Firm Mattresses

Our extensive range of mattresses features industry-leading brands. For firm (and super firm) mattress ranges, we offer great brands like Sleepyhead and SleepMaker mattresses. These models are engineered to provide extra support where it’s needed most. From entry-level options to high-end luxury, a firm mattress offers the back support you need.

Our featured selection includes:

• Sleepyhead Sanctuary – A premium hybrid mattress that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation for a superior good night's sleep.

• Sleepyhead Slumber & Deluxe Slumber - Providing a supportive and comfortable sleep surface, the Slumber mattress features full width pocket springs to ensure targeted support where you need it most.

• SleepMaker Osteo - Endorsed by Osteopathy Australia, the 5-zone Flexicoil system adapts to your body, while naturally cooling KulKote Silver and pressure-relieving Latex Gold create a comfortable, temperature regulated sleep environment.

• SleepMaker Miracoil Strahan - This mattress is ideal if you prioritise back support and a healthier sleep. Featuring a supporting system designed to promote proper spinal alignment and reduce back stress.

Selecting the best firm option depends on your unique sleep position and whether you prefer more or less cushioning to feel true comfort. View details for each product to compare the specific comfort layers of these ranges.

Why That Firm Mattress Feel Matters

The benefits of a firmer sleep surface extend far beyond the initial feel. While foam mattress options or other plush alternatives create that ‘sinking into bed’ feeling, a firmer level of support might suit you better for long-term comfort and proper spinal alignment. For those struggling with back pain, a hard mattress can often provide the necessary support to alleviate discomfort by preventing the hip and lower back from sinking too deeply.

Key advantages include:

• Improved Spinal Alignment: Keeps the neck and back in a neutral position, which is vital for back and stomach sleepers.

• Enhanced Breathability: Because you lay "on top" of the material, there is better airflow around the body to manage body heat.

• Ease of Movement: Unlike a soft mattress, where you sink into the mattress, a firmer surface makes it easier to change positions.

• Durability: The use of high-density materials helps ensure durability and prevents the body impressions sometimes seen in a soft alternative.

Features to Look for in The Best Firm Mattresses

When shopping for a new mattress, it is important to look past the surface and understand the internal engineering.

• Support System: Look for a pocket spring mattress if you want individualised contouring and zero partner disturbance.

• Edge Integrity: A better edge support system increases the usable sleep surface of your mattress.

• Material Quality: While latex offers a reactive comfort feel, a memory foam layer can provide excellent pressure relief while maintaining a high firmness level.

• Stability: Check the edge support to ensure you can lie right to the edge and still feel comfortable, preventing that “rolling off the bed” feeling.

• If you find that a super firm mattress is too rigid, you might consider a medium firm option, which sits right in the middle of the firmness scale. Get firm mattresses online or in-store from Beds R Us.

Which Firm Mattress Feel Suits Your Needs?

For Back and Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleepers and back sleepers typically require the most ample support to keep their hips from dipping. An extra firm mattress could be the best choice here, as this mattress provides the body with even weight distribution across the entire mattress.

For Those Seeking Pressure Relief

If you suffer from sensitive pressure points, look for a model that utilises foam or specialised gel comfort layers on top of a rigid base. This should provide the spinal alignment you need without causing numbness in the shoulders or hips.

For Couples

To minimise partner disturbance, we often find a mattress with independent pocket springs most suitable for couples. This technology ensures that movement on one side of the bed doesn't travel across the sleep surface and is strong enough to support two adults comfortably.
