Sleep Republic Mattress Review
The Sleep Republic Mattress was awarded Australia’s ‘Best Overall’ Mattress in a Box in 2021. As you would expect, our expert review team considers this as the premier bed in a box on the market.
Purchase and delivery
As with other mattress in a box products, the Sleep Republic Mattress can be conveniently ordered online (through the Sleep Republic website) and will be delivered to your door in a compact box.
Delivery is free and the mattress can be delivered Australia wide. Sleep Republic has one of the best delivery services on the market and can do ‘same day delivery’ to many major cities (see delivery times in ‘Delivery’ section below).
The mattress was easy to remove from its packaging, and as usual, we recommend having two people available to unpack a mattress in a box. Unpacking the Sleep Republic Mattress takes 5-10 minutes, and we allowed 24 hours for the mattress to decompress before testing.
You can see this mattress in ‘real life’ in our video review here:
Aesthetically, the Sleep Republic Mattress presents beautifully. It combines simplicity with modern style, and gives off a distinct touch of luxury. Its brand name label and embroidery also give off plenty of class.
Comfort and support
Perhaps even more impressive is just how nice this mattress is to sleep on. The top cover (of cashmere knitted fabric) feels smooth and luxurious. This cover sits over a 30mm layer of gel infused memory foam and a 30mm layer of 100% natural latex. In combination, these layers provide lovely pressure relief.
Our team rated it as a ‘medium / firm’ feel and a 7 / 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.
Sitting below the comfort layer, is Sleep Republic’s signature ‘high definition’ pocket spring system. This support system contains 1,850 individual springs, more than double that of a standard Queen size mattress. With such a high spring count, this mattress provides exceptional spinal support, and partner disturbance is very minimal.
Our expert review team considers this as the premier bed in a box on the market.
The Sleep Republic Mattress is easy to ‘move around’ in, and responds beautifully to normal body movements during sleep. Quite simply, this mattress has a lovely balance of comfort and support.
Sleep Republic’s ‘High Definition’ Pocket Spring System
The finer details
Overall build quality and craftsmanship of the Sleep Republic Mattress is outstanding. It feels solid and stable and should suit people of all sizes. Edge support is excellent, thanks to the high tensile springs on the mattress perimeter.
Sleep Republic offers a 100 night trial period and a 12 year warranty. It is also well certified as non-toxic by CertiPUR-US®, one of the world’s leading authorities in foam and fabric testing.
Please note that we do not recommend the Sleep Republic 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
The Sleep Republic Mattress is available in 6 sizes (king, queen, double, king single, long single, and single size) which is one of the most comprehensive size collections in the online market. Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2021.
Final verdict
The Sleep Republic Mattress is an outstanding mattress that is considered by our expert review team as the premier mattress in a box in Australia. It is perfectly balanced with comfort and support, and is competitively priced. Congratulations to Sleep Republic – a worthy award winner in 2021!

We apologise if this causes any inconvenience and hope for your understanding during these challenging times.

Certifications – Sleep Republic Mattress
CertiPUR-US® Certified
Our Cashmere blend fabric has been CSIRO tested in Australia and cleared from presence of harmful chemical substances. The gel visco memory foam in the Sleep Republic Mattress has been vetted and approved by CertiPUR-US®, a US based program that certifies the foam is tested and meets their content, emissions and durability standards.
Specifications – Sleep Republic Mattress
- Weight: 50kgs (Queen mattress)
- Height: 31cm
- Spring count : 1850 (Queen mattress)
- Coil gauge: 2.0mm, 1.9mm, 1.8mm (depending on the zone)
- Total maximum weight limit: 400kgs (Queen mattress)
Cashmere knitted fabric, gel infused memory foam & natural latex come together with our exclusive High Definition pocket spring system to create the perfect hybrid mattress feel.
From decades of experience in designing, making and selling mattresses we put it all together to bring you the best hybrid mattress design. Not content with the usual 630 springs in a Queen mattress, Sleep Republic created 1850 individually pocketed springs; supporting you precisely where it counts, eliminating partner disturbance and giving you the sleep you deserve.
The Sleep Republic Mattress is medium/firm feel. Why? Because years of customer feedback has told us that this is what the vast majority of people (even years after buying one) are happy with. Despite the notion that complete softness is required in order to achieve a perfect night’s sleep, we have found that the foam vs spring debate is moot: a soft mattress simply does not cut it. The same can be said for those contemplating a very firm mattress. A rock-hard mattress wears surprisingly thin after just a few nights.
The Sleep Republic Mattress offers a high level of support – which is exactly what we have designed with the Sleep Republic Mattress. The HD Pocket Springs for support, married with the gel infused memory foam and latex pillow top for comfort make quite sure of it. Not too soft, not too hard; the best of both worlds.
Don’t just take our word for it. Try it free for 100 nights and find out for yourself how to sleep well.
At Sleep Republic, everyone is equal and delivery is free everywhere (providing our deliverers can get there). No surcharges, no add-ons, country or city – delivery included. See details here.
The Sleep Republic Mattress uses state of the art compression technology. Our mattresses are rolled, wrapped and boxed with handles and wheels for easier moving. Seeing is believing – yes we really can get that mattress in there!

