However, settling on a reputable mattress brand is no easy task — especially when shopping online.
So, we’ve researched far and wide and rounded up the best brands to look out for including Ecosa, Emma and Origin, as well as the top-selling product from each.
But if we’re playing favourites, the Ecosa Mattress is one to check out – and a mattress more than 17k shoppers have already give a five-star thumbs up.
SLEEPING DUCK
This Australian-owned company was started by two Melburnian engineers in 2014 and the brand has one mattress in its range – the SD Mach II – an improved version of the original Sleeping Duck mattress.
Sleeping Duck is for you if you and your sleeping partner have different preferences, because its mattresses are designed to allow you to customise the firmness of any part of the bed. You can choose between medium and firm mattresses or half and half, then the company will provide additional foam panels to try out for free for up to 100 days. For example, you can order a firmer option of the foam for the shoulders or hips region, and have softer padding for your legs.

SD Mach II
What You Need To Know
There’s a lot to be said about the prized SD Mach II. On top of the customisable firmness system, it comes with a silky soft bamboo knitted cover that provides maximum breathability. Beneath the foam, there’s a twice-tempered steel spring system. This hybrid system ensures that support is precisely directed to different parts of the body in just the right amount. This system also makes the mattress extremely sturdy, so it should last for years. However, it’s worth noting that some customers have noted it’s quite heavy to manoeuvre.
“I love how modular this mattress is, every section can be taken apart to be cleaned whenever you want,” one reviewer on ProductReview said. “It’s a very comfortable and breathable mattress; I’m a furnace at night and I never wake up in a sweat. After sleeping on an extra firm mattress while on holiday, I realise my lower-back prefers extra firm. I called up (outside my 100 day alteration window) and they sent me a free extra-firm insert!”
ORIGIN
Origin is one of the newer mattress brands on the market but it has quickly become a top contender. Its line-up of world-class German-engineered mattresses offer the latest in sleep science and mattress technology.
Each mattress undergoes rigorous sleep tests with real consumers to ensure the highest quality standards. Origin manufactures all of its products with the environment in mind, donates all returned mattresses to the Salvation Army and collaborates with local Australian NGOs to help protect the environment.
There are two mattresses in its range — the Hybrid and Hybrid Pro — which are loved by Olympic athletes and trusted by orthopaedics.
Your mattress purchase also comes with free delivery, a 120-day trial period and a 15-year warranty.

Origin Hybrid Pro Mattress
What You Need To Know
Approved by a team of international sleep experts and athletes, this hybrid mattress sets a new standard in sleep. The beauty lies in Origin’s signature HexaGrid that keeps the mattress snuggly and plush while cradling pressure points, which is combined with Tencel for unparalleled cooling comfort and healthy back support. (Note: It can be a little too firm for some, so beware if you prefer a plush mattress.)
“I was having a lot of issues with our old mattress with my back, and we badly needed a new one,” one reviewer detailed. “Within a week of having the Origin Mattress, the issues started to fade. I have found that this is firm enough to give me a good night’s sleep without giving me back issues.”
Another wrote, “Best decision I have made! Their mattress is not only soft and plushy, but its also really cooling, which is my favourite part of it!”
EMMA SLEEP
This leading sleep brand is known around the world for producing the best mattress in a box. It’s become synonymous with creating contouring foam beds, perfect for sleepers who prioritise a mattress that offers extra pressure relief and support, plus a cradling sensation.
With your Emma Sleep mattress purchase, you’ll receive free delivery, a complimentary pillow, a 10-year warranty and 100 nights to try it out. In the (unlikely) case you’re unsatisfied, Emma will donate your returned mattress to the Salvation Army, Disability Services Australia or Lifeline QLD so rest assured, no mattress goes to waste.
BEST EMMA MATTRESS
Emma Sleep Luxe Mattress from $1890 at Emma Sleep
Tried and tested by Jessica Smith, Body & Soul Health and Wellness Writer
The award-winning Emma Luxe Mattress offers a truly comfortable and luxurious sleep, thanks to ThermoSync® foam that uses NanoCarbon™ particles to dissipate heat and help maintain your ideal sleep temperature. It also provides a combination of memory foam and pocket springs to give 7-zone support that is firm while adapting to your body shape. This all sounds amazing and our Health and Wellness Writer Jessica Smith was keen to put it to the test.
“I have always been unsure about memory foam mattresses, so this hybrid cooling option from Emma, which combines the best of spring support and breathy memory foam is a dream,” she says. “In the fortnight that I’ve been sleeping on this mattress, it’s felt so supportive yet plush and pressure-relieving in all the right places.”
Jessica also appreciated how this mattress kept her cool at night. “The first night sleeping on my new mattress happened to be an unusually hot night, where I would normally struggle to sleep,” she says. “But the cooling abilities of the Emma Luxe Mattress allowed me to stay partially under my blanket, nice and cosy, just the way I like.’
After two weeks sleeping on the mattress, Jessica could confidently say that the mattress offers the absolute best blend of soft and firm: “Despite the cloudlike cushioning, the Emma Luxe Mattress is seriously supportive, with brilliant edge support and partner disturbance levels at an absolute low.”

