100 Night Trial/returns/refunds

We think important relationships shouldn’t be rushed, so we give you up to 100 nights to make sure you love your mattress. If you’re not completely satisfied, let us know within 100 nights and we’ll arrange to collect it free of charge and refund your money. We recommend trying the mattress for at least 14 days because we know that changing mattresses, even from a bad one, takes the body time to get used to – like all new relationships. However if you’re certain the mattress isn’t for you, that’s good enough for us! *Due to COVID-19 and high demand our charity partners mattress pick up services are experiencing delays in some locations. Please see link to our returns page for more details https://sleeprepublic.com.au/free-and-easy-returns-always/

If for any reason, after 14 days and within 100 days of purchase, you are not happy with your Sleep Republic mattress and wish to return it, contact us by email at info@sleeprepublic.com.au and tell us. Also include a photo confirming the condition of the mattress. Mattresses must be undamaged and not marked in order to be returned as charities will not accept these. We will arrange with you to have it collected. Once collected, we will process the refund within 7 days. *Due to COVID-19 and high demand our charity partners mattress pick up services are experiencing delays in some locations. Please see link to our returns page for more details https://sleeprepublic.com.au/free-and-easy-returns-always/

We don’t charge any pickup or transport costs on returns providing your area is serviced by one of our collecting charities. In the event that collection is from an unserviced area, delivery to the nearest charity collection point (or the cost) will be the buyers responsibility. Sometimes we include items like pillows or mattress protectors or sheets as special offers with the purchase. These goods must be returned in order to receive your refund. If your mattress has been bought as a part of a ‘bundled offer’ with items such as sheets and or mattress protector or other items, the discount applicable to that bundle is taken off the mattress price, and that discounted price is the amount that will be refunded if the mattress is returned. Read more about our Free Returns Policy.

Just like at the buffet, where it’s best to try before filling your plate, we want you to be sure you love your mattress before you order big! So we limit returns under the 100 night trial to one item, per order, per household. We recommend, if purchasing more than one of an item, that you purchase one to begin with and if you are happy, to then place a further order for more.

Mattresses returned under the trial are first given grief counselling (just joking!) and then are donated to charity. They are not re-sold by us but sometimes the charities may elect to sell through their op shop outlets to raise funds.

We do not re-sell returned mattresses and arrange wherever possible to donate the mattress to charity. We have used a variety of charities such as Salvos and Lifeline depending on their need and location. If not donated to charity, mattresses are recycled.

Billing & Payments

We accept Credit Cards (Mastercard, Visa & Amex), PayPal, Interest Free Finance – Buy Now Pay Later (Afterpay, Zip, Klarna & Splitit) & Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin & Ethereum).

If you provide us with an Authority to Leave at checkout, our agent can deliver and leave the mattress at your address. Note; this will be at your risk and must be a secure covered area such as the rear of your house or a garage.

Our mattresses are shipped from depots in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Gold Coast. (And they can’t wait to go travelling!)

Our mattress boxes are the following sizes;

Mattress Box size (cm)
Single 35*35*100
King Single 35*35*115
Double 35*35*145
Queen 35*35*157
King 35*35*188
Super King 35*35*211

Like the proverbial Genie, your mattress cannot be put back in the box! (Unless of course, you are unbelievably strong!)

The Mattress

Your Welcome Pack with opening instructions and an opening ‘tool’ is included inside the mattress box. You can remove the blue outer wrapper with a pair of scissors that have a rounded point, so they don’t puncture the inner vacuum bag or damage the mattress . The mattress can then be unrolled just like a very large newspaper. NB exercise caution while unrolling as the mattress can unroll quickly if the inner vacuum bag has been punctured.

Once the mattress has been unrolled and decompressed it will take up to 72 hours to return to its original shape & feel. In some cases the length and width may be up to +- 2.5% shorter or longer after initially opening and may take up to 7 days to return to its original size through use and lying flat on the base.

Our mattress is suitable for solid straight timber slat bases.

The foundation that supports your mattress is a very important element to ensuring the longevity of your mattress as mattresses always follow the foundation that they rest on. For this reason, any curved or flexible type slats are not suitable.

Gaps between slats should not exceed 8cm – 10cm as gaps exceeding 10cm will not provide adequate support to the mattress.

Sprung bases are not suitable.

Below are standard mattress sizes:

Size Height Width Length Approx Weight
Single 31cm 92cm 188cm 35Kg
Long Single 31cm 92cm 203cm 37Kg
King Single 31cm 107cm 203cm 39Kg
Double 31cm 137cm 188cm 43Kg
Queen 31cm 152cm 203cm 49Kg
King 31cm 183cm 203cm 55Kg
Super King 31cm 203cm 203cm 60Kg

Note that it is normal for mattresses to vary slightly in size +/-2.5% due to the flexible materials used.

As well as being designed to be the next best thing for you in your bed, our exclusive High Definition Pocket Spring system has up to 2500 individual pocket springs lovingly supporting you – more then three times the number in other spring mattresses.

Our Cashmere blend fabric has been CSIRO tested in Australia and cleared from presence of harmful chemical substances. Our gel visco memory foam has been vetted and approved by CertiPUR-US®, a US based program that certifies the foam is tested and meets their content, emissions and durability standards. Check out details on their site http://certipur.us

We design the Sleep Republic mattress in Melbourne, based on decades of experience in making and selling over 100,000 mattresses around Australia. Our vetted manufacturers build the mattress to our detailed specifications in China.

Setting up the mattress is extremely simple. You will find a welcome pack inside your mattress box. It’s full of handy stuff like a detailed set of opening and set-up instructions, and also a special opening tool to make setting up the mattress a breeze. You and a friend (or two) should be able to set up your mattress in minutes. The worst part? There can be no replays!

We have channeled all our efforts, expertise, and passion into providing one superb mattress that we believe is the best for you and makes you better in bed!

Some amount of body indentation occurs naturally in all mattresses and is normal because we all tend to sleep in the same area most of the time. See our article on body impression on the blog.

We think a mattress should always be used with a mattress protector. Any stains or marks on the mattress should be removed with careful wiping or dabbing with a damp cloth. Don’t use solvents or chemicals and don’t over wet. Allow the area to dry before covering again.

Because the mattress has been vacuum packed it will have a slight ‘new bed’ odour on opening that will dissipate, while you can sleep on it virtually immediately, we recommend leaving it exposed to circulating air for as long as possible.

You do not need to flip your Sleep Republic mattress. We have designed our mattress as a single sided pillow top with the best quality pocket spring core and pillow top contents. Rotating the mattress, top to bottom, every few months will keep it in top condition.

The mattress is medium/firm feel. Years of customer feedback have told us that this is what the vast majority of people (even years after buying one) are happy with. Despite notions that absolute softness is required for a perfect night’s sleep, we have found time and time again that soft mattresses don’t cut it. The same can be said for those contemplating a very firm mattress. A rock-hard mattress wears surprisingly thin after a few nights.

Our mattress has a carefully designed comfort layer, in this layer is gel infused memory foam designed for temperature stability. Beneath is natural latex with hundreds of ventilation pores to allow for breathability. Added to this, the natural ventilation characteristics of pocket springs and our 3D side panels help avoid heat build up and make a healthy sleep environment We are confident that even hot sleepers will not have any issues with heat build up.
