Firmness Info

Dusk and Dawn provides an array of supports tailored to meet every sleeper's needs. Their Plush support, rated 3-4 on the firmness scale, is supremely soft, offering luxurious comfort while ensuring body support throughout the night. The Comfy Medium support, with a firmness score of 5-6, is widely favored, providing the perfect balance of support and comfort by allowing slight sinkage for the hips and shoulders. For those who prefer a solid foundation, the Firm Support, rated 7-8, offers a firmer base while not compromising on comfort.

Comfort
Pure Australian natural wool comfort. Highly breathable and naturally anti-bacterial and anti dust mite for a fresher and more hygienic sleep. Natural wool has excellent thermo-regulation properties, which keep you warm in winter and cooler in summer. By using locally sourced Australian wool we are supporting our Aussie farmers!
The eco-friendly foam is made from natural materials that help you stay cool all night. This innovative layer wicks moisture away and prevents you from getting too hot. The high-quality cover also supports perfect air circulation. Breathable eco-friendly foam is kind to the environment and your sleep. It wicks away moisture and stops you from overheating. It is also wonderfully bouncy yet features zero partner disturbance technology so you won't feel your sleep partner's movements.
Support
Independently encased Pocket Coil System with 5 targeted zones for better body support and contouring where you need it most. The independent pocket springs also help minimise partner disturbance. With firmer perimeter coils for extra edge support and increased sleeping surface.
Advanced zoning keeps you supported in the areas you need it the most. The three-layered mattress core adapts to any body shape to align your spine thus making it ideal for people who struggle with back pain. These high-quality foams work together perfectly to distribute all pressure evenly across the entire mattress. The 7 zone high resilience foam in the middle or transitional layer distributes pressure perfectly across the mattress and effortlessly adapts specifically to different parts of your body. Guaranteed to keep you comfortable whichever way you sleep. The supportive yet durable point-elastic base foam layer provides essential counter-pressure to comfortably support your lower back and make moving on the mattress a breeze without disturbing your partner.
