Quality mattress, great price, Best service I have had in years
Mattress was made earlier than expected, quality custom built mattress, Australian made. Exceptional communication and service by Brett and team members at Colac and Norlane.
Couldn't fault anything. Great work, can't recommend them enough!

Custom mattress by knowledgeable staff
My wife was sleeping on the floor after a back injury so had to replace our five year old soft latex mattress in a hurry. After visiting three local shops we choose the Sandman in Grovedale where Gerard's product knowledge far exceeded the others. We choose a custom made pocket spring with high quality firm foam topped with an organic cotton filling and cover. This was made and delivered within a week at a price that beat the others and also included delivery and removing the old mattress (one shop wanted over $100 for this!)
Time will tell but after two weeks, this is the most comfortable mattress we have had and being married for nearly 50 years we have had a few.

Perfect service.
We have purchased both a Queen size latex mattress and also a mattress for our caravan from the Norlane store. Very impressed with the service from Brett who was both obliging and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.. absolutely wrapped.

Best mattresses is Geelong !!!
After looking everywhere (lots of hours of shopping and lying on mattresses) me and my husband were very confused. We found the service amazing, I learnt more from the lady serving us than anywhere we had been all day. I was most impressed that there pillowtops had two sides to them (from a previous owner of a one sided mattress that only lasted us 4 years, what a waste of money). Yes there mattresses were firm but we made sure to choose one with a softer comfort layer, it is really firm in the middle bit the pillowtop makes it nice and comfort...Read more
able. I was worried about guarantee (had read a post) but was told all mattresses have 10 year guarantees. They delivered within 3 days, and the delivery was free and they took my old mattress away (this made me very happy, some other store quoted me $80 for delivery). Will definitely be back to get upgrade for my kids in a few years. Easy going, great service, love my new mattress.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
"Buyer Beware" Hugh Waste Of Time And Money
Thought we would also buy local but like most of the other X buyers from The sandman we also found the mattress to be rock hard lumpy ours had an added feature of a large raise section in the middle so lying flat is impossible as you feel like you are rolling out towards the side of the bed the worst mattress we have ever had ... So it begins phone Geelong are met with total disregard to our problem told to return it to colac (twice) were met with very hostile staff who cannot tell us anything they don't know whats going on its not my problem t...Read more
ake it up with her boss I only work here .. So we move on to [name removed] at Geelong he explains that they have never had a complaint but will fix the problem after repeated returns to the colac store (as told by [name removed]) was told again they would remove the spring and replace it well after two mattress rebuilds over 1000klms of driving our mattress is still the same [name removed] DID NOTHING except to string us along nothing was done no proof on any warranty work being done by the sandman company, shifting blame starting at the shop level to the manager then to the owner who personally said no to exchange/refund as the other buyers have noted. The customer service was very disappointing all that was asked was too fix the issue nothing more but the owner and manager were extremely defensive and dismissive I feel that no physical attempt has been made to resolve the lack of quality and workmanship.Similar opinion?

I love my Sandman mattress!
I purchased a Latex Manifold mattress from the Torquay road store a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it. The one they have on the showroom floor is a single sided mattress, but when I mentioned my concerns about being able to flip it over, they were happy to add the pillow top to the other side for a reasonable price. This has made the mattress a bit heavier, but it will last for twice as long!

Better than a King Coil!
Our Chiropractic King Koil felt like wet cement (sunken and we are normal BMI!)after a few years so decided to go back to tried and true Sandman (still using a double and queen in kids guest rooms we have had over 12 years with no sagging). Bought the King Carrera Posture for $599 and decided to top it with woollen underlay to soften it a bit until we get used to the firmness - the Saleslady suggested buying a foam topper for $150 if still too hard but we have not needed to do this. The great thing about this mattress is that you can flip it mo...Read more
re easily and it is locally made - go Geelong! The delivery guys spoke English (!) and after schlepping the mattress all the way up our steep driveway took my sense of humour well when told that I knew nothing about a mattress delivery! Happy to carry the mattress upstairs, after checking their shoes, and taking the old mattress away for free. I like the fact that the prices are what they are and I don't feel ripped off by not waiting for a sale. Staff were friendly in Torquay Rd store. IngridSimilar opinion?

Very happy, highly recommend
Great service and excellent quality at very good prices! I highly recommend Brett at the Norlane store, nothing was ever too much trouble. He knows the products well and was able to recommend the best products to suit our needs... We now sleep like a dream! Cannot recommend Brett and this company highly enough. Totally rate their contour gel pillows too, seems like the perfect combination with our new mattress

Much Like everyone else. Ripped off
The bed i tried in Sandman was not the bed i received. Its hard as a Rock! My partner and i cant even sleep on it together without ending up in pain. We invested a lot of money and now have to sell it for under half of what we paid. The customer service was very disappointing as i wanted to fix the issue and the owner was being extremely defensive and dismissive. Wanted to charge me extra to fix the problem (of a brand new mattress) with no guarentee. This experience was a total waste of time and money. Never again!

