We ordered a Sleep Republic Hybrid Queen mattress to go with our newly purchased recessed wood bed frame. Please be forewarned that the mattress is quite heavy (57 kg boxed and 49 kg unboxed)!!! For elderly folks like ourselves, this can be quite challenging. Getting it out of the box is easier with two people. Box comes with roller wheels on… Read more

one end and a handle of top to be able to move it around before unpacking but the box came a bit crushed to I had to use a hand truck and strap which is much easier anyway.

Unrolling the mattress is an experience and you have to make sure you locate the supplied cutter that is included in the envelope that comes with the mattress as it is the safest way to cut the plastic envelope the holds the mattress in a tight roll. Try to avoid using scissors with a point.

Once you cut the plastic be prepared for a very fast decompression as the mattress inflates quite quickly. If your frame slats are wood, make sure that the they are completely smooth and free of splinters so that you don't tear the mattress while you position the mattress.

Once positioned we found that the mattress was simply too heavy for my wife to lift the corners to make the bed. She wanted a bed that she could make herself without my help. In that case, we had to remove the mattress, disassemble the bed frame, take the rails to a cabinet shop and have them retrofit the bed frame from a recessed bed frame to a platform bed frame. It turns this is the type of bed frame was recommended by Sleep Republic in the first place.

Ah, the fine print.

Once we retrofitted the frame to a platform type, we reset the mattress, purchased two high quality mattress lifter wedges, and now my wife can put on the fitted sheets herself if she wants. (Please note that this mattress is about 31 cm or about 12 1/4" thick). At first I thought the bed would be too firm relative to the Peace Lily latex mattress we had been sleeping on previously but it turned out that it was pretty much perfect for both myself and my wife. I sleep quite well and my wife finds the bed not only cozy but very well made. When I turn over I don't disturb my wife and vice versa. I did not detect any outgassing although we did allow it to air out for several hours before laying on it.

Bed maintains shape, does not sag, and even sitting on edge of bed one feels well supported..

My daughter is envious and my wife and I are most pleased with the outcome.

Poor experience with Sleep Republic. Disorganised and stressful. I initially ordered the Luxe mattress, which turned out to be extremely soft and did not provide enough support for me. I then purchased the ES mattress. Sleep Republic marked it as “delivered” when it had not actually been delivered. Because their system said it had been… Read more

delivered, I spent around 40 minutes walking around my neighbourhood trying to find a mattress that was never there. It was incredibly stressful trying to work out where such a large and expensive item could have been left, only to discover that it had never been delivered in the first place.

Today, I stayed home all day specifically to receive the ES mattress. The delivery finally arrived, and they delivered a Luxe mattress instead, which I did not even order.

I then had the additional stress of trying to organise the collection of the incorrect mattress they had delivered.

What makes the whole experience worse is that Sleep Republic seems to have very little control over the delivery process.

I have already wasted a significant amount of time dealing with problems that were entirely on their side.

Disorganised and frustrating experience.

Additionally, only after purchasing the ES did I notice that the Luxe mattress had also started pilling and was covered in little fabric balls, despite always being used with a mattress protector. This was extremely disappointing considering the price and how little it had been used.

I'll admit I was hesitant to spend this much on a mattress. It felt like a big investment for something I couldn't "try" properly beforehand. But the 6-month trial period was what convinced me to finally take the leap. Five months later, I can honestly say it's been money well spent. My sleep quality has improved so much. I fall asleep faster,… Read more

wake up less during the night, and actually feel rested in the morning.

My advice, just go for it as the trial period takes away all the risk, and for me it completely paid off.

The ordering process was quick and easy, and I’m really happy with the mattress. It’s comfortable, supportive, and has been great to sleep on. So far, it’s maintained its shape and firmness well, with no noticeable sagging. Overall, it’s been a great purchase. Show details ·  1

Fast & reliable delivery. Easy to open and set up! Very comfortable, firm enough to support our backs but with softness for comfort too. Great when rolling over there is hardly any bounce on the otherside of the mattress! Very impressed with this as my first mattress in a box purchase! Highly recommend! Show details ·  1

Great mattress! As a long time side sleeper and back pain sufferer I can get pretty stressed about buying a new mattress. The sleep republic mattress is firm and supportive without being too hard, I can sleep on my side all night without my hips getting sore. Great service and quick delivery. Would highly recommend :) Show details ·  1

Mattress is great. Previous mattress was Snooze own brand madison time square. They still sell it but they don't advertise number of springs, thickness of foam layers, number of layers or show a cross-section. It was great for 11.5 years but woke up in pain every day for 4 months and eventually would feel pain immediately upon lying down. Bought… Read more ·  1

originally on super discount with family friend staff discount ie 66% off full retail.

Sleep Republic reviews are amazing, score on Product Review is amazing and score and review on Bed Buyer website is great.

Arrived quickly, been great since day one.

Springs feel very firm... but are medium firm officially... very firm in the sense they are supportive and feel like they cradle and push back. Smaller springs that are thicker means they should last longer and my weight is spread over more springs so each one will have an easier life.

Sleep Republic have gone all in on the spring quality with basic but tried and trusted foam layers.

Google the origins of the company- ​"Origin and History ​Founding and Experience: The company was founded by mattress industry veterans, including founder Mark Ottley, who has decades (stated as over 30 years in some sources, and over 20 in others) of experience in designing, manufacturing, and selling mattresses.

