The 10 Best Mattresses in Australia

The best mattresses in Australia are the ones whose support core matches the sleeper’s weight and usual sleeping position, because the comfort layer only decides how a bed feels for the first few minutes, while the core decides whether the spine stays level until morning. Almost everything else on a specification sheet sits downstream of that single relationship.

Australian retailers sell five main constructions. Pocket spring beds use individually bagged coils that compress on their own, memory foam uses viscoelastic layers that soften under body heat, hybrid beds put foam or latex comfort layers over a spring core, latex gives a springier surface that resists heat build-up, and bonnell spring is the older open-coil design still sold at the entry end of the market.

Depth is the quickest way to read where a mattress sits in the market. The beds in this guide that publish a height run from 25 cm to 34 cm, or roughly 10 to 13 inches, and the extra depth almost always buys a taller comfort layer rather than a stronger core. Four specifications separate a bed that holds its shape for a decade from one that dips inside two years: zoning, edge support, trial length and warranty term.

This guide compares ten mattresses sold in Australia on support core, firmness, cooling, trial length and warranty. It spans spring, foam, latex and hybrid builds rather than the single construction covered in the memory foam mattress comparison, so the shortlist stays useful to sleepers who have not settled on a material yet.

1. Newentor Hybrid Mattress Pro – Best for Hot Sleepers

Six functional layers sit between the cover and the anti-slip base on this one, and three of them exist only to move heat. A bamboo charcoal surface handles the first contact, a gel-visco layer sits under it, and a phase-change layer below that absorbs warmth as the surface temperature climbs rather than releasing it back into the sleeper.

Underneath, the support is genuinely unusual for a boxed bed. A layer of 1.0 mm micro-coils sits above a seven-zone core wound from three separate wire gauges, so the shoulder, lumbar and leg sections resist at different rates instead of the single gauge most spring cores use. Total spring count runs past 3,000 once the micro-coil layer is counted.

Firmness is rated 4 out of 10, which puts it at the soft end and rules it out for anyone who wants a flat, resistant surface. Side sleepers and hot sleepers get the most from it. The smaller sizes were out of stock at the time of writing, so a single or king single buyer will need to look further down this list.

Pros

• Three separate cooling layers, including a phase-change material
• Seven-zone core built from three wire gauges
• Micro-coil layer above the main spring unit
• 120-night trial and a 10-year warranty
• OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified cover

Cons

• Soft at 4 out of 10, so back and stomach sleepers should look elsewhere
• Single, long single and king single sizes were unavailable
• Imported rather than built locally

Key specs: Hybrid, 28 cm, medium-soft 4/10, 7-zone core in 2.4 mm, 2.15 mm and 2.0 mm gauges, 1.0 mm micro-coil layer, phase-change thermal layer, OEKO-TEX Standard 100 cover, 120-night trial, 10-year warranty.

2. Giselle Bedding Euro Top Mattress – Best Budget Euro Top

The euro top is what pushes this bed to 31 cm. Unlike a pillow top, which is stitched on as a separate pad with a visible gusset, a euro top is flush with the edge of the mattress, so the padding runs right out to the perimeter instead of stopping short of it. That construction is the reason the sleeping surface feels usable closer to the sides.

Below the padding sit 768 pocket coils arranged in five zones, with high-density foam filling the space between the top and the coil unit. The cover is a knitted jacquard. Firmness is published at 6.5 out of 10, placing it just on the firm side of neutral, and the whole thing carries a five-year warranty.

Documentation is the weak point rather than the build. No foam density is published, and that single figure is the one that predicts whether a budget bed still holds its shape after a couple of years. Treated as a spare-room or first-home bed it does the job; as a primary mattress for a heavier sleeper it is a gamble.

Pros

• 768 pocket coils across five zones
• Euro top carries padding to the perimeter
• Deep 31 cm profile
• Five-year warranty at the budget end

Cons

• No foam density published anywhere
• No sleep trial offered
• Sold in queen only through this listing
• No fibreglass statement on the listing

Key specs: Pocket spring with euro top, 31 cm, medium-firm 6.5/10, 768 coils across 5 zones, knitted jacquard cover, 203 x 153 cm queen, 5-year warranty.

3. BedStory Latex Hybrid Mattress – Best Fibreglass-Free Build

Certification is the reason this one earns a place. It is stated fibreglass free, and it holds both CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX certification, which almost nothing else at this end of the market bothers to publish. Fibreglass fire barriers in cheap imported mattresses shed through the cover once it is unzipped, and most budget listings simply stay silent on the question.

