Natural wool has excellent thermo-regulation properties, which keep you warm in winter and cooler in summer. By using locally sourced Australian wool we are supporting our Aussie farmers!
We've taken tried and proven comfort materials and made them even better, removing common issues such as heat and strong chemical odours. No gimmicky fancy named foams here. Latex is a tried and tested comfort layer material that is durable and responds actively to body pressure. Our pinhole latex is designed to keep you cool.
Support
Independently encased Pocket Coil System with 5 targeted zones for better body support and contouring where you need it most. The independent pocket springs also help minimise partner disturbance. With firmer perimeter coils for extra edge support and increased sleeping surface.
Memory foam provides best in class pressure relief and gives the HappySleep mattress it's reduced partner disturbance qualities. Our high-density support base layer ensures your HappySleep mattress lasts for years to come. The HappySleep is part of new generation of reduced sleep disturbance pressure relieving mattresses. Our top layer is a custom pour pin core hypoallergenic latex pad that provides proven pressure relief and responsiveness. Our middle layer is a specially formulated memory foam layer that distributes body weight evening and is virtually chemical odour free compared to similar products on the market.
