Gel Foam Mattresses

What Makes Gel Foam Mattresses Different

Gel foam mattresses combine traditional memory foam with gel particles infused throughout the foam layers. You get the memory foam feel with gel technology built into the construction. Many gel foam mattresses also use open-cell foam in their layer structure, and the gel is worked through the foam rather than applied on top.

It's one of our most popular foam types in Australia, especially among customers who have specific preferences about how their mattress feels.

Who Chooses It?

If you sleep warm or tend to throw off blankets overnight, a gel memory foam mattress is worth a look. Gel foam is our most requested option among customers who mention body heat or temperature when they come in-store. Comfort and temperature preferences are personal, so the best way to know if it suits you is to try one.

Side sleepers tend to favour gel foam, and back and stomach sleepers find it comfortable too. The feel is different to a spring mattress, and many of our customers prefer it once they've tested one in person.

Our gel foam mattresses come in a range of firmness levels from plush to firm. We stock all standard Australian sizes: single, long single, king single, double, queen, king, and super king. Not sure what suits you? Pop into one of our 50+ stores and try a few.

Looking After Your Mattress

Start with a quality mattress protector. It guards against spills and keeps your mattress in good condition. You'll need one for our 30-night comfort guarantee too (purchased in the same transaction).

Round out your sleep setup with comfortable pillows and quality bedding. If you want to tweak the comfort, a mattress topper adds another layer on top.