Construction runs to four layers over a five-zone pocket coil unit, with the coils specified at 1.9 mm and 2.15 mm rather than left as a generic count. Latex sits in the comfort stack above them, topped with a euro top and a knit stretch polyester cover. Total depth is 34 cm, the tallest bed in this guide.

Sizes run single through king, but each one is sold as its own listing rather than as options on a single page, so the link above lands on the queen. Anyone after a different size has to navigate across instead of switching a dropdown. That is an irritation rather than a fault, and it is the only one worth naming against a specification sheet this clean at the budget end.

Pros

• Explicitly stated fibreglass free
• CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX certified
• Named coil gauges rather than a vague count
• Latex in the comfort stack at a budget level
• Deepest profile in this guide at 34 cm

Cons

• Every size is a separate listing rather than one page with options
• Five-year warranty trails the Australian-made options
• No sleep trial

Key specs: Latex hybrid, 34 cm, medium-firm, 5-zone pocket coils in 1.9 mm and 2.15 mm gauges, euro top, knit stretch polyester cover, fibreglass free, CertiPUR-US and OEKO-TEX certified, 5-year warranty.

4. Therapedic Exquisite Signature Mattress – Best Australian Made

Copper gel and graphene appear in the same comfort stack here, which is rare because the two materials do similar jobs. Copper conducts heat away from contact points, graphene spreads it laterally across the layer, and a thermal memory foam layer sits beneath both. The cover is a cooling fabric rather than a plain knit.

Support comes from a honeycomb-zoned micro barrel coil system, with a reinforced box around the perimeter so the edge does not collapse when someone sits to put shoes on. The comfort geometry was developed with RMIT, which is a more specific provenance than the in-house technology names most brands print on a label.

Height is not published for this bed, or for any mattress in the range, which is an odd gap on an otherwise dense specification sheet. Against that, the trial runs 120 nights and the warranty runs 15 years, the longest of any bed here, and it is genuinely built in Australia under licence rather than imported to a specification.

Pros

• Built in Australia
• 15-year warranty, the longest in this guide
• Copper gel, graphene and thermal memory foam in one stack
• Reinforced perimeter box for edge support
• 120-night trial

Cons

• No height published
• No firmness rating published
• Sits at the premium end of this guide

Key specs: Pocket spring hybrid, honeycomb-zoned micro barrel coil system, copper gel and graphene cooling foams, thermal memory foam, cooling fabric cover, reinforced edge box, made in Australia, 120-night trial, 15-year warranty.

5. 4 Play Mattress – Best for Couples

A zip runs around the top of this mattress, splitting the comfort layer into two halves that are set independently. Each half also flips. That gives four firmness combinations from one bed, which is the answer to the most common problem couples bring to a mattress showroom: two people who need different surfaces sharing one.

The support core is a twice-tempered seven-zone pocket spring unit shared across both halves, so the zoning stays consistent even when the two sides are set differently. Twice-tempered means the wire is heat-treated twice during manufacture, which is what keeps a coil from losing tension early.

Where the entry above it publishes an Australian build, this one publishes no manufacturing origin at all, and no height either. Couples who have argued about firmness for years will care more about the zip than about either gap, but it is worth knowing before the order goes in.

Pros

• Four firmness combinations from a single mattress
• Each side adjusts independently
• Twice-tempered 7-zone pocket spring core
• 120-night trial and 15-year warranty

Cons

• No manufacturing origin published
• No height published
• Flipping a deep mattress is a two-person job

Key specs: Dual-sided hybrid, zip-top comfort layer set independently per side, four firmness combinations, twice-tempered 7-zone pocket spring core, 120-night trial, 15-year warranty.

6. Boutique Deluxe Plus Mattress – Best for Side Sleepers

Natural latex sits at the top of the comfort stack, over a gel-infused memory foam layer and a seven-zone pocket coil base. The latex is SGS certified and the foams are CertiPUR-US certified. Latex above memory foam is a deliberate order: the latex adds immediate surface give while the memory foam underneath handles the slower contouring.

The result is medium-plush, the softest surface across the three ranges swept for this guide. For a side sleeper that softness is the point, because the shoulder and hip need somewhere to sink before the spine will sit straight. A back sleeper on the same bed will find the middle drops further than they want.

The coils are twice-tempered, so the give in the surface does not come from a weak core. Anyone who has woken with a numb shoulder on a firm bed is the target here, and the 120-night trial gives long enough to find out whether the softness holds up past the first fortnight.

