How do I buy the Sleep Republic LUXE Mattress?

Delivery to metro areas typically takes 1–3 business days. For regional and remote areas, delivery timeframes may extend to 3–7 business days depending on location.

Aesthetics and Presentation
What does it look like in real life?
The Sleep Republic LUXE Mattress has a clean and refined appearance. The top surface features a smooth, soft, silver-infused fabric with a subtle pattern, and the mesh side fabric gives and edgy, expensive looking finish.
The mattress uses the traditional Sleep Republic colours – white, black, and blue. The mattress stands at 33cm high, which is taller than most mattresses in a box – giving it a sense of substance and premium construction.
Mattress construction
What’s inside the Sleep Republic LUXE Mattress?
This is a multi-layered hybrid mattress, blending advanced foams with a high-definition spring unit.
1. Silver-Infused Fabric Cover
The breathable outer cover is infused with silver for a naturally cool, antibacterial surface.
2. Comfort Layers
The comfort system includes:
-
GI+ Memory Foam – gel-infused memory foam for pressure relief and cooling.
- EcoRest™ Bio Foam – eco-conscious foam that reduces toxins and provides adaptive cushioning.
-
Kinetiq™ Dynamic Foam – responsive foam that absorbs movement and distributes pressure evenly.
-
ECOLAY™ Natural Latex – breathable and responsive latex with thousands of ventilation holes.
3. 7-Zone HD Pocket Spring System
The core is made up of up to 2,500 high-definition pocket springs arranged into seven support zones. These zones offer precise support for different parts of the body (head, back, hips, legs), helping to maintain spinal alignment.
4. Dynamic Edge Support
Higher tension springs around the perimeter help prevent sagging and improve edge stability.
Comfort and support
What’s it like to sleep on the Sleep Republic LUXE Mattress?
The top surface of the mattress feels smooth, soft, and luxurious. The quality of this fabric is admirable and gives the mattress a sense of opulence.
The mattress has an abundance of softness and pressure relief, with the comfort layers absorbing body evenly.
All of our expert reviewers agreed on the firmness level, with a consensus rating of 5 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest). We would classify this mattress as ‘medium’.
Firmness rating
This firmness profile should suit all sleeping positions – side, back, and stomach sleepers, but it should particularly suit side sleepers. The spring system feels strong and stable and should offer excellent back support for most people.
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 Sleep Republic Luxe Mattress on the Chiropedic Bed Base which is a good quality bed base with rigid slats.
The Sleep Republic Luxe Mattress responds well to normal sleep movements and we rated its responsiveness in the optimal zone. In basic terms, this means that changing sleep positions (and intimate activities) shouldn’t require much effort.
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
What else should I know?
The build quality of the Sleep Republic Luxe Mattress is excellent – and many would be surprised that a mattress of this quality can be compressed into a box. It feels well-made and the materials appear durable and of high quality.
Motion isolation was commendable so a restless partner shouldn’t cause much disruption.
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 build quality of the Sleep Republic Luxe Mattress is excellent.
The mattress feels stable and supportive across the entire surface, with little roll-off sensation near the edge – a good indicator of good edge support.
We didn’t detect any abnormal heat retention during our testing. The silver-infused fabric cover and innerspring system allowed for good airflow, which should help prevent the mattress from sleeping hot.
Keep in mind though that sleep temperature can be complex and involves many factors (e.g. type of mattress, pillow, clothing, sheets, room temperature, humidity, medical conditions, occupants of the bed etc).
Furthermore, soft mattresses tend to be warmer (than firm mattresses) as the thick layers of foam can trap heat during sleep.
The mattress includes four horizontal side handles (two per side), which are stitched securely and provide ample grip. Side handles will almost always make it easier to carry and transport a mattress.
It’s worth noting here that the foams used in the Sleep Republic LUXE Mattress are CertiPUR-US® certified, so it contains no harmful chemicals or heavy metals.

Bed base compatibility
What type of bed base should I use?
As with most mattresses, we recommend the Sleep Republic Luxe 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.
We don’t recommend the Sleep Republic Luxe Mattress be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base. as this may cause damage to the mattress components. 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
What happens if I don’t like it?
The Sleep Republic Luxe Mattress comes with a 150 night trial period, which is superior to a typical trial period (of 100 nights) in the online mattress market.
Sleep Republic does ask that you try the mattress for at least 14 days to allow your body to adjust to the new mattress.
This trial period means that you can return the mattress for a refund if you are not satisfied. Conditions do apply though, for example regional and rural customers may be charged a return shipping fee which will be deducted from your refund.
This mattress also comes with a 12 year warranty to cover any faulty materials or workmanship. This is also a superior warranty period compared with similarly priced competitors.
Available sizes
What size options are available?
This mattress is available in 3 sizes (king, queen, and double) so it should accommodate most sleeping arrangements.
The graphic below includes all of Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2025. Again please note that the Sleep Republic Luxe Mattress is available in 3 of these sizes.
