• More comfort is appreciated, so don’t be afraid to spend a little more

• Middle quality: A middle-quality mattress will offer improved support and durability with fewer features and benefits. Queen ensemble costs between $799 and $1299
• Superior quality: Has the best support systems available with more comfort layers and extra features, such as limited partner movement, latex, Posturepedic springs and chiropractic approved options. Queen ensemble ranges from $1399 to $4000 and upwards

Choose a mattress with good back support and minimal pressure.

• Choose Australian-made brands and consider those with individual pocket springs, Posturepedic or Miracoil spring cores, as these contour to your body shape
• Avoid excessive deep comfort layers that do not fully support body weight
• When mattress testing, lay on your side and check that your spine is straight. Spend around 10-20 minutes on the mattress to ensure you’re comfortable and supported
• Latex mattresses will mould to your body and eliminate pressure points

Select from a middle-quality range from any major brand.

• To suit the majority of your guests, choose a mattress that isn’t too hard or too soft

Only if extra comfort is required.

• If you choose a mattress whereby the whole mattress adjusts to your body weight, such as latex form or pocket springs, you may not need a pillow-top
• Pillow-top mattresses may develop body impressions. This is a normal occurrence as you sleep in the mattress rather than on it
• Naturally, however, there will be times when our prices are so low already that a cash offer may be the best way to go.

Different brands have different type of support system.

• Some brands have more partner disturbance than others
• Others, like full foam or full latex, feel quite “dead”
• It is common to feel comfortable with a brand or construction that you have previously owned, and if you do, it’s probably best to stick to what you like best
