The monsters lurking under the bed are a little closer than you think, with dust mites and pet dander commonly scattered throughout your mattresses, pillows and bedding. Pollen can also be brought into the bedroom through the window or your clothes, while mould can grow if there’s not enough ventilation or the mattress isn’t properly cleaned after a spill.
As someone with a dust mite allergy, there are a few deal-breakers I look for whenever I’m researching mattresses and buying new pillows or bed sheets – such as a removable machine washable cover, antimicrobial treatment and certifications like OEKO-TEX 100.
Check out our roundup below for a few well-rated mattresses with hypoallergenic features, plus a few buying tips to keep an eye out for.

OUR TOP PICKS
BEST HYPOALLEGRENIC MATTRESS WITH LATEX
Ecosa Pure Mattress, $1190 (down from $1700) at Ecosa
What You Need To Know
For a mattress that’s good for both your sleep and the environment, the Ecosa Pure is hard to ignore. It features a washable OceanCycle mattress cover made from recycled plastic bottles, along with natural latex and Tencel to help push airflow throughout the mattress as well as add firmness for support.
If the hybrid mattress doesn’t feel quite right, you can flip the top layer to adjust the firmness to either a medium or a medium plush firmness.
“Finally upgraded my mattress after 16 years and this mattress has been an absolute dream! I’ve added a mattress topper for additional plushness, but it’s still super comfy without it. Just the right amount of plushness and firmness. The only downside is that it’s a little heavy, but I can deal with that for the comfort,” a customer reviewed.
“Comfortable A++ – I started out with the standard Ecosa mattress about six years ago, and it’s still perfect to this day. Decided to go for a slightly softer feel and move the previous to my spare room. The Pure is as you’d expect from Ecosa … Comfortable, supportive and great value,” a second wrote.
BEST HYPOALLERGENIC MATTRESS FOR SUPPORT
Ergoflex 5G Memory Foam Mattress, $1087.49 (down from $1449.99) at Ergoflex
Ergoflex 5G Memory Foam Mattress
What You Need To Know
Prefer memory foam mattresses? Topped with a washable Tencel woven cover, the Ergoflex 5G Mattress is a total fan favourite for helping with annoying morning aches and pains. Impressed shoppers say they’re “sleeping so much better” thanks to the “good back support” and “exceptionally comfortable” feel. Some even called it a “game changer” that’s helping them “wake up feeling well rested and refreshed”.
The mattress also contains a high density open-cell memory foam and a Cool-Sleep layer to regulate temperature, distribute heat evenly and offer pressure relief. The Tencel outer cover also has vented 3D mesh panels on the ends to prevent trapping heat.
“Mattress arrived quickly and exceeded my expectations. My six foot plus son who weighs in over 100kg says it is the most comfortable mattress ever and he now has the best sleep. We will definitely be replacing all our mattresses with Ergoflex,” one customer raved.
“Fast shipping and a great price for a mattress that is equal in comfort and quality to more costly brands,” another posted.
“This is the second time I’ve purchased an Ergoflex mattress. Ordering, delivery and set up is easy and straightforward. The mattress itself is amazing … It’s so comfortable and moulds perfectly to your body! I’ve recommended it to family and friends, they love it too. Will never go back to a spring mattress and I miss my Ergoflex when travelling,” a third reviewed.
BEST HYPOALLERGENIC MATTRESS FOR HOT SLEEPERS
Ecosa CoolComfort Mattress, $1330 (down from $1900) at Ecosa
What You Need To Know
If you’re a hot sleeper, the dense and body hugging construction of memory foam mattresses makes it even easier to feel overly warm during the night. But hybrid mattresses like Ecosa’s CoolComfort Matress are a great way to still enjoy pressure relieving properties without trapping as much body heat.
“This is the GOAT of the mattress world! Firm but not too firm, supportive and super cool. No more night sweats, no more back pain and no more waking up when my husband rolls over in bed. So glad I took a chance and bought this mattress!” raved a reviewer.
This Ecosa boxed mattress features a FlexMatrix Grid, a layer designed to encourage airflow while simultaneously contouring your curves similar to a memory foam mattress. It also contains several other cooling comfort layers including graphene-infused foam, copper-infused air foam and an open-cell latex-like layer to draw heat away from the body and improve breathability. Plus, there’s a washable top cover to keep the surface hygienic – and it’s even claimed to be up to 80 per cent cooler to touch than some standard mattresses.
“The cooling feature is not oversold, has been a life saver in the Aussie summer,” a reviewer posted.
