Out with the old, in with the new! – Ausbeds are the gold standard for mattresses in Sydney, if not Australia. Every step of the way you get the best- customer service, craftsmanship, communication. Everything you could want, but more. What I love most is Karl’s commitment to sustainability- he redesigned the mattresses so they could be adjusted and repaired instead of being… Read more · 1
replaced. To me, that’s the ultimate reason to support an Australian, home grown, innovative business. And their prices are cheaper than what’s offered in DJ’s etc. how many people can say they had the business owner deliver their mattress to accomodate their disability (I have arthritis in my spine), put the bed together and take their rubbish with them? The mattress itself is wonderful- Karl showed me how I can adjust it to make it firmer again if I want (I got an 8/10 he showed me how to make it a 9, or a 10). He also adjusted the layers inside to ensure they were perfectly aligned before he left.
Excellent mattress and service – Great mattress, custom made as I am a hot sleeper. For me it feels as retains some heat but my partner doesn’t feel heat at all. Very comfortable. Great service, helpful manager and staff. Very impressed. Show details
Best Sleep in Years – Me and my husband have been having the best sleep we have had in years. Both of us don’t have great backs and we have been waking up painless and well rested.... I had almost forgotten what it was like to wake up and not still feel tired. The mattress is better than any 5 star hotel bed I’ve slept on. Being able to go to the factory and try all… Read more
the softness levels and type of mattresses really helped make the decision easy. We went around afterwards and tried out a full range of mattresses in many other stores and found that nothing at any price was comparable to what we found at Ausbeds. I researched their online reviews and was sold by the customer service responses and commitment to quality. The mattress is worth every cent! I have been recommending to everyone I know.

Promotion of a locally hand made great product – We recently bought a new firm Aurora Latex mattress with Ausbeds. It is really excellent quality and feels so nice and have comfortable sleep. Actually my wife always complain that her back pains with the previous queen bed however thing improved as no complains heard. We feel that we purchased a great Product after resting on this mattress having… Read more
considered with previous mattress experience of sagging after some time. Again considering the usage of any product on a day to day basis will be tired however this product have facilities of replacement of parts such as springs and any parts gone out of shape. In this regard you dont need to replace a new bed again and spend thousands. Ausbeds have been so friendly and helpful to chat with Martin for both purchase and delivery. We had our mattress delivered to Glenwood in 2 days time after the weekend and the Ausbeds delivery driver and his service was excellent and efficient in assembling the mattress. Overall an awesome experience, highly recommend Ausbeds!
Great bed, great business! – We'd struggled with back issues with our old mattress, and the flexibility and customisation of Ausbeds really appealed to us. We dropped in to the warehouse in Marrickville and had a good chat with Karl, who was really helpful and made everything very easy to understand. He didn't rush us at all and really let us feel confident and comfortable… Read more
with the mattress we ended up picking out. Karl even suggested a method to easily adjust firmness between the two sides of the bed at no extra cost, which was a fantastic bonus. Hannah and Martin in the team were also very helpful in the after sales area. The delivery team works for Ausbeds specifically, which means they took the time to get everything delivered and in place without rushing like a 3rd party carrier might, and again really took the time to make sure we were happy with everything.
If you're looking for a mattress company that will go the extra mile to make sure you're getting the best night's rest, really recommend Ausbeds - my partner and I are very happy with our purchase!
Adjustability is the Key – I have slept on a waterbed for 38 years, so when it was time to change to a more conventional type of bed, it had to be a good one. I ordered the Aurora in the "Medium" (5,6 or7) firmness after discussing my options with Karl. I thought the 6 would suit me, even though Karl had suggested the 5 might be more appropriate. After giving the 6 a two… Read more
weeks trial, I had to concede that Karl knows more about beds (and customers' needs) than I do! I changed the bed to a 5 and it is now perfect.
I have just finished my fine tuning by trialing three different latex rubber pillows with different firmness and height and settled on a Dunlopillo Medium feel High loft. It goes very well with the 50mm latex layer in the top of the Aurora bed.
Martin, who delivered the bed, gave me good advice on how best to maintain the bed to get the best performance such as rotating the microsprings occasionally.
Karl also gave me a good tip on selecting the best sheets (at least the fitted bottom sheet) with a stretch jersey knit which allows the mattress to flex and adjust to suit individual needs.
While I do not have a long track record of sleeping on a mattress with innersprings, on the occasion of staying over at family or friends places ( who tend to spend big on beds) I would have to say that the Ausbeds Aurora is at the top of the list.

