Disappointed by quality – I faced issues with the delivery. Company was not contactable and when I finally managed to get in touch almost a month after ordering and multiple attempts at making contact (email, Facebook, online chat on website), they said they didn’t deliver because couriers don’t send to parcel lockers. I was quite surprised that they didn’t bother to… Read more

contact me to let me know about that. It finally arrived today and when I unzipped the cover to look at it, I was very disappointed by the quality of the pillow. It had broken bits in the foam. I’m not sure if it is normal, but I’ve seen a friend’s old foam pillow (another brand) that has broken bits and she says it’s because it’s about 7 years old. Brand new pillows shouldn’t be like that. For a pillow that costs $100, it is quite disappointing.

Our second Sommuto mattress – I guess the best products will draw you back to buy again. We bought our first Sommuto mattress 4yrs ago - it strikes a nice balance between me (who likes it a bit firmer) and my wife (who likes it soft). Coming from a Dunlopillo latex mattress previously, we found the Sommuto to be much cooler to sleep on. 4yrs on and you can barely even see any… Read more

sagging and we still find it very comfortable. So when we wanted to get a queen mattress for our oldest son, we were happy to get another - despite some of the recent reviews below on customer service. I really don't know where these are coming from - with both purchases, I received excellent customer service via webchat, phone or email. We also got the pillows which are quite soft for a memory foam pillow, but feel great. The whole pillow can be washed which is quite unique.

Sommuto Service Awful – Ordered the Sommuto King Mattress with two pillows after looking at many other options. I'm very disappointed to find tha Sommuto Service is awful. Firstly, TNT delivered a day before arranged to find no one home. Even after giving them permission to leave the box they failed to do so. They also failed to leave a card. I had to pick up the… Read more

mattress but they didn't have the pillows I had paid for. I contacted Sommuto via the chat app on their website and they 'promised' to send the pillows. No show. I did this again, as their 1800 number simply goes to messages, and again great empathy shown but no result. Don't fall for these guys even though mattresses are well rated. Service is paramount. These guys have none. Onward to fair trading for me.

Injured whilst sleeping - non-existent customer service – I'm a side sleeper and after the first few nights I developed acute shoulder pain and had to have both therapeutic massage and see a chiropractor to get some relief. The pain was so intense that I couldn't sleep for weeks and it's still not completely healed 3 months later. Even with a mattress protector that wicks heat away from your body, I was… Read more

sweating overnight and the mattress was much too hot to sleep on. I also found it much too firm for my comfort level (normally a medium) and was constantly rolling around all night shifting position, then going to work incredibly tired and run down.

I completed the online refund form and the problem was then in trying to get my money back - I was still waiting 3 weeks after it was picked-up. Sommuto do not respond to emails, almost permanently have their phone switched to messaging and they don't return calls. This the behaviour of a company that you can't trust and shouldn't deal with.

Sommuto, the one time I caught them on the phone, said the first weeks delay was as they didn't get confirmation of pick up from the Salvation Army, but the Salvo's deny that. It seems illegal for Sommuto to be donating mattresses to charity that they don't even own, as the mattress is still my property until a refund is paid. Summuto save money by having a charity do their pick-ups, instead of having the charity do regular pickups at the Summuto warehouse - this isn't so charitable compared to how other bed in a box companies operate. I had to threaten action with NSW Fair Trading to eventually get my refund - this shouldn't be necessary and I wouldn't recommend Sommuto to anyone.

Sleeping on back for the first time in years – It's been about a week but so far I'm really impressed, as a Mum of 4 I've never been able to sleep properly since the birth of my 4th and very large son. I have back issues and a week core . I have enjoyed some wonderful sleep lately finding myself waking in my back in minor discomfort but nothing like I'm use to. I feel the pressure point pain… Read more

when I sleep on my side either which is great. I'm the type of person who looks into things in detail before I commit and what sold me on Sommuto was the quality backing of their mattress that others such as Koala and Grey Wing did not such as Evo foam and approval from the Sensitive Choice program . The Evo foam they use has been certified by GECA. I am now looking at buying my 2 yr old a Sommuto single as he is ready to leave his cot. Oh and the customer service is pleasantly amazing and not something that is easy to come by these days. Couldn't speak more highly of the entire process from ordering, delivery and post purchase follow up.

Finally - a cure for my aching back! – I work as an aged care nurse and was suffering back pain from heavy lifting. My old inner-spring mattress didn't help. So I took the plunge and bought a Sommuto. When it first arrived, I thought it looked a bit small - was worried they'd sent the wrong size. The delivery driver saying "oh it's one of those mattresses which explodes when you take… Read more

it out of the box" didn't make me feel a whole lot better!

But it was actually fun taking it out of the box. Once you get it halfway out of the plastic, it starts to expand. (Gently!)

And sleeping on it has been a joy. After the first few days, my back pain disappeared - I felt better than I had felt in years.

So yes - this is definitely a mattress I'd recommend. Couldn't be happier! And the follow-up from the company has been extremely professional. From the first morning, when I got a message asking me how I slept, to today's follow-up call when I offered to write this review.

