A new mattress is one of the most important household items that you will buy. Selecting the best mattress (for your needs) is critical to your sleep quality and general health. We all know how much better we feel after a good night’s sleep!
The problem is though, buying a new mattress is one of the most difficult and confusing purchases you will make. With an endless number of retailers, products and prices, it’s no wonder that Australians are overwhelmed with choice. Just check out how many major bedding retailers there are to choose from:
As well as navigating through all of the different retailers, you will also need to consider how much money you should spend on a mattress. And do we have to wait for the big sales (e.g. Boxing Day sales) to get the best deal?

Things to consider before buying
Price
The average (recommended retail) price for a ‘retail store’ mattress in Australia is around $3000. Now, keep in mind that you can usually negotiate 30-40% off the recommended retail price (depending on the retailer and product), so the average ‘sale price’ would be closer to $2000.
Generally speaking, you can get a good mattress for between $1000 – $2000 (Queen size). Having said that, this is a general guide and the right mattress will depend on your individual needs and your life situation. You can read more about mattress pricing here.
Warranties
Almost all retail store mattresses will come with a warranty that should cover any major defects. Some warranties will require certain bed bases for the warranty to be valid so make sure you check the details of the product warranty before buying.
It’s worth noting that warranties won’t usually cover you if you decide on the ‘wrong mattress’ (e.g. too firm or too soft). This emphasises the importance of taking your time when choosing your new mattress in-store. A typical length of warranty for a retail store mattress is 10 years.

Penny for your thoughts ?.
Hi Ryan, thanks for getting in touch!
Thought it was best to send you an email so we can discuss further.
Kind regards, the Bedbuyer team
I’m tossing between Silent Night Onyx, Cloud9 or Neoluxe Vantage Silver.
I just can’t decide!!! Could you recommend out of these 3. Thanks
Hi Georgia,
Definitely a tough call as all are very good mattresses. Something to keep in mind is that the Cloud 9 range is not available until late September (due to COVID restrictions in VIC) and depending on your location, there may be a delay on the others as well.
Let me know your location (post code/ suburb) and we can go from there.
Kind regards,
The Bedbuyer team
Hi, I live in Tasmania and am struggling with your top picks as none seem to be sold here. I would like to be able look before I purchase. Any recommendations?
Hi Natalie,
Happy to help – one of our top picks in our list here is the SleepyHead Swisstek CS range which is available at Beds R Us who have 6 locations in Tasmania – locations can be found on this link here.
Alternatively, you could also consider buying a ‘mattress in a box’ online. Most do free shipping to Tasmania, and you have a trial period whereby you can get a refund if you are not satisfied. These are very popular these days, especially in Tassie as retail stores are a bit limited. Our top ‘mattress in a box’ picks for 2020 can be found on this link here.
Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries.
The Bedbuyer team
After endlessly looking for what’s right and what’s not I decided to just ask you is they Emma mattress just as good without the extra dollars or is it actually worth spending that bit more and getting the cloud 9. As we are both in our 50s and I have osteoporosis & osteoarthritis and my husband has neck problems due to the pillow I expect but also suffers careel tunnel please advise what should we do. Please email me.
Hi Patricia,

Help me please!
I live in Melbourne & I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I’m in desperate need of a new mattress and a good nights sleep. Having to commit a to buy a new mattress without getting to try it first is so terrifying! After a week of online research I had to make a choice and went with a Sherman (full body hug) due to their fantastic reviews and 100 day return policy. It was delivered yesterday & sadly it’s definitely not plush/soft enough for me. I’m a side sleeper and I end up tossing and turning all night with sore shoulders when I find a mattress too hard. Can you please help recommend a mattress that’s going to be plush enough. I had also been considering the silent night London or onyx.
Hi Erin,
All the best with your upcoming new arrival and happy to help!
Sorry to hear that the Sherman (Full Body Hug) was not soft enough for you. As you said, you have the return/refund option to use there.
The one we would recommend at this point would be the Silent Night London (Plush). We found this to be softer and ‘lighter’ than the Sherman Mattress (Full Body Hug), and a really nice mattress overall. We know that purchasing without trying is scary but we feel that this should be soft enough for you. To claim our special price, click here and use the code BEDBUYER100 at checkout.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.
The Bedbuyer team
Thank you so much for your response! Would you recommend the Silent night London (plush) over the Slumberland Dorset? (Another option that I have recently came across) If it helps I would NEVER say a mattress is too soft.
Our pleasure Erin!
We would definitely lean towards the Silent Night London. The Dorset is a nice, soft mattress but the London would be a bit softer and a better mattress overall. We have tested over 1500 mattresses and they really don’t come much softer than the Silent Night London (Plush).
Hope that helps but please let us know how it all goes!