I can’t decide on either the Sleep Republic or Sherman (Just Perfect) Mattress. I have back and hip pains and sleep on my side. They both seem great. Any suggestions?
Hi Kathryn,
You’re right, both of these mattresses are great (and both would be suitable for you). The Sleep Republic Mattress is a touch firmer than the Sherman (Just Perfect) so that may guide your decision.
You have the 100 night trial with both of these as well, so you have plenty of back up.
Would love to hear how you go!
The Bedbuyer team
Hi,
I can’t decide on a King of the Sleep Republic or the Silent Night Onyx Firm. I’ve tried the Onyx Firm in store and I quite like the feel from my first impression. Is the SR that much softer compared to the Onyx?
I’m a hot sleeper and I sleep on my back, also I do have a bit of lower back pains so these will be the main considerations.
Thanks.
Hi Allan,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!
The Sleep Republic is a bit softer (7/10) than the Silent Night Onyx Firm (8/10).
If you’re a hot sleeper and a back sleeper, the Silent Night Onyx Firm would be the one to lean towards as it is specially designed for hot sleepers and has excellent back support.
Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries!
The Bedbuyer team
Hi Bedbuyer,
Do you have a shop in Melbourne to try this mattress?
Hi Sue!
Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, Sleep Republic doesn’t have a showroom but they do offer a 100-night trial period so you can try the mattress in the comfort of your own home 🙂
Let us know if you have any further queries.
The Bedbuyer team
Similarly I am a tall, slim person with back pain, side sleeper and have found firm beds a little uncomfortable.
Tossing up between Sleep republic and Sherman. Thanks for any help.
Hi Peter,
The Sherman ‘Just Perfect’ Mattress would be a sensible one to start with as it is a true ‘medium’ feel and would be a nice one for side sleepers.
Our review of the Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) is linked here.
Let us know how you go!
The Bedbuyer team
Hi Bedbuyer,
Can you help, I just purchased a king base but don’t know what mattress to buy.
I manly sleep on my side, I’m a hot sleeper and often wake due to being hot. I weigh 70kg and do suffer hip pain. Prefer inner spring, bed test recommend medium.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Jeff,
Happy to help – the Sleep Republic Mattress is certainly one to consider. It is designed for ventilation and cooling and has nice pressure relief in the side lying position. You can read our full review (which includes discount code) above.
Another mattress to consider would be the Silent Night Onyx which is specially designed for cooling. Our full review is linked here.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.
The Bedbuyer team
Hello Bedbuyer,
I am torn! Can’t decide between the Sleeping Duck and Sleep Republic! This would be the first time we have purchased a pillow top mattress with pocket springs so wanting to get it right. I don’t want the deep sinking sensation but getting older and have a few aches so need a little more comfort. Help!
Love your website by the way, very helpful.
Lauren.
Hi Lauren,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!
It can certainly be confusing with so many good options available these days! Based on what you said, we would recommend the Sleep Republic Mattress. Even though it has a nice comfort layer (pillow top), we didn’t detect any sagging or sinking during our testing. With that said, it is still very comfortable!
Hope that helps with your decision. Use code BEDBUYER150 at checkout to claim your $150 discount.

