Quick Verdict
Ecosa’s adjustable firmness is the real deal — you physically rearrange 3 foam layers to switch between medium, firm, and firm-plus. It’s a genuine advantage for anyone who doesn’t know what firmness they want or wants to experiment. Add the 15-year warranty (longest tier in AU), B-Corp carbon neutral certification, waterproof inner cover, and CHOICE #1 Brand 2025 recognition, and you have one of the most complete packages in the market. The main drawback? It’s all-foam — so if you want springs, edge support, or a very soft feel, look elsewhere.
BEST FOR: Indecisive buyers, people who want adjustable firmness, eco-conscious shoppers, side sleepers SKIP IF: You want a very soft mattress, you need strong edge support, you weigh over 110kg, you want springs

Who Is Ecosa?
Ecosa is an Australian mattress company founded in 2015 in Melbourne. They’ve built one of the strongest reputations in the Australian market — winning CHOICE #1 Mattress Brand 2025, holding 18,000+ reviews with a 4.6/5 average, and becoming Australia’s first B-Corp certified mattress brand (carbon neutral operations). They currently offer the Ecosa Mattress (all-foam, adjustable firmness), the Ecosa Pure (hybrid), plus pillows, bed frames, sofa beds, and bedding. This review covers the flagship Ecosa Mattress.
Construction
What’s Inside the Ecosa Mattress?
Ergonomic Pincore Latex Layer
Natural latex with ventilation pinholes for airflow. This is the firmness adjustment layer — by placing it on top, middle, or bottom, you change the overall feel. Latex is naturally hypoallergenic and more durable than standard foam.
G-7 Gel Memory Foam
Gel-infused memory foam designed to regulate temperature. Provides pressure relief and body contouring. CertiPUR-US certified — no harmful chemicals or off-gassing concerns.
Ergonomic Support Foam
High-density base foam providing the structural support. This layer stays in place regardless of firmness setting. Zoned design with firmer support under the lumbar area.
Waterproof Inner Cover
A unique feature — Ecosa includes a waterproof membrane built into the mattress. Protects against spills, sweat, and allergens without needing a separate mattress protector. The outer cover is removable and washable.
Feel & Comfort
How Does It Feel?
Ecosa’s firmness depends on how you arrange the 3 foam layers. Setting 1 (Medium ~5.5/10): Latex on top — softest option, good for side sleepers who want pressure relief. Setting 2 (Medium-Firm ~6.5/10): Memory foam on top — balanced feel, good for most people. Setting 3 (Firm ~7.5/10): Support foam closest to surface — firmest option, good for back and stomach sleepers. The adjustment process takes about 10 minutes — unzip the cover, rearrange the layers, zip back up.
For back sleepers: Very good on Setting 2 or 3. For side sleepers: Best on Setting 1 — adequate hip and shoulder relief. For stomach sleepers: Good on Setting 3. For couples: Good motion isolation, but you can’t have different firmness on each side (unlike Sleeping Duck). One important note: all 3 settings lean toward the firmer side — if you want a genuinely plush, soft mattress, Ecosa won’t deliver that.
✕ All settings lean firm — no true “soft” ✕ All-foam — no springs, weaker edge support ✕ Some heat retention reports ✕ Can’t split firmness for couples (each side) ✕ 100-night trial (Emma/Sleep Republic offer 150) ✕ Returns can be slow depending on charity pickup
Head to Head
How Ecosa Compares
Ecosa vs Koala
Adjustability showdown
Both offer adjustable firmness but Ecosa has 3 settings vs Koala’s 2 (flippable layer). Ecosa has a 15-year warranty vs Koala’s 10. Koala has faster delivery (4hr metro) and is slightly more expensive ($1,249 vs $1,170). Ecosa is B-Corp certified; Koala focuses on eco-friendly materials.
Choose Ecosa if: You want more firmness options and the longest warranty. Choose Koala if: You want faster delivery and stronger brand recognition.
Ecosa’s strength is adjustable firmness and warranty length. Emma’s strength is cooling technology (Aerofoam) and a longer trial (150 vs 100 nights). Ecosa costs slightly more ($1,170 vs $1,029 Queen). Both are all-foam. Emma sleeps cooler; Ecosa is more versatile.
Choose Ecosa if: You want adjustable firmness and a 15-year warranty. Choose Emma if: Cooling is your top priority and budget matters.
Both offer adjustable firmness via rearrangeable layers. OneBed is cheaper (~$840 vs $1,170) and also has a 15-year warranty. Ecosa has CHOICE recognition, B-Corp certification, and a built-in waterproof cover that OneBed lacks. OneBed is the better pure budget pick.
Choose Ecosa if: You want premium features, CHOICE backing, and eco credentials. Choose OneBed if: Budget is your primary concern.
Fundamentally different mattresses. Ecosa is all-foam with adjustable firmness. Sleep Republic is a hybrid with 1,850 pocket springs, better edge support, and Spinal Foundation endorsement. Sleep Republic has a longer trial (150 vs 100 nights) at a similar price (~$1,095 vs $1,170). Ecosa has a longer warranty (15 vs 12 years).
Choose Ecosa if: You want adjustable firmness and don’t need springs. Choose Sleep Republic if: You want springs, edge support, and back pain relief.

Ecosa vs Sleep Firm
FIRM SPECIALIST
Ecosa’s three settings exist for buyers who aren’t sure yet, and that is a genuinely useful thing to sell. Adjustability is insurance against picking wrong.
But if you already know a soft mattress leaves your back aching, you don’t need insurance — you need the firm end done properly. Sleep Firm builds one thing and builds it firm, with 150 nights to decide against Ecosa’s 100.
Still buy Ecosa if: you genuinely don’t know what firmness suits you, or two people need to agree. Being able to change your mind at home is worth more than a specialist you might not get on with.
Unzip the outer cover, pull out the 3 foam layers, rearrange them in a different order, zip back up. Takes about 10 minutes. The firmness guide is printed on each layer so you know which arrangement creates which setting. Give each new setting at least 1 week before judging.
Is Ecosa member pricing really free?
Yes — enter your email on ecosa.com.au to unlock 20% off member pricing. No subscription, no fee, no obligation. The discount applies immediately and is available year-round.
Is Ecosa better than Koala?
Different strengths. Ecosa offers more firmness options (3 vs 2) and a longer warranty (15 vs 10 years). Koala offers faster delivery (4hr metro) and slightly better brand recognition. For adjustability, Ecosa wins. For simplicity and speed, Koala wins.
Does Ecosa sleep hot?
Some users report warmth, especially on the memory foam setting. The gel infusion helps but it’s still all-foam — inherently warmer than hybrid mattresses with springs. If cooling is your top priority, Emma is a better choice. For most people, Ecosa is fine.
Is Ecosa good for side sleepers?
Yes — use Setting 1 (latex on top) for the softest feel. The latex provides pressure relief at shoulders and hips. Lighter side sleepers will find it comfortable; heavier side sleepers (90kg+) may want something softer like Emma.
What’s the return process like?
Contact Ecosa after sleeping on it for at least 14 nights. They arrange pickup through the Salvation Army (free in metro areas). The mattress is donated to charity. Refund is processed after collection. Some users report pickup scheduling can take 1-2 weeks depending on charity availability.
