Purchase and delivery
You can order the Art & Science Windsor Mattress online (through the Sleeping Giant website) and it will be delivered to your door.
Delivery availability and delivery charges will vary greatly depending on your location. This information can be determined on the product page and at checkout. For example, the delivery cost to a Sydney metropolitan address is $129.
Our mattresses arrived with thick plastic covering which protected the products well during transport. Removing each Art & Science Windsor Mattress from its packaging should take around 5-10 minutes and we recommend having two people available to unpack a mattress.
The Art & Science Windsor Mattress presents a rather plain and simple appearance. The mattress uses a white and grey colour theme as well a product label and embroidery at the base.
Each firmness option has a slightly different height, but as an example, the Balanced Comfort option sits 24cm high. All firmness options sit relatively low but are still within the normal height range for an innerspring mattress.
Along with the mattress, the package includes an information booklet.
Mattress construction
As we mentioned above, the Art & Science Windsor Mattress is an innerspring mattress and contains a number of materials in its comfort layer.
1 .Top cover
The top cover material is made with a 10% Tencel/90% Polyester fabric with Actifresh Knit.
2. Comfort layer
Quilting foams sit underneath the top cover and vary slightly depending on the firmness level.
- Firm Support: 18mm quilting foam
- Balanced Comfort: 10mm quilting foam, quilting fibre (as per graphic below)
- Extra Comfort: 10mm quilting foam, extra quilting fibre

Next comes a Pillow top that contains different comfort materials.
- Extra Firm Support: None
- Firm Support: 6D Mesh Fabric on the Pillow Top Gusset
- Balanced Comfort: 6D Mesh Fabric on the Pillow Top Gusset
- Extra Comfort: 6D Mesh Fabric on the Pillow Top Gusset
4. Spring system
The main support structure of this mattress is a 3 zone pocket spring system.
5. Edge support
The mattress perimeter is strengthened with two rows of heavier gauge pocket springs. The side wall fabric is made of 100% polyester fabric.
Comfort and support
The top cover on all firmness options feels soft and breathable.
The ‘Firm Support’ version of the Art & Science Windsor Mattress has a firm and supportive feel. Additionally, its dense and spongy character moulds to the body well.
This Firm Support version would likely suit most back sleepers, but this suitability will vary between individuals.
In terms of a specific firmness rating, our reviewers settled on an 8 / 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 Windsor Mattress on the Soho Slimline Base which is a good quality bed base with solid slats.
The ‘Balanced Comfort’ version has a network of large foamy pockets that offer a nice level of comfort.
This Balanced Comfort version should have wide appeal and 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 7 / 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 is the softest option in the Art & Science Windsor Mattress range. It offers offers plenty of comfort and pressure relief, and would be best suited for side sleepers.
Our reviewers settled on a 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 extremely firm and would likely only suit a small proportion of people. It is best suited for back sleepers.
Our reviewers settled on a 9.5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest), based on a majority vote.
Extra Firm Version
Spinal support and spinal stability will vary depending on the user’s body type and what firmness option the user chooses. The Balanced Comfort and Firm Support options will offer the best back support for most people.
In any case, the spring system feels reasonable across all firmness options but we would recommend considering other options (with a stronger spring system) if you or your partner weigh over 100kgs.
All firmness options of the Art & Science Windsor 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 Windsor Mattress is impressive in the context if its price. The quality of the foams and fabrics is of a decent standard, as is the quality of the stitching and finishings.
The overall build quality of the Art & Science Windsor Mattress is impressive in the context if its price.
Even though the Art & Science Windsor 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.
Only the Extra Comfort and Balanced Comfort versions of the Art & Science Windsor Mattress come with side handles. These handles are vertically positioned and are attached to the mattress strongly. Due to the relatively low height of each mattress though, 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, albeit not in the Extra Firm or Firm options.
Edge support is respectable throughout the range and should provide reliable strength during sleep and sitting activities. We found the strongest perimeter to be on the Extra Comfort and Balanced Comfort versions.
It’s worth noting here that the Art & Science Windsor Mattress is officially Santized® with ActiFresh. This hygiene method provides effective solutions for natural odour management for textiles and surface and material protection.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Art & Science Windsor 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 Windsor 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.
Final verdict
The Art & Science Windsor Mattress offers excellent value throughout the range. It is ideal for a budget conscious shopper with the Balanced Comfort being a perfect, low-cost guest room mattress.

Art & Science Windsor Mattress
We’re thrilled to unveil the Windsor Mattress—a refreshed and elevated design replacing our best-selling Art & Science Silver Mattress.
Art & Science Windsor Mattress has been recommended by Choice Australia for the 5th year in a row. We are proudly the only mattress in Australia to achieve this.
The 3-zone pocket spring unit provides excellent lower back support while gentle on the shoulders for side sleepers. Individually pocketed coils conform to the body shape and distribute weight evenly, minimising pressure points and tossing and turning. Partner disturbance and roll-together are virtually eliminated as each spring acts independently, nested in its own fabric pocket.
Tencel blended fabric provides superior moisture and thermal regulation using hollow fibre technology, wicking heat and moisture away from the body. Actifresh treatment has been applied to inhibit mould and bacteria growth and reduce or even eliminate dust mites.
Great value for kids, teenagers, spare rooms or those on a budget who don’t want to compromise quality or support.
Windsor – Proven Comfort. Unbeatable Value.
Great sleep, made simple.
The Windsor mattress is the next evolution of our well-loved Silver range, bringing the same trusted comfort and quality with a fresh new look.
