Are you tired of tossing and turning all night? Look no further because we’ve got your back (ha!) with today’s roundup. 

From soft as a cloud to firm as a rock, we’ve got the inside scoop on what will give you the best night’s sleep – mattress-wise!

How We Chose the Best Mattresses in New Zealand

First, take a look at the criteria we used to evaluate the entries:

Comfort – A good mattress should provide adequate cushioning and support for your body. It should conform to your body’s curves, relieve pressure points, and align your spine in a natural position.

Durability – A good mattress should last at least seven years, providing consistent comfort and support throughout its lifespan. Durability is affected by the quality of materials, construction, and maintenance. 

Features – A good mattress should have features that cater to your specific needs. Features like temperature regulation, motion isolation, edge support, and adjustability can enhance your sleeping experience.

Size – A good mattress should be large enough to accommodate your body comfortably and promote healthy sleep posture.

We’ve scoured the market for the best beds in New Zealand, and we’re happy to report that Emma Comfort Mattress is among our winners. Gone are the days of tossing and turning, trying to find that sweet spot – this multi-awarded mattress is a dream for us.

One thing we love about them is their eco-friendly and ultra-breathable foams, which keep heat regulated and airflow optimal. 

Plus, its seven zones of full-body support and two layers of foam ensure that you’re comfy. It’s a bit like you’re sleeping on a cloud actually, and one that really hugs the shape of your body.

And can we talk about the point elastic foam? No matter what crazy sleeping position we end up in, this mattress has our back (and our hips, and our necks, and… you get the point). And it’s not just us – our trial partners can attest to the same comfort level.

Now, if you’re not completely sold on this mattress yet, you can try it out for 120 nights with free shipping and returns nationwide. A lot of these companies offer trials anyway, so we really recommend trying those out. 

Shipping is also fast, with 1 to 3-day shipment to Auckland and metro areas and 7 to 10-day delivery to rural areas. There were just a few hiccups in placing orders, but that’s all.

The cherry on top is their 10-year warranty which always gives us a breath of reassurance. There’s an Emma Comfort Mattress for every budget and preference, too, with a price range of $1,350 to $2,100 for their six available sizes.

Customer Reviews

Transformed my sleep!

Transformed my sleep! I have lower back problems and had been having problems sleeping for years. The first night on our new mattress I slept straight through and woke up pain-free. It sounds cheesy, but the Emma has literally transformed my sleep. – Catriona M.

Perfect firmness

Very comfortable in most sleeping positions. Firm enough that I only feel limited movement if my partner moves or gets up in the night. Comes packed into a box, which seems strange on arrival but after 24 hours laid flat, it springs up perfectly and has maintained its shape. – Helen B.

Our experience with NZ Beds Mattress left us thoroughly impressed.

In the quest for a regal night’s sleep, the Royal Slumberzone Royal Slumber Mattress emerges as the undisputed choice, truly living up to its name as a mattress fit for a king.

This luxurious sleep solution boasts a plethora of features that cater to both comfort and health, making it an exceptional investment for those who cherish their sleep.

At the core of this majestic mattress lies a remarkable innovation—the Coppertine springs. With over 1500+ individually wrapped pocket springs, these springs combine the strength of copper-coated titanium and steel to create a supportive foundation.

What sets these springs apart is their exclusivity to Slumberzone, promising unmatched durability and resilience.

The quest for a comfortable and supportive mattress doesn’t end there. The Royal Slumber Mattress incorporates Hi-matte natural latex, a material renowned for its ability to provide excellent back support and spine alignment.

This ensures you awaken each morning feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

Temperature control is another aspect where the Royal Slumber Mattress shines. Its utilization of black diamond foam allows for advanced temperature regulation, preventing you from overheating during the night and ensuring a comfortable, sweat-free sleep.

To top off this masterpiece, the mattress is adorned with soft, breathable, and luxurious camel wool. This natural material not only adds to the plushness but also aids in moisture wicking, keeping you cozy in colder nights and cool during summer.

