Sleep Republic Mattress Review
The Sleep Republic Mattress was recently awarded Australia’s ‘Best Overall’ Mattress in a Box in 2020. With all things considered, our expert review team considers this as the premier mattress in a box product currently on the Australian market.
Our review team really liked the overall feel of the Sleep Republic Mattress. The Cashmere knitted fabric top cover feels smooth and gives off a distinct luxurious vibe. This cover sits over a layer of gel infused memory foam and 100% natural latex which makes up the top comfort layer. These layers provide lovely pressure relief, and the combination of memory foam and latex absorb body weight smoothly and evenly.
❝ Quite simply, this mattress has a lovely balance of comfort and support. ❞
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.
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. Our team rated it as a ‘medium / firm’ feel and a 7 / 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest):
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 and the embroidery and brand tag label give it a nice finishing touch.
The Sleep Republic is a stand out in the Australian mattress market. It is competitively priced, and is well backed with a 12 year warranty and a 100 night trial period. Congratulations to Sleep Republic – a worthy award winner in 2020! Here are our ratings for each category:

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. Our gel visco memory foam 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.
FREE DELIVERY
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 BOX
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!
Our mattress boxes are the following sizes (cms):
Single: 35 x 35 x 100
King single: 35 x 35 x 115
Double: 35 x 35 x 145
Queen: 35 x 35 x 157
King: 35 x 35 x 188
Please note: We don’t generally recommend mattress in a box products to go on an ‘adjustable base’ (a base that can be angled via a remote control). If a mattress in a box product is placed on an adjustable base, it is recommended that a person/s be lying on the mattress (and base) whilst making positional adjustments. We generally recommend a mattress in a box product to go on a solid ensemble base, or a slat base. If you have any queries about bed bases, please contact us.

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,
Just sent you an email to discuss further!
Kind regards, 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!

Do you have a shop in melbourbe to try bed.
Hi Sue!
Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, Sleep Republic doesn’t have any showroom but they offer a 100-night trial period for you to try the mattress in the comfort of your own home :).
Let us know if you have any further queries.

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
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. Use code BEDBUYER100 at checkout to claim the $100 discount.
Let us know how you go!
Kind regards,

Can you help, I just purchased a king base but don’t know what mattress.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Hi, about 2 weeks ago we received our new bed, Sleep Republic. We find it a bit too firm for side sleeping, would you recommend Sherman Full Body Hug as a softer option?
Hi Kristina,
Sorry to hear that the Sleep Republic Mattress is a bit firm for you. The Sherman Full Body Hug is definitely softer and would be a nice next option for you. For your reference, our full review of the Sherman Full Body Hug is linked here. (Use code BEDBUYER100 at checkout to claim your $100 off).
