Ortho Balance Mattress Review
The Ortho Balance Mattress is one of the cheapest options in the Australian mattress market. It has a (very) firm feel and comes with a 2 year warranty.
Purchase and delivery
As with other mattress in a box options, the Ortho Balance Mattress can be conveniently ordered online (through the Mobile Mattress website) and it will arrive at your door in a box. Delivery is free, and Mobile Mattress deliver Australia wide.
As usual, we recommend having two people available to unpack a mattress in a box, although it is still possible with one person. We would also allow 24 hours to pass (to allow for decompression) before sleeping on this mattress.
Comfort and support
The Ortho Balance Mattress has a comfort layer that consists of a knitted fabric cover and luxury comfort foam. As you would expect (based on the price), this top section does feel basic with only a modest level of comfort.
Based on our testing, our team rated it as a ‘firm’ feel and an 8.5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest). Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.
Under the comfort layer of the Ortho Balance Mattress lies a 3 zone pocket spring system. This offers reasonable back support, but the spring unit does feel a bit cheap. Nevertheless, it is still fairly responsive and should accommodate people of all sizes.
The finer details
The overall build quality of this mattress is basic. With that said, edge support is fair and although partner disturbance is present, it will depend on the size of the occupants. It’s also worth noting here that the Ortho Balance Mattress has a 2 year warranty.
The Ortho Balance Mattress is one of the cheapest options in the Australian mattress market.
Please note that we do not recommend the Ortho Balance 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.
Available sizes
This mattress is available in 4 sizes (queen, double, king single, and single) so it should accommodate most sleeping situations.

The Ortho Balance
The Ortho Balance Mattress is stylish, fun and a little on the firm side. I will support the dreams of back sleepers mainly, and if you get hot at night, I can help keep you cool.
Orthopaedic support
As my name suggests, the Ortho Balance Mattress has been designed with the ideal balance and comfort in mind. My breathable top layer makes me a firm favourite for those looking for a quality mattress without the hefty price tag.
3 Zone pocket spring
The Ortho Balance Mattress has a 3-Zone Layered Pocket Spring System. This works throughout three individual sections of the mattress and provides you support for the shoulders, lower back and hips, which will help you wake up feeling rejuvenated.
Sleep soundly
The Ortho Balance Mattress is versatile and can fit into any room thanks to my packaging, and will give any room a try if you’re game. Featuring premium knitted fibres for added support and luxury peel foam for long-lasting comfort.
Great sleep, simplified
The Ortho Balance Mattress has hypo-allergenic materials that resist the growth of dust mites, bacteria, and mould. With my excellent breathable fabric, I have superb ventilation, so you do not have to flip me.