For those concerned about hygiene, the Royal Slumber Mattress offers a unique feature – the demask fabric treated with Virase technology. This non-toxic and skin-friendly treatment acts as a protective shield against bacteria, mold, dust mites, and even viruses.

It ensures your sleeping sanctuary remains clean and free from harmful intruders, contributing to a healthier and safer sleep environment.

It’s as if the Sandman himself moonlights as their chief designer, for we found ourselves drifting into slumber with unprecedented ease.

However, they can get busy attending to clients during peak days due to popularity. We recommend booking them ahead of time.

Customer Reviews

“Finally realising that a good bed is well worth paying for, Since picking up the bed and setting it up, we have both found that it is the best bed we have ever slept on. Personally having a bad back for over 30 years this particular bed has made a big difference. Also living in a fairly cold place, we have been pleasantly surprised that there has been no need for any extra heating such as an electric blanket. In the weekend it is hard to get out of, but again, having the experience of being able to sleep in, is again very unique.” — Stuart and Pam Campbell

“We recently bought a bed from NZ Beds, We found the staff knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Being manufacturers as well as retailers meant tailoring our bed to our unique needs wasn’t a problem and the entire transaction was seamless. We believe they offered good value for money, so would buy from them again.” — Fred Witton

Our recent encounter with Ecomfort Mattress, a prominent name in the world of bedding, has been nothing short of delightful. The mattress industry is a competitive arena, but Ecomfort Mattress manages to stand out in more ways than one.

In the digital age, where convenience meets comfort, the Ecomfort Postureline Mattress emerges as an online mattress solution that redefines your sleeping experience. With its impressive features and adaptable design, it’s a game-changer in the world of mattresses.

One of the standout features of the Ecomfort Postureline Mattress is the option to choose your preferred comfort level. Available in both soft and medium feels, it accommodates the diverse needs and preferences of sleepers, ensuring that your nights are tailor-made to perfection.

This mattress truly shines in its mission to provide superior back support. It achieves this with the help of 1500+ mini pocket springs, strategically laid out in a 7-zone layout. These pocket springs are designed to cater to each vital zone of your body, including your neck, shoulders, and hips. As a result, you’ll experience a restful and supportive night’s sleep that aligns your spine and minimizes discomfort.

One of the most sought-after features of the Ecomfort Postureline Mattress is its zero partner disturbance. Even if your partner is a restless sleeper, you won’t be disturbed by their movements. This ensures that you enjoy an undisturbed, deep slumber.

The mattress incorporates adaptive graphite foam, a remarkable combination of memory foam for a soft, embracing feel and graphite for advanced temperature regulation. This means that you can experience the cozy comfort of memory foam without the discomfort of overheating.

The mattress actively manages temperature, keeping you cool during hot nights and warm in colder ones.

The Ecomfort Postureline Mattress doesn’t just stop at comfort and support; it’s also eco-conscious. It features natural Tencel fabric, known for its breathability and super-soft texture. This sustainable material not only contributes to your overall comfort but also promotes a more environmentally friendly approach to bedding.

However, they get fully booked with orders during peak days. We suggest ordering ahead of time to avoid the long queue of customers.

Customer Reviews

“The service was great arrived a few days after ordering, great pillow!” — Margaret

“The mattress is very comfortable. Good back support and softness. Communication on expected delivery date, rather than a call on delivery day, would be better.” — Shamubeel

Our recent encounter with NZ Beds Orthopedic Mattress was a revelation in the world of sleep comfort. As a company known for their exceptional bedding solutions, they have carved a niche for themselves by prioritizing orthopedic well-being without compromising on luxury.

NZ Beds Orthopedic Mattress stands as a beacon of orthopedic excellence. The attention to spinal support and alignment is unmatched. Each night’s sleep felt like a prescription for wellness, with our bodies thanking us each morning.

