Two comfort feels. One responsive hybrid mattress.
Choose the feel that suits you without choosing a different mattress. Rua combines a reversible comfort module with an 18cm, 7-zone pocket spring core, giving you a medium gel memory foam surface on one side and a firmer, more responsive latex surface on the other.
To change the feel, simply open the zippered cover and reverse the labelled internal comfort module.
Firmness ratings are indicative. Perceived firmness can vary according to body weight, sleeping position and bed base.

The 2cm gel memory foam surface provides a more contouring, cushioned feel. Choose this side if you prefer a medium mattress surface that responds more gradually to your body.
Latex side: Firm, 7/10
The 2cm latex surface has a firmer, more responsive feel with less sink. Choose this side if you prefer stronger surface support and a little more bounce.
A 3cm mini-spring layer sits between the two comfort surfaces, adding responsive cushioning whichever side you select.
Two spring systems with different roles
Rua combines two spring layers:
· A 3cm mini-spring layer within the reversible comfort module adds responsive cushioning between the latex and memory foam surfaces.
· An 18cm pocket spring core provides the mattress’s principal support.
The main spring system uses different 2.0mm and 2.3mm wire gauges across seven support zones. Because the springs are individually pocketed, they respond independently to pressure and are designed to reduce movement travelling across the mattress.
Reinforced around the edges
A 7cm high-density foam border surrounds the main pocket spring core. This reinforcement helps create a steadier mattress perimeter when sitting or sleeping closer to the edge.
Cool-touch removable cover
Rua is finished with a knitted bamboo-charcoal cool-touch cover designed to create a fresher-feeling sleep surface. A concealed zip allows the cover to be removed for easier care and provides access to the reversible comfort module.
Follow the sewn-in care instructions when cleaning the cover. The latex, memory foam and spring components should not be machine washed.
Rua is compressed and delivered in a box with wheels and a built-in handle to make positioning it easier.
100-night mattress trial
Try Rua at home for up to 100 nights. Tuala recommends allowing at least 30 nights for your body to adjust to a new mattress.
The trial applies to the mattress only and is subject to Tuala’s trial terms. Regional and remote customers remain eligible, although return transportation may not be covered where collection services are unavailable.
10-year limited warranty
Rua is covered by Tuala’s 10-year limited mattress warranty. Full warranty conditions should be reviewed before purchase.
Choose the medium 5/10 gel memory foam side for a gentler, contouring feel, or the firm 7/10 latex side for a more responsive feel.
To change sides, unzip the cover, remove the labelled comfort module, turn it over and place it back with your preferred side facing up. The mattress itself stays in place.
Naturally Cool BambooTech™ Surface
The top layer features eco-friendly BambooTech™ fabric, naturally breathable and moisture-wicking to regulate body temperature throughout the night.
Memory foam and natural latex combine for pressure-relieving comfort, breathable bounce and balanced support.
zip removable cover, easy to wash
The knitted cover contains bamboo-charcoal material and has a soft, cool-touch feel.
When it’s time for a refresh, simply unzip and remove the cover, then wash it according to its care label. Regular washing helps clear accumulated dust and dust-mite allergens from the surface you sleep on.
7-Zone Pocket Spring Support
Rua combines an 18 cm, 7-zone pocket spring core with a reversible comfort module containing gel memory foam, mini springs and latex. The spring core gives the mattress a responsive foundation, while the two surfaces let you choose a medium 5/10 or firm 7/10 feel.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 5 / 5 from 8 reviews.
Just received my Tuala Rua mattress. The lovely delivery gentleman even helped me take the mattress upstairs which I was very impressed with.
The fabric of the mattress has a cool touch and and feels solid. Not sure if it’s placebo when you buy something new but definitely have been sleeping well the last few nights after the swap…
Thanks team Tuala for your prompt service, delivery and great product.
I love it. It feels just right and to know I can adjust the firm/med feels is a bonus. I can move all around and it doesn’t move or bounce. It’s warm and dense and feels like quality.
I have now had 2 weeks on the Tuala Mattress and it has changed my partners and mines sleep. It is the best quality foam mattress almost replicating a spring mattress in its firmness (that is adjustable). Compared to other mattresess in this category it is the most value i have gotten which is felt in its weight and ability to evenly distribute weight making us sleep so much cooler. Recommend to a fee of my family and friends and even better if you live in an apartment it comes with wheels to make moving easier
The design of this hybrid mattress is totally unique - I've never seen anything quite like it. It manages to be firm and supportive and insanely comfortable, thanks to the foam insert. A huge bonus is that it actually stays cool all night long (goodbye sweaty sleep!). Plus, the videos don't lie about the motion isolation - my partner can move around all he wants during the night and I don't feel a thing. Would highly recommend this mattress!
The Rua Hybrid Premium Mattress, sounds like a pretty solid pick if you want something that feels supportive without being too stiff, because it combines a 7 zone spring system with memory foam and latex for a mix of comfort, bounce, and motion isolation. It also has a cool touch cover, a removable washable cover, and a flippable firmness design which is nice if you are picky about feel or just want something a bit more practical day to day. Add in free delivery across Australia and a 100 night trial, and it comes across as a good value hybrid mattress.
