Regardless if you’re a sleeping beauty who can feel a single pea while lying under the sheets or a resting beau who needs a bed as firm or as soft as his bod, there is one thing that all of us sleepyheads agree on: A great mattress is a must for a good night’s sleep.
Let’s get real – we all spend a good third of the day lying on our beds, or even more if we have been working/resting more at home these days. And, since how awake we feel in the day is inextricably linked to how well we sleep at night, it makes sense to make sure we have a mattress that’s not only comfy, but also provides proper support for our body so we don’t wake up all achy-breaky.
So, time to put that old, smelly bed of yours to rest and invest in these better mattresses to get you snoozing like the babe that you ought to be. (Also, read up on these tips to help ease you into dreamland faster!)
1. SleepMatics Astra Light Luxury Mattress, from $880
Want to try something that’s lesser known but well-made? Then pick this one from Australian company SleepMatics. Founded by a personal trainer from Adelaide, the brand’s all about providing comfortable sleep with holistic health support.
By support, it means this, the Astra Light mattress that’s made to suit the needs of most sleepers. And, what support it provides: The mattress is put together with its signature combination of 3-zoned pocketed DuraCoil Heat Treated Metal Alloy spring coils, EU Foam and therapeutic-texture, Latex-feel foam.
Topped with an anti-bacteria and anti-mite cover, and lumbar zone-enforced quilting, it’s an equally good (if not better) alternative to those from other popular brands.

4. Haylee Mattress, from $699
A mattress maker that champions its one-and-only product? Then, the mattress must be good. And, since this one is made by an SG-grown company, it’s also good to support local.
About Haylee: A team of experts who “have studied Singapore’s Mattress Market for 10 years, observing over 560,000 mattress viewings by 54,000 mattress buyers and collecting feedback from over 33,000 mattress owners”, and “tested over 100 combinations of materials and layers to find the perfect middle ground matttress for Singapore”. Meaning, these peeps know all about sleep for us SG folk.
So, what about the mattress? It’s got the so-called ideal 6/10 firmness, and is designed with its proprietary Haylee AeroFlo Foam that has AeroFlo perforated vents that help with air flow and circulation. Added on is a layer of its Haylee Cool Gel Memory Foam that aids in further reducing temperatures and minimising motion transfer, while also giving you support that’s at once gentle and firm.
Still unsure? Best to pick one (from 4 available sizes) and try with the company’s 100-Night Sleep Trail option to see if it’s a “Hey, Hi!” or “Buy, Bye!” to a Haylee mattress.
