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.
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.
| Size class | Type | Common for | Ex. street price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single / King Single | Budget foam or innerspring | kids / guest / bunk | example $200–500 |
| Single / King Single | Hybrid or better foam | upgrade / guest | example $400–900 |
| Double / Queen | Budget foam or innerspring | starter / guest | example $350–800 |
| Double / Queen | Memory foam (all-foam) | everyday sleep | example $600–1,500 |
| Double / Queen | Hybrid (foam + coils) | everyday / pressure relief | example $800–2,000 |
| King / Super King | Memory foam | primary bed | example $900–2,200 |
| King / Super King | Hybrid | primary bed | example $1,200–3,000 |
| Any size | Luxury / specialty (latex, Tempur-class; adjustable bases as mattress+base) | premium | example $2,000–5,000+ |
Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Street price is the advertised dollar before delivery, white-glove, and removal. Same queen label, different build. AUD.
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.
The class is in the model name and the build. The queen label does not tell you which row you are on.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
