though latex mattresses are best, i'd never heard of Quokka until my previous deal - adjustable layers are useful, but imo, don't choose 3 layers over 2 just to have more, as thicker isn't necessarily better, and unfortunately their densities aren't specified (unlike with Peace Lily - anyone experienced theirs?) - update: Densities - Our Medium layers are D70, Firm layers D85

there's a 100-night Guarantee - during which time a layer can be replaced for free, or an extra one sent to upgrade from 2 to 3 by paying the difference - but sadly their advertising of Free Returns seems false and misleading, given that customers actually have to pay return postage themselves i.e. at their own expense - update: 100% free returns during our current sale (ends today)

$100 delivery surcharge to some regional and remote areas.

anyone know the difference between their Standard and Premium Wool covers? former is old stock

    I bought the hybrid latex, highly recommend!

  • zonra on 30/06/2024 - 11:40

    unlike with Peace Lily - anyone experienced theirs?

    I bought one (full latex) recently and am really happy with it. For reference we have been using a 20cm D85 slab with a 5cm D65 topper (from local bed shop) and are fairly happy with the support. But definitely prefer the plush feeling of the Peace Lily.
    The Peace Lily one doesn’t have a zip cover though so you can’t really verify the layers or customise/repair them so there’s that.
    I’m pretty sure Quokka discloses their latex densities and source somewhere on the website as well.

    Daniel here from Quokka Beds - I think I can help out :)

    Choosing 2 or 3 layers - Yes, 2 layers (16cm) is plenty of latex and definitely fine for a lot of sleepers! With less height, it is inherently firmer, so it is particularly good for back/stomach sleepers - whereas 3 layers is better suited for side sleepers, or if you like it a little softer / contouring. Around 2/3rds go for 3 layers. We also spent quite some time creating the mattress firmness quiz (6 simple questions), to give accurate and helpful suggestions.

    Densities - Our Medium layers are D70, Firm layers D85, and Soft topper D55-60 (with a plusher cover).

    100-Night Trial - Historically, we have charged a return delivery cost, capped at $200-250 due to the high delivery, product and return costs. However, we are confident to currently be testing 100% free returns during our current sale (ends today) to help more customers give our mattress a go with full peace of mind. Check the notice on the guarantees page for more info, and check our ProductReviews for opinions on our after-sale service quality :)

    Standard cover - These are old stock only currently available for Queen 16cm and King 24cm. If you select one of these options on the Latex Mattress page, there is a link that opens a popup with more information and pictures.

      This is great. Can you also explain just as im interested the pros and cons of upgrading to the hybrid latex? Also then the additional topper for 550?

      Thank you

      • Associatedquokkabeds @ Quokka Beds on 30/06/2024 - 15:15

        Glad I could help. Sure, we currently have 1 sample on display in our Perth showroom, and many have tested it, given their feedback and pre-ordered already (from WA and interstate). Both mattresses are extremely supportive, durable, comfortable, adjustable, healthy and with low partner disturbance - choosing one over the other comes down to a few key factors, depending how important they are to you.

        Hybrid pros:

        "Stability" - Hard to explain, but the large spring base gives more of a 'traditional' mattress feel, reducing some of the 100% latex 'rubbery / bouncy' feel. The springs feels like you don't 'bounce around' as much - although obviously some prefer one feel from the other. The cover is also thicker for extra surface comfort, and overall stability of the layers inside.

        Support - Similarly, the firm perimeter of springs gives stability on the edges, and definitely increases the sleep-to-the-edge comfort and support. The extra height (33cm in total) can be said to give overall more support for some sleepers, as there is more opportunity for the mattress to contour and support you where needed. It is also less affected by the type of bed base it is on - due to the bottom spring layer acting as a firm and stable base to the latex (rather than differing levels of support provided by different bases).

        Sleeps cool - Springs are full of air, which is the best defence against sleeping hot. Latex is also very cool (due to it's open-cell structure as well as large pinholes throughout - much cooler than polyfoams, especially memory foam), so the result is basically the coolest mattress you can get. More breathability = less moisture retention = likely a healthier sleep too.