It's like we are sleeping on the floor
We got a wrong order, no refund, no exchange was possible. You try in the shop and after 3 weeks you got something totally different. Bad service. Very expensive -$1350 only for the mattress, no discount at all, it comes with no warranty. Always check what is on the receipt, they don't write soft, medium or firm. Don't order anything from them!

I have bought 3 cotton mattresses so far!
I love the fact that Sandman can customise orders for me. I have very severe chemical sensitivities and their all cotton mattresses are the best thing! Even though I believe it wasn't organic cotton - it was so pure it could have been. Also when I apprised them of my issues, they took all care to minimise any chemical exposures to the mattress and made it up to my criteria. I have 3 altogether, and can attest that they last extremely well, with the edges holding their shape. Has lasted 10 years so far and still not worn out. Highly recommended.

Great service and product
I bought a latex mattress (pillow top) at the Geelong store. The staff were very good, honest and very helpful. Although they did not move on price the cost of an equivalent quality mattress elsewhere was much more expensive. i.e. The price did not appear overinflated to make it look good when your given a false discount. I am very happy with the mattress. Its pure latex, very very comfortable, and for me, not hot to sleep on. Overall I would give Sandman 5 stars!!

Unhelpful Customer Service
My mum purchased a single bed memory foam overlay from the Sandman Mattress Factory on Sept 12 for the guest bedroom. Having flown in from Vancouver on the 10th for my father's funeral, I slept on the overlay for 3 nights until it had to be removed from the bed. The chemical odour coming from the overlay permeated the mattress and the bedding. The overlay was aired outside for several days, until the 19th of September when we decided to return it to the store hoping for a refund or an exchange, thinking that there was something wrong with the ...Read more
batch that the overlay had been cut from. The store has refused to deal with this problem in a timely manner, and as of Oct 9 they continue to have possession of both the overlay and my mum's money. Consumer Affairs has been unable to assist in having the store provide the refund or exchange, and we are very disappointed with the way the store has (mis)handled this issue.Similar opinion?

Very Happy
My young daughter and I bought a single-bed mattress for her today and I was very happy with the experience. The shop is spacious and relaxing, and the sales-staff were friendly and knowledgeable. And they helped us to make a choice we were happy with. Importantly, they were friendly to my daughter and they explained to her how to choose a mattress she would be happy with. I was impressed that they talked to her directly, especially given that the mattress was for her. They were happy for us to lie around on the beds and to make a choice in our...Read more
own time, and they easily answered my questions. I didn't shop around and I didn't compare prices, because they were very reasonable anyway. You might want to share my way of thinking, which is that if a bed lasts 10 years, then the weekly-cost of owning the bed is the purchase-price divided by 500 weeks, which is less than a cup of coffee. This is true assuming you have the money up front. And so for me, it was all about the service, the knowledge of the staff, and the assistance in making a suitable choice. Good luck out there in bed-land. Locally made and locally sold. No pressure. Terrific assistance.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Bedding Suite
Purchased new stock, offered floor stock as replacement for the bedsides. Why not new????? My suite was covered in dirty layer of black dust, absolutely disgusting on the white. I was a customer over many many years, but sadley no more sfter all this. Buyer be very aware, they are rather expensive also. This is purely my personal opinion on my recent purchase with them.
They delivered very dirty furniture, with bedsides that have a few issues. Offered floor stock as replacement!!!

Latex mattress
We purchased a queen sized latex mattress from the Sandman mattress factory in Geelong .
From inital enquires via phone and email the information provided was very helpful .
We ended up buying a solid latex gold mattress that is flippable for $1500 . The best price I could find and one of the few that didnt have foam at the bottom to bulk the mattress up .
For an extra $150 they were able to put a 100% organic cotton one side and a wool fabric cover on the other side
They delivered it to my hometown about 80 kms away and took the old ma...Read more

Different strokes for different folks Shelley. Much like other reviews the mattress i ended up with was hard as a rock and not what we tried in the store. Both my partner and i woke up in pain. We tried to contact the owners and they were really unsupportive and hostile. I ended up having to sell the Brand New mattress for a third of the price so i lost almost a $1000. That's a thousand we didn't have but wanted to support local and invest in something good as we just got married and wanted to get something that would serve us a long time. Its simple, if you like a firm mattress you will probably love sandman. If you loved your sons mattress then find out what it is exactly and order that. I think they are Victorian based but may ship to Sydney. My only feedback would be that the mattress we tried in store was much softer than what arrived at our home. A second-hand one is probably a better bet for the money. Maybe try gumtree or ebay? good luck! :)

xpensive French Chateau suite plus mattress l ordered off them. Still to this day years later l am so dissapointed with the sevice l got and how dusty and dirty the suite was delivered to me and also marked. So my $4800 new suite (on sale black butt) that is all Australian made including Australian made mattress came from another local company, with far better service. So l let the $$$ do the talking, so l shopped else where and now my son is going to spend the same amount on exactly the same suite l got .... as he loves the quality and design. See we never went back to your shop and you never got the repeat sales the ones that you make money out of, karma is so good. No reward for your very poor customer service !!!!!