It’s not just about orthopedics; NZ Beds knows how to deliver a luxurious sleeping experience. Their mattresses combine orthopedic prowess with plush comfort, allowing you to sink into relaxation without any aches or discomfort. It’s a masterful balance that ensures both support and relaxation.

The quality of their craftsmanship is another highlight. Our experience with NZ Beds Orthopedic Mattress showcased their commitment to perfection. It’s clear every stitch and coil has been meticulously placed to serve the dual purpose of support and indulgence.

While orthopedic mattresses are often associated with high costs, NZ Beds defies this norm. Their pricing is competitive and surprisingly reasonable for the level of orthopedic support and comfort they offer. It’s an investment not just in sleep but in your long-term health.

Unfortunately, they can get busy during peak days. We advise ordering ahead of time.

5. Peace Lily Mattress

Delivery options: Yes (free shipping within all areas of New Zealand)	100% Natural & Organic: Yes

Comfort	5/5
Durability	4/5
Features	5/5
Size	5/5

We recently tried out the Peace Lily Mattress, and we’re happy to note that it meets the kind of comfort we’re looking for. This mattress meets some of the most rigorous natural and non-toxic standards out there, so we’re really happy about that. 

When we purchased our Peace Lily Mattress, we went with the firm option – and it seems like we made a good decision because it was a game changer. The morning after, none of us woke up with a sore back or feeling like we were sinking into quicksand. 

And the best part? If we ever want to switch things up, all we have to do is flip the mattress over to the gentle-medium side. Easy as pie!

A post shared by Peace Lily (@peacelily)

Additionally, you can upgrade your Peace Lily Mattress with a plush mattress topper that adds a 5 cm layer of 100% natural Dunlop latex rubber foam. We went for it, and we’re so glad we did – it’s like sleeping on a cloud made of marshmallows.

We do have to mention that the Peace Lily Mattress is a bit pricey, but we see it as an investment in health and well-being. Plus, the finance options make it easier to manage and more affordable every month. 

Now, we do have one small criticism – while the Peace Lily Mattress is non-toxic, it’s not allergen-free. So, if you have severe allergies, this might not be the best option for you. 

Customer Reviews

No complaints, so comfortable

We’ve been sleeping on our new Peacelily NZ mattress for the 100 day trial, and loving it! We like a medium mattress, and on the medium side it’s perfect (you can flip for firm). We have it on a slat frame which gives a little more spring. We have no complaints at all –pleasantly surprised with how comfortable it is! – Keri Howlett

Bought our mattress in Nov 2021. Love it, couldn’t recommend it enough! It is incredibly comfortable and we no longer wake up with sore backs! – Jennifer

4. Tempur Cloud Mattress

Special features: Visco-elastic cells, extra layer of Durabase technology and QuickRefresh covers	Made in Denmark: Yes
Delivery options: Yes  Turnaround time: At least 1 week	Maintenance needed: None

Comfort	5/5
Durability	4/5
Features	4/5
Size	5/5

When it comes to luxurious comfort, we believe that the Tempur Cloud mattress is a great solution. Among Tempur’s offerings, the Cloud is the softest, making it an excellent choice for anyone who values a plush sleeping experience.

The patented material used in this mattress was initially developed by NASA, so you know it’s top-notch quality. We love how it conforms to the contours of the body, providing excellent support for the neck, shoulders, and head.

As its name suggests, the Cloud mattress provides an enveloping sensation that’s good for sinking into at the end of a long day. The visco-elastic cells are designed to flex and bend with your movements, ensuring maximum comfort.

A post shared by TEMPUR Australia & New Zealand (@tempuranz)

With sizes and depths ranging from Supreme to Elite, and the grandest offering, the Luxe (which features extra Durabase technology and QuickRefresh covers), you’re likely to find a good fit here.

We have to give you a heads up though –  this mattress is not recommended for use with electric blankets. But if that’s not an issue for you, we think you’ll love their full 10-year replacement guarantee.

