Buying Guide: What to Look for in an Australian Mattress

1. Trial Period

Always look for at least 100 nights. Koala (120 nights) and Sleeping Duck (100 nights) offer some of the best trials available. A trial lets you test the mattress through different seasons including Australian summer.

2. Warranty

A 10-year warranty is standard for quality mattresses. Ecosa offers 15 years, which is exceptional. Be wary of brands offering less than 5 years.

3. Foam vs Hybrid

All-foam mattresses offer excellent motion isolation but can sleep warm. Hybrid mattresses use pocket springs under foam, improving airflow significantly — important for Australian summers.

4. Firmness

Medium is most versatile for side and back sleepers. Stomach sleepers generally need firmer. If unsure, Ecosa lets you adjust firmness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best mattress in Australia in 2026?โ–พ
Based on our testing, the Koala Original is the best all-round mattress for most Australians in 2026 โ€” balancing comfort, cooling, and value. For couples, the Sleeping Duck Mach II is the standout option due to its split-firmness feature.
How much should I spend on a mattress in Australia?โ–พ
For a quality primary mattress in Australia, budget a minimum of $900โ€“$1,000 for a queen. The best value is in the $1,000โ€“$1,500 range from reputable online brands. Avoid spending under $500 for a primary mattress โ€” the materials and durability simply aren't there at that price point.
What mattress brands are available in Australia?โ–พ
The main mattress brands available in Australia with free delivery include Koala, Sleeping Duck, Emma, Ecosa, and Ergoflex. Australian-made options include Mattress Crafters and A.H. Beard. All of these ship Australia-wide.
How long does a mattress last in Australia?โ–พ
Most quality mattresses last 7โ€“10 years with proper care. Signs it's time to replace include visible body impressions, waking with pain that improves during the day, or significantly reduced support compared to when new.
