Review your last buy on ProductReview.com.au

 AI reviews summary 

Lifely receives polarised feedback, with high praise for product design and value for money contrasted by significant reports of logistical failures and poor post-sale support. While many customers enjoy a seamless experience with fast shipping and easy assembly, a substantial segment of buyers faces extreme delays, stock inaccuracies, and difficulties obtaining refunds.

Pros
Design and Value: Products are frequently praised for being stylish, on-trend, and looking more expensive than their actual price point.
Assembly Experience: Many items include clear instructions and thoughtful additions, such as a provided electric screwdriver or labelled components, making DIY setup straightforward.
Product Accuracy: For successful deliveries, customers report that the furniture and mattresses closely match the online photos and descriptions in terms of colour and quality.
Mattress Comfort: The "Deep Dream" and "Green Tea" mattress ranges are highly rated for comfort and support relative to their affordable cost.
Cons
Fulfillment and Delays: Numerous reports highlight months-long delays for "in-stock" items, with some customers receiving only partial orders or having pre-order dates repeatedly pushed back.
Communication Failures: Customers frequently complain about being "ghosted" by customer service, receiving unhelpful AI-generated responses, or having to chase the company multiple times for updates.
Delivery Logistics: Recurring issues include delivery drivers leaving heavy items at foyers/gates without notice, delivering to incorrect addresses, or failing to provide tracking information.
Refund and Return Friction: There are significant complaints regarding the difficulty of securing a full refund for undelivered or faulty items, with the company often pushing for store credit or partial discounts instead.
Verdict

Lifely is a viable option for budget-conscious shoppers seeking stylish furniture, provided the items are successfully delivered as described. However, the high frequency of stock errors and poor communication suggests a significant risk for those ordering time-sensitive or pre-order items.

We were really excited about the lifely radiant natural mattress (queen). However after unboxing and setting it up we noticed a significant sag into the centre of the bed. When sleeping on one side you feel like you are lying on a diagonal and going to roll into the middle of the bed. We gave it a few weeks to see if it would flatten out but it… Read more

didn't. We emailed the company to organise a return but they said they required a video of us both lying on the bed so they could see that we were rolling in. We purchased this mattress after moving to a new state and didn't have anyone we could ask to come and take a video of my husband and I in bed! Shortly after my husband had to suddenly fly back to our home state for a family matter and was gone for almost 8 weeks. He has since returned and to deal with this mattress, i now sleep in the spare room and he sleeps on the new mattress because it's not so bad if just one person sleeps in the middle of the bed. But it's completely unusable for both of us to sleep on. The edge of the mattress (about a foot or so around the whole edge) is hard like a plank runs around the outside of the mattress. And when we're both sleeping on it, it feels like sleeping on the side of a hill (or a valley, i should say). We are not heavy people, I'm under 60kg and my husband is 85kg. I would not recommend the queen size of this mattress for two people, and honestly, not honouring a return policy unless you get a video of us lying on the bed is pretty ridiculous, i don't know how we even would have taken one to accurately show the slant. If you do purchase, be wary of the return policy. I attempted to write this review on their website but it simply would not display. Only their 5 star reviews appear to submit. Ended up posting the review but gave it 5 stars so it would display. Was taken down later that day.

The website is misleading and makes it very hard to understand the terms of the trial period for items. While most mattress companies let you trial the mattress free of charge, this company hides the fact that the trial is not free. You don't get a refund; you get store credit, and a 15 percent restocking fee must be paid. You need to find and… Read more

read the fine print to find that part out.

Furthermore, it said it ships on May 20th. The item indeed didn't ship until almost a month later! That I can understand, but they use Hunter Express for deliveries that you have to pay for; by the way, no free shipping here. On top of having to pay for the shipping, the driver dropped it off out front and took off. I have a disability and can't get the mattress up to my apartment. To put the onus on the customer to move the mattress up to the front door is shameful. The courier company and Lifely told me that this is due to the health and safety of the delivery driver. Atrocious behavior from a mattress company. Other companies deliver to the door and then even have an installation service at a charge. I guess you get what you pay for.

The product itself barely has any latex. They market this as a more natural alternative to foam, but I can tell you it's mostly springs and a small layer of latex. To top it all off, you are actually sleeping on what they call a biofoam! It's barely much better than a foam mattress, just doesn't smell as bad.

A biofoam mattress topper is marginally healthier than standard polyurethane foam, primarily offering a slight reduction in initial chemical off-gassing and better sleep temperature control. It is important to know that "biofoam" is not 100% organic or plant-based; rather, it is a hybrid material where manufacturers replace roughly 5% to 20% of petroleum-based chemicals with natural plant oils like soy or castor bean oil.

The mattress was a little firm, so I asked for a free soft biofoam topper to try. I was told it's not in stock for another 2 months! unbelievable! The support team couldn't care less about the concerns, just generic responses.

Won't be buying anything else from Lifely.

We purchased a flat pack table for delivery to our WA apartment. We got 2 minutes notice that the delivery was arriving, at which time we discovered that delivery into the apartment is not included. Front foyer. That’s that. Adamant. No help to a frail 80 year old. It didn’t matter that the goods weighed 100kg plus. Too much to do before 5pm that… Read more

day to help me. Sounds like a cost issue! Their AI respondent, called Jacob, subsequently assured us this limitation was in the terms and conditions of purchase. If it was, it wasn’t obvious, so if you’re buying from Lifely, for home delivery, be aware that it’s up to you after the goods are through the front gate.

