Great comfy mattress – Comfortable and good quality. All the family have a Makin mattress and we’ve found them to last well. The double sided design is great and we rotate and flip regularly so that increases their longevity. Show details

Terrible mattress & service – Purchased two single bed mattresses for my children during Covid. Was not able to try and trusted recommendation of store representative after we explained what we were looking for. 3 days after receiving the mattresses called to explain they were very soft and kept sinking, I got told there was nothing they could do and bad luck.

For entry level this really is good quality – We bought the Siesta mattress for our 5 year old son but both my husband and I have slept on this mattress and agree for the price it is a very sturdy and comfortable mattress. Show details

My experience – I was so impressed that, if necessary, MM would rectify issues with their mattresses in the first 5 years, on one occasion as I understood it, and they did. Went the extra mile so that I would return home after major back surgery to a comfortable bed, and I was most grateful. Initially it no longer sloped away on both sides and humped in the… Read more

middle as previous. I took their recommendation and bought a new slat bed base from them, earlier this year also, and got rid of my bed head on their recommendation. I phoned the company, and was told to put in writing, which I did some time ago, included photos. Problem for me is this replacement mattress is now worse than ever, sloped outwards on both sides of the bed with large hump again through the middle section of the mattress. The replacement mattress is now 6 months old. It exacerbates my pain, and comfort is a non event. The person on the other side of the bed certainly is rolling over the edge also. It's as if the mattresses crush on outer sides after a very short time. Very sad about it. With the first one, I followed makers instructions re turning etc to the letter of the law. Unfortunately now my back will not allow the frequent lifting/ turning - and I think it would make absolutely no difference!! Seems like a default problem.

Money well spent – I recently had the misfortune of buying the Moldandgas from a Scandinavian chain. Big mistake. While it was comfortable, it came moldy and smelly. I tried chemical cleaning, vacuuming and ventilation. Give the Swedes a call and you will be listening to funeral-music for 40 minutes before you can talk to an actual person. Now try calling Makin… Read more ·  1

Mattresses, go on try it. "Hello, Makin Mattresses". It was the delightful and informative Michael on the phone, how do they do it? When I visited he listened to what I wanted, allowed me to try the two mattresses that I had already researched on-line; and you really must go into the store to try them out. Everybody is different. I selected the more expensive one because I could understand why it would have a higher cost of manufacture. You get what you pay for, Plus a bit extra at Makin. While Australian manufacturing is slowly sliding down the toilet, Makin (Australian) is growing and can now be found in every major population centre. Think about it for a moment.

Service - Queen Designer Range Plus Mattress – Bought a Queen Designer Range Mattress in Dec 2015 from Fyshwick store, the person who i dealt with was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The mattress is still under its warranty, since last 4 months or so I can see that the mattress is sagging and the springs are not holding the shape and due to which I am having a soaring back now., this… Read more

never happen before. Have always been flipping the mattress as recommended in the product disclosure form. Now it is getting worst, me and my wife together weigh less than $130kg. Called the Fyshwick store to get the mattress inspected the person i dealt with was really rude and not helpful at all. Tried explaining him the issue but he did not wanted to listen. Really bad service! My recommendation to new buyers is their mattresses are good quality buy if you want service later on during the warranty period good luck with that. They will not honor their words which is written in the product disclosure form.

Fantastic Mattress – In 2002 we bought a latex mattress from Nundah Makin Mattress. It has been a fantastic bed. In January 2017 we decided to update our mattress. We shopped around and read reviews. In february 2017 we bought a Queen Duet 2000 innerspring from Makin Mattresses at Nundah. The mattress is fantastic. We find the pillowtop is very supportive as well. As… Read more ·  1

we like a luxurious sleep we also purchased a micro cloud mattress topper from Micro Cloud. We are now sleeping on a cloud. We could not get a better sleep in a 5* hotel. We found the service at the Nundah store to be excellent. The staff did not hover around us while we made our choice We found that staff at other retailers stay close and don't give you a chance to think. The staff answered our questions professionally. Delivery was on time and the delivery staff were very polite and helpful. Thankyou Makin Mattresses we will return when we want a new mattress for sure. We hope this review makes your choice easier.