Hi there,
We are in Perth and none of your recommendations seem to be relevant to us here. Could you please advise what you recommend based on the stores here in Perth.
Thanks, Emma
Hi Emma,
Happy to help. All of the mattresses listed in this list can be ordered and delivered to Perth.
Furthermore, most of these mattresses (except the Cloud 9 range, Sherman, Crown Hotels, Eco Kids) can be tried out in-store in Perth which would be much the same situation for most of Australia.
Hope that clarifies things but please let us know if you need any further assistance.
The Bedbuyer team
Does the silent night onyx come as an ensemble in queen?
And is it available in Maitland NSW?
Hi Franz,
To answer your question, the Silent Night Onyx only refers to the mattress itself. Prices for mattresses don’t usually include a bed base.
Delivery to your location should be possible, but we will have to get a delivery quote from Beds n Dreams as their closest store is in Gosford (about an hour away). Just let us know what firmness level you would like (e.g. medium) and we can check stock and get a delivery cost for you. Alternatively, you could visit the Gosford store if you’re up for a drive. In that case, you can try each version out to see what feels best, and browse their range of bed bases in-store.
In terms of a bed base, due to your location it will be more practical and cost effective to order online. Depending on what style bed base you are after, the Naptime Base or the Sleep Republic Pro Base are both good quality and great value. You can purchase these online and they come with free delivery.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.
The Bedbuyer team
Hi there,
I m interested in the silent night onyx after seeing your review! Can I please know if the wood slat base would be fine for it？i have the Jessica Bed currently. Thank you！
Hi Kay,
Thanks for your interest in the Silent Night Onyx Mattress!
The Jessica Bed (from Fantastic Furniture) has solid wood slats and should be totally adequate for the Silent Night Onyx Mattress.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.

