Sherman Mattress ‘Just Perfect’ Review
The Sherman Mattress (‘Just Perfect’ version) is an excellent mattress that was awarded Australia’s ‘Best Value’ Mattress in 2021. Not surprisingly, our expert team considers this mattress as one of the best options on the Australian market.
The Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) forms the ‘medium’ feel version of the Sherman mattress range, that also includes a firm (Firm but Fair) and a plush (Full Body Hug) version.
Purchase and delivery
All Sherman mattresses can be conveniently ordered online through the Sherman website. Delivery is free and can be delivered to most places in Australia (check your postcode here). Sherman has an excellent delivery service, and is very accommodating with days and times that suit the customer (see mattress prices and delivery times below).
To get a really good look at this mattress in ‘real life’, check out our video review here:
*Please note: the information in this video was current at the time of filming. Sherman still offers a free woven cloth storage bag (with each mattress purchase), but no longer issues a free mattress protector.
Unlike most mattresses that can be purchased online, the Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) doesn’t come compressed in a box, so you wont need to wait for it to ‘decompress’ before sleeping on it.
Sherman has a special ‘white glove’ delivery service where your mattress will be placed carefully into your home, even if you have several flights of stairs (please note, Melbourne metro suburbs – ‘non-contact’ delivery only, see full details below).
Comfort and support
On first appearance, the Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) has a distinct modern, elegant style. As with all Sherman mattresses, the top cover is made from a mix of cotton and polyester. This layer feels soft and smooth, and gives the mattress a luxurious vibe.
This top cover sits over a layer of memory foam and premium foam, both of which help to absorb body weight very nicely. This comfort layer offers lovely pressure relief without any sagging or dipping.
Our team rated it as a ‘medium’ feel and a 6 / 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.
All Sherman mattresses use a robust pocket spring system that offers excellent support, and should accomodate people of all sizes. This support system also has a nice level of responsiveness, and is noticeably easy to change sleeping positions.
The finer details
All Sherman Mattresses have a high level of craftsmanship and refinement. Edge support is sound and partner disturbance is minimal. Sherman also offers a 100 night trial period and a 10 year warranty, so you have plenty of peace of mind when you buy.
In terms of health, all Sherman mattresses are well certified as non-toxic by CertiPUR-US® which is one of the world’s leading authorities in foam testing.
Available sizes
The Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) is available in 5 sizes (king, queen, double, king single, and single) so it should suit almost all adult sleeping situations. Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2021. This mattress also comes with a free woven cloth storage bag, perfect for future storage or transport.
Final verdict
The Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) is an outstanding ‘all round’ mattress that offers incredible value. It easily compares to many retail store mattresses double its price, and is well-backed with a 100 night trial period.

I have this mattress and it’s just PERFECT. I had terrible back and hip problems from a Sealy bed but this has stopped all the pain! It’s just remarkable. I wish they did singles too! They best mattress at the most insane price!!!!
Hi Lucy, that’s great to hear! Very happy you love your Sherman Just Perfect Mattress. Thanks for the feedback. The Bedbuyer team.
Hi, I bought the just perfect for my son. Took me ages to get the right mattress for the right price … and get it delivered as promised.
Sherman’s team did a great job, despite lockdown, now everyone’s happy.
Thank you! and I know where I’ll be heading when my mattress needs replacing. 😊👍
Hi Therese, thanks for your comment and feedback.
Very glad to hear that your son likes his Sherman Just Perfect. Always here if you need any further assistance 🙂

Hi Lucy
Could you tell me if after 6 months of using your sherman just perfect the feeling is still the same or the mattress feels softer and sagging?
Thanks a lot
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer.
Sorry to hear that you’ve felt your Sherman Mattress is sagging. If you believe it is defective, we would recommend contacting Sherman to explore a possible warranty claim. Sherman’s warranty document is linked here.
Let us know how you go and happy to discuss alternative options.
Kind regards,
The Bedbuyer team
Thank you for the review. I am a side sleeper, comparing Sleeping Duck with Sherman Just Perfect double size.
I like that the Sherman is considerably lighter and slightly thinner, but the warranty seems lacking as it only covers sag over 50 mm.. not so confidence inspiring. Any thoughts deciding between these two?
Hi Mary,
Either the Sherman Just Perfect or Sleeping Duck (Medium version) would be nice options for side sleepers. As you said, Sherman don’t cover for body impressions less than 50mm. Sleeping Duck cover for body impressions beyond 30mm. Keep in mind though that body impressions are very normal and not necessarily a bad thing.
The warranty details aside, the Sherman Just Perfect would be a very nice one to start with. Great value and very comfortable.
Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries.

