Sleep enthusiasts dedicated to helping Australians rest better
King Single Mattress Australia was founded with a simple mission: to cut through the marketing noise and help everyday Australians find the right mattress for their needs. What started as a personal project born out of frustration with confusing mattress specifications and misleading claims has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of readers across Australia.
Our journey began when our founder, after spending weeks researching king single mattresses for a teenage son who had outgrown his childhood bed, realised just how overwhelming the mattress shopping experience had become. Terms like "comfort layers," "pocket coil density," "foam ILD ratings," and "edge support systems" were thrown around without explanation. Price differences of hundreds of dollars between seemingly identical products made no sense. Trial periods, warranties, and return policies varied wildly. Something had to change.
We assembled a team of sleep enthusiasts, researchers, and writers who share a passion for helping people understand what actually matters when choosing a mattress. We've spent countless hours testing mattresses in real-world conditions, studying sleep science research, and interviewing industry experts to build our knowledge base. We understand the difference between open-cell and closed-cell foam structures, why zone support matters for spinal alignment, and how different spring gauges affect firmness and durability.
Today, our team continues to evaluate new products as they enter the Australian market, update our guides based on the latest research, and answer reader questions to ensure everyone can find their perfect sleep surface. We believe that better sleep leads to better lives, and we're committed to making the path to better sleep as clear and straightforward as possible.

Content Director
Emma oversees our educational content, ensuring our guides are accessible to everyone regardless of their prior knowledge about mattress materials, construction techniques, or sleep science.
We maintain editorial independence from mattress manufacturers. Our opinions cannot be bought, and we clearly disclose all affiliate relationships.
We explain our testing methodology, acknowledge our limitations, and update our content when new information becomes available.
We believe informed consumers make better decisions. Our goal is to teach you how to evaluate mattresses, not just tell you what to buy.
We focus specifically on the Australian market, understanding local brands, sizing standards, and delivery considerations unique to our region.
Unlike many review sites that simply aggregate specifications from manufacturer websites, we take a hands-on approach to mattress evaluation. Our testing process considers factors that matter in real-world use: how a mattress feels after a week of sleep rather than just the first night, how edge support holds up when you sit on the side of the bed to put on shoes, whether motion isolation claims hold true when a partner tosses and turns, and how well cooling technologies actually perform in Australian summer conditions.
We pay attention to details that manufacturers often gloss over. The density of foam layers (measured in kg/m³) tells us more about durability than marketing terms like "high-density support." The coil count matters, but so does the wire gauge and coil type. A 10-year warranty sounds great until you read the fine print about sagging depth thresholds. These are the insights we bring to every review and guide we publish.
We also recognise that the "best" mattress is highly personal. A side sleeper with hip pain has very different needs than a back sleeper who runs hot. That's why we don't just rank mattresses from best to worst—we help you understand which mattress is best for your specific situation, body type, and preferences.
We believe in complete transparency about how we fund our work. King Single Mattress Australia earns commissions when readers purchase products through our affiliate links. This includes participation in the Amazon Associates program. These commissions help us maintain our website, conduct research, and continue providing free educational content.
Importantly, our affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations. We've recommended products from brands that don't offer affiliate programs and criticised products from brands that do. Our editorial integrity is non-negotiable. When you read a recommendation on our site, it's because we genuinely believe it's a good choice—not because we'll earn more from one product than another.
