We earn advertising and referral fees from many of the brands we rank, and those fees affect where they appear.

Top3 Mattress compares mattresses sold in Australia, and we make our money when a reader buys through one of our links. Brands pay us advertising and referral fees, and those arrangements affect which mattresses we cover and how high they sit in our rankings. Some mattresses here have no arrangement with us at all.

Every mattress is scored against the same ten published criteria, and each of the ten scores is shown alongside the total. What those criteria measure, and how the total is set, are laid out on our How we rate page. The work behind the scores is desk work: we read published specifications, warranty documents and trial terms, and cross-check them against each manufacturer's own pages. We do not buy these mattresses and sleep on them, and no score here comes from in-home testing.

We do not cover every mattress sold in Australia, and the ones we can earn a commission on are more likely to be among the ones we do cover. Prices, trial lengths and warranty terms change without notice, so check the brand's own page before you buy. A ranking here is not a guarantee about a product and not an endorsement of it. Our full terms are set out in the Terms of use.

Head to head

Origin LumbarCloud Mattress vs Sealy

Two expensive mattresses, bought in completely different ways. The LumbarCloud arrives in a box with a 120-night trial and a fifteen-year warranty behind it. The Sealy is chosen in a showroom from four firmness levels, and neither its page nor the retailer’s states a trial, so the firmness decision is final at the point of sale. Both are tall builds; only one lets you change your mind afterwards.

Sealy

  • No sleep trial, so the showroom is the only chance to test it
  • Sealy does not sell direct; you buy through Harvey Norman
