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

What size is a queen mattress in Australia?

A standard Australian queen mattress measures approximately 153cm wide by 203cm long. It is wider than a double but smaller than a king, making it a popular size for couples, main bedrooms and solo sleepers who prefer extra space.

What type of queen mattress is best?

The best queen mattress depends on the feel and support you prefer. Options include pocket spring, foam and hybrid mattresses, with different comfort layers and firmness levels available. Consider your sleeping position, preferred mattress feel and whether you'll be sharing the bed when comparing options.

What firmness is best for a queen mattress?

There isn't one firmness that suits everyone. Your sleeping position, body weight and personal preference can all affect what feels comfortable. Side sleepers may prefer more cushioning around the shoulders and hips, while back and stomach sleepers may look for a firmer, more stable feel.

What is the best queen mattress for couples?

Couples may want to consider each person's firmness preference as well as how much movement can be felt across the mattress. Pocket spring mattresses use individually wrapped springs that move more independently, which can help reduce motion transfer when one person changes position during the night.

How often should you replace a queen mattress?

There isn’t a set timeline on how often you should replace your mattress, with its lifespan depending on things like its construction, quality, use and care. Signs it may be time for a replacement include noticeable sagging, damaged or worn materials, or a mattress that no longer feels comfortable or supportive.
