There are numerous reasons why we recommend this mattress, including its OEKO-TEX® and CertiPUR-US® certifications, as well as the antibacterial and breathable carbon fibre cover, which ensures an allergy-free and hygienic sleeping environment.
Underneath that is the eco-friendly cotton pad with soft but supportive memory foam. Then there are more support layers of foam, followed by pocket springs. This allows more airflow through the mattress, resulting in a healthier and more hygienic sleeping environment while providing great back support.

B) Breathable, Dry, and Cool
The breathable materials and springs increase airflow throughout the layers, keeping you cooler at night.
Also, it's double certified, so it's environmentally, ethically, and sustainably conscious from raw materials to delivery. You’ll find no solvents or harsh chemicals in the bed.
Pros:
- Popular brand (fairly new to Australia)
- 120-Night Trial
- Premium bamboo charcoal fabric cover
Cons:
- Released in 2022 (less established in Australia)

The Ergoflex 5G is an original mattress company and is one of the only brands that’s been in business longer than the warranty. Also, it uses high-density memory foam that will last over many years.
It’s a recognized orthopedic mattress and sells in the UK also with stellar reviews. What makes this mattress supportive is the premium quality foams that have the highest graded density—5th Gen True HD ACPT™. Which means they offer more pressure relief and have better longevity.
The Mattress Comprises Three Layers of Foam:
- Top Layer: 9cm of viscoelastic memory foam, which provides body-conforming support and no partner disturbance.
- Middle Layer: A 5cm Cool-Sleep™ airflow system at the mattress’s core allows for air circulation and temperature regulation.
- Foundation: A 9cm high resilience impact-resistant layer that ensures perfectly weighted support for upper layers and long-lasting performance.
While this mattress ticks many boxes with its top-notch hospital-grade materials, back pain remains a tricky issue. There’s no one solution for everybody. This might not be the right fit if the sinking feeling of memory foam displeases you, and you would rather have more support with a spring base.
If this is the case, check out our other choices, like a hybrid of memory foam and pocket springs. If not, you get a 30-night sleep trial with the Ergoflex to try it out.
Pick if...
... You prefer a classic memory foam mattress with proven orthopaedic support similar to a TEMPUR.

Firmness: Adjustable (Medium to Medium-Firm)

Trial Period: 100 Nights
Warranty: 10 Years
Rating: ★★★★★ (4.4/5)

Honestly, we love the Macoda Mattress. The brand is not as popular (yet) as the other ‘bed in a box’ manufacturers, but its excellent reviews and features make it a great mattress to consider.
This mattress targets back pain with targeted pressure relief to conform to your body and help align the spine. Then, five-zone pocket springs target different parts of your body, meaning more support where you need it. Furthermore, the edge support will keep you in the right position and stop the edges from dipping—making it perfect for side sleepers and back sleepers.
Next, Let's Examine the Comfort Layer:
This mattress is unique because you can switch the top comfort layers by unzipping and flipping the two inserts. This means you can make it soft, medium, or firm in a couple of minutes.
A layer of latex and a layer of memory foam with thousands of cooling gel beads work together to ensure you don't overheat.
A plush bamboo cover surrounds everything, wicking moisture away to keep you and your mattress feeling fresh. Also, it is highly breathable, super soft, and environmentally friendly.
The polyurethane foams are CertiPUR-US® certified, and the bamboo quilting is Oeko-Tex® certified, which means they are free from any harmful chemicals.
You get a 100-night trial to see if the mattress is right for you. With the quality materials and adjustable firmness, we think it’s an excellent solution for sleepers with back pain.
Pick if...
... You want a customisable mattress that adapts to your changing comfort needs.

10. Sleeping Duck mattress
One of the most expensive mattresses on the market because of the high-quality materials used. Sleeping Duck has six layers and two different comfort levels available medium and firm. You can also adjust the foam layers for the personalised perfect night's sleep.
