With a normal bed, you're stuck. With ours, you adjust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Pain in the shoulders, hips, or neck?\u003C\u002Fstrong> The comfort layer is probably too firm for your body. We soften the latex or add microspring layers. The extra cushioning lets your shoulders and hips sink in, which takes pressure off those contact points and keeps your spine aligned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Lower body pain or sinking feeling?\u003C\u002Fstrong> The springs are too soft. We swap to firmer springs so your hips stay supported.

Adjustable means adjustable – not just on day one, but for the life of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">The health benefits of proper support\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Getting the right mattress firmness for your body weight has real, measurable effects. When your spine is in a neutral position – not arching, not curving – you reduce pressure on your joints and allow your muscles to relax properly during sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Pressure relief for shoulders and hips.\u003C\u002Fstrong> \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fausbeds.com.au\u002Fguides\u002Fbest-mattress-for-side-sleepers\">Side sleepers\u003C\u002Fa> need their shoulders and hips to sink into the mattress surface. If the bed is too firm, pressure builds at those contact points. The Cloud model, with its 3,200 microsprings on a queen, provides the most cushioning for pressure relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Better circulation.\u003C\u002Fstrong> When pressure builds at your shoulders, hips, and knees, it restricts blood circulation. You toss and turn to relieve it – which is your body's way of saying \"this bed doesn't fit me.\" Proper support means reduced pressure at those points, improved circulation through the night, and fewer interruptions to restful sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Less tossing and turning.\u003C\u002Fstrong> When your body is properly supported, you stay in position longer. Less movement means deeper sleep cycles. People who switch from a poorly fitted bed to one matched to their body weight consistently report better sleep quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Adjustable bed vs adjustable mattress – what's the difference?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>These are two different things, and it's worth understanding both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An \u003Cstrong>adjustable bed\u003C\u002Fstrong> (also called a motion bed or electric bed) has a motorised bed base that lets you elevate your head, foot, or both. Some models include features like vibration massage or an anti-snore setting that gently raises the head. These features are useful for watching TV in bed, reading, or managing conditions like acid reflux and snoring. Elevating the head to a slightly elevated position can help reduce snoring and ease acid reflux symptoms. Raising the legs can promote better circulation in the lower body and ease pressure on the knees and hips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An \u003Cstrong>adjustable mattress\u003C\u002Fstrong> is a mattress where the internal components can be changed. The firmness, the feel, the support level. This addresses the sleep itself: how your body is held through the night, how pressure is distributed across your shoulders, hips, and spine, and whether you wake up with pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both have benefits. But in my experience, the mattress firmness has a far bigger impact on sleep quality than whether your head is elevated 15 degrees. Getting the support right is what leads to restful sleep. An adjustable bed base is a nice-to-have. An adjustable mattress is the foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our mattresses work on both a standard bed frame and an adjustable bed frame, so you don't have to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>What's inside every Ausbeds mattress\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Every model shares the same core construction. Here's what you're sleeping on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Honeycomb pocket springs.\u003C\u002Fstrong> We use 986 springs in a queen, arranged in a honeycomb pattern (not rows). This is what high-end European makers like Hästens and Vispring use – more springs per square metre means better contouring around your body. Springs are matched to your body weight before we build the mattress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>5 cm GOLS-certified natural latex.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Responsive and bouncy – the opposite of the slow-sinking feel of a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fausbeds.com.au\u002Fguides\u002Fmemory-foam-vs-latex-mattress\">memory foam mattress\u003C\u002Fa>. Natural latex is dust mite resistant, doesn't trap heat the way memory foam does, and lasts 3–4 times longer than synthetic foam. We've never seen a natural latex layer fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Microspring layers (Aurora and Cloud).\u003C\u002Fstrong> These sit between the latex and the pocket springs, providing cushioning at the shoulders and hips. The Cloud has two layers (3,200 microsprings on a queen), Aurora has one (1,600). The Cooper has none – it's for people who prefer less between them and the support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Tencel cover.\u003C\u002Fstrong> Eucalyptus-based fabric that stretches with the mattress. A stiff cover fights your springs and latex. Ours works with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>How adjustable is your mattress, really?\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>A lot of mattress brands use the word \"adjustable\" these days. But there are very different levels of adjustability, and it's worth understanding what each brand actually lets you change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fausbeds.com.au\u002Fguides\u002Fausbeds-vs-sleeping-duck-vs-koala\">\u003Cstrong>Koala Plus\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fa> has a flippable comfort layer – you unzip the cover and flip the top foam layer over for a different feel. Two firmness options. The springs underneath are fixed. Once the foam wears down, there's nothing to swap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fausbeds.com.au\u002Fguides\u002Fausbeds-vs-sleeping-duck-vs-koala\">\u003Cstrong>Sleeping Duck\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fa> uses swappable foam cartridges – you can order different inserts in soft, medium, or firm. It's a decent system for the comfort layer. But the 768 pocket springs underneath are fixed at one tension (quite firm), and they're sealed in. When the foam wears out after a few years, you replace the foam or buy a new mattress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fausbeds.com.au\u002Fguides\u002Fecosa-vs-emma-vs-eva\">\u003Cstrong>Ecosa Pure\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fa> is similar – the top comfort layer flips for two positions (medium-plush and medium). The spring tension underneath can't be changed. Their CoolComfort model has no adjustability at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fausbeds.com.au\u002Fguides\u002Fecosa-vs-emma-vs-eva\">\u003Cstrong>Eva Premium Adapt\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fa> goes further. You can rearrange the foam layers above the springs for up to 9 combinations, and they offer a half-half option for couples. But the springs themselves are still fixed – if the spring tension is wrong for your body weight, rearranging foam on top masks the problem rather than solving it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fausbeds.com.au\">\u003Cstrong>Ausbeds\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fa> is the only brand I know of where you can change the springs. We match spring tension to your body weight before we even build the mattress, and if it needs adjusting later, we swap the entire spring unit. On top of that, you get 3 firmness levels at home (felt repositioning and spring flip), plus you can swap the latex, add or remove microspring layers, and move between models.