Hi I was talking to my chiropractor Simon in falcon Perth he gave me your name to ask what you would recommend for me I have bed pain and it is sore when I get up in morning I am a side sleeper I have been looking at these one in a box I do find my bed a bit to firm what do you recommend thanks you julie
Hi Julie,
Happy to help! Two (mattress in a box) options that we would consider:
1. Sleeping Duck Mattress (Medium) – our review is here and shop page is linked here
2. Macoda Mattress – our review is here and shop page is linked here
Have a look at those reviews and don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.
The Bedbuyer team
Hello Jon,
My new chiropractor Daniel in HARRISDALE, Perth gave me your on line address and said to contact you regarding my situation.
Firstly I am in my early 70’s and have pretty bad back problems been for over 40 years now and as expected have got worse in recent years. The areas of pain are literally from neck down to my coccyx (which the most recent area that has appeared) and driving me crazy with pain when I sit down. Ten days ago I purchased a mattress from “Adjusta” which I’m told only comes in one format. I only wish that I had heard of your site before 10 days ago. Just about every muscle in my body aches since having this and by the end of the day I can barely walk when getting off a chair. I’m hoping that they will give me a refund. Hoping this happens, I need all your advice and comments so I can buy another mattress and I am fully informed. I sleep alone so I don’t have to consider anyone else. My current base is one of those electric ones that raise up at the top and feet end. If it means that I can’t use these functions again with new mattress I don’t care. I have read all the information on your top 10 beds and I have at least two in mind, but I am keen to hear you comments.
Can’t wait for your comments!
Hi Sonia,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer and for providing us with that useful information.
Sorry to hear that your Adjusta Mattress isn’t working for you. Based on your history of back issues, a few options that we would recommend:
1. Sleeping Duck Mattress (Medium) – this is a ‘mattress in a box’ that you order online and it comes with a 100 night free trial period (meaning that you can get a full refund if you don’t like it). It is a pocket spring mattress that is ‘customisable’ so you can adjust the firmness levels in different sections of the body. Unfortunately it is not really recommended for an electric base but sounds like you’re happy to keep the base flat. The functionality of this mattress is best described in our full review (which includes a video review).
2. Silent Night London Mattress – this is a lovely mattress available from Beds n Dreams (your closest store is Cannington). It can ordered specially to go on an adjustable base and comes in a firm, medium, and plush so best to try them out in-store to see what feels best. Just mention Bedbuyer in-store to claim our special discount. Our full review of the medium version is linked here.
Hope that gives you some direction but please let us know if you need further assistance.
The Bedbuyer team
Hi, I live in Perth WA and am looking for a reasonably priced mattress that offers superior back support without being too hard. You have mentioned a few that sound interesting such as the Cloud 9, Sherman or Silent Night but I wonder if any of these are available in Perth and if so, where from? Thank you.
Hi Pippa,
Happy to help. The Silent Night Onyx is on display (and available for purchase) at any Beds n Dreams store in Perth (store locations linked here). Just mention Bedbuyer in-store to claim our special pricing.
The Cloud 9 Classic Comfort isn’t available to try in-store in Perth, but it can be ordered online (use code BBCLOUD150) and delivered to Perth ($99 delivery).
The Sherman Mattress isn’t available to try in-store (in Perth) either but should be available to order online for delivery to Perth any day now (we will keep you posted).
Let us know your thoughts!
The Bedbuyer team
We live in Berowra NSW and purchased a King Koil Chiro Deluxe Plush Queen mattress in 2013 and although it is comfortable to lie on, I who have never overheated in bed find it makes us both extremely hot & sweatly, so hot that you keep tossing and turning all night, even in the deep depths of winter you sleep in singlet and not even the sheet on top. We would like to replace but given our past experience and cost can you guide us in what we should be replacing it with, Both mattress and base. Thank you.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for that background information, that’s very helpful!
A great mattress that we would recommend would be the Silent Night Onyx. It comes in a firm, medium, and plush version so you can try it out in-store (Beds n Dreams) to see what feels best. You may find the plush is best. Our full review of the Silent Night Onyx is linked here.
While you are in Beds n Dreams, the Silent Night London is also very nice – our review of the medium version is linked here.
Both of these mattresses are excellent quality and are both Australian made.
Your closest store would be:
Beds n Dreams
Unit 3, 1 Niangala Close
Belrose NSW 2085
02 9450 2836
Beds n Dreams should have some nice bed base options in-store too, but can save a bit if you buy online. The Sleep Republic Pro Base is a beauty and great value – shop page is linked here.
Hope that helps but please let us know if you have any further questions!
The Bedbuyer team
I’m stuck between the Sherman Just Perfect, Sleep Republic and The Noa. Send help. Current prices for KS; 749 (from 899), 619 (from 729), 549 (from 899) respectively. My thinking goes to The Noa because of the discount (or at least their lowest willing pricepoint if I don’t buy now).
I then look at the full non-discount price for where each company values their mattresses on the market as a baseline. The Sleep Republic was awarded best overall BUT has a lower initial pre-discount pricepoint at 729. The Noa seems to have 15k+ 5 star reviews.
Then the Sherman Just Perfect is a retail mattress, rather than boxed. I’m kinda sketchy on boxed mattresses. Does that make a difference in quality even though it’s full price is the same as The Noa?
At this price range, and them being within a close range at that, is there really going to be a noticeable difference overall? Or in this scenario, would the lowest price option be the way to go?
I’m quite indecisive, if you can’t tell. Thanks.
Hi Aaron,
Happy to assist. Firstly, it’s worth noting that the Sleep Republic Mattress (king single size) is actually $594 (with our discount code, BEDBUYERBLACK).
I wouldn’t get too bogged down comparing prices in this instance. They are all excellent value, particularly at this point for Black Friday. Similarly, I wouldn’t worry about the fact that a mattress has been rolled into a box. Many ‘retail store’ mattresses have been compressed anyway during storage/transport and the Noa and Sleep Republic Mattresses use good quality materials.
The most important thing is that you get the mattress that suits you best, rather than just going for the cheapest or best discount. The Sherman Just Perfect and Noa are similar in ‘firmness’ (more of a medium feel), and the Sleep Republic is more of a medium-firm feel. It’s worth noting that Sherman doesn’t deliver to all places in Australia (check delivery zone here).
The Sleep Republic Mattress is a really good option at a great price right now. With all things considered here, we would lean towards that one. You always have the option of a return/refund if it really doesn’t suit.
Hope that helps but please let us know how you go!