        Hybrid cons:

        Springs - Some customers only want pure 100% latex, and are perhaps worried about including steel in their bedroom.

        Height - Some customers want a lower mattress, especially with kids entering the bed.

        Price - The price is higher. But I like to say the price can be seen as more of an important investment into something you spend 1/3rd of your life on - and for something that lasts 20+ years - the cost per month works out to under $12.

        Topper:

        If you've tried our mattress firmness quiz, the topper would be suggested if you like it a little softer - and is especially suited to side sleepers or those with shoulder pain/discomfort. Beyond this, most customers know themselves if they would like sleeping on a "plush, pillow-top, contouring initial surface feel" - over something that provides more resistance to your body and pressure points. It makes perhaps a 10-20% difference in softness, so not massive, but a great addition if you're worried about the mattress feeling a little too firm.

          Hey Rep, missed this sale, do you know when will the next sale be? Thanks.

      many thanks for the clarification - i had found that section of the guarantees page somewhat confusing/contradictory given that both are stated :(

      much appreciate the detailed response - look forward to receiving my order (though delayed dispatch requested) :)

  • supergolf10 on 30/06/2024 - 14:29

    Just do a spring extra firm matttess cheap from ikea or something, then add a latex topper. I would not get a full latex mattress, if and when it sags you have a super heavy, expensive slab that is hard to store because it’s basically jelly

    • Associatedquokkabeds @ Quokka Beds on 30/06/2024 - 15:23

      Definitely not a bad idea for a supportive yet comfortable sleep on the surface. Firmer polyfoam/spring mattresses typically last longer too, as the foams are denser and any sag will not be as easily noticed.

      However, 100% latex is actually extremely durable and will not sag (easily the most durable foam), and we have a 20 year warranty on that too (we've been selling latex as well as all different types of mattresses for 36 years now). Our layers are also removable from the cover, which can be folded in half, rolled up and moved by just 1 person with relative ease. We offer instructions for how to best do this too, storing each layer nicely in a 240L bin bag. But yes - moving a 100% latex mattress with no zips is next to impossible!

    • mduncan2 on 30/06/2024 - 22:06

      I've had my king-sized latex with memory foam top mattress for 15+ years, and it hasn't sagged. I've replaced the bowed ikea slats that holds it up 3 times though. When the slats go, then the bed definitely feels 'saggy'.
      The only thing that shows the age on my mattress is the zip-up fabric mattrees protector thingy that goes all around it is so thin on top it is now getting little rips in it.

  • zuuutoootuuu on 30/06/2024 - 18:27

    anyone know how these compare to a Zenna latex mattress?

    • Associatedquokkabeds @ Quokka Beds on 30/06/2024 - 21:03

      Zenna is a full block of 20cm certified natural 7-zone latex in D75 (a good middle ground density of approx Medium-Firm), with a bamboo and cotton cover. Once uncompressed, it may be difficult to move as it is all 1 piece.

      Quokka uses certified natural & certified organic 7.5cm layers of 7-zone latex in Medium D70 and Firm D85 (i.e. total latex height of 15cm or 22.5cm + the cover), without glues, that can be rearranged at home to get the firmness right (important) and hold nice and firm in the cover. The cover is organic cotton & wool, which is a natural fire retardant too (although not a regulation in Australia, it is in the UK/US).

      Current prices are very similar in terms of cost per height of latex. Hope that's a fair start!

      • tonester on 30/06/2024 - 21:19

        we've had a Zenna for almost 7yrs and never thought about flipping it, but i noticed that they state:

        How do I change the firmness level of the mattress?
        Flip for a firmer or softer feel.

        given that it's a single block, might this be because the zones/densities aren't evenly distributed/symmetrical on both sides (top/bottom)?

        • Associatedquokkabeds @ Quokka Beds on 01/07/2024 - 10:29

          Yes, especially with large 20cm high blocks of latex, the latex settles a little extra at the bottom of the moulds - which makes the bottom of the layers slightly firmer than the top. In any event, latex is very "resilient" - which means the more pressure is applied, the more it wants to return to its original shape (i.e. inherent extra support/firmness for heavier body parts).
