In short: A.H. Beard is a 5th-generation Australian family business that has been crafting mattresses since 1899. They manufacture two of the most respected mattress collections in Australia - King Koil (the only mattress collection in Australia recommended by the International Chiropractors Association) and Domino (the Official Mattress Partner of the Australian Institute of Sport). Both are made in Padstow, Sydney, and both are available at our three Best in Beds showrooms with free delivery to Greater Sydney and the Illawarra.

Why we put A.H. Beard on our showroom floor

When you've sold mattresses for as long as we have, you stop being impressed by marketing claims and start looking for evidence. A.H. Beard ticks the boxes that actually matter - long-term durability, consistent build quality across thousands of mattresses, and a sales-after-the-sale relationship that means we can stand behind every bed we send out.

Three things make A.H. Beard genuinely different from the imported and DTC alternatives flooding the Australian market:

1. Made in Australia, in Padstow Sydney. Not "designed in Australia, assembled offshore" - actually manufactured here, by Australians, in a facility that has been running since 1899. A.H. Beard employs more than 450 people across Australia and New Zealand and proudly manufactures in every Australian state.
2. The only "whole-of-mattress" Sensitive Choice approval in Australia. A.H. Beard is the only bedding manufacturer with full whole-of-mattress approval from the National Asthma Council of Australia. That means every layer - cover, fillings, foams, springs - has been independently assessed for asthma and allergy safety. Read our guide for asthma & allergy sufferers.
3. Two heroes, one factory. King Koil for chiropractor-recommended support. Domino for athlete-grade comfort and recovery. Both built on the same heritage and warranty backbone.

King Koil - the only ICA-approved mattress collection in Australia

A.H. Beard introduced King Koil to Australia in 1980 as the first chiropractic-approved mattress collection in the country. More than 45 years later, King Koil remains the only Australian mattress collection recommended by the International Chiropractors Association (ICA).

Every King Koil mattress is built on the Reflex Support System - individually-pocketed coils that adapt to body weight, shape and sleeping position. ICA approval reflects decades of collaboration with chiropractors to uphold high standards for support, comfort and pressure relief.

Domino - the Official Mattress Partner of the Australian Institute of Sport

Domino is A.H. Beard's high-performance Premium Sleep collection - trusted by athletes at the Australian Institute of Sport and built around the Conforma Coil pocket-spring support system. The philosophy is simple: tomorrow's performance starts with tonight's sleep.

If you train hard, work physical hours, or just want a mattress engineered for recovery, Domino is the range to try first. Two ranges, three firmnesses each, with the same Sensitive Choice approval and 10-year guarantee as every A.H. Beard mattress.

What 125 years of mattress-making actually means

A.H. Beard was founded in 1899 by Albert Henry Beard. Five generations of the Beard family have run the business since - they're now Australia's longest continuously-operating bedmaker. Some practical things that come from that kind of heritage:

• Materials sourced and built for the Australian climate. Australian summers are hot. A.H. Beard's AeroComfort technology (AeroQuilt, AeroFoam+, AeroWeb) is built specifically to keep airflow moving through the mattress - something imported mattresses from cooler climates often don't get right.
• A real 10-year guarantee, backed locally. If something goes wrong with an A.H. Beard mattress in year 7, the warranty is honoured by an Australian manufacturer with Australian customer service. No offshore call centres. No "the brand has changed hands" excuses.
• Independent test data. A.H. Beard mattresses are independently tested against Australian Standards for support, durability and emissions - and rated by the National Asthma Council, GECA equivalents, and the Australian Bedding Stewardship Council.
• End-of-life recycling. Through the Soft Landing partnership, A.H. Beard diverts old mattresses from landfill. When your new A.H. Beard mattress arrives, the old one can be collected and recycled responsibly.

The Six Essentials of Premium Sleep

A.H. Beard distils 125 years of bedmaking into what they call the Six Essentials of Premium Sleep. Every King Koil and every Domino mattress is built around these six principles:

1. It just feels right - stretch knit fabrics and sumptuous comfort layers that create an immediate sense of "yes, this is the one."
2. All-over comfort - AeroComfort layers cradle the natural curves of your body so weight is distributed evenly.
3. All-night support - the Reflex Support System (King Koil) or Conforma Coil (Domino) keeps your spine in neutral alignment from the moment you lie down until you wake up.
4. A healthy sleep environment - Sensitive Choice blue butterfly approval on every A.H. Beard mattress means long-term protection against dust mites, allergens, mould and bacteria.
5. Don't be disturbed - individually-pocketed springs reduce motion transfer so you're not woken by a restless partner.
6. Temperature regulating - AeroQuilt, AeroWeb, and AeroFoam+ technology disperses heat and encourages airflow through the night.
