Purchase and delivery
How do I buy a Dusk&Dawn Signature Mattress?
The Dusk&Dawn Signature can be ordered online through the official Dusk&Dawn website. Each mattress is made to order and carefully handcrafted in Melbourne, so it doesn’t arrive compressed in a box like many online mattresses.
Delivery is free to metro areas across Australia, while regional deliveries attract a flat $250 fee. Delivery is not available to Tasmania, the Northern Territory, or some remote areas.
You can see the full Dusk&Dawn range in ‘real life’ in our video review here:
Because each mattress is tailor-made, delivery times are longer than standard bed-in-a-box brands. As a guide:
- VIC / NSW metro: 7–14 working days
- QLD metro: 10–16 working days
- SA / WA metro: 14–21 working days
- Regional: up to 2–4 weeks, depending on location
For faster turnaround, Dusk&Dawn offers ‘Quick Shipping’ on queen and king sizes (Comfy Medium). These typically arrive in:
- VIC: 4–6 working days
- NSW / QLD: 6–8 working days
- SA: 12–15 working days
- WA: 2–3 working days
Every order includes white glove delivery as standard. A two-person team will bring the mattress into your home, place it directly on your bed base, and remove the packaging. For metro customers, there is also an old mattress removal service available for $120.
Because the Signature arrives full size (not rolled or boxed), we recommend ensuring you have clear access through doorways and hallways before delivery. Our Dusk&Dawn Signature arrived in immaculate condition, thanks to two thick layers of plastic wrapping.
To this point, there will be a fair amount of packaging (mostly plastic) to dispose of. So, some planning may be required in terms of disposal or bin space.
Aesthetics and Presentation
What does it look like in real life?
The Dusk&Dawn Signature Mattress has a bold and luxurious presence. At 38cm high, it sits taller than most standard mattresses, giving it a substantial and premium look in the bedroom.
The colour scheme combines a crisp white top panel with black side panels, creating a sharp, modern contrast. Around the base, the textured black fabric adds depth and sophistication, while the 3D mesh gusset around the comfort layers enhances breathability and gives a sense of technical quality.
Branding is tastefully executed, with the Dusk&Dawn logo band running along the side in shades of deep blue and purple, and the “Signature” label positioned neatly alongside an “Australian Made” emblem. These details reinforce the mattress’s premium positioning and proudly Australian-made credentials.
Overall, the Dusk&Dawn Signature exudes quality, refinement, and durability. It will not only elevate the look of a bedroom but also signals the craftsmanship and attention to detail that sits behind the build.
Mattress construction
What’s inside the Dusk&Dawn Signature Mattress?
The Dusk&Dawn Signature is built using multiple comfort layers and a dual pocket spring system, all designed and handcrafted in Australia.
1. Comfort-Stretch Premium Fabric & 3D Mesh Gusset
The outer cover features a soft, high-quality knit fabric that feels luxurious to touch. A 3D mesh gusset is integrated into the side panels, helping air circulate and keeping the mattress cool.
2. Premium Dusk Air Technology
This advanced comfort layer is durable, breathable, and designed to resist body impressions. Its moisture-dissipating and thermo-regulating properties help maintain an even sleep temperature throughout the year.
3. Eco-Air Comfort Technology
Another highly breathable layer that improves airflow and assists with temperature control, reducing the chance of overheating.
4. Graph-Tek Memory Foam
Italian-made memory foam infused with graphite minerals for enhanced breathability, antimicrobial protection, and superior pressure relief.
5. Premium Breathe Tech Comfort Foam
A dual-layer transitional foam that creates a smoother, more balanced feel while maximising airflow.
6. ISO Coil Mini – 5 Zone Micro Pocket Springs
A layer of finely tuned micro coils that contour closely to the body. These provide zoned pressure relief and allow air to flow efficiently through the mattress.
7. ISO Coil 5 Zone Pocket Spring System
The main support core features over 1,600 individually encased springs (queen size). These provide targeted support across five zones, minimising partner disturbance and promoting spinal alignment.
8. Power Edge Support
A firm foam encasement runs around the entire mattress perimeter, giving excellent edge support and maximising the usable sleep surface.
9. Premium Outer Fabric Shell
A robust and stylish outer shell finishes the mattress, combining durability with a sleek, modern look.
Comfort and support
What’s it like to sleep on the Dusk&Dawn Signature?
As mentioned earlier, the Dusk&Dawn Signature comes in 3 firmness options – firm, medium, or plush (soft).
