Cloud

I built the Cloud for side sleepers and anyone who needs their shoulders and hips to properly sink in. Most mattresses have one spring system. The Cloud has three: two layers of microsprings on top, and body-weight matched pocket springs underneath.

The top microspring layer handles pressure relief. When you lie on your side, it lets your shoulder and hip sink in so your spine stays straight. The second layer underneath it handles contouring. It follows the shape of your lower back and fills the gap that a single layer would miss.

One thicker layer can't do both jobs. A thick layer soft enough for your shoulder would sag under your hips. Two thinner layers, each doing their own job, solve the problem without compromise. That's 3,200 springs on a queen, each moving independently.

We're the only Australian mattress we know of that uses dual microspring layers. Most don't use microsprings at all.

“I was using the Koala queen size mattress supplied. Due to the hardness of the foam my back developed a pain which I had never experienced before. I have since bought the Cloud Latex Queen from Ausbeds. The pain has completely vanished.”

I get asked this a lot. The short answer: if you're a side sleeper, the Cloud is probably your best bet. The double layer of microsprings lets your shoulders and hips sink in where they need to, without the whole mattress caving.

If you're between 50kg and 70kg, start at Level 6 (Medium). That's where about 82% of people in that bracket end up staying. If you're 70 to 90kg, Level 9. Over 90kg, Level 12. The springs are calibrated to your body weight, not some generic “medium firm” label that means nothing.

Couples do well on the Cloud, too, as long as you're within about 40kg of each other. If the gap is bigger than that, we do a half-half configuration where each side has different springs. Come visit us in Marrickville, and we'll set it up for you.

On the edge between two brackets? Go firmer. Lighter always feels like sinking. You get 2 free component swaps during your 7-month trial to fine-tune. See our firmness guide for more details.

“My partner and I both had back and neck pain and realised it may be our old mattress. We ended up choosing the Cloud Latex Queen. A few weeks later our back and neck pains are pretty much gone and we are both getting a far better sleep!”

If you sleep on your stomach and prefer a very direct, firm feel, check out the Cooper first. No microsprings, so you're lying closer to the pocket springs. Less cushioning, more feedback. Some people prefer that.

If you want the absolute firmest option we make, the Cloud isn't it. The Cloud starts at Level 2 (our softest). For Level 8 and above without microsprings, the Cooper is the right pick.

If budget matters, the Cooper uses the same springs, same latex, same cover. The only difference is microspring layers. It's $1,000 less for a queen. And if you change your mind later, you can add microspring layers yourself for $500 each. That's the whole point of modular.

I've had back pain for almost 10 years. Every single morning I wake up with pain. Ausbeds is the first mattress I've consistently slept on without having that pain.

As a hot sleeper, the Cloud range is not a 'hot' bed. I get a brilliant night's sleep.

The result is the first truly satisfactory mattress we have experienced in 50+ years. Getting the right spring rate for bodyweight is essential, but no other manufacturer seems to realize this.