Emma Comfort Adapt Plus Mattress, from $660 at Emma Sleep
Tried and Tested by Troy Nankervis, news.com.au checkout Shopping Writer
What You Need To Know
The Emma Comfort Adapt Plus Mattress features upper layers of Aerofoam, MemoryAdapt foam, and Comfort HRX foam, which absorb body heat and promote airflow, moulding to your body for even distribution of body weight, regardless of your sleeping position.
News.com.au checkout Shopping Writer, Troy Nankervis was keen to put it to the test, which he did in the middle of a Sydney winter.
“I’m feeling pretty good about hitting snooze on my alarms a few times each morning,” he reported. “Stretching out my time in bed has a lot to do with this mattress, and one of its big selling points is its design.”
Troy particualrly liked the use of edge-to-edge infinity springs, which is said to provide personalised alignment and support. “It’s left me feeling well-rested when I wake up each morning,” he wrote. “Having slept on my prior mattress for around seven years, this was one of the first things I noticed after making the switch.”
Troy felt like all of the key selling points of the product - such as breathability, support and focus around motion isolation all lived up to expectations.
“The one thing I’d say is that the cushioning was a little softer than I was used to, but after a fortnight of use, this is now the last thing on my mind,” he said. “I can’t remember ever previously saying how much I was looking forward to sleep, that’s all changed with the Emma Comfort Plus mattress.”

As one five-star reviewer wrote: “I have two mattresses/beds in my house and was previously sleeping on a $3000 mattress until I got the Eva, tried it, and swapped the Eva to my primary mattress.”

WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A MATTRESS?
Below are some factors you should consider when purchasing the perfect mattress for your body, sleep needs and budget.
Breathability
According to The Sleep Health Foundation, research has found the ideal sleeping temperature is around 17°C to 19°C. This range creates a perfect environment that works alongside the patterns of our core body temperature throughout any given night. Depending on the build and material of a mattress, air circulates at different rates so keep in mind whether you’re a hot or cool sleeper.
Sleeping position
The firmness of a mattress correlates to your preferred sleeping position so, do you sleep on your stomach, back or side? A firm mattress is ideal for stomach sleepers, a medium mattress will provide optimal support for back sleepers and a soft mattress will contour the body’s curves for side sleepers.
Durability
As we’ve mentioned above, a durable mattress doesn’t mean you have to drop thousands of dollars just because it’s marketed as “the highest quality”. All mattresses in this roundup are both durable and affordable. Of course, you can extend your mattress’ lifespan even further by giving it a regular vacuum and steam clean, as well as using a mattress protector.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATTRESSES?
There are four key types of mattresses: foam, innerspring, hybrid and latex.
Foam mattresses: These are best for side sleepers and great for pressure relief and joint support. The biggest downside is that the dense layers can generate heat quickly, which isn’t ideal for hot sleepers.
Innerspring mattresses: These are best for side and black sleepers, especially those who suffer from backache. Innerspring mattresses feel bouncy and responsive as they contain a support core made from steel coils, topped with a layer of foam. However, they can be too firm for some sleepers.
Hybrid mattresses: This type of mattress is perfect for any sleeper and perfect for those who share a bed with someone who has different sleep needs or moves around at night because of its minimal motion transfer feature. Hybrids typically tend to be more expensive due to the hi-tech features but you can definitely find more affordable options on the market like the Eva Comfort Classic Mattress.
Latex mattresses: This eco-conscious mattress type is extremely long-lasting and durable, and provides a great balance between bounce and cushion. They’re also ideal for those who suffer from allergies since natural latex repels dust.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR MATTRESS?
According to Koala’s Vice President of Product Design James Whitta, you should start shopping around for a new mattress if you’ve been sleeping on one that’s more than a decade old.
“The lifespan of a mattress can vary depending on the type, quality and usage, but generally, mattresses should be replaced every seven to 10 years,” Mr Whitta tells news.com.au.
“However, this time frame is not set in stone and can be affected by factors such as the mattress material, how well it’s been cared for and individual sleep patterns.”
WHAT IS THE BEST SLEEPING POSITION?
The best sleeping position is flat on your back with your arms straight down and legs out. Use a low pillow to maintain proper neck alignment, which can prevent neck, shoulder, and back pain, as well as headaches and migraines.
A good alternative is sleeping on your side with your top arm either by your side or behind you to keep your shoulders open. Avoid tucking both arms into your chest, which can cause upper spine issues.
Avoid sleeping on your stomach with your neck turned to one side, as this can lead to neck and back pain. If you regularly sleep like this, try training yourself to sleep on your side or back. Switching positions should lead to noticeable improvements in neck and back discomfort.
HOW SHOULD YOU DISPOSE OF AN OLD MATTRESS?
If you’re looking to get rid of an old mattress, the good news is there are lots of options out there. Your local council will have a collection service that can be booked for household items, and in some states there are organisations that will help stop sending your mattress to landfill.
