Your back is for life

Beds for Backs is Australia’s trusted place for back-saving beds. For more than 30 years we’ve been supporting everyday people like you with our pioneering range of ergonomic and adjustable beds. Scientifically backed and NDIS-approved, our range of products will support your body in its optimum posture so that you can rest easy and get a great night’s sleep.

Ergonomic design with you in mind

Ergonomics is not a fad and it’s not an opinion, it’s a science. It means designing something to fit the people who use it. And that’s just what we’ve done with our beds.

We recognise that the shape and weight of your body is the only thing that matters when measuring how well you are supported by your bed. This is even more important if you consider, as we have, that your shape and weight is different along your body.

How can a bed that is perfect for your broad and heavy shoulders also be perfect for your narrow and light waist? Or if you have small and light shoulders but wider hips, how can a normal bed be perfect for both parts of your body? The problem is it can’t, and you shouldn’t have to choose which ache you’ll fix and which you’ll just deal with when your back gets pushed out of alignment overnight.

That’s why our ergonomic beds make all the difference.

Shape the way you sleep

Most beds out there have a static core layer and a choice of a firm, medium or soft layer on the top - like that makes all the difference. But whichever you choose, that top layer can’t change the rigid support that is the same throughout the mattress core.

It’s the core that is the problem for your back, not the firm, medium or soft layer on the top.

It’s only by changing the core through ergonomic design that your natural posture can be supported, not distorted. The result: better alignment, better support and better sleep.

True support for your body

Using ergonomic design, we have engineered our mattresses and bases to account for your body no matter how its shape and weight varies from your shoulders to your hips.

Our innovative designs start with that core layer, varying the materials we use within it so that your natural posture is supported, without compromising one area for another.

You could say ergonomic design is at the core of what we do - no matter which mattress or base you choose from our range, we will provide you with advice for achieving true support for your body.

And that means you get the comfort and sleep that you deserve.

An Australian family business

Beds for Backs is a two-generation family business with more than 30 years of history.

Our founder, Mario Piraino, was a structural engineer who believed he could apply the principles of engineering and ergonomics to beds to deliver more support and a better night’s sleep.

We’re proud to have pioneered ergonomic beds in Australia, and today our beds are still designed and manufactured in our Melbourne factory.

Knowing your bed is made locally, by people who can answer your questions? That’s true comfort.