Finally, we have to admit that while the delivery fee isn’t free (unlike other stores), the Tempur Cloud mattress is truly worth the wait. We received ours in about a week, and the moment we laid on it, we knew we made a good investment. 

Customer Reviews

Very comfortable, well-equipped

The TEMPUR-Cloud is well-equipped for sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds due to its medium feel and close conforming. Our testers in this weight group mostly agreed. Side sleepers noted generous padding for their shoulders and hips, which in turn helped to align their spine and reduce pressure points throughout the body. Back sleepers in the lightweight group also found the mattress very comfortable. The memory foam contours closely enough to alleviate pressure but the mattress does not sink excessively beneath the torso or waist. – Tuck

5. Serta IComfort Blue Max Plush King Mattress

When it comes to mattresses, we’re all about finding the perfect balance between comfort and support. And that’s exactly what the Serta IComfort mattresses delivered. 

With its innovative TempActiv Max Gel Memory Foam and TempActiv Touch Fabric Technology, this mattress can keep you cool and comfortable all night long. It’s as if you’re sleeping on a feather bed minus the sweat.

The Blue Max 1000 Plush model is our top pick from the Serta IComfort range. Its 4-layer cushion system provides varying degrees of firmness, so you can choose the perfect one for your sleeping style.

A post shared by Serta Mattress (@serta)

Now, one thing we love about Serta is that they make it easy to upgrade your sleep experience. You can bundle this mattress with one of their foundations for easy installation and even choose an adjustable frame for ultimate ergonomic comfort.

We do have to point out that Serta only offers one foundation and one adjustable frame option. While this may be a downside for some, we can confidently say that it’s a minor quibble when you consider how amazing the mattress feels. 

And the best part? Serta makes sure that you won’t have to break the bank to get the best sleep of your life. With up to 60 months of financing available, you can take your time paying for your perfect sleep experience. 

Customer Reviews

Best bed ever, easy to set up

I love how easy it was to set up, 15 minutes top. I have a California King (oak waterbed frame with drawers underneath). I got the low profile box with the mattress…This bed fits like a glove. I do not sleep with a pillow and sleeping flat on this bed I think I have gotten a better deeper sounder sleep…Test out the Blue Max 1000 Plush Set and see for yourself. Best bed ever! Happy sleeping! 🙂 – unknown

We’ve been on the hunt for the best memory foam mattress in New Zealand, and we think we’ve found a gem with the Winkl mattress. Their Winkl-Flex Comfort Foam is exclusive to their brand, and we can attest to its great balance of softness, bounce, and pressure relief.

When we say they’re the best for the job, we mean that sleeping on this mattress is like sleeping on a cloud. To enhance the experience, there’s the added benefit of customized support for your back, hips, and shoulders.

It also boasts high-density gel memory foam that will keep you cool all night.While using it, we find that it conforms to the body shape, providing that much-needed support.

Coupled with the durable base foam, we can safely say that you won’t lose a wink of sleep.

A post shared by Winkl (@winklsleep)

By the way, their materials meet international safety standards, so we know you won’t be exposed to harmful chemicals as you snooze.

While they don’t have any showrooms, we appreciate that the Winkl mattress comes with a generous 120-night trial and free shipping and returns. For unsatisfied customers, they’ll refund the money, pick up the mattress, and donate it to charity!

On the downside, we wish Winkl mattresses had bundled packages that included bed frames or pillows. However, their affordable price point and finance options make it easier to purchase without breaking the bank.

Customer Reviews

Coziest mattress

Both hubby and I are sleeping so solidly now we aren’t rolling in together. I love how you can move around without disturbing one another. It’s the cosiest mattress I’ve ever slept on. – Fran

Happy with the purchase

We’re thrilled to say that, after some deliberation, we believe that the Oakano Revive Elite Mattress is a game-changer when it comes to memory foam mattresses.