Hi, tossing up between the Sherman mattress and the sleep republic, I’m a side sleeper and don’t like it to be too firm.
Hi Caz,
Thanks for your comment 🙂
The Sleep Republic mattress is a medium-firm feel. Our team rated it 7/10 on our firmness scale.
The Sherman mattress comes in 3 different firmness levels : Full body hug (4.5/10 firm), Just perfect (6/10 firm) and Firm but fair (7.5/10).
Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any further queries.
The Bedbuyer team.
Hello could you please advise as to where the Sherman mattress is made?
Hi Mary,
The Sherman Mattress is made responsibly in China. You can read more about this in Sherman’s FAQ, linked here.
Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries!
The Bedbuyer team
we have stupid king size ikea bed frame which is only 201cm length mattress
what do you recommend ? do you have any queen or king size mattresses this length as most are 203cm long
Hi Dean,
Unfortunately standard King and Queen size mattresses in Australia are both 203cm long.
Having said that, if it is only 2cm difference, you should be able to squeeze the mattress into the space available. Many mattress companies mention that you can still squeeze a mattress in if the difference is less than 3cm.
Hope that helps but happy to assist further if you need.

Hi There,
I’m tossing up between the Sherman or the Sleep Republic. I’m small and weigh about 55kgs I also have neck and shoulder pain from my current mattress. I’m mostly a side sleeper sometimes on my back as well. I’m after a mattress that’s not too heavy either for the convenience of easy making it when lifting the corners. I’m generally a hot sleeper as well so I am after one that gives the best breathability. Any suggestions?
Hi Renee,
This is a tough one – in terms of breathability the Sleep Republic Mattress is a bit better. On the other hand, the Sherman Mattress is 35kgs and the Sleep Republic Mattress is 50kgs.
So all things considered, the Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) would be a sensible one to start with. It still is reasonably well ventilated (as it is a spring mattress) and you always have the option of the return / refund if it really doesn’t suit.
Are you in the Sherman delivery zone? You can check on this link here.
Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries!

Hi… Looking at purchasing a few mattresses for my family. Is your mattress toxic free? Could I get a run down of what chemicals are and are not in them please? Also how long for delivery in Sydney after ordering? I am looking at a couple of options (concentrating on non toxic) and want to know how Sleep republic compare to Sleeping Duck and Fern.
Kind regards
Oljay
Hi Oljay,
The Sleep Republic Mattress is well-certified as non toxic. It has the Certi-PUR-US certification which is one of the leading groups that test for toxicity.
Delivery to Sydney is the same day if ordered before 11am. Next day delivery if ordered after 11am. Full details in their FAQ.
The Sleep Republic, Sleeping Duck, and Fern Mattress are all well-certified as non-toxic so all good options.
Hope that helps but let us know if you have any further queries.
The Bedbuyer team
I’ve been suffering bad back pain for years. I’m looking for a new king mattress. I’m a side and stomach sleeper, also a hot sleeper. So I’m after a cooling mattress, more medium than firm. What do you recommend? Also need to keep weight of mattress in mind for lifting when changing sheets.
Hi Deb,
The Sleep Republic Mattress would be a very good option for your situation. Very nice balance of comfort and support, and designed for ventilation and cooling. It is about average weight for a spring mattress (55kgs King size mattress) so certainly should be manageable for most people in terms of changing the sheets.

Hello,
I had decided on a Noa mattress and read quite a few reviews, but it is out of stock (approximate stock arriving 12th Sept) but I am having ongoing back/hip soreness and I just had a look at the Sleep Republic and it says they can do quick delivery which is very promising. Are these beds fairly similar do you think?
Thanks, Kay
Hi Kay,
Yes the Noa Mattress and Sleep Republic Mattress are similar in general construction (pocket spring system, similar comfort layer).
Having said that, the Sleep Republic Mattress is more refined and is better quality overall. It has a better spring system and better edge support. We have a $150 discount as well, click this link and use code BEDBUYER150.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.
The Bedbuyer team
Thank you, I have ordered a Sleep Republic and hopefully will receive it today or tomorrow they say. Thanks so much for all of your reviews, they really helped. I’ve also ordered my Mum an Eva mattress today 🙂
That’s great to hear Kay, and it’s our pleasure to help!
Would love to hear how it all goes.