Hi guys , need some advise and information please. I have severe back pain and am a side and back sleeper .I do not like a very soft mattress and conversely a very firm also increases my pain .Am considering the firm but fair as I do like a more supportive feel. 1/ do I have to buy the base too, I already have a slat base ..2 / If I find the mattress unsuitable can I return the mattress or do I have to exchange for another mattress. I am in Brisbane and would need the mattress to be taken to bedroom (assuming of course that we are not in lock down) we hope . I have literally spent thousands on mattresses /beds and really cannot afford to loose more money . Looking forward to your response , regards ,Maggie
Hi Maggie,
Happy to help! Sorry to hear about your severe back pain. In answer to your questions:
1. If you have a slat base that is in good condition (and the slats are not more than about 8cm apart), it should be OK. Having said that, you may want to consider a solid ensemble base or bed frame (such as the Sleep Republic Pro Base) as this will provide a more stable foundation for your mattress.
2. If you find the Sherman Mattress unsuitable, you can either exchange it for another firmness option, or get a full refund.
3. Our understanding is that Sherman can place the mattress into your bedroom (as per their FAQ page linked here).
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.

Hi, wow man just discovered this review from your site, Sherman have 5 stars :0, after checking your other reviews so tough to decide on a mattress, I’m thinking of buying two different mattress and since it’s got the 100 day trial.. I can really decide after that lol. Anyway, if you had to choose between Sherman, egroflex and sleeping duck, which would it be? And why? Also what do you think about the zzz atelier going for 300 on eBay, other online sites really rave em. This is also in my consideration. Thanks for your great work here 🙂
Hi Tani,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!
It’s difficult to say which mattress we would choose for you (from these options) as each person has a different body shape and firmness preference. As you saw from our reviews though, we did rate the Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) very highly. It has a lovely, medium feel and offers excellent value. If you wanted something a bit more ‘firm and dense’ the Ergoflex is a nice option, and the Sleeping Duck has a very handy ‘customisable’ design.
In regards to buying two mattresses and returning one, that’s not really in the spirit of the trial periods. These companies kindly offer customers a ‘back up’ if the mattress really doesn’t suit, but it is not designed for customers to order multiple mattresses to see what is the best. Keep in mind also that returning a mattress for a refund will involve some time and organisation on your part, and due to COVID-19, there may be a delay in terms of collection from charities.
In regards to the Zzz Atelier on eBay, we aren’t sure exactly what mattress this is (we have tested some of their mattresses that sell through their website) so we wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending those off eBay.
Hope that helps and would love to hear what you decide on!

I can sleep well on just about anything so long as it does not retain body heat. For some time I have slept uncomfortably hot on a memory foam mattress with a US purchased NASA developed heat dissipating fabric topper. The topper has proven to be useless for preventing heat retention despite living in a cool climate. I have read that hybrid mattresses are good for hot sleepers but I see no mention of the heat retention issue above or in any of Sherman’s advertising. What do they have to say on this vital aspect?
Hi Geoff,
Great question and happy to help!
Spring mattresses (like the Sherman Mattress) tend to be better than full foam mattresses for temperature regulation as they allow for better ventilation and air-flow. Sherman does allude to this in their FAQ but it’s worth noting that sleep temperature can be complex and may depend on a number of factors, not just the mattress.
Our article Australia’s Top 5 Mattresses for Hot Sleepers in 2020 also includes some other handy cooling devices, so this would be worth checking out!
Hope that helps but please let us know if you have any further queries.

