Frequently asked questions

General
How do I choose the right mattress for me?
Start with your body weight, main sleep position and preferred surface feel: plush and softer, or balanced and responsive. Our mattress guide uses those answers to recommend the spring support and cushioning that should suit you best.
For couples, use both sleepers' details. If you have an injury, unusual support needs or simply want to talk it through, call us on (02) 8999 3333, and we’ll help you choose.
How firm should my mattress be?
Choose the latex surface feel first, then use body weight to select medium or firm springs. Sleep position helps choose the Aurora or Cloud cushioning. We can guide you, or you can try every firmness option in a showroom.
How long should a mattress last?
An Ausbeds mattress is designed so the latex, springs, cover and other components can be replaced individually rather than discarding the whole mattress. The mattress has a 10-year warranty covering manufacturing defects and significant premature deterioration. Normal wear and future comfort changes are handled through adjustments or paid replacement components.
How do I know it's time to replace my current mattress?
Age alone doesn’t tell you. If you’re waking up sore, sinking into a dip, or consistently sleeping better elsewhere, check the mattress and bed base.
A flexible or sagging base can feel like a worn-out mattress. If the support or comfort layers have genuinely deteriorated and cannot be repaired or replaced, it may be time for a new mattress. With an Ausbeds mattress, we can usually replace the affected component instead of the whole mattress.
Do I need a mattress topper?
No. Toppers can make a bed feel softer, but they often just cover up the real issue rather than fixing it.
If something feels off, it’s usually the base or the springs underneath, and a topper won’t correct that. If you ever want to adjust the feel, it’s better to start with the base and springs first, then look at the comfort layer.
Will this mattress help with back pain?
Many customers with back issues have told us they sleep better on our mattresses. We highly recommend trying them out yourself if you are in Sydney.
Is this mattress good for side/stomach/back sleepers?
Pick the mattress by how you sleep and the feel you like. Side sleepers who like it soft often prefer the Cloud, back sleepers usually prefer the Aurora, and stomach sleepers who like it really firm prefer the Cooper. Then choose the springs for your weight. Not sure? Call us and we'll help you choose.
Do I need to flip or rotate my mattress?
No. You don’t need to rotate or flip it. Our mattresses are single‑sided and made with natural latex, which is much more resilient than the cheap foam that usually needs rotating to hide sagging. Just leave it as it is and let it do its thing.
Product questions
What are your mattresses made from?
Each Ausbeds mattress is made with natural latex foam, honeycomb pocket springs, and durable, breathable fabrics. No memory foam, no cheap fillers.
What’s the difference between your models?
The Cloud and Aurora both use natural latex over 2 micro spring layers, honeycomb pocket springs and a zippered cover. The Cloud has soft latex for a soft feel; the Aurora has medium latex for a balanced feel. The Cooper has medium latex over a foam layer with firm springs, for a very firm bed.
Why does the Aurora now have two layers of micro springs?
The Aurora used to have one layer of micro springs. We now make it with two, because with firmer springs underneath, two layers give better cushioning and comfort, even for back sleepers. The medium latex on top still keeps you on the mattress rather than sinking into it.
If you're after the single-layer Aurora, try the current Aurora first. If it feels slightly too cushioned, contact us during your 7-month trial and we'll adjust it.
Own an earlier Aurora? We still support it with parts and adjustments.
What firmness options do you offer?
Choose soft latex for a plush surface or medium latex for a balanced, responsive surface. With soft latex, we use medium springs under 80kg and firm springs from 80kg. With medium latex, we use medium springs under 100kg and firm springs from 100kg. Soft latex is only available in the Cloud. Sleep position then helps choose the mattress.
Do your mattresses sleep hot?
No. We use breathable latex and open spring construction. No heat-trapping memory foam here. Many hot sleepers love our mattresses.
Are Ausbeds mattresses suitable for adjustable bases?
Yes, all Ausbeds mattresses work on adjustable bed bases.
Do your mattresses contain memory foam?
No, we don't use memory foam at all. Instead, we use natural latex, which is cooler, more responsive, and more durable.
Where are your mattresses made?
Every Ausbeds mattress is handmade in our Gladesville workshop in Sydney. We're proudly local.
Are your mattresses hypoallergenic or dust-mite resistant?
Latex is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mould, and bacteria.
How heavy are your mattresses?
Our current Queen mattresses weigh about 56kg for the Aurora and 62kg for the Cloud.
Can I use my existing frame or bed base?
In most cases, yes. As long as your base is flat and supportive, it'll work just fine. If you're unsure, send us a photo and we'll check for you.

Sleep trial and returns
Do you offer a trial period?
Yes. Every mattress includes a 7-month sleep trial and 2 free firmness swaps for the latex or springs. You only pay delivery for a firmness swap.
How does the trial period work?
Try your mattress at home for 7 months from delivery. If the feel is not quite right, call us and we will help decide whether changing the latex or springs will improve it. Your first 2 firmness swaps are free and you only pay delivery.
What happens if I don't like the mattress?
Call us and tell us what you are noticing. In most cases we can improve the comfort with a firmness swap, but you do not have to use a swap before requesting a return during the trial.
Can I exchange my mattress for a different model or firmness?
We can change the latex or springs without replacing the whole mattress. Contact us first so we can check your current setup and recommend the right firmness.
Can I exchange my mattress for a different size?
No. Our policy covers comfort-related swaps, not exchanges in mattress size.
How do I return the mattress?
Contact us within your 7-month trial. We will confirm the return costs, arrange pickup and process the refund after the mattress reaches our facility. See the returns page for the full process.
Are there any fees for firmness swaps or returns?
Your first 2 firmness swaps are free and you only pay delivery. Returns incur a $90 processing fee plus a return pickup fee, charged at the same rate as your original mattress delivery.