Hi Love your website thank you for all the information.
Buying a mattress for my brother for his birthday. He is a side and back sleeper, is a hot sleeper and is currently overweight (130kilos).
He said he prefers a memory foam mattress but to be honest I cant afford a Tempur mattress. Would love to know what you would suggest. Thanks Teresa
Whoops forgot to add that he does get a bad back quite often.
Hi Teresa,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer and for your nice words, we appreciate that!
That’s very kind of you to buy a mattress for your brother (for his birthday), what a lovely thought. As he is a hot sleeper, we would lean away from a memory foam mattress and go for a spring mattress (which are more ventilated and generally more durable). If he was really set on a memory foam mattress, the Ergoflex Mattress is a very good value alternative to a Tempur Mattress. Our full review (with video review and discount code) is linked here. Alternatively, the Amerisleep range at Beds n Dreams is very nice and still not as expensive as most Tempur mattresses.
If he is open to a spring mattress, the Sleep Republic Mattress is always a sensible one to go for. It has a lovely medium-firm feel and has excellent back support (it can accommodate up to 400kgs). You have the 100 night trial as well if it really doesn’t suit.
Hope that gives you some direction but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries!
The Bedbuyer team
Thank you so much for your assistance. We will be sure to let you know which way we go.
I’m so worried that if I buy a Sleep Republic mattress it will be too firm or worse too soft I’m a hot back sleeper with fibromyalgia, chronic headaches and migraines. ..Also do you deliver to Adelaide SA.
Hi Simone,
As you may have seen from our review, we rated the Sleep Republic Mattress has a ‘medium-firm’ feel and found it very well balanced with comfort and support. It should be suitable for a back sleeper as it has very good support, and it is also designed for ventilation and cooling.
Sleep Republic do free delivery, Australia-wide. Here is the shop page and you can use code BEDBUYER150 to get $150 off.
Keep in mind that you have a 100 night ‘free trial period’ so you can get a refund if you find it really doesn’t suit you.
Hope that helps but let us know if you would like to discuss further.

Hi, thank you for your thorough reviews. I’m looking to buy a new mattress after 20 years on the old innerspring 😬 I don’t necessarily want something hard but I really enjoy that “push back”, springy feeling where my back feels totally supported. The “dense” foam sensation isn’t particularly comfortable to me. I also enjoyed mattresses with a latex layer in store.
Currently I’m tossing up between the Sleeping Duck, Eva and Sleep Republic as they all have pocket coils under a comfort layer. Could you help advise as to which of these mattresses might suit my criteria best?
Hi Siobhan,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer and for your nice words 🙂
Happy to help. I would lean towards the Sleep Republic Mattress out of those 3 that you mentioned. It is very comfortable but also has a nice level of ‘responsiveness’ so I think that would suit you nicely.
One other option to consider (assuming that you are in their delivery zone) is the Sherman (Firm but Fair) Mattress. Firm but comfortable, and a very nice level of ‘responsiveness’ too. Our full review (with video review and discount code) is linked here.
Hope that gives you some direction but please let us know if you would like to discuss further!
The Bedbuyer team
Hey Bedbuyer,
My partner and I are looking for a new mattress and are considering the Sleep Republic but we are a little nervous about firmness. We don’t like to ‘sink’ in too much… we are side and stomach sleepers but for some reason generally prefer firmer mattresses and have previously had a pocket sprung one.
Are there any mattress-in-a-box hybrids that have a very thin foam layer? Or any that are just pocket-sprung? Not married to a mattress-in-a-box, we are happy to look at retail. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks
Nick
Hi Nick,
Happy to assist. The Sleep Republic Mattress is very ‘balanced’ with a medium-firm feel. We certainly didn’t notice any ‘sinking’ or dipping so it’s definitely one to consider.
We have tested over 130 mattress in a box and there are dozens of ‘pocket spring’ options (e.g. Sleep Republic, Sleeping Duck, Eva).
Another one to consider (assuming that you’re in their delivery zone) is the Sherman Mattress (Firm but Fair). It’s not a ‘mattress in a box’ but you can still order online. Very nice mattress that is firm but still comfortable. Our full review is linked here (includes video review and discount code).
Both the Sleep Republic Mattress and Sherman Mattress have a 100 night trial so you have that as a back up.
Hope that gives you some guidance but please let us know if you would like to discuss further!