Excellent bed for 6' Teenager – I did not experience any dramas or problems with this Siesta ensemble. Son says the best sleep he has had in years. Just threw out Sleepmaker chiro single mattresses. From reading the reviews it sounds like the more nasty and aggressive your personality is, the more problems you face. It seems that Makin Mattresses is willing to resolve problems. Good enough for us to buy a third ensemble bed. Thanks Nundah Makin Mattresses.  Show reply

Like sleeping on a hill – We purchased our king size Indulgence range mattress at the Nerang store approximately 5-6 years ago. We opted for the innerspring and spent a fair amount getting their top of line innerspring model. The last 18 months this bed had gone from bad to unbearable. We religiously flip and rotate the mattress and if anyone has one of their king… Read more

sizes, then you'll know what a huge task it is to turn.

Obviously, the mattress has long been out of warranty and until finding this review site, I didn't think there was anything I could do about it. But the quality of the build must come into question. None of our friends have had any issues with mattresses from the other more popular (and expensive) mattress models. At the time of purchase, we were showed the quality of their products and were impressed with the information we were given. But if you have to purchase a new mattress every 5-6 years then there is something seriously wrong and not worth the money you save buying a 'Makin' mattress. A good mattress should should last 10+ years and if you flip/rotate routinely then it should last much longer.

Our mattress is like sleeping on a hill with the sides sagging down and honestly, we flip/rotate all the time. I now sleep in the spare room as I just can't take it anymore. We are not the complaining type and don't feel we need to ring around the company and demand things, but I guess, were are just disappointed the mattress hasn't lived up to the expectations communicated while we were purchasing.

Maybe I should contact the store but judging from some people's experience, this may just result in more frustration. I would shop around and look on more review sites, and be more knowledgable before purchasing. There is clearly a problem with the innerspring and longevity of the mattress.

  Chiro Firm

The bed is like sleeping on a rock of stone – I went to the Sandgate store on the 10/06/2015, to get new bed after my Sealy posturepedic firm was sagging It was first one sided mattress I have ever own. So I looked around at many bedding shops to find most of the other brands the same. I had 2 friends who had got mattress from Makin mattress were happy. So I went over to Makin mattress with… Read more

my mother who had got her bed from there.

I meet a lovely sales member called [name removed], and told her I had read up on there web page about there mattress

I tried the Chiro firm mattress first, and [name removed] told me to try the pocket spring type as well.

I was very happy with the one in the showroom, but once I got I got my bed it was like sleeping on rock.

So I kept waking up each 1 hour to roll over, the next morning I had red mark on both hips.

I turn it from head to toe and turn it over after a week by the booklet showed and said initial firmness you may be experiencing will disappear within a short period of time. So each time turned it was firmer, I have turn it now 4 time now and cant sleep on it as I have bruiser on both hips and legs.

I am having to sleep in my spare room on mattress that is only 12 months old and not had much use.

which is firm mattress as well. I have been down the road before when I had firm mattress and told to lay on snooze computer reader unit. It said I needed a plush mattress and I said I had firm king koil . Then when it turn out to be too soft and I could not roll over. They told me to ring the maker of the bed AOA bedding and told I should have firm bed for guy 198cm tall, so I rang snooze back and gave the detail of person how sold it to me, there reply his not working here anymore and said I was sold wrong bed by manager at AOA bedding. then they blame my bed with 16 slates and 10cm wide 5cm thick. So the out come was a new bed that didn't fix the problem and another $500 on top $899 for first mattress and $400 for bed. So can you please let me now how long to this mattress initial firmness soften up. As the book says in short period of time.