Its unique and patented Air Feel gel memory foam not only relieves pressure points but also regulates temperature. That’s why we see it as a good choice for those hot summer nights in the country.

The use of tiny pores to dissipate heat effectively is what sets this mattress apart from the rest. With three layers that include Gel memory foam and High polyurethane foam, we’re pretty happy with the support and firmness it provides.

A post shared by OAKANOFURNITURE (@oakanofurniture)

At first, we were a bit hesitant since the mattress was not made in New Zealand. However, after discovering that it’s both CertiPUR-US and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, we felt much more at ease, as this means it meets top-notch international health standards.

On top of that, we were delighted to find five sizes available for the Revive Elite Mattress. There are also financing options that make it possible for us to enjoy the ultimate comfort now and pay later.

After experiencing the product for ourselves and scouring through its reviews online, we can say that the Oakano Revive Elite Mattress is a solid buy. Even the shopping experience deserves its own share of praise. 

Customer Reviews

Worth it, super happy with my purchase

“Very happy with my new mattress, it takes some getting used to as it’s not like other mattresses but it’s 100% worth it! Best mattress I’ve owned.”

“*Perfect* is a word for this mattress, comfortable, steady, and most important reasonable. I am super happy with the mattress I purchased from Oakano”

8. Spine Supporter Techno 10 X

Special features: Techno 10X Spring Technology, Ortho Cool Gel Memory Foam, Silk Enriched Luxurious Fabric, NZ Pine Base	Comfort guarantee: Yes (60 nights)
Delivery options: Yes	Made in New Zealand: Yes

Comfort	4/5
Durability	4/5
Features	5/5
Size	4/5

At first glance, the Spine Supporter Techno 10 X mattress looks like just another bed. However, we’re pleased to see that it’s anything but ordinary. 

This is one of the most premium mattresses on the market in NZ and has features that we always rave about and prefer over their standard counterparts.

One of the standout features is its Ortho-cool Gel Memory Foam, which supports the back and limbs while regulating the body temperature. The Healthguard silk fabric also hits our sweet spot as we’re a bit conscious of our skin health. 

But what really won us over was the seven different levels of firmness it has, meaning you can get the exact amount of support you need for a comfortable night’s sleep. Plus, with seven-zoned pocket coils, it adapts to the shape of your body.

We were also impressed with the Techno 10 X’s attention to detail. The natural latex pillow top is a thoughtful addition that takes the comfort level up a notch.

Plus, the Slumberzone Durafoam ensures that necks, hips, and limbs receive the same plush support as the backs. It’s the kind of craftsmanship that sets the Techno 10 X apart from other mattresses we’ve tried.

However, we have to admit that the Spine Supporter Techno 10 X is on the expensive side, and it’s not easy to order directly from the manufacturer. But with all the incredible features it offers, we believe it’s worth the investment.

Customer Reviews

Feels less sore in the mornings

Very pleased with the bed thank you. My back feels less sore in the mornings so it is a relief to know that my previous bed was the issue. I am enjoying the softer, sink-right-in feeling. – Karen Kyne

This is by far the best sleep I’ve had in 15 years. I wake up in the exact position I fell asleep in and wake up feeling rejuvenated and incredible in the mornings. Best money I have ever spent on myself. – Shirley Black

The Unik X from Innature exceeded our expectations in providing relief for back pain. We appreciated that the mattress was made from natural, sustainable materials and that the company clearly prioritized quality in its construction.

What makes the Unik X special for us is its multi-layer design, allowing buyers to customize the firmness level that suits their preference, whether they like it soft, medium, or firm. 

We were also pleased to know that you can switch out some of the layers later if your preferences changed. That’s why it’s a sustainable option because you don’t have to throw anything away just for a change.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by INNATURE (@innature_nz)

Unfortunately, we did notice that this can make the mattress more sensitive to motion. So, if you’re someone who tosses and turns a lot in their sleep, it may not be the best fit for you. 