BEST HYPOALLERGENIC SPRING MATTRESSES
Sealy Advantage Antigua Medium Firm Mattress, $824 (down from $1649) at Myer
Sealy Advantage Antigua Medium Firm Mattress
What You Need To Know
Spring mattresses are generally not ideal since the coils create extra space for dust mites to sneak into, unlike very dense foam mattresses. But if you prefer the firmer, bouncier and more responsive feel of spring mattresses there are options like the Sealy Advantage Antigua which are treated with an antimicrobial product to help keep your bed fresher for longer.
“Quick delivery and a super comfy mattress! Would recommend!” a Myer customer wrote in a review.
“I did a lot of research before choosing this mattress, and it consistently came up as a high-quality option. I’m really enjoying it so far — it’s comfortable, supportive, and I feel reassured knowing it’s good for my back. The medium firmness makes it a great neutral choice that would suit a variety of sleepers, another posted, giving it five stars.
BEST BUDGET HYPOALLERGENIC MATTRESSES
Medium Enola Pocket Spring Mattress, $219.99 (down from $269.99) at Temple & Webster
What You Need To Know
Budget friendly alternatives shouldn’t be underestimated, and the hundreds of online reviews for this pocket spring mattress from Temple & Webster prove you can still get “great value” without breaking the bank. Most shoppers say it’s “very soft and comfortable”, and a “good mattress at such an affordable price point”.
“Was a bit scared at first, but it is one of the comfiest mattresses I’ve owned and is not thin,” a happy shopper reviewed.
“I was at first hesitant to buy this mattress because I thought I would be able to feel the springs because the top layer didn’t look that supportive, however that isn’t the case. It’s a comfortable mattress. It recommends letting it set for two to 24 hours on the box, however it’s still comfortable if you let it set for just a few hours,” another praised.
“Great mattress for the price, (and) easy and quick shipment! I added a cheap mattress topper just to add a bit more softness and it’s perfect. Going back to purchase another!” a third posted.

• GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard): certifies the textiles used are organic and don’t contain harmful substances
Anti-microbial treatment
National Asthma Council Australia recommends opting for mattresses which have been treated with an antimicrobial product such as Ultra-Fresh, Sanitized or HealthGuard.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a hypoallergenic mattress?
Hypoallergenic mattresses are designed to minimise allergic reactions and made with materials resistant to common allergens including dust mites and mould. These often come with a removable machine washable
How to get rid of dust mites
Dust mites are one of the most common triggers for asthma and while they don’t bite or sting, their poop and body parts can cause allergic reactions in some people. These microscopic creatures typically feed on skin flakes (which we naturally shed every night) and can breed in warm and humid environments, as well as mould. Dust mites also happily live in soft items like upholstered furniture, bedding, carpets and clothing.
Here are a few ways to kick the critters out:
• Open your curtains and windows every morning to help air out the bedding
• Opt for mattresses and bedding which have been treated with an antimicrobial product
• Use dust mite resistant mattress pillows and bed sheets
• • Regularly wash your bedding in temperatures over 60C
Wash soft toys once a week (higher than 60C)
• Regularly clean curtains, and use a vacuum with a HEPA filter
• If possible, use an air purifier to help remove allergens in the air (preferably a model with at least a HEPA filter and activated carbon filter).
How to clean blood on a mattress
The more time the blood stain has to set, the more difficult it will be to remove so start stripping off all your pillows and sheets as soon as possible. For fresh stains, damp a rag and gently blot the affected areas. If your mattress comes with a removable cover, quickly place it in the washing machine (cold water only, not warm or hot).
But make sure to avoid using water because the heat can cause the stain to set faster and become more stubborn.
For dried blood, you can use enzyme-based cleaners, hydrogen peroxide or baking soda on the affected areas. Meat tenderiser powder from the seasonings aisle at the supermarket can actually be another great fix.
How to clean urine from mattresses
Remove freshly soiled sheets and gently dab the stains with a paper towel or rag to get as much of the moisture. Mix water and distilled vinegar in a spray bottle and give the area a spritz, before letting it soak for 10-15 minutes and later blotting the section.
More Coverage
Then, put a generous amount of baking soda over where the pee has spread and let this sit overnight (or roughly eight hours). You can run a handheld vacuum over the mattress once it’s all done.
For dog or cat urine, an enzyme-based cleaner might be best since it can reach deeper than some regular household cleaners and get rid of the odours that could lure your four-legged best friend back.
