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.

The top layer of latex foam is soft and responsive whilst the memory foam (second layer) ensures your body contours to its natural alignment. The layers can also be rearranged if you prefer a softer or firmer mattress. The medium-firm, by far the most popular sleep configuration, your Onebed mattress will arrive with the layers automatically arranged in this order. If you prefer a plusher mattress (medium), simply unzip and switch the latex and memory foam layers around for a softer night's sleep. For those who can never quite find a firm enough mattress, unzip and switch the high-density foam to the top for a configuration sure to set you straight.

Ergonomic Handles
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!
Our unique cushioning effect provides zero-motion transfer, meaning all movement stays on the side of the bed where it belongs. You'll enjoy an uninterrupted sleep without being woken by your partner. By using latex as our top layer, Onebed mattresses are designed to draw heat away from the sleep surface. Enjoy the difference of optimised air flow for a cooler, more comfortable night's sleep.
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.
No one likes the feeling of a sinking, lumpy mattress. We’ve ditched the springs but kept the essential cheeky bounce, so you'll enjoy that balanced, springy feel without the quicksand collapse. Springy latex and high-density memory foam come together to create the ideal balance of comfort and support for all body types.
