How do SleepMaker mattresses compare to bed-in-a-box brands?

So, whether you have a sore back, sleep hot or are looking for something more luxurious, SleepMaker has a bed that's made with you in mind. We’re also 100% Australian made and have been operating for over 80 years - so we’d like to think we know a thing or two about how Aussies sleep.

How can I tell if I need a new bed or mattress?
If you’re regularly waking up with back aches and pains or you’ve had your mattress for longer than 10 years, then your bed is either not performing as it should or you’ve changed but your mattress hasn’t.
As we grow older and circumstances change, our bodies need a little more support and legroom. A mattress you got in your 20s might not be the right mattress for you in your 30s when the kids and dog are added to the mix. So, a bigger or firmer mattress might be better suited.
Or, if your mattress is older than 10 years, the foam layers and springs in the bed might not be performing as they should and after 10 years there will be a build-up of dust mites and skin cells. To ensure you get the best support and mitigate the risk of allergens, we recommend replacing your bed every 8-10 years.
Will my mattress get body impressions?
Most likely! It’s natural for your mattress to mould to your body shape across the years of usage. It’s because of all those comfort layers on top! This indentation will be even more noticeable if you’ve got a plush mattress. To reduce dipping, we suggest rotating your mattress every 3 months.
How long is the warranty on SleepMaker beds?
Our Sleepyhead mattress warranties vary per range from 5 years to 10 years. Our bed base warranties range from 2 years to 5 years and 10 years. Whereas, all our headboards come with a simple 5 year warranty.
Where are SleepMaker mattresses made?
SleepMaker mattresses are 100% Australian made across 5 factories in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania.
Do I need to turn my SleepMaker mattress?
To help equalise body impressions and extend your mattress's lifespan, please rotate your mattress every two weeks for the first two months, and then every three months thereafter.
What kind of bed base should I put my mattress on?
It is important to have the right kind of bed base to ensure your mattress is properly supported with enough airflow. Our mattresses are designed to perform best when combined with the matching ensemble base - see our range here. The size of the base should be the same as the size of the mattress as a difference in size can cause sinking. If you’re not buying one of our recommended bases, we suggest avoiding flexi-slat bases as these soften over time and avoid wooden slat bases if there are fewer than 12 slats or if the gaps between slats are more than 8cm apart.