Now, the quilted cover of the mattress is made of organic cotton, hemp fabric, and 500 gsm organic NZ carded wool. To put it simply, it makes the cover breathable and provides optimal air circulation. 

On the downside, we found that it can’t be machine-washed which can be inconvenient if you’re looking for something that is low-maintenance. 

Despite these minor drawbacks (which are surely something to consider before making your purchase), we still believe that the Unik X is a high-quality mattress that’s worth checking out. 

Customer Reviews

Enjoyable benefits

Thank you SO MUCH for creating such super products! We’re absolutely loving our new super-king duvet and bedding set; and have really noticed the difference in our sleep quality since we fitted them. We have been avid fans of your whole range of beds and bedding for many years now, ever since we discovered you around 2008. And of course, we’ve been enjoying their benefits and recommending them to  our friends and family ever since. – Fi Jamieson-Folland

Our search for the perfect mattress led us to Ecosa, and we’re glad it did. The G-7 Memory Foam Mattress from this store is not just comfortable, it is also hypoallergenic – a good choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies.

The mattress’ gel-infused layer adjusts to the body’s movements, providing a comfortable and disturbance-free sleep. But what truly impressed us is its use of ergonomic support foam and ECO-Tex memory foam, ensuring that the spine is aligned properly while you sleep. 

Additionally, the open-cell foam layer adds a springy quality to the mattress, making it even more comfortable. And its premium, washable Tencel cover not only makes it breathable and durable but also protects it from bacteria and dust mites.

A post shared by Ecosa NZ (@ecosa_nz)

We also appreciate that Ecosa offers a variety of bed sizes, including king-sized mattresses. And if you live in Auckland, their four-hour delivery promise is a godsend. 

Plus, with their 15-year warranty, quality assurance comes free with each purchase. 

Unfortunately, we were bummed to know that delivery outside of Auckland can take up to 8 business days. 

To add to that, it’s important to keep in mind that they only accept returns on the first order for multiple orders in one household. Just be sure to make your choice wisely is what we’re saying!

Lastly, Ecosa offers a 100-day trial which is typically the standard period for mattresses. We had a great experience with the G-7 Memory Foam Mattress, and we think it won’t hurt if you sign up for their trial.

Customer Reviews

Comfort	5/5

Features	4/5
Size	4/5

We were skeptical at first when we saw the price tag of the Enchanteur Plush Memory Foam mattress, but after trying it out, we fell in love with its quality. As a solid orthopedic memory foam mattress, this luxurious product justifies its high cost.

Made from high-quality latex foam and OrthoCool Gel Memory Foam, the Enchanteur Plush provides effective heat dissipation while still offering the necessary support. You’ll stay cool and comfortable all night, whether you’re sound asleep or just resting your eyes.

We absolutely loved this mattress for many reasons, but one of our favorites is how it helps us sleep better. The 5-Zone Posture Pro Pocket Springs are amazing at controlling motion, so we don’t get woken up by our partner’s movements during the night. 

Though this mattress comes in several sizes, we were disappointed that it only comes in medium-soft firmness. However, we still found it to be comfortable and supportive, providing us with a great night’s sleep.

The only downside we found is that there’s no option to order directly from the manufacturer. It would be more convenient if we could place an order straight from them rather than going through a third-party retailer.

Nonetheless, we still highly recommend giving the Enchanteur Plush a try if you’re in the market for a high-quality, luxurious memory foam mattress.

Not only does it provide robust comfort and support, but it also features extra-thick layers of convoluted foam for added snugness. And with single, high-strength pocket springs that adapt to your body, you won’t even feel a single spring while sleeping.

While it would have been great to have more size options, we were impressed by how easy it is to clean. Simply spot-clean any blemishes with a clean cloth and you’re good to go!

We do a lot of cleaning of reviews so we’re no strangers to mattress cleaning. It’s a tough case to tackle so this is definitely a big plus for us. 

