From cot mattresses to super king and every size in between, you’ll find the perfect size. There’s even a lightweight range for your caravan and a custom-made range for camper trailers, motor homes or even your boat. With spring in the air, now is a good time to get set to travel and sleep well even on a road trip.

Makin Mattresses’ complete range of mattresses are double-sided, handcrafted and actually designed to be flipped and rotated. This practice is key to doubling the life of your mattress and ensuring an even, comfortable sleeping surface.

The pressure point relief, Pocket support system.

Our Pocket Spring Mattresses reduce partner disturbance for a bounce free sleep. The Pocket Spring support unit is made from individually wrapped coils that work and compress independently.

The modern spring support system comes in a number of zoned support varieties, most commonly the 5 zone support system targeting head/neck, shoulder, back/hips, legs and ankles. This ensures that stronger coils are supporting the heavier areas.

All our mattresses are double sided so you can flip the mattress over giving you new sleep surface, this also gives one side time to recover from nightly compression. Longer lasting comfort for a higher quality sleep.

There’s more to Australian Made than protecting Australian jobs

Beware of cheap imported mattresses.

Australia has a long and proud manufacturing history. It’s a sad day when local manufacturers close their doors and take work overseas.

Aside from loosing Aussie jobs to overseas we must consider the direct affects on the quality of the product and also the methods used to create these products overseas. International manufacturers DO NOT have to comply with the same safety standards as Australia.

There have been reports of chemicals being used that have the potential to be carcinogenic. Now spending eight hours breathing in these chemicals, that doesn’t sound safe.

Additionally, these mattresses are imported in a compressed state. They do not have edge supports. NO edge supports means the side of the mattress will collapse creating a “rolling off” feeling.

Always ASK where the mattress is manufactured. do not fall for the ‘designed’ in Australia story.

Makin Mattresses, is Australian made & made locally. We’ve been manufacturing mattresses for over 40 years, at 6 of our 9 locations our mattresses are made onsite.

When Should You Replace Your Mattress?

When should you replace your mattress? article by Sleep Foundation, March 2022

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of human health. Without quality sleep, our bodies are not able to heal and rejuvenate themselves, and our brains struggle to process emotions and store memories.

One of the biggest factors in getting a good night’s sleep is the comfort of your mattress. There are few other products that can have such a significant effect on our health and happiness. Therefore, it’s important to invest in the best mattress possible, and replace it according to expert guidelines. But when should you replace your mattress?

Under normal conditions, mattresses should be replaced every 6 to 8 years.

Of course, this is a general guideline and not a one-size-fits-all solution. There are various factors that influence when you should replace your mattress.

Generally speaking, you should replace your mattress if one or more of the following apply:

  • It’s 6-8+ years old
  • It’s negatively affecting your sleep
  • It’s noticeably saggy or damaged in certain areas
  • It’s making more noise than usual (noisy springs are common in old innerspring mattresses)
  • You find that you sleep better at hotels, friends’ houses, etc.
  • You notice an increase in allergies and/or asthma
  • You regularly wake up with muscle or joint stiffness

Essentially, you should replace your bed if it’s no longer helping you get restful sleep. There’s no clear-cut way to know for sure whether it’s time for a new bed – but generally speaking, if you’re thinking about a new bed, it’s likely worthwhile to make the investment sooner rather than later.

important sleep

Factors Influencing Mattress Lifespan

A variety of factors influence the longevity of a mattress. A cheap mattress (thinner comfort layers) could degrade much faster than a luxury mattress (higher quality materials used), for example. Some key factors that impact mattress replacement guidelines include:

Mattress Material – The materials used to manufacture your bed greatly influence its durability. Lower-quality innerspring and all-foam mattresses tend to have the shortest lifespans, as they are prone to sagging and body impressions respectively, but not in all cases.

Finally, make sure you’re getting natural latex rather than synthetic latex.

Maintenance & Care – Like any other product, a mattress will last longer if you take good care of it. This means flipping & rotating your mattress regularly and utilizing a mattress protector. See our mattress care guide here.

Sleeper Size & Weight – Your weight, as well as the weight of anyone sharing your bed, also influences the rate at which the mattress will degrade. Heavier sleepers will find that mattresses may sag quicker, while lightweight sleepers will have less of an impact. Similarly, a mattress accommodating a couple will likely wear out sooner than a mattress for a single person.

Children & Pets – If you share your bed with small children, or with animals, it’s likely that you will need to replace your mattress more frequently. In addition to the extra weight, both pets and children are more likely to cause stains and/or damage to the mattress.
