The Ava Mattress &
Bed Base with Drawers
Made Right Here.
Premium pocket springs, eco Dreamfoam, and smart underbed storage — all crafted in our Manukau factory, Auckland. This is what sleeping well, and buying local, looks like.
In a world of flat-pack imports and overnight shipping from overseas, the Ava mattress range stands apart — built by hand in our Manukau factory, right here in South Auckland, for New Zealand bodies and New Zealand homes.
Proudly Made Right Here in Auckland
Every Ava mattress and bed base that leaves Online8 is manufactured in our Manukau factory — not shipped from overseas, not assembled from imported flat packs. Local craftspeople, local materials, and a level of quality control that only comes from making something yourself.
When you buy an Ava, you're supporting New Zealand manufacturing, reducing the environmental footprint of long-haul freight, and getting a product built specifically for the conditions of life here — the climate, the homes, and the way we sleep.
The Ava Mattress Range — What's Inside?
The Ava range is built around one core belief: that a great night's sleep shouldn't require a compromise between comfort and support. Here's what goes into every Ava mattress:
5-Zone Pocket Spring System
At the heart of every Ava is a 5-zone pocket spring system that actively responds to your body shape — delivering targeted support to your shoulders, hips, and lumbar region where you need it most.
Eco Dreamfoam Technology
NZ-made environmentally friendly Dreamfoam comfort layers deliver a cushioning feel while being more hygienic than conventional foam. Breathable and better for the planet.
Dry-Tech Fabric
The Ava's quilting fabric actively draws perspiration away from your body — keeping you at your optimal sleeping temperature through Auckland's humid summers and cool winters alike.
Zero Partner Disturbance
Each pocket spring moves independently, meaning your partner's movement stays on their side. The Ava creates almost zero partner disturbance — a genuine game-changer for light sleepers.
Spinal Alignment
The Ava is engineered to keep your spine in proper alignment through the night — allowing your muscles and ligaments to fully relax and recover while you sleep.
Durable & Long-Lasting
Built to last. The Ava mattress comes with a manufacturer's warranty, and the robust construction means it holds its shape and support for years of nightly use.
The 5-Zone Pocket Spring System
Each zone responds independently to body weight and movement for personalised support.
"A mattress made in New Zealand, for New Zealand — built to the standard that only comes from caring about where and how something is made."

The NZ Made Bed Base with Drawers
A great mattress deserves a great base. Our NZ-made bed base with drawers is built in the same Manukau factory as the Ava mattress — and it's one of the smartest bedroom investments you can make.
Built for New Zealand Homes
The drawer base is crafted from solid New Zealand Pine — one of the strongest, most sustainable timber choices available locally. It arrives fully assembled — no flat-pack frustration, no allen keys, no missing bolts.
The underbed drawers add significant storage to any bedroom — particularly valuable in Auckland's smaller homes and apartments where space is precious. Instead of buying a separate chest of drawers, the storage comes built into your bed itself.

Why Buy NZ Made?
In an age of globalised manufacturing, choosing a locally made product has never mattered more. Here's why the Ava's New Zealand origins make a genuine difference:
Quality you can verify
When a product is made locally, you can visit the showroom, meet the team, and ask questions about how it's built. There's accountability in local manufacturing that overseas imports simply cannot offer.
Faster delivery and better support
No waiting months for a container to arrive from overseas. No complicated international warranty claims. Our Manukau-made products are available now, delivered fast, and supported by a team right here in Auckland.
Better for the environment
Shorter supply chains mean significantly lower carbon emissions. Using New Zealand Pine — a fast-growing, renewable resource — further reduces the environmental footprint of every base we build.
Supporting Kiwi jobs
Every Ava mattress and bed base you purchase supports employment in South Auckland. It's a small choice that adds up to something meaningful for our community.
