Purchase and delivery
You can order the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress online (through the Sleeping Giant website.
Delivery availability and delivery charges will vary greatly depending on your location. This information can be determined on the product page and at checkout.
Our mattresses arrived in black, Hessian style mattress bags. The mattresses also were wrapped in thick plastic covering for additional protection during transport.
Removing each Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress from its packaging should take around 5-10 minutes and we recommend having two people available to unpack a mattress.
Keep in mind that there will be a fair amount of packaging to dispose of. So, some planning may be required along with plenty of bin space.
The Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress presents well with a opulent, luxurious appearance. The mattress uses a white and cream colour theme as well a product label and embroidery at the base.
Each firmness option has a slightly different weight, but all versions are 37cm high. This is higher than average but certainly not unusual for a good quality innerspring mattress.
Along with the mattress, the package includes an information booklet.
Mattress construction
As we mentioned above, the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress is an innerspring mattress and contains a number of materials in its comfort layer.
1 .Top cover
The top cover of this mattress includes a silky Tencel fabric, which is known for its natural cooling and temperature-regulating properties.
2. Comfort foams
Underneath the top cover sits luxurious layers of Certi-PUR Certified Foam. This forms a profound, pressure-relieving comfort layer, enabling fatigued muscles to unwind and recuperate.
3. Mini micro coils
As part of the top comfort layer, mini micro coils help to enhance air circulation and breathability.
This luxurious comfort system, featuring dual layers of micro-coils, facilitates a smooth transition from the upper comfort layers to the underlying support system.
4. 7-zone spring system
The main support structure of the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress is a 7-zone spring system, equipped with responsive coils.
This spring unit intuitively adapts to your individual contours through three stages of targeted support. This ensures the preservation of your body’s natural alignment.
Please note that the Firm Support and Extra Firm versions have a 5-zone spring system.
5. Edge support
Enhanced by Dual Foam Box Edge Support, this mattress features a comprehensive edge-to-edge reinforcement that envelops the comfort and support coil systems.
This ensures a more expansive sleep surface, heightened stability, and robust support extending seamlessly to the edges.
Comfort and support
The top cover on all firmness options feels soft, smooth, and expensive.
The ‘Firm Support’ version of the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress feels firm but still noticeably comfortable with smooth pressure relief.
This Firm Support version should suit all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers), but this suitability will vary between individuals.
In terms of a specific firmness rating, our reviewers settled on an 7 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest), based on a majority vote.
Firm Support
Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.
Furthermore, our firmness ratings are assigned based on Bedbuyer’s testing process and these may differ from firmness ratings given by individual companies. Mattress firmness will also vary depending on the type of bed base used.
We tested the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress on the Soho Slimline Base which is a good quality bed base with solid slats.
The ‘Balanced Comfort’ version has a soft foamy feel with nice pressure relief and plenty of comfort.
This Balanced Comfort version should suit all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers). Again though, this suitability will vary between individuals.
Our reviewers settled on a 5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest), based on a majority vote.
Balanced Comfort
As you would expect, the ‘Extra Comfort’ version offers an abundance of pressure relief, and would be best suited for side sleepers.
As with many soft mattresses, this option may not provide adequate spinal support for some people, and has a slight sinking sensation.
Our reviewers settled on a 3.5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest), based on a majority vote. Again, please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide.
Extra Comfort
The ‘Extra Firm’ version feels noticeably firm with minimal pressure relief. It would be best suited for back sleepers.
Our reviewers settled on a 8.5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest), based on a majority vote.
Extra Firm Version
Spinal support will vary depending on what firmness option that you choose. We felt that the Balanced Comfort and Firm Support options offered the best back support but again, this will depend on the individual.
In any case, the spring systems feels solid and stable across all firmness options and we would expect this mattress to accommodate people of all sizes.
All firmness options of the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress respond well to normal sleep movements. As such, we rated the level of responsiveness of this mattress in the optimal zone. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) shouldn’t be any trouble.
Responsiveness
Please note that our responsiveness scales are just a guide and preferred responsiveness levels will vary between individuals. It’s worth noting also that innerspring mattresses are generally more responsive than foam mattresses.
The finer details
The overall build quality of the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress is excellent. The quality of the foams and fabrics is of a high standard, as is the quality of the stitching and finishings.
The spring systems feels solid and stable across all firmness options
Even though the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress is an innerspring mattress, the mattress isolates motion quite well. So, a restless partner shouldn’t cause too much disruption.
With that said, motion transfer may vary. A larger mattress (e.g. king size) will usually involve lower amounts of motion transfer. Partner disturbance will also depend on the size of the occupants of the bed.
The Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress comes with vertically positioned side handles. These handles are attached to the mattress strongly but there isn’t much space to fit a large hand.
Nevertheless, these side handles will make moving or transporting a mattress easier. Credit to James Lane for including them in this collection.
Edge support is commendable on all firmness options of this mattress. So, the mattress perimeter should provide reasonable strength during sleep and sitting activities.
As we usually find, the firmer options have a stronger edge than the softer versions.
It’s worth noting here that the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress is officially Santized® with ActiFresh. This hygiene method provides effective solutions for natural odour management for textiles and surface and material protection.
This foams used in this mattress are also certified as non-toxic by CertiPUR-US®.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress to be used on a bed base with flat panel slats such as the Koala Paddington Bed Base.
A bed base with solid slats (with slats no longer than 8 cm apart) such as the Chiropedic Bed Base, would also be very suitable.
We would advise against using a bed base with flexible (posture) slats as this type of base may not provide adequate support. Ultimately, the use of an unsupportive mattress foundation will void the mattress warranty.
We don’t recommend the Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress to be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base as this may cause damage to the mattress components. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.
It’s worth noting here that mattress firmness, performance, and durability will vary with different bed bases.
Warranty
This mattress also comes with a 10 year warranty to cover any faulty materials or workmanship. This warranty duration is typical in comparison to the warranties of similarly priced products.
Available sizes
This mattress is available in 5 sizes (king, queen, double, king single, and single) so it should accommodate most adult sleeping arrangements.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2025.

The Art & Science Ultra Luxe Mattress is a premium quality product that comes in a range of firmness options to suit most people.
