Purchase and delivery
As with other mattresses in a box, you can order the Mornington Medium Mattress online (through the Original Mattress Factory website) and it will be delivered to your door.
Delivery costs of the Mornington Medium Mattress will vary depending on location. A typical delivery cost to Melbourne metro or Sydney metro is around $100.
Removing the Mornington Medium Mattress from its packaging should take around 10-15 minutes. As always, we recommend having two people available to unpack a mattress in a box.
Keep in mind that there will be a substantial amount of packaging (cardboard and plastic) to dispose of. So, some planning may be required along with plenty of bin space.
As per our standard testing process, we gave the mattress 24 hours to decompress before we conducted our testing.
The Mornington Medium Mattress presents well with a modern, stylish appearance. It sits 28.5cm high which is well within normal range for an innerspring mattress.
The mattress uses a white and grey colour theme as well product name embroidery, at the base.
Along with the mattress, the box includes an information booklet.
Mattress construction
As mentioned above, the Mornington Medium Mattress is an innerspring mattress and contains a sophisticated comfort layer.
1. Organic Cotton Stretch Cover
The top cover of this mattress is made of an Organic Cotton Stretch night organic fabric that is soft, breathable and comfortable.
2. Gel infused visco memory foam
Sitting under the organic cotton cover is a layer of Gel infused visco memory foam. This is added to provide a pressure relieving comfort layer.
3. Premium foam layers
Additional premium foam layers are also included for further comfort.
4. Flex 5-Zone Pocket Springs
The main support system of the Mornington Medium Mattress is a Flex 5-Zone pocket spring system. This structure has 2 outer rows firmer for support.
5. Full foam box
A full foam box acts as a sturdy perimeter enhancement.
Comfort and support
The organic cover feels thick and breathable. This top layer is a little uneven due to the stitching pattern but with sheets and/or a mattress protector, this shouldn’t be too noticeable.
The comfort layers blend together well to produce a spongy, but comfortable feel. The mattress absorbs body weight smoothly and has plenty of pressure relief.
This mattress should suit all sleeping positions (side sleepers, back sleepers, and stomach sleepers), but understandably its suitability may vary between individuals.
When it comes to a specific firmness rating, all of our reviewers agreed that this mattress has a medium feel. By majority vote, we settled on a 5.5 / 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 Mornington Medium Mattress on the Chiropedic Bed Base which is a good quality bed base with rigid slats.
The Flex 5-Zone pocket spring on this mattress feel sturdy and reliable. They should provide good back support for most people and we certainly didn’t detect any sagging or dipping.
Based on the quality of these springs, we would expect this mattress to accommodate people of most sizes.
The Mornington Medium Mattress responds 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 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 Mornington Medium Mattress is commendable. The quality of the foams and fabrics is of a good standard, as is the quality of the stitching and finishings.
The comfort layers blend together well to produce a spongy, but comfortable feel.
Even though the Mornington Medium Mattress is an innerspring mattress, the mattress isolates motion quite well. Partner disturbance is present, but 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.
Unfortunately, the Mornington Medium Mattress doesn’t comes with side handles. Side handles will almost always make moving or transporting a mattress easier.
The full foam box produces decent edge support. So, the mattress perimeter should provide reliable strength during sleep and sitting activities.
We really liked the satin-like fabric around the sides of the mattress. This gives the mattress a touch of style and luxury.
It’s worth noting here that the foams used in the Mornington Medium Mattress are certified as non-toxic by CertiPUR-US®. This certification indicates that the foams have been tested for harmful substances, and are safe for babies and toddlers.
What bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Mornington 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 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.
The Mornington Medium Mattress can 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 Mornington Medium Mattress comes with a 30 comfort guarantee. This means that you can exchange your mattress if you are not satisfied (conditions do apply).
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 6 sizes (king, queen, double, king single, long single, and single) so it should accommodate most sleeping arrangements.
Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2024.
Final verdict
The Mornington Medium Mattress is a nice mattress that hits a sweet spot in terms of comfort and value. Its comfort guarantee, warranty, and non-toxic certifications are also noteworthy.