I too am torn between the Sleeping Duck and the Sleep Republic Queen size – we both are side sleepers however I am 150Kg and partner is around 60Kg , Also how does the gel infused memory foam go with an electric blanket, my partner relies on the heat mainly between Winter and early spring
Looking for advice and suggestions please
Hi Scott,
The Sleeping Duck Mattress would be our recommendation for your situation, mainly because you have the option to customise the firmness levels on each side. This will likely be useful for you and your partner – you can see how this works in our video review.
An electric blanket should go fine on the Sleep Republic Mattress and the Sleeping Duck Mattress.
For your reference, you can get free delivery on the Sleeping Duck Mattress on this link here.

Hi, my head is spinning trying to research the right mattress for me.. please help. I am a bit of a rotator.. side, stomach and back sleeper, I also suffer from hip, shoulder and lower back pain. I currently have a lovely mattress that feels like a cloud to sleep on(it’s a plush), but I wake up every morning with a lot of lower back pain and can’t even walk straight for half an hour. I am in need of something that feels like heaven ( because bed is my happy place ) but gives my 44 year old, hard working, dodgy lower back the support it rightly deserves. I know I’m asking for the world here, but I need squishy goodness combined with ultimate spine aligning support.. pleeeease help 🙏
Hi Kim,
Thanks for providing that background information and happy to help. Do you know what mattress you are currently sleeping on (brand, model)?
Sounds like your current mattress is soft and comfortable, but may not be giving your spine the proper support. I think the Sleep Republic Mattress would be a sensible option to try. It has a lovely ‘medium-firm’ feel so it is very comfortable but still provides excellent support. As you probably saw, we rated it as the ‘best overall’ bed in a box in 2020.
If you wanted to go a little softer, the Naptime 2.0 Mattress is a really nice one as well – our full review is linked here.
Hope that gives you some direction but please let us know how you go!

