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 Cooper is for

A great choice for

  • Stomach sleepers who like it really firm and need firm support under their hips
  • People who want a very firm bed, including people who find most mattresses too soft
  • People who find a cushioned mattress gives them lower back pain
  • Spare and guest rooms that need a supportive, long-lasting mattress

Probably not for you if

  • You sleep on your side. Most people, though not all, find the Cooper too firm for side sleeping. Look at the Cloud or Aurora.
  • You want it plush. The Cloud is our plushest mattress.
  • You sleep on your stomach but don't want it really firm. The Aurora with firm springs is usually the better fit.

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

How it feels

Very firm, by design

You lie on top of the Cooper. The natural latex takes the edge off the surface, and firm pocket springs hold you up underneath. There's a layer of high-density foam between them where the Cloud and Aurora have micro springs.

It's also our lowest price, and a natural-latex alternative to a firm mattress in a box. Read how it compares in Sleeping Duck Mach II vs Ausbeds Cooper.

“I received a call from Karl at Ausbeds who advised they could replace the springs to make the mattress firmer. The following day the spring set was delivered and replaced. The mattress is now perfect for me.”

– Tobias M., ProductReview

How it's made

What's inside the Cooper

Natural latex on top, firm pocket springs underneath. Handmade in Sydney.

Medium natural latex

5cm of GOLS-certified latex

The same medium latex (70kg/m³) as the Aurora. 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

High-density foam layer

In place of micro springs

A layer of high-density polyurethane foam sits where the Cloud and Aurora have micro springs. It's what makes the Cooper very firm and keeps the price down. There's no memory foam.

Firm honeycomb pocket springs

986 in a Queen

Firm springs come as standard. 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.

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.

Built to adapt

Room to change later

Every layer in the Cooper can be replaced. If you decide you want more cushioning, we replace the foam with two layers of micro springs and it becomes an Aurora.

You pay the difference in price: $500 per micro spring layer, or $1,000 to turn your Cooper into an Aurora. You keep the same cover, springs and latex.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Cooper right for me?

Will the Cooper help my lower back pain?

It can, if a very firm surface is what your back needs. If lying on the floor eases your lower back, the Cooper is likely to suit you.

For some people, a cushioned mattress lets their hips sink, and they wake up with lower back pain. If that's you, the Cooper's minimal cushioning can make a real difference. It gives you just enough comfort on top of a really firm mattress.

If you have persistent pain, your GP or physio can advise you on what's best for your condition.

I grew up sleeping on a really firm bed. Will the Cooper suit me?

Very likely. Many of our customers grew up on a really firm bed, including people from India, China and here in Australia. Some grew up sleeping on the floor with a very thin mattress.

Moving from a very firm bed to a very cushioned one can be hard to get used to. If that's you, the Cooper will suit you.

If it still isn't firm enough, we can make it firmer by swapping to firm latex or removing some of the cushioning.

Is it good for back sleepers?

Yes, if you want it very firm. If you'd like a little more cushioning while staying on top, look at the Aurora.

Is the Cooper good for side sleepers?

Usually not. Most people, though not all, find the Cooper too firm for side sleeping. The exception is side sleepers who find cushioned mattresses give them lower back pain. If that's you, give us a call and we'll talk it through.

Why is it $1,000 cheaper than the Cloud and Aurora?

It has one layer of high-density polyurethane foam where the Cloud and Aurora have 3,200 micro springs. The latex, pocket springs, cover, trial and warranty are the same. There's no memory foam in the Cooper or in any Ausbeds mattress.

How does it compare with a firm mattress in a box?

The Cooper puts 5cm of natural latex on top, is delivered full size and has springs and layers you can replace. Many firm boxed mattresses use polyurethane foam at the surface and arrive rolled. For a detailed comparison, read Sleeping Duck Mach II vs Ausbeds Cooper.

Springs and support

Is the Cooper very firm for everyone?

Yes. It's very firm by design and comes with firm springs only, so lighter people will find it very firm too. The natural latex on top takes the edge off, so it isn't like sleeping on a board. If you sleep on your side, the Cloud or Aurora will suit you better.

Is it suitable for heavier people?

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

Materials

Does the Cooper sleep hot?

The Cooper has 5cm of breathable natural latex on top, pocket springs underneath and no foam box around the edge, so air can move through it. It has a foam layer where the Cloud and Aurora have micro springs, but far less foam than an all-foam mattress.

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 later?

Yes. We can replace the foam layer with 2 layers of micro springs, which turns it into an Aurora. You pay the $1,000 difference in price.

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.
