How Much Is a New Mattress in Australia?

Size and type decide the sticker. Example street prices by class — foam, hybrid, innerspring — not one “queen” number.

Also for: US

A new mattress is sold as a size. The sticker is the size plus the build. A queen foam and a queen hybrid share a label on the tag and almost nothing else. Compare street price by size class and type — foam, hybrid, innerspring — then add delivery, white-glove, and old-mattress removal.

These are example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Street price here is the mattress before delivery, white-glove, and removal. A budget foam single at Kmart sits toward the bottom of a band; a Tempur-class or latex king at Harvey Norman sits toward the top. Dollars are AUD.

How much is a new mattress in Australia?

Example street prices by size class and type. Street price is the advertised dollar before delivery, white-glove, and removal. The paired Double / Queen foam and hybrid rows are the point: same queen label, different build, different band. AU size labels only — Single / King Single, Double / Queen, King / Super King.

Every dollar in that table is an example, not a sourced 2026 street price. Delivery, white-glove, old-mattress removal, and an adjustable base sit on top of the sticker.

Paired Double / Queen rows keep the type premium visible. Memory foam and hybrid are not one mid-range queen band. Single / King Single and King / Super King split the same way.

Foam vs hybrid vs innerspring vs luxury

  • Budget foam or innerspring: entry boxed foam or a basic coil bed. Kids, guest, bunk. Kmart value beds and warehouse boxed foam live here, not on the hybrid row.
  • Memory foam (all-foam): everyday sleep. Contour and motion isolation. A different band from budget foam on the same queen label.
  • Hybrid (foam + coils): everyday / pressure relief. Coils plus foam. Harvey Norman floor models and Koala-class boxed hybrids often land here.
  • Innerspring: traditional coils, less foam. Guest and budget double / queen.
  • Luxury / specialty: latex, Tempur-class foam, and adjustable bases sold as mattress plus base. Premium.

The class is in the model name and the build. The queen label does not tell you which row you are on.

Model names, trials, and what sits on top of the sticker

Harvey Norman, Costco Australia, and Kmart often sell beds that share a size label and not a build. Store-exclusive model names change. Sometimes it is the foam density; sometimes the coil count drops. Compare the model name and the type, not the queen tag.

Sleep-trial windows are part of the value: a boxed trial at Koala or Costco Australia is not the same as a showroom return at Harvey Norman, Sleep City, or Forty Winks. White-glove delivery and old-mattress removal sit on top of the sticker. An adjustable base is mattress plus base, not the mattress row. EOFY, Boxing Day, Black Friday, and Mother’s Day move stickers inside a band — they are not a sourced 2026 sale dollar.

Who puts a street price

  • Harvey Norman: negotiation and price-match on the floor. Store-exclusive names; push for the out-the-door number including white-glove and removal.
  • Costco Australia: boxed beds plus a long return. Warehouse-exclusive models. Compare the return window, not just the sticker.
  • Kmart: lowest budget boxed foam and Anko-class names. The usual win on a single, king single, or guest double.
  • Sleep City and Forty Winks: specialist floors. Showroom trial and whatever the ticket says about delivery and removal.
  • IKEA AU: a boxed guest, kids, or starter option if the AU size fits. Not a hybrid flagship.
  • Koala: DTC boxed foam and hybrid. Trial window is the extra on the tag.
  • Tempur: Tempur-class luxury foam. The class is in the model name, not the king label.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a new mattress in Australia?

Example only: Single / King Single budget foam or innerspring often $200–$500; Single / King Single hybrid or better foam $400–$900; Double / Queen budget foam or innerspring $350–$800; Double / Queen memory foam $600–$1,500; Double / Queen hybrid $800–$2,000; King / Super King memory foam $900–$2,200; King / Super King hybrid $1,200–$3,000; any size luxury / specialty $2,000–$5,000+. Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Street price is the mattress before delivery, white-glove, and removal. AUD.

Why isn't a queen one number?

Same queen label, different build. A budget foam queen, a memory-foam queen, and a hybrid queen are different products. Size and type decide the sticker — not one “queen” number.

What's the difference between foam, hybrid, innerspring, and luxury?

Budget foam or innerspring is the kids / guest / bunk floor. Memory foam is all-foam everyday sleep. Hybrid is foam plus coils for everyday pressure relief. Innerspring is traditional coils. Luxury / specialty is latex, Tempur-class foam, or an adjustable base sold as mattress plus base. Koala, Tempur, and the specialist floors sell across these classes; the class is in the model name, not the size.

Should I compare the model name or the size?

The model name and the type. Harvey Norman, Costco Australia, and Kmart often carry beds that look like the same queen and are not. Confirm foam vs hybrid vs innerspring, then the trial and the extras that sit on top of the sticker.

What sits on top of the sticker?

Delivery, white-glove, and old-mattress removal. A sleep trial is part of the value: Costco Australia and Koala boxed returns are not the same as a Harvey Norman, Sleep City, or Forty Winks showroom return. Kmart and IKEA AU are the box price until you add delivery.

Are sleep trials worth it?

Yes on a boxed bed you cannot lie on first. A long window at Koala or Costco Australia removes most of the risk if returns are actually free. Harvey Norman, Sleep City, and Forty Winks are a floor trial plus whatever the ticket says about returns. Confirm the fee before you count the trial as free.

Does Harvey Norman or Costco beat Koala on a mattress?

On the box, Koala or Kmart can undercut. On the street total — negotiation at Harvey Norman, Costco Australia's return window, white-glove and removal — the floor and the warehouse often close the gap. Compare the same size and type the same week.