Hello Team
My hubby and I have had a water bed for over 20 years and we love it, however, we would like to transition to a mattress and base your advice on what mattress you recommend.
Cheers
Anne
Hi Anne,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!
We have just sent you an email to discuss some options.
The Bedbuyer team
Hi Team,
I can not decide between Sherman “Just Perfect” and Sleeping Duck “Medium”. Any suggestion? Thanks.
Hi Ken,
It really comes down to whether or not you will use the ‘customisation’ feature of the Sleeping Duck Mattress. This is discussed in our full review linked here.
If you don’t think you will use the customisation, the Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) is a great buy.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.

Hi
My partner and I are both hot sleepers (and live in Queensland!!!) I also have scoliosis and prefer something that isn’t too firm. Initially we had been looking at the Koala mattress but are now tossing up between the Sherman ‘Just Perfect’ and the Sleep Republic mattresses. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Tee,
Happy to help. Sleep Temperature can be complex with many factors involved (e.g. partner, humidity, mattress, pillow etc). So it’s really hard to predict whether a mattress will ‘sleep hot’ or not.
With that said, the Sleep Republic Mattress may be a little better in terms of cooling, simply because it is not as soft as the Sherman Just Perfect (more foam can accumulate more heat). So the Sleep Republic Mattress would be a sensible option for you. Our full review (with video review and discount code) is linked here.
Hope that gives you some direction but please let us know how you go!

Hey guys
My partner and I are trying to decide on a new mattress. She is suggesting the seals posturepedic, but I am interested in the Sherman range or another online brand. I am a side sleeper and have light allergies. What would you recommend for a medium level of firmness
Hi Ryan,
We don’t generally rate Sealy Posturepedic mattresses too well. Their spring systems tend to be quite unstable.
The Sleeping Duck Mattress (Medium) would be a good medium feel option. Very good mattress that is well certified as non-toxic. You can jump straight to their shop page here or read our full review (with video review) on this link here.
The Noa Mattress is a less expensive alternative that would be worth considering also. You can jump straight to their shop page here or read our full review (with video review) on this link here.
Hope that gives you some direction but would love to hear how you go!

I purchased a Just Perfect mattress in the second half of last year and am so happy with .Good on you Sherman for producing such a comfortable mattress.Ten out of ten
Hi Jeanne,
Thanks for the feedback and great to hear you love your Sherman Mattress. We did too!
The Bedbuyer team
Hello Bedbuyer team,
I have trawled through this site and the Sherman website to find if their mattresses are Australian made – I know they are an Australian company, however, I can’t find anywhere on either site where it specifically states the mattresses are Aussie made. Apologies if the answer is obvious, I clearly am not reading properly if that’s the case.
Thank you in advance!
Hi Jame,
Sherman is an Australian company and their mattresses are made responsibly in China. Sherman gives detailed information about this in their FAQ section:
We manufacture our mattresses in Guangzhou, China. This is not just to save you money but because this particular area is considered to be the leading mattress manufacturing area in the world. We employ specialist, highly-trained mattress construction experts and use the best quality components that we can get our hands on, like fully certified CertiPUR-US foam.
Hope that helps but please let us know if you would like to discuss further.
The Bedbuyer team
Thank you so much for confirming!
Hello mattress experts😘
I’ve come from pocket springs, side sleep, tend to head to the sides so need side support, need to be cool, and get cranky if it’s too firm. I didn’t do well on the koala, my teenager inherited that just last week (I felt like it was a slab, very hot & I rolled off which was weird and a bit funny…my young person loves it tho) I have found you and I am wondering what my better option would be between the sleep republic & the Sherman just perfect. I do love the pocket spring system over the foam I feel like its better for cooling.
Thanks heaps for your help
Hi Annie,
We certainly agree that pocket spring mattresses (e.g. Sleep Republic and Sherman) will generally give better cooling / ventilation than foam mattresses such as Koala.
For your situation, we would lean towards the Sleep Republic Mattress as it has slightly better edge support than the Sherman and you could argue that it is better ventilated. The Sleep Republic Mattress is slightly firmer than the Sherman (Just Perfect), but it should still offer plenty of comfort.
For your reference, you can jump straight to the Sleep Republic shop page here or the Sherman shop page here.
If you’re open to buying from a retail store, the Silent Night London (Medium) from Beds n Dreams would also be a very nice option. Our full review is linked here.
Hope that gives you some guidance but please let us know how you go!
