5 Best Mattresses for Couples

In this guide here, I will talk about the 5 best mattresses for couples to try to help you get better sleep. After all, this is one of the main questions I get when my readers contact me. The main reason for that is partner disturbance so you should make sure that you find a mattress that won’t cause you a fight. Besides that, you should also look for good edge support but we will talk about it later.

What type of mattress is best for couples?

Before you buy a mattress for you and your partner, you should focus on 3 main things.

  1. Minimal motion transfer
  2. Good edge support
  3. Cooling ability

If a mattress has all three, it’s a great choice! If it has two, it can still be a buy. On average, foam mattresses tend to do better for couples as they cope better with partner disturbance. On the other hand, hybrid mattresses, tend to have better edge support. That sounds confusing but don’t worry, I have gathered for you a number of choices. Let’s move below to see them one by one.

Editor’s Pick – Dusk & Dawn Premiere

The first pick on this list is the Dusk and Dawn Premiere mattress which won the ‘Best Mattress for couples’ award for 2023! This Australian-made mattress is a hybrid option so you should expect excellent edge support. Moreover, it features an excellent cooling system so you won’t feel hot even during the Australian summer. Finally, the Dusk and Dawn Premiere mattress comes with pocket springs that are designed to minimize motion transfer which makes it ideal for couples. Besides that, it’s a supportive and comfortable mattress and it has one of the best scores in my reviews. It’s available in 6 sizes and you can choose between two firmness profiles, ‘comfy medium’ or ‘firm support’.

When you buy a Dusk and Dawn mattress, you will get a 100-night trial period which gives you plenty of time to try it and decide later whether you want to keep it or not. Moreover, they offer a 10-year warranty which will cover you for a long time. Add a free delivery service for Metro areas and you have a great deal! I think that this mattress is a great choice for couples and most importantly, it comes at a fair price.

Best Foam Mattress – Koala

The second pick for this list is the Koala mattress. Just like Emma, this is also a foam-only mattress which has a number of benefits. The Kloudcell foam used here is designed to stay cool during the night but it also has the pressure-relieving properties of memory foam. In addition, it has minimal motion transfer so partner disturbance shouldn’t be an issue. When designing this mattress, they wanted to create a family one so the Koala mattress comes with good edge support. It comes with a medium-firm feel and it’s available in 5 sizes.

All Koala mattresses come with a 120-night trial period which is the best you can find in Australia. If you are not happy with it, you can return it and get a full refund. Besides that, you will also get a 10-year warranty plus free delivery for mainland Australia. Overall, this is a great choice for couples and it comes with an excellent support package.

Best Adjustable Mattress – Ecosa

Ecosa is a popular brand in Australia, and it initially became famous for its ‘wine glass’ ad. If you haven’t seen it, you should visit my review here. It’s an impressive video and it shows that this mattress has minimal motion transfer. When designing it, they wanted to give more options to their customers so this mattress comes with a modular design which means that you can change the feel according to your taste. This is great and not many mattresses come with this feature. The edge support is decent and the Ecosa mattress will provide your body with plenty of support and pressure relief. Finally, this one is designed to sleep cool and it’s available in 7 sizes for you to choose from.

A mattress wouldn’t make this list unless it came with excellent service and support. The people at Ecosa value their customers so they offer a 15-year guarantee and a 100-night trial period. On top, if you live in the Metro area, you are eligible for a same-day delivery service and of course, this is free. As you see, this is a great package which makes this unique mattress a great deal for all couples who are looking to upgrade from their old mattress.

Are hybrid mattresses good for couples?

If you don’t like foam-only mattresses but share your bed with a partner, you should consider getting a hybrid mattress. However, you should try to get one that is designed for couples and Origin is a maker that had this in mind before releasing Origin Hybrid mattress.

Best Hybrid Mattress – Origin Hybrid

This mattress sits at the top of their range and it’s one of the best I have reviewed. It features special pocket springs that are designed to eliminate motion transfer so it’s good for couples. Moreover, the edge support is excellent and they have added an innovative cooling system that works very well. The mattress comes with a medium-firm feel and it’s very supportive. All these make it an excellent choice and the Origin Hybrid is available in 5 sizes.

A mattress of this calibre couldn’t come with an average support package and the people at Origin knew that. For this reason, they decided to offer a 15-year warranty and a 120-night trial period. This is a great deal and it shows how confident they are in their products. They also offer free delivery for mainland Australia which usually takes between 1-7 business days. Overall, this is a great mattress and if you have the budget, I highly recommend it.

What if I suffer from back pain?

If you suffer from a bad back and you share your bed with a partner, you should try getting a high-quality orthopaedic mattress. The maker that comes to mind first is Ergoflex as they offer a Tempur alternative that won’t break the bank.

Best Orthopaedic Mattress – Ergoflex

All the above make it a couple-friendly mattress so if you want to solve 2 problems at the same time, this one is the way to go.

All Ergoflex mattresses come with a 30-night trial period and a 10-year warranty. If you live in the Metro areas, you will also get free next-day delivery.