Bought a bed and bed frame for our daughter and everything went smoothly from ordering to delivery. The quality is great, it was easy to assemble, and the bed looks exactly like the photos. Our daughter absolutely loves her new bed and was so excited to sleep in it. Really happy with the purchase and would definitely order agaiN.

Bought a double little lifely bed for my 3 year old son with the dream mattress too, it’s perfect. Fun, practical, safe and cozy, everything I wanted for him for his first big kid bed. Great value for money and I’ll probably purchase more from the range in future.

We love my son’s new lifely bed, our bedrooms are hard to find the right bed to fit the layout but the single bed is perfect. Relatively easy to put together, only had trouble with the corners for the zipper but everything else was able to be done by one person. Excellent customer service from Craig when I had to follow up on delivery as it was longer than expected. Would purchase again. Show reply

My daughter is absolutely obsessed with her new bed! She tends to move around a lot in her sleep, so I wanted something that would keep her safe and comfortable. This bed is perfect — the bumpers all the way around give me peace of mind, and she can’t fall out. Show reply

Our bed is so dreamy. Amazing quality, fast delivery. My husband and I had a wooden bed frame and decided to make the switch to the soft frame option. We went with the Cocoon bed frame, in the Wheat Camal colour. It is super comfortable, not too low and fitted our king size mattress perfectly. I would recommend anyone who is looking to make the same switch to try out Lifely! Show reply

Marvin from lifely is an amazing person to deal with. I asked for an earlier delivery and his communication was second to none. The item I purchased was a beautiful head board that looks like a cloud. This product came in perfect condition easy to assemble and I’m so pleased with my choice. I will be using this company before I look elsewhere for anything! Well done!! Show reply

Radiant Mattress! Absolutely amazing quality on this organic mattress. It’s 100% toxic free and super super comfortable. I’m so glad I switched mattresses for this. It was a bit of a scary process not trying it first but I have lots of other lifely pieces that are amazing quality so I knew it would be good

I'm extremely happy with the quality of my drawer set. The way it was packed made it impossible to damage during transport (the delivery driver did knock it around, but there was no damage). The components were laid out in labelled sections impeccably. The small hand drill supplied was easier to use than my Ryobi. The only issue was that on the… Read more

inner panel of the drawers, the predrilled holes for the tracks were not correctly positioned, so I had to make my own, but that wasn't hard to do. It took five hours to build, but I didn't mind because the quality of the materials and the ease of handling the components with the drill made it a pleasure to work with. I've assembled hundreds of flat packs, and this is by far the best one I have built. The overall unit is beautiful and built to last.

It appears that I have also been duped by this unprofessional company. I pre ordered a set of two bedside tables that were advertised on their website to be ready for delivery in the first week of September. I reached out to the company in the first… Read more

week of September to be told the stock was allocated to other customers and now the next stock will not arrive for another month. Such dishonourable business practices to falsely advertise available stock and take full payment knowing that they do not have stock available. Definitely feels like a scam like many other reviewers experience. If you need the product within a certain timeframe DO NOT rely on this company’s website and stock availability as it’s a lie.

 Follow-up  · As an update i finally received my bedside tables 6 weeks later. Communication was provided for each update inquiry i made. The customer response person Jeralene was responsive and efficient and a positive aspect for this company. As a gesture of good will the shipping fee was refunded by this company. The product itself was very good quality and I am happy with it, it’s a shame i had to wait so long to receive it.

soon as we got home. It’s so refreshing for a customer services team to take full ownership from start to finish - and the bed itself is great.

reach out to the customer service team about the delivery of the mattress, they replied very promptly and answered all the questions I had.

I have recommended this bed to other mums I know looking for a toddler bed.

I LOVE the pink no frame bed I got for my 1 year old daughter. I got the king single so I could snuggle in sometimes and it will suit her for years to come! So simple to set up, one person can do it. It only took me 20 minutes. the small box it arrived in was so easy to get up stairs! It’s so safe, and almost doubles as a big play area for her in her room. I have already recommended this bed to 5 other friends!! She loves it and I love it. Show reply

Customer service is absurd. Pre-ordered a sofa with 2 ottomons in the olive green over a month ago, their website said early may they would be back in stock. Never heard anything from them. I called mid may to follow up only to find out that theres no ottomans available in the colour we ordered and that they would no longer be re stocking them in… Read more

their supposedly most popular colour? We asked if we could replace the ottomans with 2 other pieces in the colour that we want, they said they would have to ask management and would call us back. Never heard from them again. Have followed up another 2 or 3 times and have had the same conversation each time. Will be seeking a full refund due to the lack of customer service and communication. Do not recommend anyone to pre-order from this company as they are absolutely no help when theyve already recieved your money!

I put an order for my son’s bed in February and was charged on my credit card within 24hrs. It is almost MAY and I have not received anything, not even a notice of my shipment. I am due in the next few weeks with our second baby and my son’s bedroom is still not ready. This company has the WORST customer service and I doubt I will have any better luck with my request for return.
