Need to decide asap on whether or not to pull the trigger as I have a limited window to add something to a basic-essentials loan.
I've been sleeping on the floor for a while now which was an improvement over the cheap mattress that came with a furnished place, as I'd wake up with compounded back issues if not a completely thrown-out back. So I'm looking for firmer/supportive instead of soft and pillowy.

Currently I'm looking at the Newentor Hybrid mattress, Onebed Original, Noa, and ZZZ Atelier Black Label, though I've seen a few iffy reviews on the zzz.

Not a ton of wiggle room right now, and not that desperate to make the switch, but it would be nice.
Hassle-free returns are a very big plus. Cheers

    So you've ruled out Emma, Ecosa, Sleeping Duck, Koala, Origin, Noa, Macoda, Naptime, Et al?

      I've ruled out Koala and Ecosa, Emma was acknowledged but not very often or positively mentioned enough for me to dwell on it, and Sleeping Duck is well over the budget. I haven't heard the others mentioned, and I've done a lot of trawling

      With more digging I've included the Noa in my finalists for right now though

        At the risk of offering unwelcome financial advice, you could get something like this for $300

          For the purpose of adding something onto my NILS loan it has to be new & warrantied, though I did check with the Salvos to see if there were any banger deals after learning most of these bed-box stores donate to there specifically and are only accepted as like-new. Alas

            @zwolf: It's the kind of purchase you should be able to cash flow, perhaps not add to a personal loan.

    I've had mattresses that cost thousands, I've tried those "in a box" mattresses that people have recommended.

    I ended up randomly trying this mattress:

    And have not looked back. I'm quite tall and have had back problems in the past. Since using this I never wake up sore. I also got this for my son who was also waking up sore on his previous mattresses, since buying this for him, hasn't complained once.

      Thanks for the suggestion and insight, I'll give it a closer look
      edit: the price is on the money, but another $140 for delivery and an iffy returns policy rules it out for me unfortunately

    Ikea is okay if you like a soft mattress. They also sell fitted sheets that fit.

  • timthetoolman on 21/08/2023 - 12:21

    Is going in to a forty winks etc and finding a better quality mattress on discount not an option? Surely better than the in the box mattresses?

      It's the no-cost, no-questions-asked pickup & refunds that stands out for me. I'm starting to think to hell with it and sticking to the floor however -_-

    Anything that comes rolled up will have bugger all support, particularly at the edges. A traditional Australian made Bonnell coil will be firmer and last longer than fully imported stuff.
