What’s really going on inside a Sleep Republic mattress

Sleep Republic and Sleep Firm both use foam, and both use springs. But only Sleep Republic has been awarded Bedbuyer’s Best Overall Mattress in a Box for 3 consecutive years. What makes Sleep Republic stand out from the competition? Check out the layers inside the Sleep Republic mattress, and see how they compare to Sleep Firm.

Natural cashmere

The Sleep Firm case is made from a synthetic material developed in a lab. Sleep Republic, on the other hand, uses natural cashmere.

Edge support

With high tensile springs around the edges of our mattress, you’re less likely to roll onto the floor overnight.

Comfortable memory foam

A generous layer of NASA-developed memory foam adds comfort and cushioning to the Sleep Republic mattress whereas Sleep Firm’s mattress lacks extra cushioning in favour of providing a firmer feel.

Latex that breathes

In the hot Australian summers, airflow can be a real issue. The natural latex layer in our Sleep Republic mattress helps to stop uncomfortable sweating.

Springs in HD

Sleep Firm has relatively high-density springs, with 1092 on a queen size. Sleep Republic goes several hundred better with 1850 springs.

Airflow enhancing 3D fabric

The panels of both the Sleep Firm mattress and the Sleep Republic mattress are 3D. This is designed to improve airflow.

Hybrid technology

The Sleep Firm mattress has especially firm springs, which can accommodate back sleepers or those who like a firm bed. At Sleep Republic, the hybrid combination of springs and foam has been designed so that people who enjoy a range of sleep positions can sleep comfortably.

12-year warranty

At Sleep Republic, we offer a 12-year warranty on our mattress, so you can rest assured that it’ll get the job done for years to come.

A full refund if you’re dissatisfied

If you don’t love our mattress, you can either swap it for another or return it within 100 days for a full refund.

The natural softness of cashmere

The knitted, natural cashmere that tops our Sleep Republic mattress is durable, removable, cleanable, and incredibly soft.