With an affordable price point and a five-year warranty, it’s no wonder why so many people recommend this mattress. Even the quality doesn’t feel cheap and that’s coming from us who have tried so many premium products in the past.

However, we do have to note that it’s only available in one size, and the warranty period is a bit short. But with its comfort and affordability, it’s still worth considering, as long as the size they offer fits in your room.

So, if you want to sleep like royalty without the royal price tag, Living & Co.’s affordable luxury queen mattress is a pretty neat starter.

Customer Reviews

Nicely designed, good quality

My partner and I bought this just the other day. Compared to other matresses, you can’t feel the spirngs on the side, nicely designed and reinforced. Nice firm matress with a soft-firm foam topper thing on top. Both of us sat in the mattress and it does not wobble if one moves, great for sleeping when someone turns around a lot. Good quality, would recommend ! – unknown

13. Fullair Hybrid Mattress

Special features: 3D thermoplastic top layer	Comfort guarantee: 100-night trial Washable: Yes
Delivery options: Yes (free)	Certifications: ROHS Compliant

The Fullair Hybrid Mattress is definitely a pick when it comes to environmentally friendly comfort. We love that its materials are completely non-toxic, recyclable, and even comply with European food contact standards.

One thing to note, though, is that this mattress may not be suitable for those who prefer thicker mattresses. While its 3D thermoplastic top layer provides ample support and softness, some people may still prefer a thicker mattress with a more substantial feel.

That being said, we have to give it to Fullair for designing a mattress that feels just right without being too heavy or cumbersome. Its unique construction allows for plenty of airflow, ensuring that it stays cool all throughout the night.

We have definitely noticed that we sleep more soundly and comfortably on this mattress. Our team members even noted waking up and feeling refreshed without body pains. 

Another thing we loved about this mattress is that it’s completely allergen-free, from the top cover down to the bottom layer. The breathable, hypoallergenic materials used in the top cover and the memory foam layer make it a great choice for anyone with allergies or sensitivities.

And if you’re worried about keeping your mattress clean, Fullair has got you covered too. The Fullair Hybrid Mattress is one of the easiest mattresses we’ve tried to clean, as it’s completely machine-washable inside and out.

The Intex Dura-Beam Deluxe Pillow Rest Raised Airbed Twin is an affordable solution to achieving a comfortable sleeping experience. Despite its low price, we were pleasantly surprised by its ability to deliver the level of comfort and support we expect.

Thanks to its Fiber-Tech construction, this airbed is extremely stable and supportive, making it great for both indoor and outdoor use. Plus, the built-in AC electric pump means that inflating and deflating the mattress is a breeze!

While this product may not be the most durable air mattress out there, it’s definitely one of the most affordable options we’ve come across. And at 42 cm from the floor, it feels just like a traditional mattress, minus the price tag.

Now, the Dura-Beam Deluxe doesn’t just offer comfort and affordability – it’s also highly portable. Its compact size and lightweight design make it easy to pack up and take on the go, making it a great option for those who love to camp or take road trips.

And if you’re looking for an air mattress that won’t clash with your home decor, the sleek and modern design of the Dura-Beam Deluxe makes it fit seamlessly into any room. 

One hiccup is the short warranty period, so we recommend taking good care of the mattress. We also noticed that there can be some issues with inflating the mattress at times, so be sure to test it out before using it for the long term.

Customer Reviews

Easy to pump up and pack away

Pump it up as hard as it will go to maintain good overnight firmness. We bought this for family to sleep on over the Christmas break, and once we realised it needed more air, after the first nights use, the feedback was great. Easy to pump up, easy to deflate and pack away. A great purchase. – Carol

Comfy with its built in head rest

Bought this bed for when extra guests stay over, super easy to inflate and deflate. Comes with handy storage bed. There is a built in head rest which is quite comfy. Because it’s so easy to put up, I’ve been using it in the lounge as a place to lie in the sun during my work breaks. – Kate

15. Active Mattress

After testing The Flatpack’s Active Mattress, we were genuinely impressed by how cozy and comfortable it felt. What sets this mattress apart is its balanced support –  not too soft nor too firm, just right for a sound sleep.

