Why Beds Australia Is Redefining Better Sleep, Sustainability and Bedroom Design

A little history

Beds Australia was founded on the belief that sleep is the third pillar of health. Partnering with Australia’s most respected heritage manufacturers, drawing on generations of expertise from AH Beard (1890s), Sealy (1920s) and SleepMaker (1930s). This shared commitment to Australian-made craftsmanship and quality is proudly embodied in their name Beds Australia.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a collaborative approach. Beds Australia is a proud founding member of The Australian Bedding Stewardship Council, a voluntary industry-led initiative that is backed by the Federal Government.

Trends in bedroom furnishings

Timeless bedroom furnishing trends favour softer textures and warmer tones. Whilst style is personal, simplicity with classic lines remains popular. Natural colours and pure linen fabrics are preferred. When purchasing bespoke beds, customers consider practicality to maximise versatility, allowing seasonal refreshes through quilt covers and throws. Appetites are far more creative with stand-alone headboards, including vibrant colours, bold patterns and dimensional textures. Often a focal point, expressed as a piece of art, with the boldest examples extending wall-to-wall or floor-to-ceiling.

New mattress considerations

When purchasing a new mattress, take your time as it's a long-term investment. Consider whether retaining size and existing linen against the opportunity to size up or down. Ensure you have a solid base, which is the essential foundation. Prioritise comfort: firm for tummy and some back sleepers, medium for most side sleepers, and plush for extra pressure relief. Understand the support system: inner springs offer high durability with better airflow, whilst pocket springs reduce partner disturbance with extra contouring for hips and shoulders.

Brand trust and reliability go hand-in-hand. Other factors include temperature regulation, edge support, materials, sensitive choice, and warranty period. Our knowledgeable specialists are available to help you make an informed decision over the phone, via our website or in our incredible showroom.

The importance of sleep

This is a common question and is best answered by the likes of Matthew Walker, a neuroscientist who published the book “Why We Sleep”. Essentially, significant scientific progress in sleep has only occurred in recent years. It’s worth a read and validates many commonsense principles we would intuitively understand. Regularity is absolutely key; waking and sleeping at the same time every day has direct positive biological, cognitive, physical, mental and emotional benefits. Good habits also include regular daily exercise earlier in the day, in addition to a cut-off time for caffeine. Light plays a critical role, firstly through daily exposure to direct morning sunlight and ensuring a dark, cool bedroom that is screen-free.
