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.

A soft cashmere cover

There are few surfaces in the world as soft as our cashmere knitted fabric cover. It is a natural, breathable, glorious material. Ecosa, on the other hand? They use polyester.

Excellent edge support

Our engineers have worked hard to deliver superior edge support on the Sleep Republic mattress. Strong support surrounds the mattress’s edge, preventing you from tumbling out of bed during the night.

High-density springs

A higher spring count maximises support. While an average mattress might have 800 springs in a queen size, at Sleep Republic, we have 1850 individual pocket springs.

Natural and renewable latex

Our latex layer is natural, renewable and serves a practical purpose as well. The latex on our Sleep Republic mattress regulates airflow and makes Aussie summers less sweltering.

Quality memory foam

Springs provide base support, and foam raises the comfort level. On the Sleep Republic mattress, you get both foam and springs; the best of both worlds.

Enhanced airflow

Other mattresses might make you feel hot and sweaty on summer nights. But with Sleep Republic’s 3D spacer fabric, airflow is enhanced. Eva, on the other hand, has more conventional flat panelling.

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.
