I have a foam box mattress, canât remember which brand but itâs about 6y old and I find it comfortable. Have previously had sprung mattresses and I find the foam just as comfortable. (Disclaimer- I donât have back issues so I didnât have any specific needs). One thing to note, it was a bit smelly initially as the foam degassed, so maybe plan to set it up on a day you can leave the windows open all day so it can air out.

The time has come to replace our mattress⌠itâs had quite the journey. Does anyone have any recs? Are box mattresses still all the rage? Considering going to Sleeping Duck for a looksee.

I have an ecosa box mattress and I really like it. You can trial it for a fair while as well.

I got a koala then got a topper for it cos my hips still hurt. I shouldâve bought the better mattress with the built in topper. I got the 2nd cheapest of the four koala options. FWIW I am now happy with it. I bought new sheets too, Iâve got a voucher for $40 off canningvale Iâm not planning to use if you want it. I got their sereno linen/cotton blend.

I donât know if theyâre still a company or what, but I have a bed frame and mattress (and couch) from Koala. Has lasted a solid 5ish years now.
Bed frame has no bolts or screws, it just pieces together, and the mattress is still lovely to sleep on.
Disclaimer: I did spend a few years before getting the bed frame and mattress on a rotation of airbeds and swags, so take my recc with a grain of salt lol
