Proudly Australian Made
In a time when fast-paced production and offshore manufacturing have become standard, there’s something uniquely powerful about products crafted with care—close to home. At A.H. Beard, we proudly uphold over 125 years of Australian-made excellence, where craftsmanship, care, and commitment are stitched into every layer of our brand story.
Why Australian-Made Matters
Australian-made isn’t just a label—it’s a commitment. A commitment to quality, ethical production, and the wellbeing of our local communities. When you choose something made on home soil, you’re backing the skilled hands and passionate hearts of Australians who genuinely care about what they create.
In our world, that means mattresses designed by people who understand the science of sleep, and the role it plays in a healthy, fulfilling life—people with generations of knowledge behind them.
Every A.H. Beard mattress is the result of meticulous design, premium materials, and cutting-edge manufacturing. From regional towns to major cities, we employ hundreds across Australia and New Zealand—fueling local economies, creating skilled careers, and delivering world-class customer care from right here at home.
It’s this nationwide impact and grassroots dedication that make Australian-made more than a mark of origin—it’s a reflection of who we are.
Built on Local Expertise
Our story began in 1899, when Enoch Beard—a migrant from England—arrived in Sydney by boat and noticed something simple, yet profound: people were sleeping without proper bedding. So, he got to work, handcrafting mattresses in a modest workshop. That spark of innovation set the foundation for what would become a household name.
Since then, five generations of the Beard family have carried that vision forward. The knowledge, techniques, and unwavering standards passed down over more than a century live on in every corner of our business. Many of our team members have grown with us for decades, bringing their own expertise to the next chapter of our story.
At A.H. Beard, doing things the right way has always mattered more than doing them quickly. It’s this principle—rooted in family values and a relentless pursuit of excellence—that guides us to this day.
From Local Workshops to Global Bedrooms
Staying true to our Australian foundations hasn’t held us back—it’s propelled us forward.
Today, A.H. Beard mattresses are found not just in homes across Australia and New Zealand, but in luxury hotels, premium resorts, and wellness destinations throughout China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the UAE, and beyond. While our footprint has grown, our identity remains firmly grounded in our local origins.
In many ways, we’re still fulfilling Enoch’s original mission—sharing the power of quality sleep and Australian craftsmanship with the world. Because we believe that premium sleep is a universal need—and a gift that should transcend borders.
And through every milestone, our guiding principles remain: integrity, curiosity, and a lifelong commitment to improving lives through better sleep.
Leading with Innovation and Integrity
To be Australian-made is to be built to a higher standard.
For more than 125 years, A.H. Beard has fused traditional craftsmanship with a pioneering mindset—constantly seeking new ways to deepen our understanding of sleep and help more people wake up feeling their best.
Through collaborations with leading research institutions and the wealth of knowledge passed down through our family and teams, we’ve remained at the forefront of sleep expertise. Our purpose has never changed: to help people live better, by sleeping better.
We’re more than a business—we’re a generational legacy, a national story, and a collective of sleep specialists, craftspeople, and innovators who believe in making a meaningful impact, both at home and abroad.
