Updated November 2026
If your old mattress is lumpier than nan's gravy, it’s time to do yourself, your sleep and your back a favour and get a new one. Finding the best mattress for your sleep position and body weight is essential for proper spinal alignment and minimising back pain.
Modern hybrid mattresses blend the durability of pocket springs with the contouring pressure relief of comfort foams. Whether you need a firm surface for back and stomach sleepers or a plush Euro top that best caters to side sleepers, there’s a lot of choice out there.
To make your decision a little easier, here’s our rundown of the most popular mattresses with Appliances Online’s Australian customers in 2026. And remember, we deliver mattresses for free and can take your old one away for free recycling, so it doesn't need to end its days on the nature strip!

Type: Pocket spring and continuous coil systems dominate this selection, paired with layered comfort foams and quilted sleep surfaces engineered for spinal alignment and pressure relief.
Brands: Trusted, Aussie-made heritage brands fill out the entire list: Sealy claims three spots (#3, #4, and #5), while A.H. Beard holds the top two positions.
Design features: Profile heights sit between 210mm and 250mm across the lineup. Key structural inclusions across all models include reinforced edge support (Performa Edge, EdgeGuard, or CornerGuard) to maximise usable sleep area, and breathable, treated fabrics (such as Climalux, SmarTex, and HealthShield) for improved airflow, allergen defence, and temperature control.
Firmness split: Medium feels make up three of the top five (#1, #2, and #4) for balanced, versatile contouring, while two dedicated firm options (#3 and #5) cater specifically to back and stomach sleepers needing extra lumbar resistance.
Warranty: Every mattress on this list is backed by a comprehensive 10-year manufacturer's warranty.
Price: The dollar symbols indicate where each model sits on the price scale in relation to this list, from lower cost ($) of under $600, to medium cost ($$) of between $600 and $900, and higher cost ($$$) of over $900. Most models sit in the budget ($) and mid-range ($$) brackets. The price brackets are in relation only to the other mattresses on this list. Higher priced mattresses are available, but these options are best sellers.
Prices shown represent Queen size (or King Single where specified, as with the Sealy Eva and Banjo models) for comparison, with most models available across single to king dimensions.

Appliances Online product expert Colin Jones says that while buying a new mattress can make a big difference to how well you sleep, you should consider whether you might also need a new bed base:
“If you have a quality ensemble base in good condition you're probably all good, but if you have a slat base it's worth checking the state of the slats for any breaks and also the distance between slats, because large gaps can undo the good work of your new mattress. The slats should be close together, maybe 50-60mm gap between each slat - any more than that and the mattress won’t provide the support you need because it isn’t being fully supported itself.’

Made in Australia, this medium-firm mattress combines spinal support through its Conforma Coil Support System with the comfort of Ultraloft surface cushioning and comfort foams.
Suitable for a variety of body types and sleep styles, it has a 10-year manufacturer's warranty and sits comfortably in the mid-range price bracket for this list.
What customers say:

The Domino Sapporo mattress shares many of the same features as its A.H. Beard stablemate (#1), including a medium firmness level, the Conforma Coil support system for motion isolation, and a 10-year warranty.
It takes things up a notch, though, with its Performa Edge Support and its advanced Climalux quilting, which helps hot sleepers by dissipating heat and improving airflow.
What customers say:
Very happy with this mattress. I’ve replaced all our mattresses with AH Beard, as they are lightweight yet super comfortable. Guests comment on how well they’ve slept, and we’ve been guaranteed a good night’s sleep since installing this latest one. My only suggestion for improvement would be some handles or similar to assist in rotating the mattresses, but this is offset by their light weight.” - RegionalWA, June 2026
