Hi very confused about
Which to go for.. like the hybrid and want up get a queen and two singles. I am a side sleeper and have a hip injuy which causes pain. I’m tossing in between Eva and sleep republic .. around same price
Hi Vanessa,
The Sleep Republic is a little softer than the Eva Mattress so may be a better option if you are a side sleeper. I have linked our review of the Sleep Republic Mattress here for you – https://bedbuyer.com.au/sleep-republic-mattress …but let us know if you want to discuss further. The Bedbuyer team
Stuck between the Eva and the Noa mattress…..please help!
From my research the Eva mattress is the only hybrid mattress that seems to have 2 different spring systems: micro-springs and pocket springs, compared to the rest of the market which seems to only have pocket springs. Is the addition of the micro-springs a significant factor?
Contemplating as both seem to be very similar apart from this. I’ve put off ordering a mattress because was unsure but I’ve noticed that the Eva has increased price (I remembered it used to be around $750 + a $150 discount but now is $900 + a $100 discount). Just wondering between the Eva and Noa which one to go for and why the Eva was chosen as the overall best mattress instead?
Hi Grace,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!
More than happy to help – as you mentioned the Eva Mattress has a layer of microsprings (in addition to the pocket springs). This helps with ventilation and body contouring. Plus it should also help with longevity / durability as it is the foams that will degrade over time, not so much the springs.
We have had the Eva Mattress listed on Bedbuyer for several years, and it did have a recent price increase from $850 (queen) to $900, both with a $100 coupon. There are some occasional special offers, but otherwise the Eva Mattress price hasn’t changed too much.
We found the Eva Mattress to be better built, has better edge support, and better comfort (compared with the Noa). And only for a little extra spend, we found the Eva to be better than the Noa overall. The Noa is still a great buy for the price though.

Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries!

Do any of these companies remove your old mattress
Hi Maxine, none of the mattress in a box companies remove old mattresses (to our knowledge) but Sherman sell a very nice mattress range (not a mattress in a box, but online with 100 night trial). Do you live in a metro area of Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane? Kind regards, the Bedbuyer team
Dear Bedbuyer,
I like the features of the Eva mattress, but worry that it will wear out quicker because it is not double-sided and cannot be flipped over each week. Is there a double-sided mattress, with all of the Eva’s features, that comes in a box?
Thanks,
Scott
Hi Scott,
We have tested over 1500 mattresses and the vast majority only have a comfort layer on one side, meaning that there are very few mattresses these days that can be ‘flipped over’. So in answer to your question, there is not a mattress in a box (we have tested over 100) that is double sided unfortunately. The Eva Mattress has a 12 year warranty and should last many years.
Here is their shop page for your reference: http://bit.ly/EvaMattress
Let us know if you have any further questions. Keep us posted!

stuck between a Sleeping duck / sleep republic / Fern green
Side sleeper mostly with some back pain , want no partner disturbance and tend to prefer firm edge and a firmer type mattress the old pillow top was a killer , Garry
Hi Garry,
Based on what you mentioned, I would suggest the Sleep Republic Mattress as a starting point. Very well made with a nice medium / firm feel. Excellent support and nice pressure relief for a side sleeper. I have linked our review here for your reference: https://bedbuyer.com.au/sleep-republic-mattress/
Any queries, please let us know!