The mattress is made up of two layers of foam, which provide ample support for the backs while still maintaining its plush feel. The 5-zoned pocket springs at the bottom layer also help distribute weight evenly, making it good for those who move around in their sleep.

The luxury knitted fabric cover is a nice touch, providing better softness than the typical cotton covers. On top of that, it’s hypoallergenic, which is great news for those with sensitive skin or allergies.

Now, this mattress sure is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a comfortable and supportive mattress without spending a fortune. What makes it even more attractive is its affordable price point, especially when compared to other high-end mattresses on the market.

Plus, you won’t have to worry about buyer’s remorse with the Active Mattress. The 100-day trial allows you to sleep on the mattress for a few months before deciding whether it’s the right fit for you. 

Although we appreciated the mattress’s balanced support, it’s important to keep in mind that the medium firmness might not be to everyone’s taste. So, if you’re someone who likes their mattress on the fluffier or harder side, you may want to keep looking.

Customer Reviews

16. Dunlop Living Orthozone Mattress

Special features: Ultra-fresh treated foam, upholstered slat base, Magicoil spring system	Weight capacity: 140kg
Delivery options: Yes (15-20 day business lead time)	Best for: People with back issues

Comfort	3/5

If you’re looking for a mattress that will give your spine total comfort, we recommend the Dunlop Living Orthozone Mattress. Our team has put this mattress to the test, and we can confidently say that it’s one of the most comfortable mattresses for the spine on the market.

What makes this mattress so special? Well, for starters, it features Dunlop’s patented Magicoil system, which provides excellent support for sleepers. 

With three zones of support, this mattress can help you get a comfortable sleep.

But that’s not all – the Orthozone bed set also comes with an upholstered slat base, which for us, provides breathable support for the mattress. 

And, while it may take 15 to 20 days for delivery, that’s because each mattress is made-to-order right here in New Zealand. We find it worth the wait though, for a freshly put-together mattress that comes with a 5-year warranty.

One downside to note is that this mattress has a lower weight capacity compared to others in its class. But if you’re looking for a mattress that will prioritize your spine’s health, we think it’s a small trade-off to make.

All in all, the Dunlop Living Orthozone Mattress is a top-notch choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive sleeping experience, especially those who struggle with back pain. Sure, there were flaws, but it’s worth it for a restful and rejuvenating night’s sleep.

17. Sealy Bodyform Pillowtop

Special features: High-grade Bonnell springs	Assembly type: No assembly required
Delivery options: Yes  Mattress feel: Medium	Made in: New Zealand

Comfort	4/5

The Sealy Bodyform Pillowtop was a delightful discovery for us. It matched our preference for a firm yet comfortable sleeping surface – it cradled us in its plush and soft cushion without applying too much pressure.

As an innerspring model, it uses high-quality Bonnell springs and compact foam to provide excellent support for our backs and eliminate discomfort in the arms, hips, and shoulders, regardless of the sleeping position.

A drawback we noticed is its thinness, which could be a dealbreaker for some. Fortunately, we found that it still provides enough cushioning and support, thanks to the top layer of soft and plush pillowtop.

While the Sealy Bodyform Pillowtop’s depth and thickness could be improved, we appreciated its minimalist design that fits in any tight space. It’s perfect for those looking for a single mattress for small rooms.

However, we must admit that the long waiting time for the product to arrive was a bit of a disappointment. As it is only available through special order, we had to exercise patience before we can finally enjoy the comfort it offers.

Lastly, it’s not just the comfort and quality that sold us on the Sealy Bodyform Pillowtop, but also the 5-year warranty that comes with it. This gives assurance that you can enjoy your mattress for years to come without worrying about premature wear and tear.