Excellent customer service 10/10 I bought an Aurora 6 years ago but I wanted to swap to a firmer bed. I went to the showroom thinking I need to pay for a whole new bed since my bed is from before they had the modular design they have today. Aimee gave me a massive discount for the 4 years of life remaining on my bed and now I’m sorted with a new firm bed that’s super comfortable. Show details
Great people, keen to help and make it easy to make adjustments. The bed is very comfortable now that we’ve adjusted it to our individual preferences and we’re sleeping well. I emailed a few times after purchasing and they were always quicker than I expected to reply or call. More generally, I love the concept of this mattress - I’ve opened it… Read more
up and made changes to the innards a few times, and if a layer ever needs replacing you only need to replace that one layer. It is heavy, definitely (which comes with using latex) and it’s tough to change the sheets, but after months of trying other mattresses I’m really happy to have found the right one.
We bought the Ausbeds Aurora 7 from the Marrickville showroom in August 2025 and we absolutely love it. The mattress has great support and feels airy and comfortable. I really like the adjustable layers that let you fine-tune the firmness. Such a… Read more
clever idea!
Karl, the owner, took the time to explain how he designed and built the bed, and you can really tell the thought and quality that went into it. They never do discounts, but this bed is totally worth the price. I’m sure we’ll need some layer adjustments as we get older and I’m confident Ausbeds will continue to meet our needs.
Never going back to a box bed again as you can’t try them out physically, and for something you use for 1/3 of your life, you really should test it in person first. Highly recommend Ausbeds for anyone looking for a well-made, customisable mattress and friendly, knowledgeable service.
Follow-up · Follow up on 14/11/2025. The bed is softer now without the (fitted) heated blanket on top. Softer in the way we remembered when we tried it in the showroom. We love this bed that it is soft but still support our back very well. Really highly recommended.
We bought the Aurora King Mattress from Aus Beds recently and couldn’t be happier. The customer service was awesome – super friendly and helpful, and the whole process was really easy. We went with the 12 firmness level and it’s been spot on for us. We’re both side sleepers and it’s got that nice balance – firm enough to feel supportive, but still… Read more
comfortable in all the right places. Not too soft, not too hard. We’ve had the mattress for several months now and there’s been no dipping or sagging at all – still feels just as good as day one. Overall, really impressed and would definitely recommend.
I absolutely love this mattress! I haven’t had one this comfortable in a very long time. Since switching over, I’ve been sleeping soundly every single night and waking up feeling great. The comfort and support are perfect for my needs and I’m so glad I chose Ausbeds. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a better night’s sleep! Show details

This is the way to go. Excellent bed, that uses excellent materials. Price is comparable to other thousand dollar beds, but is customisable before and after delivery. I got the Aurora with half/half different sides and could not be happier. I had lower lumbar issues on old mattress and this has helped considerably. The owner's communication is… Read more
also second to none. Have and would recommend getting your mattress from here, even if you are not from Sydney - like I was in Brisbane.
I have had the mattress for over a year now and has been comfortable. I went for an 8 firmness. I decided I wanted a firmer feel, emailed Ausbeds and they posted me out another layer for no charge that I installed myself by unzipping the outer covering to make it a 9. Good customer service. I will now buy a single mattress for my daughter from Ausbeds. Show details
I did a fair bit of research before buying a bed and am so happy I found Ausbeds. The bed is great and adaptable should my comfort requirements change. The delivery to Brisbane smooth as too. I don't usually respond to company surveys but I am really happy to support this Australian company, they understand beds and customer service. What else do you really want in a bed purchase?

Absolutely superb customer service from order to delivery. Had a dedicated delivery man deliver the mattress at 8pm before a public holiday in the pouring rain. Bed is high quality and very comfortable. Simple to put together. My partner and I both find it comfortable having bought the mattress without testing first. Best quality sleep I've had in a while.