Hi Bedbuyer
We currently have a almost 9 year old Tempur Original 2O king mattress. It was a firmer style when we purchased it. In the last 18 months we have both lost 35kgs each and are both now getting shoulder and hip pain so think we need something softer. We loved our Tempur and am concerned on buying something else that it will not live up to our expectations and longevity. We do find the Tempur a bit hot in summer. Do you have any recommendations that may suit us. We are 48 years old 155cm 75kg and 46 years old 180cm 100kg.
Both got histories of knee and shoulder injuries and back and neck pain. Cheers Nicole
Hi Nicole,
One mattress that would be worth considering is the medium version of the Sleeping Duck Mattress. It should have better ventilation than your Tempur and can be customised to your firmness preferences. This is best shown in our full review (with video review) linked here. To get free delivery, click here.
If you wanted to stick to the memory foam style (like your Tempur) the Amerisleep range at Beds n Dreams is excellent and comes in 4 firmness options. You can view our collection of Amerisleep Mattress reviews here, and the full list of Beds n Dreams stores is linked here.
Hope that gives you some direction. Would love to know how you go!

Hi there’s,
Thanks for a great review.
My question.. are any of these suitable for electric beds?
I have a king with 2 king single mattresses (each operates on their separate electric control).
I need a firm mattress to support me, but soft enough to provide comfort and cushion my body.
I am a back sleeper.
I have very bad osteoporosis and spend a great deal of time in bed with fractures in my spine.
I am allergic to latex.
And I overheat very easily.
Trying to find an appropriate mattress is soooo hard, yet is vital to my well-being.
I can’t visit stores, so recommendations like yours are very much appreciated.
If you could please help guide me on the most appropriate mattress choice I would be so grateful.
I live in Melbourne,
Cheers
Juls
Hi Julie,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer and for your kind words!
Unfortunately none of the mattresses in the list above are suitable for an adjustable (electric) bed base. However, there are a good number of mattresses on the market that are compatible with an adjustable base.
If you have a king bed, it will actually be 2 ‘long single’ mattresses so just confirming you are looking for 2 new ‘long single’ mattresses that are suitable for your situation?
Our list of Australian bed sizes is linked here.
Look forward to hearing from you.
The Bedbuyer team
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes I do have 2 king single mattressss which make up my king size adjustable (electric bed).
And would like help to select the best mattress/s for this.
Thankyou
Thanks Julie.
I will assume you mean 2 ‘long single’ mattresses (not king single) as 2 ‘long single’ mattresses make up a king size bed.
We would recommend the Midnight Mattress (Medium) from Solace Sleep. 1 long single mattress is currently $1215 (use code BEDBUYER200 to claim this price). You can jump straight to the shop page on this link here.
Have a look at this one and let us know how you go!

Hi Dalibor,

Hi Kim,
Thanks for providing that information.

Hi there,
We are needing a new king size mattress. Mid 30’s, both side sleepers, shift workers and sometimes have children in the bed too. My husband overheats and gets neck/shoulder pain and I regularly get lower back pain and hip pain.
I see my chiro fortnightly due to mild scholiosis but since my second pregnancy I am still always very tense through my lower back.
What are you recommendations for side sleepers? Soft/Medium/Firm?
Thanks in advance,
Anita
Hi Anita,
Generally for side sleepers we recommend a medium feel, but it can depend on each person’s body shape and firmness preference. For hot sleepers (like your husband) we always recommend a spring mattress (as opposed to a full foam mattress).
The Sleeping Duck Mattress (Medium) would be a very sensible option to start with for your situation. It allows you to customise firmness levels and has a strong spring system. You can see our full review (includes video review) on this link here, or you can jump straight to the shop page on this link here.
Hope that helps but would love to hear how you go!

Hi – after 8 years we got rid of our Sealy spring mattress as I started to get lower back pain which I thought might be related to some sagging. We bought a Koala mattress (Choice magazine recommendation) and now have had for a week. Disappointingly, I still wake up with back pain. A friend bought a Noa mattress based on your recommendation last year and swears by it. I am confused on what to do and welcome your suggestion/recommendation.
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the background information.
Based on what you’ve said, sounds like you need a bit more support than what the Koala Mattress offers. The Noa Mattress is a really nice one and is a touch firmer than the Koala Mattress so this would be a sensible option. You can jump straight to the shop page on this link here.
Another one to consider would be the Sleep Republic Mattress which has an excellent spring system and offers great spinal support. You can jump straight to the shop page on this link here (use code BEDBUYER150 to get $150 off).
Hope that gives you some guidance but please let us know how you go!

