Australia makes more than its fair share of mattresses, so you can be well supported in bed while supporting the local economy.
From well-established names like Sealy to discount furniture stores like freedom, there's a wide selection of top-rated mattresses to suit your needs and preferences.
Looking for a new mattress? We know a place or two that sell Australian made spring and foam mattresses at affordable prices. And if you're a little stuck on how to choose one, check out our guide for everything you need to consider to have the perfect night's sleep.

The major players in the mattress space that are made in Australia are official Australian Made licensees. That means they've applied for and been approved to bear the Australian Made triangle logo. This guarantees that they are definitely manufactured in Australia.
Other products might still be made in Australia but just haven't applied for this license. In this case, it's worth having a look on the product's page to see if there is any reference to it being made in Australia or to its country of origin.
You may also find in your endeavours that some mattresses use Australian made products but are assembled outside of Australia. Or vice-versa. Again, you should be able to find this information on the product's or brand's websites. Otherwise, you can contact the company directly for confirmation of the mattresses' origins.
The benefits of buying Australian made mattresses are wide and many. Here's a snapshot of the points for buying locally:
The short answer is no. Like most products, there are high-end and low-end mattresses on the market, both of which are made in Australia and overseas.
But like most products, those on the lower end are made from cheap material while those on the higher end are made of quality materials and often incorporate technology that supports you in bed for a good night's sleep.
This isn't to say you can't get good quality for a good price. Thanks to the emergence of the mattress-in-a-box, brands like Sleeping Duck and Ecosa sell foam-based mattresses that use high quality materials yet retail for under $1,000. They keep costs down by not having showrooms and salespeople.
Most of these are not made in Australia.