Save Your Money – I went for the 'indulgence plus' and have never slept on a more uncomfortable mattress in my life. Nothing like the feel of what was on offer in store. I thought because mine was new it might take a little time to wear in, I gave it six weeks and I would still wake up from numbing sensations down my arms. Trying to negotiate afterwards would only… Read more

Replacement mattress is excellent – Following my initial review (below) I was contacted by Makin Mattresses and offered a replacement.

It's now a pleasure to get into bed and enjoy a great… Read more ·  5

night's sleep.

We chose the soft version and it's still quite a firm mattress. We have a pillow top as well, and the combination works very well.

The contrast with our previous experience couldn't be more dramatic. I would now happily recommend this mattress.

------

We were convinced to buy one of the inner spring mattresses on the promise of superior quality materials and manufacturing. Instead, we've ended up with a mattress that peaks in the middle and slopes off to either side. It's been sent of for repair but was returned to us with the ridge remaining. Turning it makes no difference. We're both slender so it's not likely that we're the cause of the problem, although when I called to complain there was a cheeky suggestion that we don't spend enough time in the centre flattening it out.

It's also so hard it needs a pillow top, which makes the whole arrangement so high it's impossible to find sheets that fit well.

We're intensely disappointed with this miserable mattress. Between us we have 95 years of sleeping on mattresses and neither has ever encountered one that has worn so poorly. I would strongly recommend that potential customers steer clear. The promise of higher quality materials and manufacturing is simply not delivered. For the first few months it was comfortable. Wears poorly. Dreadful slope to the edges of the bed. Repair didn't resolve the problem.

Wish I had gone zoneless latex or foam from a cheap shop – Instead, I bought innerspring. Its been a few years now and like "Miller" I found that the mattress slopes off to the sides and in fact the sidewalls are really weak. I turned and flipped the mattress as recommended when I bought it but it made no difference. They also recommend not sitting on the side in the same place all the time. I'm not… Read more

quite sure how it is that you are supposed to get into bed without doing that first. I've just recently flipped it again, sloping off began within days, and now theres a huge chunk of wire that is poking out from the side. It has not get come through the material but its so close to it, its not funny. And its sticking into my leg when I sit down if I forget to feel for it beforehand. I'll be flipping it again today, but not before checking the integrity of the springs on the other side of the bed.

I've been disappointed with this mattress from day 1, but I have not complained to MM (Sandgate) because at first I thought it was "just me". Now, I've decided the mattress was never suitable for the task of giving me a good sleep (so maybe it is "just me"). Its my first, and last, "zoned" mattress. What a crock that is (and thats not just MM, its all of them). If you don't happen to lie in exactly the spot you are supposed to... god help your spine. I cant. I have to sleep partly sitting up, and that places my hips around where my waist ought to be. The pain is excruciating at times.

This mattress will soon be replaced by something else with no zones. Not much did not retain shape, poor construction of side walls.

came to me asking me to contact makin mattresses so i did.

I met the marketing manager natile and then i was referred back to the store which i bought it from originally and there i met adam the store manager.

Let me say that customer care is alive and well with these two people the problem was dealt with and fixed in about a week now my wife and i have a mattress that we indeed do enjoy sleeping on it is comfortable and does live up to its brand of indulgence.

Would i recommend this mattress yes i would i recommend nerang store yes in particular its management.

This is not a brown nosing exercise this is my experience and a happy one.

One more comment it is the norm to trash the business or anyone when things go wrong but rarely is it reversed when things go well.

Love my makin mattress. Mattress is Comfortable Customer Service

Excellent customer service and good quality mattresses – Long story short, I bought a queen mattress and then two years later a king mattress, which was meant to be the exact same mattress as my queen. I found my king mattress was too soft compared to my queen and it was sent back a number of times in an attempt to get it the same firmness and level of support and comfort as my queen. Finally, this… Read more ·  2

result was achieved, thanks to a staff member’s persistence, skills, knowledge, motivation and expertise.