Hi there,
In need of a new queen mattress as the Sleepmaker we have been using for 13 years needs an update. Can stretch budget to $1000. Looking for something comfy, durable and made in Australia in a medium comfort level which I can try out instore before purchasing. Living in regional NSW our store options are limited to postcodes 2478 and 2480. Would love your advice, thanks!
Hi Jem,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!
For under $1000 (Queen size), we don’t have an ‘in-store’ recommendation for you unfortunately. Your location, budget, and desire for Australian made makes that virtually impossible.
Based on your location and budget, we would strongly recommend a mattress in a box (online). There are some great value options in this market and delivery is free. A few good ones that we would recommend (under $1000):
1. Naptime 2.0 Mattress – Australian made, nice balance of comfort and support. Our full review (with video review and discount code) is linked here.
2. And Sleep Luna – great value, and has a strong spring system. Our full review (includes discount code) is linked here.
Have a look at those options and please let us know how you go!

I have read your article, it is very informative Thanks for sharing this!
You’re very welcome 🙂
Hi, I live in W.A and am struggling with your top picks as none seem to be sold here. I would like to be able look before I purchase. Any recommendations?
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!
If you live in WA (but not in Perth), let us know your location and we can recommend some options that are available to you.
If you do live in Perth, you can try out the following mattress before purchasing:
1. Silent Night Onyx – Beds n Dreams
2. Hypnos Balmoral – Beds n Dreams
3. Orthokinetic Signature Monarch – Amart Furniture
4. Neoluxe Vantage Silver – Beds n Dreams
5. SleepTailor Luxe – Snooze
It’s worth noting that all other mattresses on this list are sold as ‘online only’ but come with a ‘free trial period’. This means that you can get a full refund if you’re not satisfied.
Hope that helps but please let us know if you would like to discuss further.

Good Evening
I am in the market for buying a queen mattress for my 14 year old son. I am a little dubious of buying a bed in the box but I am seriously considering it as in the price range of $800 -$1000 I am underwhelmed by the selection in stores .The bed in a box options I am considering from reading your reviews and recommendations are The Noa Mattress and Naptime 2.0.Can you give me any advice or further recommendations on a suitable mattress with a medum feel and how easy is it to return a bed in the box if you are not totally satisfied.
Kind regards
Hi Hazel,
Totally understand the hesitation to buy a mattress in a box but there are some excellent options available these days. Many of these products are actually better than some ‘retail store’ mattresses double their price.
The Naptime 2.0 Mattress would be a very sensible option for a teenager. Lovely medium feel with a nice balance of comfort and support. For your reference, you can read our full review here or jump straight to the shop page on this link here.
Hope that helps but please let us know how you go.

Thankyou Bed Buyer team and congratulations on such a great website and your advice in answering everyone’s questions, most impressed.
Thanks Hazel, we appreciate your kind words!
Hello,
Firstly a great website, well done!!
My husband and I are in our late 50’s (156 Cm 63 kg and 180cm 93 kg). We both have back problems. And I get hot at night, he doesn’t. We purchased a My Side bed series 4 with his side being harder than mine (one is blue the other red). He is now waking up with back pain (can’t rotate the mattress as it’s specific to us). The bed is about 10 years old and needs replacing. I read the top best mattresses of 2021 which would you recommend for us.
Hi Paula,
Thanks for your kind words, we appreciate that 🙂
Sorry to hear that your MySide (series 4) isn’t working for you (or your husband).
A few options that we would recommend for you:
1. Sleeping Duck Mattress – I would order the firm version first and go from there (you can adjust firmness levels if you wish). Our full review (includes a video review) is linked here or you can jump straight to the shop page here.
2. Silent Night Onyx – this comes in a firm, medium, and plush version so best to try them out at Beds n Dreams to see what feels best. The firm version is quite firm so I would lean towards the medium or plush. The full list of Beds n Dreams stores is linked here (just mention Bedbuyer in-store to claim our special price).
Hope that gives you some direction but please let us know how you go!