Hi, I am trying to choose between sleeping duck(new Mach II version),sleep republic and the Noa Luxe in king size. We previously tried Eva but felt that it developed sagging after 2 months on one side. We really liked the firmness on Eva but it just didn’t work out. We like medium firm so just wondering which one would u recommend in terms of quality, longevity and comfort from the above 3 mentioned mattress.?
Hi Ali,
Sorry to hear that your Eva Mattress developed sagging. I’m guessing you were able to get a return/refund?
If you liked the firmness level of the Eva Mattress, we would recommend the Sleep Republic Mattress. It is comfortable but still has very good back support. As you probably saw, it has a 100 night trial and a 12 year warranty as a back up.
For your reference, the Sleep Republic shop page is linked here.
Hope that helps but would love to hear how you go!
The Bedbuyer team
How would you rate the quality of sleep republic compared to vs noa luxe or sleeping duck Mach II version ?
Each of these have a slightly different construction but in terms of quality, they are all very comparable. Sleeping Duck probably has the edge but you do pay a little more.
Hope that helps!
The Bedbuyer team
I have to buy 3 mattresses for my family. 1 x Queen, 1 x Double and 1 x King Single. The queen is for myself and husband. He’s been a little anti bed in box mattress, but we need to be savvy and I had hoped to find a suitable one for under $1000. He is 6’2″ and over 120kg and I am around 70kg. Our current, very old mattress has a wall building between us too!! I have a recurring shoulder issue and I’m a side sleeper, occasionally stomach. Husband side sleeps and snores! I spotted the Eva mattress and thought it was great value, but did see one review that mentioned it sagged on her during the trial. Is this a common issue, particularly as we are not light weights? And I did read more about the Sleep Republic which had good reviews and you gave good feedback. Really didn’t want to spend this much but would it be better for us?
The other sizes are for my teens. Maybe an Eva would suit them? They are both around the 50kg and 60kg mark – Tall 16yo boy who side sleeps and doesn’t move too much, and 15yo girl who wants the double and moves around and is a hot sleeper. Guessing we don’t all have to have the same brand. We all have slat bed frames.
What would you suggest?
Hi Cheri,
You’re definitely on the right track!
The Sleep Republic Mattress would be a very sensible option for you and your husband. It has a lovely ‘medium-firm’ feel and has a very good spring system. It should accommodate both of you very well. The current Black Friday price is the best price that we have seen all year.
The Eva Mattress would also be a great option for both of your children. Nice medium-firm feel also and is great value (click here to get your discount). Alternatively, the Noa Mattress would also be a great option for both kids (click here to get your discount).
Hope that gives you some direction but would love to hear how it goes!
The Bedbuyer team
Hello, I’m wondering which mattress is the firmest; Sleep Republic or Eva? Also, I had two different answers regarding the thickness of the foam and latex layers in the sleep republic mattress which were , 200mm and 300mm. Could you please confirm which is correct? Thank you.
Hi Tracey,
As you may have seen on our full reviews, we rated the Sleep Republic and Eva Mattress very similar in firmness (about 7/10).
We have just confirmed with Sleep Republic and the thickness of the memory foam layer is 30 mm and the latex layer is 30 mm.
Hope that helps but would love to hear what you decide on!
The Bedbuyer team
Thank you for your prompt reply and confirmation.
The reason for my enquiry is that I’m currently sleeping on the EVA mattress. I purchased it 7 weeks ago. I’m finding it’s not quite supportive and firm enough and I feel as tho I’m sleeping ‘in’ the mattress rather than on top of the mattress. I find it much better sleeping as far over to the edge as possible without falling off the bed much better.
I’m considering changing to something else.
I have the sleep republic in mind. Do you think the SR mattress would be more suited or can you recommend another mattress?
Thank you in advance.
Thanks Tracey! I’m looking at these two mattresses, and your review has been very helpful – I’d like to know the same.
@bedbuyer could you please advisde?
Hi Owen,
We rated both the Sleep Republic Mattress and the Eva Mattress a similar ‘firmness’ but they do feel a bit different.
The Eva Mattress feels a little more ‘spongy’ than the Sleep Republic Mattress, and so the Sleep Republic may feel more supportive. Furthermore the Sleep Republic has a pocket spring system with a much higher spring count than the Eva Mattress.
Hope that gives you some direction but happy chat further!
The Bedbuyer team
Hi Tracey,
Thanks for that information. The Sleep Republic Mattress would be a sensible next option. It is overall a better mattress than the Eva Mattress as it has more refined comfort layers and a high definition pocket spring system. Our feeling is that the Sleep Republic will offer you better support than the Eva Mattress.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries!
The Bedbuyer team
Hi, I have stubbeled across your site while doing some mattress research and would like to say this has been by far the most helpful site!!
I am looking at getting a new mattress and would like to try one of the mattress in a box options. I am a side sleeper and do suffer from lower back pain (which my current bed has made worse due to being much to soft and many years old, I believe it is a medium soft option)
From the reviews on your site I am tossing up between the sleep republic and the Eva but would like your feedback between the two specifically
Thanks
Taylah
Hi Taylah,
Thanks for your kind words. We appreciate that!
The Sleep Republic Mattress and Eva Mattress would both be very sensible options for you. The Sleep Republic is a more ‘refined’ version of the Eva Mattress but both are great options at their respective price points.
If you can stretch the budget, the Sleep Republic Mattress would be our best recommendation in your case. For your reference, you can jump straight to the Sleep Republic shop page on this link here.
Hope that helps but would love to hear how you go!

