# Best mattress in a box in Australia (2026)
If you want a mattress delivered to your door, my shortlist would start with Sleeping Duck, Sleep Republic, Koala and Ecosa\. They suit different sleepers, so the best choice depends on your preferred firmness, sleeping position, budget and whether you sleep hot.
Bedbuyer's latest Australian guide, updated 5 October 2026, names Sleep Republic LUXE its best overall mattress in a box and Eva its best value pick. Tom's Guide independently recommends Sleeping Duck Mach II as its best overall Australian mattress for 2026. bedbuyer.com.auwww.tomsguide.comwww.productreview.com.au
## My top picks
!Sleeping Duck
1\. Sleeping Duck Mach II mattress
(Best overall)
Best starting point if you want adjustable firmness and a supportive hybrid mattress. Its customisable feel is especially useful if you and your partner prefer different levels of firmness.

4\. Ecosa Mattress
(Best for firmness adjustment)
A practical option if you're unsure whether you prefer medium or firm. Its layered design lets you adjust the feel rather than committing to one firmness from day one.

## Three things to check before buying
- Trial and returns\: Check how long you can sleep on the mattress and whether return collection is free in your postcode.
- Firmness\: Side sleepers often prefer more cushioning at the shoulders and hips; back and stomach sleepers may prefer a firmer, supportive feel.
- Heat and movement\: If you sleep hot or share a bed, compare breathable hybrid designs and motion isolation rather than relying on marketing claims alone.