The Comfort-Stretch Premium Fabric feels soft, smooth, and should allow plenty of ventilation.
The firm version is surprisingly comfortable, and absorbs body weight smoothly. As you would expect though, it is still firm and supportive.
This mattress should suit all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers) but understandably, its suitability will vary between individuals.
By majority vote, our expert reviewers settled on a 7 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Firm version
Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort. Mattresses with the same firmness level can also feel quite different.
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 Dusk&Dawn Signature on the Koala Balmain Bed Base which is a good quality bed base with flat panel slats.
The medium version of this mattress is exceptionally comfortable and body weight is absorbed smoothly and evenly.
The medium version should suit most side sleepers but it should also suit back sleepers and stomach sleepers. Again, this suitability will vary between individuals.
Our expert reviewers settled on a 5.5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Medium version
Again, our firmness ratings are just a guide.
As you would expect, the plush version is noticeably soft and ‘cloud like’. It would be very suitable for those who like an unmistakable soft feel to their mattress.
This plush version would be most suited to side sleepers but it may also suit back sleepers and stomach sleepers. Again, this suitability will vary between individuals.
By majority vote, our team settled on a 3.5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Plush version
The ISO Coil 5 Zone Pocket Spring System feels strong, sturdy, and well balanced. Changing sleep positions requires little effort, as this spring system responds magnificently to normal sleep movements.
In terms of spinal support, this mattress is outstanding. It should accommodate people of all sizes, and we didn’t detect any undesirable dipping or sinking.
The spring system in the Dusk&Dawn Signature responds well to normal sleep movements and we rated its level of responsiveness as optimal. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) shouldn’t be any trouble.
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
What else should I know?
The Dusk&Dawn Signature Mattress is superbly constructed, with finishes that reflect its premium positioning.
Its outer fabric shell feels durable, and the 3D Mesh Breathable Gusset around the comfort layers demonstrates thoughtful attention to ventilation and airflow.
As mentioned earlier, at 38cm high, the Signature sits taller than most mattresses on the market. You’ll likely need deep-fitting sheets, such as Koala’s Deep Fit Sheets, or a ‘super queen’ size (45–50cm depth) for the queen version to achieve a proper fit.
Strong, securely stitched side handles are included on all models in the range. These make rotating or repositioning the mattress easier, though at around 60kg for a queen, two people are recommended. The heavy build reflects the robust double pocket spring system inside.
Edge support is excellent thanks to the Power Edge Support encasement, giving stability across the entire surface. As with most mattress ranges, the firm version feels most solid at the edges.
The Dusk&Dawn Signature Mattress is superbly constructed, with finishes that reflect its premium positioning.
Partner disturbance is minimal overall, though some light motion transfer is present. Larger sizes (like king or super king) generally absorb movement more effectively, while the size and weight of each sleeper will also influence disturbance levels.
In terms of health and hygiene, the Dusk&Dawn Signature Mattress is well certified. Its comfort foams and fabrics carry the Global Green Tag certification – one of the world’s most trusted eco labels. Other components are also certified by OEKO-TEX®, ensuring safety and non-toxicity.
Additionally, the fabric incorporates Virase® technology, which adds an antiviral effect for a cleaner sleep environment.

Bed base compatibility
What type of bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Dusk&Dawn Signature to be used on a bed base with flat panel slats or solid slats such as the Dusk&Dawn Liquorice Bedhead & Base.
Dusk&Dawn Liquorice Bedhead & Base
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 may void the mattress warranty.
Furthermore, we do not recommend this mattress to be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base as this may void the warranty. 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.
Comfort guarantee and warranty
What happens if I don’t like it?
The Dusk&Dawn Signature comes with a 100 night comfort guarantee, allowing you to properly test it in your own home.
Customers must keep the mattress for at least 30 nights to allow their body to adjust. If you’re still not satisfied between nights 31–100, Dusk&Dawn will collect your mattress and adjust the firmness free of charge.
If, after trialling the adjusted mattress for a further 30 nights, you remain unhappy, a full refund can be requested.
In addition, the mattress is backed by a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty, covering defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty period is in line with many other premium mattresses in Australia and reflects Dusk&Dawn’s confidence in their handcrafted design.
Available sizes
What size options are available?
The Dusk&Dawn Signature Mattress is available in all 7 sizes (super king, king, queen, double, king single, long single and single) so it should suit all sleeping arrangements.
Its super king size option is noteworthy, as only a handful of online mattresses are available in this size.