Hi ,
I’m tossing up between this one and the Noa Luxe Mattress and hoping to get them before the sale ends.
I’m looking for a medium firm bed for support because I sleep mainly on my back but do move around and sleep on my side at times.
The mattresses seem almost identical other than the costs and the bamboo latex in the Noa mattress. The Noa luxe mattress emphasises that they’re non-toxic, does this mean that the sleep republic one may be?
What would you recommend?
Hi Rol,
Happy to help, yes both mattresses are very comparable. The Sleep Republic Mattress is also well certified as non-toxic (CertiPUR-US®).
Although hard to split them, we would lean towards the Sleep Republic Mattress for your situation. It offers just a tad more comfort (especially in the side lying position) and you could argue its spring system is the best in the mattress in a box market.
Hope that helps but would love to hear what you decide on!
The Bedbuyer team
Hi,
I have just purchased a noa luxe mattress. I suffer from arthritis and fibromyalgia. I’m finding the noa lux mattress way too hard. My body is hurting quite badly. I’m mainly a back or side sleeper. I don’t want something too soft but need it to be less firm. I’m thinking of sleeping duck? Also need to consider weight as we are both on the heavier side. Please help!
Hi Joanne,
Sorry to hear that the Noa Luxe Mattress is too firm for you. As you may have seen on our review, we do rate it as a ‘medium-firm’ feel.
The Sleeping Duck Mattress (medium) would be a sensible next option for you. We rated it as a 5.5 / 10 so it should offer more pressure relief. It is a very well built mattress which should suit people of most sizes. You can jump straight to the Sleeping Duck shop page on this link here.
Hope that gives you some direction but please let us know how you go!

Hi there I am due to replace my Sealy Posture Premier mattress ‘Elation’. I have a photo of the tag if you require more details.
I’m not a fan of firm mattress and am a side sleeper and sleep with a pillow between my knees for more knee and hip support
I’m interested in the Sleep republic mattress, but wonder how it compares with my original mattress in terms of firmness level?
Thanks
Laura
Hi Laura,
We have tested many Sealy Posture Premier mattresses but unfortunately not the Elation. As you can imagine it’s hard to comment on the firmness of the Elation mattress and/or give a comparison with the Sleep Republic Mattress.
With that said, the Sleep Republic Mattress does come with a 100 night trial period which means you can get a full refund if you don’t like it. We rated it as a ‘medium-firm’ feel and found it very comfortable.
Hope that helps but please let us know how you go!

Thanks for all this information. It’s made choosing a mattress much easier and your reviews are very clear and helpful.
We are going to grab a sleep republic mattress today- so let’s see how it goes! Currently have a full latex, but we are upgrading our bed from a queen to a king. 🙂
Hi Poppy,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer and for your kind words 🙂
Great to hear you’ve decided on a (king size) Sleep Republic Mattress. Would always be interested to hear how it goes. You can jump straight to the shop page on this link here (use code BEDBUYER150 to get $150 off).

I’m just wondering what mattress you would suggest for myself and hubby ?
I am 6 ft and 125 Kg and Hubby is 140kgs. We like something medium not like a brick but not saggy at all.
Also something that you don’t feel partner turning or moving ? Could you please suggest ?
Thanks Jay
Hi Jay,
Happy to help. The And Sleep Prime is a lovely mattress that is specially designed for larger people. Our full review (includes discount code) is linked here.
Additionally, the Silent Night Onyx mattress would be worth trying out at Beds n Dreams (comes in a firm, medium, and plush). Our full review (includes video review) is linked here. Just mention Bedbuyer in-store to claim our special pricing.
Hope that helps but please let us know how you go!

Thoroughly thank full of the Bedbuyer site and the detailed review. I was thinking I should get the Sleeping Duck Mach II. However this being the best overall and at a better price point I was wondering where to best put our money. I am happy to buy either however I can not discern which would be a better (best buy) for us. I am like 85KFG and my wife is 60KG average builds no spinal or other issues currently. I want the mattress to last and be comfy. We are both side sleepers and back sleepers so were looking at the Medium SD Mach II, however this sleep republic mattress seems to get your approval. Could you please offer some advice that may assist in our decision?
Hi Jody,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer and for your kind words!
Based on what you have said, the Sleep Republic Mattress would be a very good choice for you and your wife. It is well made, offers a lovely balance of comfort and support, and should suit side/back sleepers very well. You also have a 100 night trial period in case you aren’t satisfied. For your reference, you can jump straight to the shop page on this link here (use code BEDBUYER150 at checkout to get $150 off).
The Sleeping Duck Mattress (Mach II) is a great mattress, but probably only worth it if you use the customisation feature (which is unlikely if you don’t have any major spinal conditions).
Hope that helps but would love to hear how you go!
