Evidence
What we found
- No high-risk raw materials (such as timber and cotton) are recorded in a major share of its range, so the raw-material check doesn't hold it back for Good.
- "Made in Australia" only means the last major stage happened there: under customs and consumer law, materials and parts such as fabric, timber, glass, metal and ceramics can be made elsewhere. It hasn't shown where those earlier stages happen, so where it's made counts towards On Track but not Good. Source
Research notes Sleepeezee makes mattresses in its own factories in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, where Australian award wages apply, and its mattress ranges carry the Australian Made logo, but it also imports bedding from countries it does not name. It says it sources raw materials from around the world but publishes no supplier list, supplier code of conduct or modern slavery statement, and says nothing about where foam, springs, fabric or timber bases come from.
