150 Night Trial/returns/refunds
What is the 150-Night Trial?
What is the 150-Night Trial?
We think important relationships shouldn’t be rushed, so we give you up to 150 nights to make sure you love your mattress. If you’re not completely satisfied, let us know within 150 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!
Please Note All returned mattresses must be enclosed in the original plastic bag provided at the time of sale. This is a strict requirement, as our freight companies will not collect or transport mattresses that are not securely sealed in this protective covering. The plastic bag ensures the mattress is kept hygienic, damage-free, and easy to handle during the return process. Customers are responsible for ensuring their mattress is properly repacked before pickup can be arranged.

Are there any costs in returning my mattress under the 150-night trial?
Are there any costs in returning my mattress under the 150-night trial?
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.
Is there a limit to how many mattresses I can return under the 150-night trial?
Is there a limit to how many mattresses I can return under the 150-night trial?
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 150 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.
Where do the returned mattresses go?
Where do the returned mattresses go?
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.

Do you resell returned mattresses?
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.

Mattresses
How do I unpack my Sleep Republic Mattress or Sleep Republic Kids Mattress?
How do I unpack my Sleep Republic Mattress or Sleep Republic Kids 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.
How long does the Sleep Republic mattress take to decompress?
How long does the Sleep Republic mattress take to decompress?
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 14 days to return to its original size through use and lying flat on the base.
What sort of base can I use with my mattress?
What sort of base can I use with my mattress?
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.

How do I set up the mattress?
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!

Will the mattress form a ‘valley’ or body impression?
Will the mattress form a ‘valley’ or body impression?
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.
How long can I leave my mattress in the box?
How long can I leave my mattress in the box?
We recommend opening your mattress within 14 days of delivery.
Mattresses are carefully compressed, rolled, and boxed for convenient shipping, but they’re designed to be unboxed and allowed to expand shortly after arrival. Leaving it boxed for longer than 14 days can affect how well it recovers its full shape and comfort.
Once unboxed, allow 24 – 48 hours for your mattress to expand completely and reach its prime comfort level.
How do I care for my mattress?
How do I care for my mattress?
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.
Is there any odour from the mattress?
Is there any odour from the mattress?
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.
Do I need to flip or rotate my mattress?
Do I need to flip or rotate my mattress?
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, monthly will keep it in top condition.
What is the feel of the mattress?
What is the feel of the mattress?
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.
Does the mattress “sleep hot”?
Does the mattress “sleep hot”?
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.
