Foam Mattresses

Shop Affordable Foam Mattresses

A cheap foam mattress removes the spring layer entirely, using dense foam construction to provide both support and comfort in a single material. Without a coil system, foam mattresses tend to be quieter, lighter, and easier to manoeuvre than spring-based builds, making them a practical choice for guest rooms, bunk beds, and compact setups. Browse the complete mattresses range to compare across all construction types, or go straight to memory foam mattresses for a dedicated selection within this range. All foam mattresses at Factory Buys include free shipping across Australia.

Construction Types in This Range

Foam mattresses at Factory Buys cover three main construction types, each with a different feel and performance profile. Memory foam conforms closely to the body in response to heat and pressure, distributing weight evenly and relieving pressure at the shoulders and hips. It suits side sleepers and those who prefer a closer, more cradling surface.

Cool gel foam mattresses incorporate a gel layer designed to draw heat away from the sleep surface, addressing the main limitation of standard memory foam for those who sleep warm. Green tea memory foam is another variant in this range, combining memory foam with an infused layer for a different feel and odour-resistant properties. Check each product listing for the specific construction details and comfort notes before deciding.

Thickness is worth narrowing down early, as it affects both comfort and compatibility with your existing base or frame. Thinner profiles suit platform bases, bunk beds, and setups where a lower overall height is preferred. Mid-range and thicker profiles suit standard bed frames and those who prefer a more substantial feel underfoot. Use the thickness filters on the collection page to compare options within a specific band.

Comparing Foam Against Other Builds

Pure foam construction differs from a hybrid mattress in that there is no spring core providing foundational support, which means the foam itself carries all the load. This makes the choice of foam density and thickness more important than it is in a spring-based build. For those who want the contouring properties of foam with more natural breathability and a bouncier response, a latex foam mattress is worth considering alongside this range.

If you want the convenience of foam construction in a compact, rollable format, a mattress in a box may also be worth browsing as a related option.

Sizes and Setup

Cheap foam mattresses at Factory Buys are available across all standard Australian sizes. The queen mattress is the most popular choice for master bedrooms, while a king mattress suits those who want the widest standard surface. Always confirm the exact dimensions and listed thickness on the product page before ordering. Protect the surface from day one with a mattress protector, and consider a mattress topper if you want to adjust the feel after purchase.

Which foam mattress construction suits your sleep style best: memory foam, cool gel, or green tea memory foam?

Each construction type feels and performs differently. Memory foam conforms closely to the body and suits those who prefer pressure relief and a closer feel. Cool gel constructions incorporate a gel layer designed to help regulate surface temperature during sleep, which can suit warmer sleepers. Green tea memory foam combines memory foam with an infused layer for a different feel again. Check each product listing for the specific construction details and comfort notes before deciding.

What size foam mattress do you need, and how do you confirm the right fit?

Start with your bed size and confirm the mattress dimensions match your existing bed frame or base. Factory Buys foam mattresses are available in Australian standard sizes, so a Queen mattress is sized to suit a standard Australian Queen bed frame. All mattresses include free delivery, so it is worth taking the time to confirm the right size before ordering. Always check the exact dimensions on the product listing, particularly if you are pairing a new mattress with an existing frame or base.

Which thickness and firmness level should you choose for your setup?

Thickness affects both comfort and compatibility with your bed base or frame. Thinner profiles suit platform bases, bunk beds, and setups where a lower overall height is preferred, while thicker options suit those who prefer a more substantial feel. Firmness depends on your preferred sleep position and body weight, so review the listed firmness level on each product before adding to cart. Filters on the collection page let you browse by both thickness and firmness to narrow the range.

Are foam mattresses compatible with all bed bases and frames?

A foam mattress works best when paired with the right base. A compatible bed base provides even support across the foam surface, which can affect how the mattress performs and wears over time. Check the product listing for any base compatibility notes, and confirm the dimensions of your existing frame match the mattress size before purchasing.
