Materials, sustainability and care

Sustainability

Our modular design means you replace individual components, not the entire mattress. A worn layer or a spring unit that needs updating gets swapped out on its own.

Organic latex is biodegradable and lasts 3–4 times longer than other mattress foams. The whole mattress is handcrafted in our Sydney workshop.

Care

Use a mattress protector. We recommend Protect-A-Bed cotton terry. The Tencel cover can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth or machine-washed on cold. Do not tumble dry.

Is it right for you?

Who the Aurora is for

A great choice for

  • Back sleepers
  • Side sleepers who prefer a balanced feel, or who find plush mattresses too soft
  • Combination sleepers who want a balanced feel rather than a plush one
  • Heavier sleepers who want cushioning but prefer to stay on top
  • Stomach sleepers who don't want it really firm, usually with firm springs

Probably not for you if

  • You want it really soft. The Cloud uses the same construction with soft latex.
  • You want a very firm bed. Look at the Cooper.

Not sure? The mattress quiz takes two minutes, or you can book a mattress consultation with us.

How it feels

Cushioned, but you stay on top

The medium latex spreads your weight, and the two layers of micro springs underneath take the edge off pressure points. You lie on the mattress rather than in it, and it's easy to move on.

The Aurora used to have one layer of micro springs. With firmer springs underneath, two layers give better cushioning and comfort, even for back sleepers, so that's how we make it now.

“Me and my husband have been having the best sleep we have had in years. Both of us don't have great backs and we have been waking up painless and well rested.”

– Catherine, ProductReview

How it's made

What's inside the Aurora

Natural latex and springs, with no memory foam. Handmade in Sydney.

Medium natural latex

5cm of GOLS-certified latex

Medium latex (70kg/m³) cushions you while keeping you on top. It's organic, springs back quickly as you move, naturally resists dust mites and lasts 3–4 times longer than most polyurethane foams.

Medium natural latex

Two layers of micro springs

3,200 in a Queen

Small, individually pocketed springs sit between the latex and the main springs. They take the pressure off your shoulders and hips while the medium latex keeps the surface balanced.

Two layers of micro springs

Honeycomb pocket springs

986 in a Queen, matched to your weight

Medium or firm springs carry your weight. The honeycomb layout fits about 30% more springs than a standard row layout, so the support follows your body more closely. The unit flips for a firmer setting at home.

Honeycomb pocket springs

Tencel cover

Removable and machine washable

The eucalyptus-based Tencel cover stretches with the latex and springs instead of fighting them. It unzips completely, so every layer inside can be changed, and it can be machine-washed on a cold cycle.

    If it feels too firm, too soft or uncomfortable in a particular area, call us. We'll help identify which part of the mattress needs changing.

  4. Fine-tune it with two free swaps

Frequently asked questions

Is the Aurora right for me?

Is the Aurora good for back sleepers?

Yes. It's the mattress we usually recommend for back sleepers. The medium latex keeps your hips from sinking too far, and the micro springs follow the shape of your back.

Aurora or Cloud? I sleep on my side.

Both suit side sleepers. Choose the Aurora if you want cushioning for your shoulders and hips, but still like to feel on top of the mattress. Choose the Cloud if your shoulders get sore or you like a plush, cushioned feel.

If you choose one and find you'd prefer the other, we can change the latex during your 7-month trial. The latex is free; you just pay delivery.

Is the Aurora good for stomach sleepers?

If you don't want it really firm, yes, usually with firm springs so your hips stay up. If you like a really firm bed, the Cooper is the better fit.

Is the Aurora good for couples?

Yes, if you both like a slightly firmer feel. Choose the springs for the heavier person's weight.

If you weigh quite different amounts, the Cloud with firm springs is a good choice for many couples. The lighter person gets the softness of the latex, and the heavier person gets the support of the firm springs.

If one of you wants your side firmer, we can add a layer of felt over the springs on that side. It makes the spring tension on that side about 15–20% firmer, at no extra cost.

For advice on your situation, book a call with one of our team.

Why is it the same price as the Cloud?

The Cloud and Aurora are built the same way. The only difference is the latex on top: soft in the Cloud, medium in the Aurora. You're choosing the feel you prefer, not more or less mattress.

Springs and support

Which springs do I need?

Choose them for your weight and how you sleep. Side sleepers should choose firm springs from 100kg, back sleepers from 80kg and stomach sleepers above 65kg. Below those weights, choose medium springs. Sharing the bed? Use the heavier person's weight.

Is it supportive enough if I'm heavier?

Yes. Firm springs carry the weight, and the medium latex keeps you on top. If you weigh more than 135kg, call us on (02) 8999 3333 so we can check the setup with you.

Materials

I thought the Aurora had one layer of micro springs?

It used to. We now make it with two, because two layers give better cushioning and comfort, even for back sleepers. The medium latex still keeps you on top.

If you're after the single-layer Aurora, try this one first. If it feels slightly too cushioned, contact us during your 7-month trial and we'll adjust it. Own an earlier Aurora? We still support it with parts and adjustments.

Does it contain memory foam?

No. There's no memory foam in any Ausbeds mattress. The cushioning comes from natural latex and micro springs.

Is latex hot?

Natural latex is open-cell and breathes better than memory foam. There's only 5cm of it, over micro springs and pocket springs that let air move through, with no foam box around the edge.

No mattress can promise a cool night, but this one doesn't trap heat the way thick foam does.

Is it good for allergies?

Natural latex is resistant to dust mites, mould and bacteria. The design helps too: the springs run right to the edge, with no foam box around them, so air moves through the mattress and lowers the risk of mould.

Adjustments and your trial

What if it doesn't feel right?

Call us and tell us what you're noticing. We'll help you work out what needs to change.

If it needs to be firmer, you can do that yourself. Unzip the cover, lift out the top layers and flip the pocket springs over so the side with white mesh faces up. That side is around 15% firmer.

If that isn't enough, we can change the latex or the springs. Your 7-month trial includes 2 of these changes for free; you just pay delivery.

Can I make it softer or firmer later?

Yes. To make it firmer, unzip the cover, lift out the top layers and flip the pocket springs over so the side with white mesh faces up. That side is around 15% firmer.

To make it softer, we can replace the medium latex with soft latex, which turns it into a Cloud. During your 7-month trial, the latex is free; you just pay delivery.

Can I replace a layer later?

Yes. Every layer can be replaced on its own, so if something wears out, you replace that part rather than the mattress. After the trial, no single component costs more than 25% of the mattress price.

Delivery, care and warranty

How is it delivered?

Full size, never rolled. We deliver across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra, carry it to your bedroom, set it up and take the packaging away. Check your exact cost in the Delivery info section above.

Will it work on an adjustable base?

Yes. The pocket springs and latex flex with an adjustable base. Any solid, flat base also works, as long as the slats don't bend.

Can I wash the cover?

Yes. The Tencel cover unzips completely. Machine wash it cold and line dry it; don't tumble dry it. We also recommend a mattress protector.

What does the 10-year warranty cover?

Manufacturing defects and significant, premature wear, such as dipping in the comfort layers or springs that have gone significantly softer. It doesn't cover comfort preferences after the trial or normal wear and tear.