Pros

• Softest surface in this guide
• SGS-certified natural latex over CertiPUR-US foams
• Twice-tempered 7-zone pocket coil base
• 120-night trial and 15-year warranty

Cons

• Too soft for most back and stomach sleepers
• No manufacturing origin published
• No height published

Key specs: Latex hybrid, medium-plush, SGS-certified natural latex over gel-infused memory foam, twice-tempered 7-zone pocket coils, CertiPUR-US foams, 120-night trial, 15-year warranty.

7. Advwin Hybrid Mattress – Best for Heavier Sleepers

At 32 cm this is one of the deeper beds in the guide, and it carries a published load rating of 200 kg. Very few mattresses in this price band state a load figure at all, and it is the specification a heavier sleeper actually needs, more than any comfort claim on the same page.

The stack is a conventional hybrid: pocket springs, memory foam and poly foam under a knitted jacquard top, with weaving-cloth sides carrying a mesh panel for airflow. The cover holds OEKO-TEX certification. Firmness is medium-firm, which pairs sensibly with the load rating.

The warranty is one year. Every other bed in this guide runs five to fifteen, and a twelve-month term on a product expected to last a decade signals what the seller expects from it. Australian Consumer Law guarantees still apply beyond that period regardless of what the warranty card says, but enforcing them takes effort a longer warranty would save.

Pros

• Published 200 kg load rating
• Deep 32 cm profile
• OEKO-TEX certified cover
• Mesh side panel for airflow
• Stocked in an Australian warehouse

Cons

• One-year warranty, far short of the rest of this guide
• No sleep trial
• No foam density published
• Sold in double and queen only

Key specs: Hybrid, 32 cm, medium-firm, pocket springs with memory foam and poly foam, knitted jacquard top, mesh side panel, OEKO-TEX certified cover, 200 kg load rating, double 190 x 138 cm and queen 206 x 153 cm, 1-year warranty.

8. Macoda Mattress – Best Adjustable Firmness

Unzip the cover on this one and an internal comfort layer lifts out and turns over. Flipping it moves the same mattress between soft, medium and firm. That is a different proposition to picking a firmness at checkout and living with it, and it removes the guesswork that makes buying a bed online difficult.

Six layers make up the 31 cm profile: a cool-touch cover, an airflow comfort foam, graphene memory foam, the adjustable support layer, a five-zone pocket spring unit, then solid edge support around the perimeter. The cover is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, with a bamboo version offered as an alternative.

One model is the whole catalogue, so there is no step up or down within the brand if the adjustment range does not land. The 100-night trial is shorter than the 120 nights offered by several beds above, and stock on the listing was ambiguous at the time of writing, which is worth confirming before ordering.

Pros

• Three firmness settings from one mattress
• Graphene memory foam and a cool-touch cover
• Five-zone pocket springs with solid edge support
• Oeko-Tex Standard 100 cover, bamboo option available
• 10-year warranty

Cons

• 100-night trial is shorter than several beds above
• Only one model in the range
• Spring count not published
• Stock status on the listing was unclear

Key specs: Hybrid, 31 cm, adjustable soft, medium or firm via a removable comfort layer, 6 layers, graphene memory foam, 5-zone pocket springs, solid edge support, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 cover, 100-night trial, 10-year warranty.

9. AH Beard Origins Populace Mattress – Best Sustainable Build

Firmness here changes by coil density rather than by swapping a foam layer, and the numbers are published, which is unusual. The firm build uses 2,500 comfort coils, the medium 5,000 and the soft 9,000, each sitting over a common base of 660 larger pocket springs. More coils means each one carries less load and yields sooner, so the surface reads softer.

The materials list is the other reason it is here. The cover is a damask of Tencel and GOTS-certified organic cotton, the wool is Australian, and the bed carries Global Green Tag Platinum and OEKO-TEX 100 certification. It is built in Australia, and the eucalypt feedstock is sustainably grown.

At 25 cm it is the shallowest bed in this guide, which suits a bedframe with a low side rail or a bunk where depth is capped. Buyers chasing a plush, deep surface will find more of it further up this list, and no sleep trial is offered on this one.

Pros

• Publishes exact coil counts for every firmness
• Global Green Tag Platinum, GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified
• Built in Australia with Australian wool
• Three firmness options on the same platform
• Tencel and organic cotton damask cover

Cons

• Shallowest profile here at 25 cm
• No sleep trial
• Firmness must be chosen at purchase

Key specs: Hybrid, 25 cm, three firmness builds at 2,500, 5,000 or 9,000 comfort coils over a 660 pocket spring base, Tencel and GOTS organic cotton damask cover, Australian wool, Global Green Tag Platinum and OEKO-TEX 100 certified, made in Australia, 10-year warranty.

