Bamboo-covered comfort — breathable, moisture-wicking cover fabric.
Choosing the Right Bamboo Mattress
The bamboo cover is what people come for, but it's worth understanding the whole mattress so you choose well. Underneath the cover is a gel-infused memory foam comfort layer on a pocket-spring base — that's what delivers the contour and support.
The bamboo cover is what sits against you: cool, breathable and moisture-wicking. This guide covers what bamboo genuinely does, who the range suits, and where it isn't the right pick.
What the bamboo cover actually does
- Breathable and moisture-wicking: bamboo fibre moves heat and moisture away from the surface, so the bed feels cooler and drier — the genuine, physical reason it suits a humid Queensland climate.
- Temperature-regulating: it helps even out surface temperature through the night rather than building up heat the way a denser cover can.
- Soft, natural hand-feel: bamboo fabric has a smooth, soft surface many people prefer against the skin.
- A renewable fibre: bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants there is, which makes the cover a more sustainable choice than many synthetic alternatives.
What's underneath
The feel and support come from the build below the cover: a gel-infused memory foam comfort layer for contour and pressure relief, on a pocket-spring base for support and airflow. So a bamboo mattress sleeps cool on two fronts — the bamboo cover on top, and a ventilating spring base below — which is about as well as a contouring mattress handles heat.
Who a bamboo mattress suits best
- Hot, humid sleepers who want a premium bed: the cooling cover plus a ventilating gel-memory-foam build is the most heat-considered combination we offer.
- People who want contour with a natural-fibre surface: gel memory foam pressure relief, finished with a soft, breathable bamboo cover rather than synthetic.
- Master bedrooms: the range is Queen and up, so it's pitched at main beds rather than guest or kids' rooms.
…and who might prefer a different option
Honest steer on two fronts. First, price: this is the premium end of our range. If you want gel-cooling memory foam for less, the memory foam range has cooler gel options at lower entry prices.
Second, size: bamboo is Queen, King and Super King only — for a single, king single or double, the memory foam range covers gel-cooling builds in every size. And if you want a firm, non-contouring feel rather than memory-foam contour, a firm or Bonnell spring mattress is the better direction.
Firmness
Because the comfort layer is gel memory foam, a bamboo mattress contours and sits in the plush-to-medium band. Let your sleeping position decide: on your side, a softer feel lets the shoulder and hip settle in; on your back or front, firmer support holds you level.
- PlushDeeper gel-memory-foam contour with the bamboo cover on top — suits side sleepers. See our soft & plush range.
- MediumBalanced contour and support — the broadest-appeal feel. See medium firm.
- Firmer feel?For a firm, supportive surface rather than memory-foam contour, see firm or extra firm.
Available sizes
The bamboo range is deliberately focused on the larger sizes — it's a premium, main-bed mattress:
- Queen — the standard couples size and the entry point to the bamboo range.
- King — more width per sleeper for couples who want extra room.
- Super king — the largest standard size for big master bedrooms.
Why buy your bamboo mattress from A2Z
The A2Z Furniture is a family-run Australian business established in 2013. Bamboo is a premium spend and the cooling difference is something you really only judge by feel, so trying it before you commit matters: instead of guessing from a screen and waiting out a trial period, you lie on the actual mattress first, across five South-East Queensland showrooms — Rocklea, Virginia, Bundall, North Ipswich and Beenleigh.
Direct from our warehouse, not marked up
Because the mattresses come in direct to our Brisbane warehouse, you're not paying a shopfront markup on top — bamboo costs more because the build does, not because of margin. Stock is held with pick-up seven days a week, plus Free Local Delivery on eligible orders from Rocklea.

Bamboo Mattress FAQs
What is a bamboo mattress?
At A2Z it's a mattress finished with a breathable bamboo-fabric cover, over a gel-infused memory foam comfort layer and a pocket-spring base. "Bamboo" refers to the cover; the contour and support come from the gel memory foam and springs underneath.
Does a bamboo mattress actually sleep cooler?
It's built to. Bamboo fibre is breathable and moisture-wicking, so it moves heat and moisture away from the surface, and underneath it the gel memory foam and ventilating pocket-spring base also help it run cool. For a contouring mattress, it's about the most heat-considered combination we offer — a real advantage on a humid Queensland night.
What sizes does the bamboo range come in?
Queen, King and Super King only — it's a premium, main-bed range. For a single, king single or double with similar gel-cooling, see the memory foam range, which covers every size.
How is it different from a regular memory foam mattress?
The build is similar — gel memory foam on a pocket-spring base. The difference is the bamboo cover, which adds breathability and a natural-fibre surface, and the premium positioning. If the cover and the larger sizes matter to you, choose bamboo; if value or a smaller size matters more, the memory foam range is the better route.
How much does a bamboo mattress cost at A2Z?
It's the premium end of the range, with Queen starting from around $699 and rising for King and Super King. The product grid above shows current pricing. Interest-free payment is available through Afterpay, Zip, Latitude, Klarna and PayPal.
Is bamboo an eco-friendly choice?
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants there is, so a bamboo cover is generally a more renewable choice than many synthetic fabrics. We'd describe it as a more sustainable cover material rather than make broader environmental claims.
Do you deliver bamboo mattresses, or can I pick one up?
Both. Stock is held in our Brisbane (Rocklea) warehouse with pick-up seven days a week, and Free Local Delivery is available on eligible orders from Rocklea — see our delivery details.
