If you’ve ever propped up your pillow to read or watch TV from the comfort of your bed, or used cushions to elevate your feet while sleeping, you may benefit from the flexibility and support that an adjustable bed base and mattress provides.

Once used exclusively in healthcare, adjustable bed bases have become highly popular in homes across Australia – valued for their ability to combine comfort and wellness while alleviating back pain, circulatory issues, and digestive complaints.

There are no shortage of quality adjustable bed bases on the market, with basic models capable of raising or lowering the feet and head, and advanced models overflowing with features such as pre-set positions, programmable memories, LED nightlights, and more.

Unfortunately, what many people find when they purchase an adjustable bed is that although the manufacturer specialises in cutting edge bed-making technology, they’re certainly not a mattress specialist. Out-of-the-box adjustable bed and mattress combos often leave their purchasers wanting more – be it due to a lack of comfort or that the quality of the mattress simply doesn’t last.

Australia’s largest independent mattress manufacturer, Makin Mattresses, has been creating the most comfortable and highest quality mattresses for more than 45 years. And because they are manufacturers selling direct to the public, customers can try the product before they buy, guaranteeing customer satisfaction.

The way they design, construct the mattresses and the in-store experience is the difference at Makin Mattresses. Attention to detail, quality control, and focus on comfort has made this Aussie company the country’s most well-loved provider of the perfect night’s sleep.

Offering a wide range of mattresses to suit individual needs, the company regularly conducts satisfaction surveys which show that 1 in 2 of their customers has either bought from them before or been recommended by a friend!

The most popular in the range is the premium two-piece, Bellissimo, delivering the perfect balance of comfort and support by providing a five or seven-zone support system that cradles the parts of your body that need it most; thousands of micro-coils provide balanced comfort and support whilst ensuring airflow management, resulting in a cooler more hygienic night’s sleep.

They’re double-sided too as is every mattress manufactured by Makin Mattresses, the pillow top is separate to the support module, allowing flipping, turning and rotating. This results in a longer-lasting more comfortable mattress because you can use both sides of the mattress as your sleep surface over time. Having a single-sided mattress that you can only rotate leaves you creating body impressions, causing the comfort layers to flatten and collapse, a problem resolved by the unique double-sided construction.

Not to forget the 5-year comfort promise on the Bellissimo Micro-Coil range, meaning that if in the first five years of owning your mattress your comfort level changes you can take it back to the store to be changed once. As the manufacturer, we can take your mattress and change it from too firm or too soft for your liking to something in between. This removes the risk of buying a new mattress, not knowing if once you get it home, the comfort won’t be exactly how you imagined.

With the only micro coil machine in Australia, Makin Mattresses have created a unique mattress. The micro-coil technology creates a cooler night sleep, with more effective airflow through the comfort layers. The micro-coils don’t degrade over time like foam. Produced exclusively in the company’s North Brisbane factory the Bellissimo micro coil range is unique and only available at Makin Mattresses Sandgate, in the Hunter Region.

If you have a boat or caravan that requires a custom-sized mattress, the team at Makin Mattresses can alter any of their mattresses to suit the sleep space, right here in Newcastle. The large factory and retail showroom has an expansive carpark enabling customers to drive in with their caravan for a custom fitting.

The team at the Sandgate store work closely with the production team on site and are experts at matching you with the right mattress to suit your comfort needs and budget. Whether you have a last-minute guest coming, a teenager growing out of their bed or it’s time to upgrade to something special Makin Mattresses has a mattress to suit.

Additionally, to complete your new mattress, they have bed bases and bed heads in 3 fashionable colours, bed frames and linen. Makin Mattresses has nine stores Australia-wide and six manufacturing sites. Create your dream sleep with Makin Mattresses in the Hunter – you’ll find the showroom on the corner of Friesian Close and Jersey Avenue in Sandgate.

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.

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.

Sleeping well is literally life-changing. Good sleep is credited with improving mood and memory, boosting immunity, and increasing productivity. But getting to sleep and staying asleep isn’t always so easy to do.