10. Sealy Posturepedic Exquisite Andora Mattress – Best Zoned Support

The centre third of this mattress is reinforced with a gel-infused viscoelastic zone that the head and foot sections do not have. Most zoning spreads a graduated treatment across the whole surface; this concentrates it where the hips and lower back load the bed hardest, which is where a spring core usually gives out first.

Wool blended into the comfort layers handles moisture and temperature, and the cover is a temperature-regulating fabric made from at least 35 per cent recycled content. Depth comes in at 30 cm. The coil count is not published, which is the one significant gap on an otherwise detailed listing.

Dispatch runs five to ten days rather than next day, so this is not the bed for anyone replacing a mattress this week. It is built in Australia, and for a back sleeper carrying weight through the hips, the centre-third reinforcement is a more targeted answer than a general-purpose medium.

Pros

• Gel-infused reinforcement targeted at the centre third
• Built in Australia
• Cover uses at least 35 per cent recycled content
• Natural wool in the comfort layers
• Also sold in firm, plush and ultra plush

Cons

• Five to ten day dispatch
• Coil count not published
• No sleep trial

Key specs: Pocket spring, 30 cm, medium, gel-infused viscoelastic zone through the centre third, natural wool comfort layers, temperature-regulating cover with at least 35 per cent recycled content, made in Australia, 10-year warranty.

How to Choose a Mattress in Australia

Start with the support core, not the comfort layer. The top few centimetres decide how a bed feels in a showroom, and the core decides how it feels at 3 am. Heavier sleepers and back sleepers need a core that resists; lighter sleepers and side sleepers need one that lets the shoulder and hip drop far enough for the spine to sit straight. Getting this backwards is the single most common reason a bed feels wrong after a fortnight.

Read what the zoning does, not how many zones there are. Five, seven and nine-zone cores all exist, and the count says nothing on its own. What matters is whether the zones vary by wire gauge, by coil density, or only by foam cut. A core wound from three gauges behaves differently under the shoulders than under the hips; a single-gauge core with foam cut into seven strips mostly does not. Anyone buying specifically for spinal support will find the zoning comparison worked through in more detail in the guide to the best mattress for back pain.

Weigh the trial more heavily than the warranty. A warranty covers manufacturing defects such as a coil failing or a seam splitting, and it almost never covers a mattress that is simply too soft or too firm for the person on it. A trial covers exactly that, and the body takes two to four weeks to adapt to a new surface, so anything under 30 nights is close to useless. The beds here run from no trial at all to 120 nights.

Check the depth against the bed base and the fitted sheets. Standard Australian fitted sheets are cut for a mattress around 35 cm deep, so a 34 cm bed with a euro top will strain them while a 25 cm bed leaves them loose. Depth also changes the height a sleeper sits at when getting out of bed, which matters for anyone with a hip or knee problem, and it can put a low bedframe rail below the mattress edge.

Treat missing specifications as information. Two figures go missing most often on cheap imported beds: foam density in kilograms per cubic metre, which predicts whether the comfort layer flattens inside two years, and a fibreglass statement. Fibreglass fire barriers can shed through the cover once it is unzipped, and any listing that encourages washing a removable cover without stating the bed is fibreglass free deserves a direct question to the seller before ordering. Buyers who want a resistant surface without that risk will find certified options compared in the guide to firm mattresses.

Decide whether the mattress is the actual problem. A bed under about seven years old with an intact core that has simply gone too firm can often be fixed with a mattress topper instead. A visible dip, a coil that can be felt through the surface, or a core older than a decade cannot be. Press a hand into the centre of the bed and along the edge: if either sinks noticeably further than the rest, the core has gone and no topper will bring it back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Verdict

Sleepers who run hot should start with the Newentor Hybrid Mattress Pro, which stacks three cooling layers over a seven-zone core wound from three wire gauges, though its 4 out of 10 firmness rules it out for anyone who sleeps on their back. Buyers who want the longest cover on their purchase should take the Therapedic Exquisite Signature Mattress, built in Australia and warranted for 15 years against the 10 years most of this list offers. Couples stuck between two firmness preferences have one genuine answer here: the 4 Play Mattress, whose zip-top comfort layer sets each side independently and flips, giving four combinations from one bed.