I bought an Aurora around 4 1/2 years ago for $1,880.00. It was a terrible decision which I regret. The mattress was not firm as I ordered. I tried the mattress in the showroom but realised it was not the same firmness too late to get a replacement. I was sent a 6, not a 10. It was ordered before the new add filling for support option was… Read more
brought in. So I now have a mattress that sags. It became uncomfortable and lumpy very quickly. The mattress stains very easily too. I'm going to throw it out shortly but wanted to leave these comments here for the record. I honestly do not know why mine seems to be the only poor review on this site.
UPDATE: THANKS SO MUCH TO [Name Removed] FOR ORGANISING A REFUND AFTER SO LONG, AND FOR PICKING UP MY MATTRESS. I appreciate his goodwill arranging this and am confident he's listened to the issues I raised and is doing his best to address these in Ausbed processes.
Friendly, no pressure sales service was a good start. We're very happy with the mattress itself - sleeping a bit cooler than our previous memory foam/bamboo mattress. I also like that we could (in theory) switch the setup so that each side has a different firmness. Show details
Best New Years present ever – Fantastic service from Tim at Ausbeds. He walked us through the various models and addressed our particular needs perfectly. We initially visited the unmanned store in Willoughby and followed with a factory inspection where all of our questions were answered. We were specifically after a bed that would not generate heat and therefore allow a… Read more · 1
cooler nights sleep. After one week we are extremely happy and enjoying cooler nights. The flexibility and configuration of the mattress is the secret. My side of the bed is softer and my partners side is slightly more firm. But the innersprings and the thin layer of latex are keeping us both cooler. It's a winner.
Recommend this bed highly – Feels like the best bed I have slept on, ever. I am trying it out in the setting in which it was delivered and like that I can vary the softness/give to see if I like a different feel, over time. I'm very pleased with the bed and have to mention how helpful Martin was in the store. His attention and patience with what must be the same questions… Read more
from people seeing the beds for the first time was admirable. The offers of ongoing assistance once I had the bed are much appreciated too.
Only mattress I’ll ever buy – We purchased our first mattress 3 years ago and have slept very well on it over the last 3 years. Purchased another this year when we moved house for our spare bedroom. Would not look at another mattress and will keep coming back to this local Australian made product. The owner is passionate about sleep and is always looking to improve his product through customer feedback, research and testing the mattresses himself. Show details · 1

Couldn’t be happier with our new king mattress! – The adjustability feature was a big selling point, but it’s been comfortable as-is and we haven’t felt the need to change the layers at all. Although it’s not the cheapest option, the ability to change the firmness, wash the cover, and replace worn parts makes it feel like a solid, future-proof investment. The delivery to Canberra was $190 and… Read more
took a week. Karl was very helpful and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Overall, we feel like we’ve found a mattress that will keep us comfortable for years to come!
Ausbeds = Highly Recommend! – Mattress has been super comfortable from the start and we haven't even played around with the different firmness levels. Highly recommend the mattress but also the ausbeds team/brand. They do an amazing job and you can genuinely tell they care. Their after care services so far have been amazing, I don't anticipate any problems but if there are, I don't doubt they'll be fixed asap! Give ausbeds a great mattress/service!
Very comfortable & fine-tuned – Extremely comfortable, and the team were & continue to be generous in their support around this excellent mattress. Have gladly recommended to friends without hesitation. Show details
Excellent product at a very reasonable price – We love our Aurora mattress so much that it was a no-brainer when we needed a new mattress for our son's bedroom... rinse and repeat!! This is an excellent product at a very reasonable price. We initially tested at the Marrickville factory... and if you go there you'll get good service and advice. Thoroughly recommended.

Super comfy mattress – Our first mattress was Ausbed and when it was time for a replacement we went with the same company because we liked it so much. We got a firmer one this time around. It's very comfortable and came with a great mattress protector. The only downside is that the mattress is extremely heavy - needs 2 of us to change the bed! Worth it for the comfort though.

Amazing! – The mattress is everything I was hoping for and more. I’ve has it for a month now and had a great night’s rest every night since. The in-store experience is second to none and the ability to customise and adjust the mattress, not just when it’s bought but over time as well, really is a game changer. Show details
Great bed – Found Ausbed recommended on Ozbargain, and was impressed that they are Aussie owned and the beds are assembled here, so went to their Marrackville store to check them out. Was served by Karl who was great; knowledgeable but not pushy. Karl was also the one who delivered the mattress. Again a pleasure to deal with and showed us how to modify the… Read more
mattress hardness. We originally went with the number 10 setting ( hardest) and tried that out for a few weeks. Was very comfortable but just a little too hard. So did a quick adjustment ( Karl did show us but there are also instructional videos on their website) and changed it to a 9, and now perfect.
Best mattress ever – We ordered the Aurora Medium King in May '23 and have been sleeping on it every night since then. This is probably the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. I've used many bed-in-a-box mattresses over the last several years and every single one dips in the middle after only a few months. I went for ausbeds because they promised no sagging… Read more
and I have to say this has held up so well. The mattress looks pristine after all these months and despite being the lightest sleeper ever, I've been able to sleep uninterrupted till morning for the first time in years. I cannot thank ausbeds enough for elevating my sleep experience and I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again and again and again. Also, service and delivery was top notch. The owner himself showed up and it's always a pleasure to deal with someone who cares so much about his product. You just know you're getting something that's worth your money and time.
