Choosing the right type of queen mattress

Mattress construction is a good place to start because it can make a noticeable difference to how the bed feels. Innerspring mattresses use a spring system for support and generally have a more responsive feel. Memory foam mattresses contour more closely around the body, while hybrid mattresses combine springs with foam or other comfort layers. Firmness, comfort layers and other features are also worth comparing before choosing your mattress.

What queen mattress firmness should you choose?

Mattress firmness usually ranges from plush or soft through to medium and firm, but there's no single option that works for everyone. Your usual sleeping position can help narrow things down. Side sleepers may prefer more cushioning around the shoulders and hips, while back and stomach sleepers may look for a more stable feel. Your body weight and personal preference also influence how firm or soft the same mattress feels.

Finding a queen mattress for couples

A queen mattress gives couples more sleeping space than a double without taking up as much room as a king mattress, which makes it a popular choice for shared bedrooms. When two people share a mattress, consider both firmness preferences rather than choosing for one sleeper alone. Movement can matter too, particularly if one person changes position frequently or gets in and out of bed at a different time.

Explore queen mattresses that suit your budget

Queen mattresses come at a wide range of price points, and spending more doesn't automatically mean you'll prefer the way a mattress feels. Cheap queen mattresses can be a practical choice for guest rooms, first homes and straightforward mattress replacements. Decide which features matter to you first, then compare mattresses within your budget. That makes it easier to avoid paying extra for features that aren't particularly important to the way you sleep.

Replacing your old queen mattress

If you're keeping your existing bed frame, give it a quick check before putting a new mattress on top. Slats should be secure and even, without obvious cracks, bowing or sagging. It's also worth checking the support requirements for your new mattress, as different constructions can have their own base or slat-spacing recommendations.

If the frame needs replacing too, browse our queen bed frames. You can also choose a queen bedroom package if you'd prefer to replace the frame and mattress together.

Looking after your queen mattress

Once your new mattress is set up, follow the care instructions provided for that particular model. Adding a mattress protector from the start can help protect the surface from spills, marks and everyday wear. Keeping the mattress properly supported and following its cleaning instructions will also help you look after it over time.

Queen Mattress FAQ

How do I choose the right queen mattress firmness for my sleep style?

Match firmness to how you usually sleep and what feels supportive. Side sleepers often prefer more cushioning for hips and shoulders, while back or stomach sleepers usually suit a steadier, firmer feel. Use the firmness notes on each product listing and compare the comfort layers so you know whether it will feel more contouring or more responsive.

What measurements should I check so a queen mattress fits properly?

Factory Buys mattresses use Australian sizes, but always check the exact mattress dimensions on the product listing and compare them to your bed frame or base. If the frame has tight edges, measure the internal space. Also measure doorways, hallways, stair turns, and lifts for access. 

Which matters more: thickness, pocket spring, or foam comfort layers?

Start with the support core, then comfort. Pocket springs can feel more responsive and help reduce partner disturbance, while foam comfort layers influence pressure relief and overall feel. Thickness affects bed height and can change cushioning, but it is not a quality guarantee. Compare support type and comfort layers first, then choose thickness to suit your setup.

Is this queen mattress boxed, and how long should it expand?

Some queen mattresses arrive boxed, while others come in standard packaging, so check the listing before you buy. If it arrives compressed, move it into the room first, place it on the base, then carefully unbox it. Follow the setup notes and allow the recommended time to fully expand before judging comfort.

What delivery, warranty and returns apply if my mattress arrives damaged?
