The time has come to replace our mattress... it's had quite the journey. Does anyone have any recs? Are box mattresses still all the rage? Considering going to Sleeping Duck for a looksee.

I have a foam box mattress, can’t remember which brand but it’s about 6y old and I find it comfortable. Have previously had sprung mattresses and I find the foam just as comfortable. (Disclaimer- I don’t have back issues so I didn’t have any specific needs). One thing to note, it was a bit smelly initially as the foam degassed, so maybe plan to set it up on a day you can leave the windows open all day so it can air out.

I got a koala then got a topper for it cos my hips still hurt. I should've bought the better mattress with the built in topper. I got the 2nd cheapest of the four koala options. FWIW I am now happy with it. I bought new sheets too, I've got a voucher for $40 off canningvale I'm not planning to use if you want it. I got their sereno linen/cotton blend.

I have an ecosa box mattress and I really like it. You can trial it for a fair while as well.

I don't know if they're still a company or what, but I have a bed frame and mattress (and couch) from Koala. Has lasted a solid 5ish years now.

Bed frame has no bolts or screws, it just pieces together, and the mattress is still lovely to sleep on.

Disclaimer: I did spend a few years before getting the bed frame and mattress on a rotation of airbeds and swags, so take my recc with a grain of salt lol
