Purchase and delivery
The Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress can be ordered online, through the Sleep Doctor website (which will be updated shortly).
This mattress can also be viewed and tested in any of Sleep Doctor’s stores across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, and the Australian Capital Territory.
Delivery of the Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress is free to all capital cities and most regional areas. Delivery charges will apply to customers in the Northern Territory, northern parts of Queensland, and northern parts of Western Australia.
The mattress arrived in a robust cardboard box along with thick plastic packaging. Presumably, this is to keep the mattress well protected during transport.
Removing the Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress from its packaging will take around 10-15 minutes. We recommend having two people available to unpack this mattress, especially with larger sizes (e.g. king and queen).
You will need to consider the substantial amount of packaging in terms of waste disposal and recycling. The packaging may not fit in standard size council bins, unless it is cut up into smaller pieces.
In terms of aesthetics, the Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress presents with an attractive, classic style. It sits 36cm high and uses a black and white colour theme, as well as teal coloured embroidery at the base.
Mattress construction
The Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress contains a number of components.
1. SensIce Tencel Fabric
The top cover contains a SensIce Tencel fabric. This breakthrough fabric technology is able to move heat way from the sleeper but doesn’t feel cold. So, it is perfect for all seasons.
SensIce technology keeps the fabric cool for the first 5 minutes (approximately) which is often enough time to help most people fall asleep.
Tencel fibres are derived from wood pulp and manufactured in a way that makes them soft but highly durable.
2. Airscape® Quilting Foam
Underneath the top cover is a layer of premium quilting foam. This is soft to touch yet highly resilient.
3. Thermal Memory Foam
The next layer in this mattress is a Graphene Memory Foam. Graphene is a natural conductor of heat so it absorbs body heat to help keep you cooler. When weight is applied, the Graphene particles compress together to allow conductive heat transfer.
This unique, open cell memory foam enhances airflow and breathability by up to 95%.
4. Luftstrom® Cool Science
These strips are perhaps the most notable component of this mattress.
These Luftstrom strips are placed in between the Graphene Memory Foam and comfort layer using water based glue. They run side to side and are aluminium infused with graphite. Luftstrom strips naturally draw heat away from the sleeper dispersing the heat to the outside of the mattress.
5. Comfort Layer
This comfort layer is a high density premium foam that provides a medium comfort level.
6. Honeycomb Nested Pocket in Pocket Spring System
This sophisticated spring system forms the main support structure of the Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress. Extra springs in the shoulder area are designed to improve circulation and firmer springs in the lumbar area are added to enhance spinal support.
It’s nested honeycomb design, helps to maximise comfort and longevity.
7. Border Shield
This Edge Support System creates superior side support around the perimeter of the mattress. This protects against roll-out, so you sleep safer and more comfortably.
Comfort and support
The Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress has a foamy feel that seems to hug your body as you get settled into position.
Despite a slight sense of dipping, it absorbs body weight evenly and there is plenty of pressure relief.
This mattress will likely suit most side sleepers and stomach sleepers but it may also suit back sleepers. Understandably though, this suitability may vary between individuals.
In terms of firmness, all of our reviewers agreed that this mattress has a comfortable, medium feel. By majority vote, we settled on a 6 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).
Firmness rating
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 Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress on the Koala Brunswick Bed Base which is a good quality bed base with rigid slats.
The spring system feels solid and offers excellent spinal support. And with ‘no maximum weight capacity’, we would expect that the mattress can accommodate people of all sizes.
Based on our testing, the Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress regulates sleep temperature well.
Sleep temperature can be complex with many factors involved, but the materials in this product (specifically the SensIce Tencel Fabric and the Luftstrom strips), kept this mattress at a comfortable sleep temperature during our assessment.
As indicated in the product information, we didn’t notice that the SensIce Tencel fabric on top felt particularly cool.
In terms of responsiveness, this mattress responds fairly well to normal sleep movements and we rated its level of responsiveness in the optimal zone. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) shouldn’t be too much 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 build quality of the Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress is excellent. The quality of the stitching and finishings is sound and there is strong evidence of attention to detail in its design.
Like with all mattresses, we tested partner disturbance thoroughly. This mattress isolates movement well and although partner movements are noticeable, they certainly are not significant.
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 Border Shield edge support system is impressive and the mattress perimeter is noticeably strong. This will allow the user to use the entire surface of the mattress without the fear of rolling off the edge. Similarly, the edge will provide a solid surface for sitting.
The Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress has large, easy to use side handles that are vertically positioned. These side handles are stitched on strongly and will make moving or transporting this mattress, easier.
The Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress has a fairly high profile height of 36cm so you may need deep fitting sheets such as the Ecoy Cooling Bamboo Sheets.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium 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 do not recommend the Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress to be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base. 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.
Trial period and warranty
The Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress comes with a 90 night trial period, which is a typical trial period in the online mattress market. This means that you can return the mattress for a refund if you are not satisfied.
It’s worth mentioning that there is a minimum 30 day adjustment period before you can request a return of Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress. Return shipping is also the responsibility of the customer.
This mattress also comes with a 10 year guarantee to cover any faulty materials or workmanship. This is a typical warranty period in context of similarly priced competitors.
Available sizes
This mattress is available in 6 sizes (super king, king, queen, double, king single, and single) so it should accommodate most adult sleeping arrangements.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2024.
Final verdict
The Luftstrom Thermoflow Comfort Medium Mattress is a high quality mattress that exhibits impressive levels of quality and modern technology.
Although sleep temperature can be complex, this mattress would be a sensible option for those who struggle with heat during sleep.
