About Us

For the last 85 years our family business has been helping New Zealanders get a good night’s sleep. And during this time, we’ve figured a few things out about the very thing that we spend a third of our lives doing. Sleeping is something we all do, but everyone does it differently – and that’s why we design our beds with you in mind. Whoever you are and however you sleep, we’ve developed a sleep solution to suit every individual. From big to small, hot to cold, and affordable to luxury. Or if you want to ease back pain, stop roll-together, or enjoy a cooler night’s sleep we’ve got a mattress for you. It’s the details that make the difference, and we’ve had generations to perfect them. It’s the lasting tensile of our springs, surfaces that are cool to the touch, and the foam that adjusts to every contour of your body – it’s the thousands of innovations working together that help make the Sleepyhead difference. And that’s the difference that’ll have you drifting off for an amazing sleep.

Sleepyhead is a 100% New Zealand family owned and operated. Originally founded by Sidney Turner, bed making expertise, experience and knowledge has been passed down through 4 generations Turners who’re every bit as committed to making beds in New Zealand, designed for every type of New Zealander as Sidney was 85 years ago. With humble beginnings making mattresses out of a shed in Auckland, Sleepyhead has grown to become Australasia’s largest and most trusted bedding manufacturer. We’re proud to be a member of Family Business New Zealand and committed to providing local jobs to Kiwis who are passionate about making the highest quality products to give you the best possible sleep.

For eleven straight years Kiwis have voted Sleepyhead as New Zealand’s most trusted name in beds. As a family owned business that’s strived to help Kiwis achieve a great night sleep for over 85 years it’s both an honour and is humbling to be recognised. We’re absolutely committed to helping support local jobs, our local community and helping Kiwis get the best bed, no matter what their needs.

Sleepyhead and the New Zealand Chiropractors’ Association have a longstanding partnership, working closely together to help improve the Chiropractic health of Kiwis. Sleepyhead’s Chiropractic and Sanctuary ranges have been designed to help look after your back while you sleep. In fact, Sleepyhead Chiropractic and Sanctuary beds are so good, the New Zealand Chiropractors’ Association have given them their stamp of approval for providing outstanding postural alignment.
Sleepyhead is proud to support the spinal research initiatives of the New Zealand Chiropractors Association. To ensure your purchase helps ongoing spinal research, be sure to register your product warranty and nominate your local Chiropractor.
