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!
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.
Consider buying an Aurora-range AusBed – A few years ago we thought about getting a better mattress. We’d never found ours really comfortable. We went to one of those showroom places and felt very embarrassed as we tried out mattresses, lying next to each other, with salespeople looking on. The mattress we liked best was $6,000. But the trouble was it was very hard to be sure which we… Read more · 1
liked best (somehow the memory of how something feels fades very rapidly!). $6,000 was a lot of money! After a couple of years overseas we came back to find our mattress (stored wrapped in plastic in our garden shed) had gone mouldy. Suddenly we had to buy one. A day of googling suggested that our options were either to buy from one of the big showroom places or to get a ‘bed-in-a-box’-style mattress from some of the new online firms. We were pretty set to buy a bed-in-a-box, as they all had good returns policies giving typically 100 days to try out the mattress in the privacy of one’s own home. But our Google search also threw up a Reddit link to [Name Removed] of AusBeds. He runs a business making mattresses in Marrickville, Sydney and his post taught us a lot about mattresses. He said latex was important for a long-lasting mattress. https://www.ausbeds.com.au/whats-the-best-mattress-in-australia/ We googled his site and found he had a showroom in Willoughby. But this was a showroom with a difference! It was unstaffed. You simply walked in off the street and there were [Name Removed]’s Aurora beds - about 8 mattresses all of different firmness to try out. It was wonderful not to feel pressured and just to be able to do our own thing in our own time. There was written information about the mattresses and [Name Removed]’s mobile number in case we had questions. We did. So we rang [Name Removed] in his factory. He answered everything we asked and explained how the different levels of firmness were achieved. You could unzip the mattresses and see the layers within. It wasn’t rocket science, but it all made a lot of sense and it was clear [Name Removed] had put a lot of thought into it. Although he could get a wider market by putting his mattresses in boxes, he told us that he hadn’t yet found a way to do this while preserving the extra stiffness around the edges of the mattress that he felt was important. We decided to order two mattresses - one for us and one for guests. Well to cut a long story short, the mattresses were delivered and we have been sleeping on ours for over a week. It’s perfect. We have never had such a comfortable bed! The cost of our queen was about $2,500. We are very relieved that we didn’t spend $6,000 five years ago and we know that we have a period of (I think 100 days) in which we can call [Name Removed]’s team out to adjust the firmness at no cost, but we are confident we won’t need to do that. If you live in Sydney and are looking for a mattress, consider checking out [Name Removed]’s showroom in Willoughby. There is another showroom at Marrickville. www.ausbeds.com.au

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.
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.
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
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

This is Perfect! – This is a great mattress. I went to a showroom with no staff and tried around 9 mattresses. Selected one of them, and ordered online. After around one month I can’t see any problem or issues with physical shape (sagging) of the mattress. It looks like this new method of manufacturing is more durable than traditional spring system.

Best sleep in years! – The mattress is fantastic! The service from Ausbeds is excellent and the delivery is very quick. Martin was very thorough in setting up the mattress and walking us through the steps to adjust the firmness. I used to wake most mornings with a sore back, but the Aurora mattress has solved that problem. I wish I had bought it sooner. It's great to… Read more
see that the Ausbeds mattresses can be unzipped and any internal parts can be replaced, which will increase the life of the mattress. Can't fault the quality of the Aurora or the service from Ausbeds.
Superb product – We love our new mattress. It has just the right amount of firmness, and we like how the firmness can be adjusted - this is a real innovation. This is a great Aussie made product. Highly recommended. Show details
Great quality service and beds. Sleeping like a dream – Fantastic service from Karl & Martin in store and delivery. We visited many times to make sure we were happy. More importantly the bed is top quality and sleep has been a dream. Very satisfied with our purchase. We chose these guys over the online only shops as we got to test it out, got loads of info, the changeable system and locally made for easy customer service. Show details
Fantastic bed! – I ordered Aurora Queen, firm and a matching base, and had them delivered to Melbourne. Delivery was smooth. I had to help the delivery man, who is a solo operator. But that was no problem for me. I'm over 100kg. Karl advised me to go with firm springs rather than medium. Karl knows his stuff and took the time to answer all my questions via the website chat and then via email. My sleep is much improved. I wholeheartedly recommend Ausbeds! Show details

Excellent product, awesome service! – I've just moved over from New Zealand and wanted a quality bed since we spend 1/3 of all our time in bed. I came across AusBeds online. The first thing I noticed was that Karl (the owner) is really passionate about answering questions about beds in general online and helps clear up misconceptions. You don't see big retailers doing this! When I… Read more · 1
got to Sydney I visited the Marrickville factory shop and Karl showed me through the AusBeds product range. He advised me I should pick a bed based on what's most comfortable to me purely based on feel. I was shown the layering system which allows you to fully customise the softness vs firmness of your mattress. Karl gave me the privacy to try out each bed without any pressure
Karl also gave me advice about the materials used in each bed and how that relates back to comfort and also longevity.
In the end I decided to get the Aurora. Karl helped me to place my order and arrange free delivery to me in Newtown. He also threw in a free mattress protector at no extra charge :)
When the delivery was made I was taken through best practices in terms of what orientation the base and mattress should be put, how the layering system works, and any questions I had were covered.
Overall I would definitely highly recommend AusBeds not only for their excellent product range but also their awesome service standard.
Even after I placed my order I experienced the same service standard in store - I needed to change my delivery date and called AusBeds and this was changed no issue. Karl also directly followed up with me via text and email to make sure I was enioying the product and to give me the opportunity to ask questions or report issues.
Thank you AusBeds!
New mattress – Made a decision to purchase a mattress from Ausbeds after reading many positive reviews online. Karl provides amazing customer service. The mattress was designed with our weights in mind, the delivery was swift from Sydney to Melbourne and it is super comfy, no smells & great value for money. Happy customers and glad to support an Australian business! Show details · 1
