My spare room has been through many iterations in the last couple of years: an office, an at-home gym space, and now back to its original intention — a spare bedroom.
I had long decided on a king single to avoid taking up too much space, but perhaps my biggest debate was which mattress to go for.
After browsing endless sites and asking for recommendations from friends and family, Ergoflex was the brand that kept coming out on top.

With an impressive 4.8 product review rating and nearly 10,000 shoppers praising the comfort and design, it’s a clear favourite both here in Australia and the UK.
The model in question? Ergoflex’s 5G Memory Foam Mattress, a medium-firm orthopaedic support that promises eight hours of restful night’s sleep.
The brand says the mattress is proven to help relieve pressure and back pain, so I’ve been sleeping on it for the last two weeks to see for myself.
Here’s how I got on.

The specs and setup
Like most mattress deliveries, the Ergoflex came rolled and packaged securely, and it was easy to roll straight onto the bed base.
Straight off the bat, you can tell it’s crafted from memory foam because it’s just the right amount of supportive and spongy.
While the preference for mattress firmness varies from person to person, I appreciate a medium-firm mattress that still moulds slightly to the body — and the new one does just that.
It’s designed to contour to the body while supporting healthy spinal alignment, helping to reduce stress on the shoulders, hips and lower back.
There are multiple layers, like Tencel and cool-sleep airflow, allowing the model to remain breathable and protected from the elements.
Meaning it’s the kind of mattress that will retain its comfort for years to come.

The rave reviews
Ergoflex has countless rave reviews, and that is what led me to get my hands on the King Single Mattress.
They all say the same thing regarding the comfort and quality — no matter the size.
Many even praise it for easing pain and discomfort when sleeping.
“I had been suffering from back pain for months. I switched to this memory foam based mattress and noticed pain relieve the first night itself! Morning stiffness is gone,” writes one shopper.
Another adds: “The mattress is amazing, so many less aches and pains since I’ve had it”.
For many Aussies, it’s not the first Ergoflex mattress they’ve purchased. Many families have purchased more than one to place in every room in the house.
“We were housesitting a friend’s house and slept on their ergoflex and absolutely loved it.”
“Within a week we had bought our own. Super supportive, instantly comfortable and I can’t feel my partner move around. 10/10 would recommend.”

Is it worth it?
While Ergoflex’s King Single is expensive at full price ($999.99), it’s currently on promotion for spring, with $150 off up for grabs.
Mattresses are often easy to justify the price tag, given you sleep on them every night. Yet while this particular one is for my spare room, the quality makes it worthwhile.
Given that I’ve been searching for the right items for the spare room overhaul, it makes sense to invest in pieces that will actually last.
Plus, it’s a great investment for both your physical and mental health — guaranteed to give you eight hours of blissful sleep every night.
My friends and family are in for a treat when they come to visit and sleep on this mattress.
