness ratings alone.

Treat firmness numbers as a maker’s scale, not an industry standard. An 8.0 from one brand is not an 8.0 from another, and published fields are sometimes wrong: several ranges label a plush model as firm in their own spec sheets. Sleeping position is the more reliable guide. Side sleepers need enough give for the shoulder to drop in, back and front sleepers need the hips held up.

Check the edge, because it decides how much of the bed you can use. A reinforced perimeter, whether a firmer row of springs or a foam encasement, keeps the surface flat to the border. Without it the outer 10 centimetres or so compress under weight, which shrinks a queen for two people and makes sitting on the side to dress feel unstable.

Read the trial and the warranty as one figure. Terms across this guide range from a single year of cover with no trial to 15 years with 120 nights to change your mind. A trial is the only mechanism that lets a buyer test a mattress properly, since a fortnight is rarely long enough to adapt to a new surface. Check who pays return freight, because that cost is commonly the buyer’s.

Allow for settling time on a boxed mattress. Compressed models need roughly 72 hours to reach full shape, and they can feel firmer and smell faintly of new foam for the first few nights. Judging the feel on night one is the most common reason a boxed bed gets returned early. If a compressed layer over an existing bed would solve the problem more cheaply, a memory foam mattress comparison covers that ground.

Frequently Asked Questions

Verdict

Couples who cannot agree on firmness have the clearest case here, and the Giselle VIVE 4-in-1 Adjustable Mattress answers it directly by letting each half of the bed be set and reversed independently. Sleepers whose complaint is a stiff lower back rather than a shared bed will get more from the Newentor Hybrid Mattress Pro, whose seven-zone core runs four hardness levels along its length and carries a ten-year warranty with a 120-night trial. For a slim build destined for a bunk or a guest room, the Retreat Mattress covers that need at 17 centimetres with the same 15-year warranty as the premium models beside it.
