Hand-made by our team of highly skilled craftspeople, every fabric and fibre in an Origins mattress has been carefully selected for its sustainable properties, end-of-life recyclability, and luxurious comfort qualities. The collection features the finest locally sourced wool, organic cotton and Tencel® – a super soft fibre made from the pulp of sustainably grown eucalypts – and the world’s first 100% recyclable pocket spring support system, EvoCoil.

A.H. Beard CEO Tony Pearson participates in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout

June, 2021

As an iconic fourth-generation family business that manufactures sleep solutions across Australia and New Zealand, we intimately know the importance of a good night’s sleep.

Sadly, every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness and don’t get the sleep and security they need.

On June 17 our CEO Tony Pearson participated in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness. In the lead-up he was able to exceed his fundraising goal of $10K to be donated to the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need.

A great accomplishment by our CEO for a worthy cause.

It’s not too late to support this cause and make a huge difference to people who need it most.

Dr. Carmel on Healthy Homes Australia

September, 2020

Healthy Homes Australia is a lively, fun and stylised Australian lifestyle series. Our resident sleep expert Dr. Carmel Harrington joins the crew to speak about how the bedroom environment, particularly your mattress, can affect your quality of sleep.

A healthy sleep environment is crucial for a restful sleep. A.H. Beard mattresses are the only ones approved by the National Asthma Council to carry the Sensitive Choice blue butterfly symbol. That’s because they provide long-term protection against dust mites and their allergens, mould and bacteria, so you can breathe and sleep easy.

Tips for better sleep

This is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on. It was recommended to me by my sister as sleeping on this bed really helped with her back pain. And I can say that it has helped me immensely with my back issues. It is very comfortable and supportive. Highly recommend this mattress

The last bed we had for 12 years – a queen size A.H. Beard was great so we upgraded to a king size and are very happy with the Grand Harmony plush – great that they are made in Australia.
