Hi Nikki, I’m the owner of ausbeds mentioned in this thread. I just stumbled upon this thread, perhaps a few months too late. I make the aurora in my factory in Sydney, and it’s by far my best seller. I have read the mattress underground since I began in the mattress business 12 years ago.
It was reading these forums that drove me to create the mattress range that I have. One page that changed the way I do things was the springs page on your website. \

I used this page to develop my pocket springs, which was the biggest change in my business. I got into contact with the owner of Berkely ergonomics (who I think wrote the springs guide), and he was able to guide me in the right direction when I started making them myself. These honeycomb-type pocket springs reduced my returns to ridiculously low levels. Also, the ability to customize within the customer’s home has helped immensely.
So thanks for the great website. Websites like this are what the internet was made for, real information to help people. I constantly have people ring me in different cities in Australia asking what to buy in their city. I made a page to help them. I tried to write it based on my experience. Here is the link! I’m not sure if you can put it somewhere to help Aussies looking for mattresses? It’s a work in progress but the info is good.