I am extremely satisfied and found staff to be professional, not to mention they provided me with what I would regard as excellent, honest, fair and honorable customer service. The staff member I dealt with did not take offense and worked very well with me, as the customer. I felt my needs were listened to and my situation understood, plus the staff member took action to rectify issues around my new king mattress and persisted until all issues were resolved to my satisfaction. Things were explained and demonstrated to help me understand and an apology was offered when the outcome of my mattress was not as had been hoped. The staff member was respectful towards me at all times.

To be honest, I had heard about other customer reviews from the internet, which was something to the effect of “Makin Mattresses are good as long as you are buying something from them, but once you have problems, it is another story”. Based on this, I was concerned about how my issues would be handled. But I must say, these negative reviews from others, has not been my experience at all, and I intend to recommend Makin Mattresses to my friends and acquaintances. Excellent comfort, firmness and support. Nothing

Makin Mattresses..Great people to Deal With – I am amazed at the negative reviews I see here. About 15 months ago I bought a latex mattress from MM, and paid $1900 for it. After about a year it developed some problems with ridging. I had followed the instructions re turning etc implicitly, and it was on an approved slat base. I contacted MM and they took the mattress away and did some work on… Read more ·  1

it and returned it. After a week it was again faulty and they took it away again. I said that I did not want that mattress back as I believed that the problems would be ongoing. The staff at MM questioned me very closely about the warranty procedures that I had carried out, and asked for photos of the slat base, which I provided. The mattress was cheerfully replaced with a top of the range innerspring, with comfort topper pad layer, which is wonderful and I am very pleased. The staff were at all times helpful, and their one concern was to make me happy . Their delivery service was excellent and always on time, and I would recommend this company to anybody without hesitation.

I cannot believe the bad experiences in this forum, and cannot help but wonder if the people writing them had perhaps nullified their warranty by not following exactly the requirements, or had used a non approved base, or had even perhaps had a bad attitude in making their complaints. I say this because MM were strict about the warranty, which is fair enough, and once satisfied that I had followed the warranty requirements fully, there was no hesitation in resolving my complaint quickly and cheerfully. Quickl, on time deliveries and service, cheerfull staff

absolute rubbish and waste of money – After years of suffering and repeated complaints to MM about sleeping on a super hard sagging hammock latex mattress which more than likely led to my shoulder reconstruction, we were finally offered the top of the range inner spring, not before they tried to tell us that the topping had sagged (which there was none) and tried to sell us an upgrade… Read more

topping after stripping the bed in front of us and finally conceding to a new replacement mattress.

Just after a year, this too has sagged into an uncomfortable hammock style. I am ready to buy a second hand mattress that I am sure would be more comfortable and stable. Stay away from this company! None. No, one, guaranteed to find a better product elsewhere. expensive, cheap quality product with no customer service and rude sales/management.

Horrible mattress – I would rather sleep on a concrete floor in sub zero temperatures than sleep on a Makin Mattresses mattress. I can't believe how they put other brands down and claim to be superior to them, when the fact is that buying a mattress from them is a HUGE gamble! My back and hips will never be the same..

Hard as a rock – We were conned into buying the " firm " mattress as in the store when we tried it it was fairly soft, and the salesperson said we could always buy the removable pillow top for another $ 295 if we found it too hard.

wouldn't take the bed back and let us upgrade to a better one. The manager said we could have the layers of hard foam taken out at a cost of $50 to us so we did , but it didn't make much difference. Went and bought the pillow top.....again, hard as a rock, not at all soft and cushioning like you`d expect from a " pillow top" , waste of money..... all round. Not happy with product or sales ethics. They should TELL you that the bed you get will be harder than the one they let you try on the floor!! And that there is a no return policy. Nothing in the store to say this anywhere. What`s the point of trying something in the store when the product you actually get is totally different in feel when you get it home. They say it`s like a pair of shoes, it`ll get softer.... but my bones can`t stand sleeping on it to break it in even. False advertising !!!! Grrrrrrr

Buying this mattress has left a bad taste in my mouth
