We're a team of sleep enthusiasts on a mission to help every Australian find their perfect night's rest.
Single Mattress Australia was founded in 2020 by a group of sleep-deprived Australians who were frustrated with the overwhelming and often confusing mattress market. After spending countless hours researching sleep science, testing mattresses, and navigating the maze of marketing claims, we realised there had to be a better way to help people make informed decisions about one of life's most important purchases.
What started as a personal quest for better sleep quickly evolved into a comprehensive resource dedicated to helping Australians—particularly those shopping for single mattresses—find the perfect sleeping solution. We recognised that the single mattress market, while seemingly straightforward, presented unique challenges. Whether you're a parent searching for a safe, supportive mattress for your growing child, a university student furnishing your first flat, or simply someone looking to maximise space without sacrificing comfort, we understood that your needs deserved specialised attention.
Our team brings together expertise in sleep science, materials engineering, consumer advocacy, and digital content creation. We've conducted hands-on testing of over 50 mattresses, consulted with sleep specialists, physiotherapists, and orthopaedic experts, and analysed thousands of customer reviews to develop our comprehensive understanding of what makes a great single mattress.
We believe that quality sleep shouldn't be a luxury. That's why we're committed to providing honest, unbiased information that helps Australians at every budget level find a mattress that meets their needs. We don't accept payment for positive reviews, and when we recommend products, we're transparent about our affiliate relationships—because we believe trust is the foundation of good advice.
At Single Mattress Australia, our mission is simple: to demystify the mattress buying process and empower Australians to make confident, informed decisions about their sleep. We achieve this through rigorous product testing, evidence-based educational content, and interactive tools that match individuals with mattresses suited to their unique sleep profiles.
We're passionate about sleep health because we understand its profound impact on daily life. Poor sleep affects everything from cognitive function and mood to physical health and productivity. By helping Australians find the right mattress, we're not just improving nights—we're improving lives.
Unlike generic review sites, we specialise exclusively in the Australian single mattress market. This focused approach allows us to provide depth of knowledge that broader sites simply cannot match. We understand the specific concerns of Australian consumers, from compliance with local safety standards to the challenges of mattress delivery in regional areas.
Our testing methodology goes beyond surface-level assessments. We evaluate mattresses based on real-world criteria including pressure point relief, temperature regulation, edge support, motion isolation, durability indicators, and value for money. We consider factors like warranty terms, trial periods, and customer service responsiveness because we know that buying a mattress is just the beginning of a long-term relationship.
Every piece of content on our site is written with care and backed by research. Whether you're reading a guide on sleep hygiene or using our mattress comparison tool, you can trust that the information comes from genuine expertise and a sincere desire to help.