​Motivation: Ottley noticed the confusion and lack of honesty for consumers when buying mattresses, with many models being difficult to compare. He set out to create a simplified, high-quality product based on customer needs—medium-firm support, temperature regulation, and premium materials—and deliver it directly to the customer as a "mattress in a box." "​In summary, Sleep Republic's history is about moving away from confusing traditional mattress retail to offer a direct-to-consumer, scientifically-backed, and quality-focused hybrid mattress based on the decades of knowledge of its founders.

At time of review full retail price of my old madison time square king size from Snooze is $6799, Sleep Republic mattress paid $1400 with delivery included.

We bought 2 long singles (mattress and base) to join as a split king and only wish we had done it sooner. Apparently I am an Olympic body slammer when I roll over in my sleep and constantly wake my partner. No more! And no more sleeping on the couch when we both know we need a great nights sleep. This is a great solution. The mattress is… Read more ·  1

incredibly comfortable, we both felt the comfort factor on night one. Also having had a previous 'box' mattress, the fact that this one is hybrid with spring and memory foam, unlike our last one which was all foam, the breathability helps make this a much more temperature comfortable sleep. Every morning and night we register how grateful we are for this upgrade. It is firm but giving to softness on the top and our sleep is restful. Super happy with the whole experience from order to delivery to great sleeps!

This is an amazing mattress. Best decision I have made to invest in this mattress.. feels firm and soft at the same time. Not very firm and not very soft perfect balance of both. I have been searching for a good mattress over years. Being in my early 30’s I have a back pain issue and this mattress is perfect for me specially as side sleeper. I wake up on bed with no more soreness. Love it Show details ·  1

Coolest mattress so far – We have tried Eva, few versions of Koala mattresses and now Sleep Republic. Sleep republic is easily the coolest so far. The springs make it more airy and helps with better ventilation in my opinion. The mattress felt form the first day, but it eventually got softer and now it's medium firm which is perfect for us. I'd definitely recommend. Show details

 Follow-up  · Got too hot in summer. It's cool at the start but the memory foam retains heat. I ended up going back to basic spring mattress.

I have been using the Sleep Republic LUXE mattress for about 7 months. Initially I purchased the Standard mattress, but I found it a bit hard on my shoulders when sleeping on the side, so I upgraded to the slightly softer LUXE mattress. The LUXE mattress is prefect, nice plush topper with excellent support and very good edge support. The cooling… Read more ·  1

technology is pretty good, I am far less likely to wake up in a sweat if my covers are too warm (I am a hot sleeper). My sleep has improved considerably since purchasing this mattress. The only negative I would say is that the material on the LUXE is very frictionless (unlike the Standard mattress), so my mattress protector slides very easily and can bunch up together. I found adding a percale cotton sheet under the mattress protector stops my mattress protector from sliding easily.

My experience with this company: i found them to be very untruthful and staff are intentionally dishonest. If you try to return the mattress within the allowable time , be prepared to be ignored and lied to. They have been extremely rude, unassisting, dishonest, evading and unkind to me. They are super quick to take your money but they will do… Read more

everything in their power not to refund it. I have felt bullied and ignored every step of the way. I have never ever left a negative review however im absolutely appalled how horrible this company has been to me. Be very mindful before purchasing from this company. They do not adhere to their customers confidentiality . They emailed me a screenshot of customers phones numbers, email addresses and location. They certainly dont pride themselves on protecting customer information. After 3 weeks of trying to get my entitled refund with no success I asked to speak with the manager. The manager does not take or make calls. I have sent several emails which are unanswered. They ignore you. I have dropped the mattress myself to a charity store and told them I have no mattress and if they could process my refund immediately, they laughed and told me it will take up to 10 business days. They lack compassion and empathy . I also shared with them that i am chronically unwell and they have not made any provision to help me make this process less stressful . My advice buy elsewhere if you can because if for any reason you want to return your item they will make the process extremely difficult. The "customer service " team are extremely rude, dishonest, unhelpful, ignorant, unwilling and arrogant. The mattress itself, for me, was very uncomfortable. It felt like i was sleeping on a concrete floor .

This is my experience with this company. I bought a hybrid mattress (50Kg+) in 2020, two years later, I began to have issues with my back (I am under 70Kg in weight), the area of the mattress with the most weight (where the butt lies) was compressed. I started the warranty claim process, which was tedious. I had to demonstrate that I wasn't trying… Read more

to scam the company, and it led me to write a strong review about the customer service. I had to demonstrate that the mattress failed (photos, videos, weights over the different areas to see the weak ones, after many messages with the evidence, they finally agreed to send me a new one under warranty in 2022, I erase the bad review.. In 2024 I began again to have troubles with my back and this 2026 it made crisis. I wrote to the company again and, since I could not remember all this process (I am 81), I gave them the present address, which does not correspond with the first delivery or the replacement. Unfortunately, when you rent, most likely after a few years the landlord sells and you have to vacate. The fact of the matter is that after that last email I sent, I was completely ignored, so my only tool is this review to warn others. For me it is absolutely obvious that I received a non-advertised "seconds" the first time, hence the offer, and as usually happens, when you claim in warranty, most of the time you receive a "seconds".

I have been using the mattress for three months now. The mattress is quite high and sturdy, which is good. However it is not as firm as I thought it would be. Make sure to rotate the mattress every couple of weeks to keep the shape. The website said this is only for the first month, and afterwards we need to rotate it once a month. However, I… Read more

Sleep republic mattresses are so good that almost 8 years in and our king mattress is still going strong. No dips. Not too hot. So comfortable. No hip pain like other mattresses. I also have a back injury and it is so supportive. Just bought a new queen mattress for my son. Customer service to clear up an order error that I made was exceptional.