You're a class act, Sommuto. Full marks for an excellent product at a reasonable price (about half what others told me I'd have to pay) and an attitude to product testing which is exemplary.

Best mattress ever! (Side sleeper) – This has to be the best mattress I’ve slept on. I was waking up with constant hip, back and neck pain the last few years and now that I have a Sommuto I haven’t woken up once in pain. They are a thinner mattress so it’s not as high on my bed base as I was use to but something I can compromise for to be pain free and sleep through the entire night.… Read more

Customer service was amazing too, I ordered lunch time Thursday and it arrived lunch time Friday. It’s certainly softer than the koala mattress and I think very durable considering it’s warranty and make. If you’re in need of a new mattress seriously consider the Sommuto, At least for the 100 days... I don’t think you’ll return it!

Comfortable Nights Sleep – Was unsure to begin with as there are many of these options out there varying in price. Old mattress was well past its used-by date and was the source of restless sleep and back pain (exisiting lower back pain from time to time, made worse by the mattress I was sleeping on). We ended up with the Sommuto due to other reviews, price (with… Read more

coupon), Australian designed and made over some that were not and well 100 days to love it or not.

We came to the conclusion that 5 minutes sitting on a mattress and listening to someone try sell you something is close enough to the same risk as just ordering from the internet. I mean this is the future so why not.

Delivery was the only issue I had, when the courier had taken the items for delivery their ETA or options for delivery were outside what Sommuto were paying for and what the website claimed, it was an automated delivery booking system I was given a link to in email (from the courier) and the courier were estimating weeks before delivery.

This is ridiculous given its coming from Australia's second biggest city going to its largest city (Sydney) and both locations were well inside the metro area. - This is an issue with the courier, not the mattress or Sommuto.

After either calling or emailing Sommuto about this (cant recall which) Sommuto had spoken with the courier and had corrected the matter given they were paying for a much more priority service than they were offering me.

Dispatched Wednesday (Midday), Arrived Friday.

Not quite the 4 hour or same day delivery offered by a couple other in the box mattress companies however these I am told are packed as required rather than sitting in storage compressed which is not good for the product.

Unpacking and setup was quick and easy, there was a very slight smell from the mattress however this dissipated and was not overly unpleasant. A slight smell lingered for a short time however thats to be expected I guess (3-5 weeks?).

This mattress is much softer than our previous when getting in to bed, this was a welcome change, its very supportive and after getting use to sinking in to it a bit provided nights sleep that I've not had in a long time.

There is good a level of firmness that is supportive and I have rarely (none that I can recall) had any back pain when waking up since.

Much less disturbance when my wife decided to bounce about to flip sides.

We got ours in August, it was fine in winter and we were curious about summer, it does feel warmer than our previous mattress but is not a big problem given the quality of sleep once asleep and the level of comfort.

Also AC in summer fixes that!

Would happily recommend this given the little over 4 months we've been sleeping on it (at time of writing).

Would happily purchase another mattress from Sommuto given this experience.

GOLD!!! – Was extremely hesitant about purchasing online - but the money back guarantee and 100 trial was a big clincher. Not to mention the 12 monthly payments! Such an awesome deal. We already had a super supportive/comfy latex mattress, so moving to a foam mattress was, in our eyes, a bit of a risk! After an initial 3-4 days settling in period and now… Read more

100+ nights on, this mattress is soooooo good! Just the best thing I've slept in. Ultra comfort. No partner disturbance. The whole thing from service, delivery, online chat line to set up was a breeze. in my opinion, a brilliant mattress!

Disappointed by Sommuto's service – We ordered this mattress because of its awesome reviews and we're sure they are all warranted. However, we never got to experience its awesomeness, because a week after we paid for it, Sommuto suddenly refunded our money because TNT wouldn't deliver it. Why would you not use another courier or at the point of payment tell us that the delivery… Read more

would not be possible and not take our money? We also had problems talking to someone online....as in they would invite us to ask a question and when we did they didn't respond??? To be honest we wouldn't be so grumpy if we didn't have family coming tomorrow, because someone will be sleeping on the couch! Come on Sommuto you can do better than this!

Free delivery if it suits us – After ordering (& paying) for a Kingsize mattress, Sommuto advised that they were not prepared to offer free delivery as advertised. We live less than an hour from Perth. Extremely happy with competitors (Koala) mattress which was delivered without fuss within 48 hours. Show details

Absolutely appalling customer service, terrible mattress! – Do not buy from Sommuto! The mattress is incredibly uncomfortable, it apparently suits side sleepers, this could not be further from the truth. I'm light, My husband is heavy and we both ended up with hip and shoulder issues after trying the mattress for several weeks. We tried to return it but they NEVER answer their phone (goes to voicemail) or… Read more

reply to emails. Finally got them to collect the mattress after threatening to go to the dept. of fair trading but after over 2 weeks have still not received our refund. Absolutely appalling company to deal with. I regret ever trying out Sommuto, terrible product, non existent service.

Comfy but hot, hard to return – I loved the feel of the mattesss, so comfy but it was just way too warm as it had significant heat retention. Getting Sommuto to pick up the mattess and provide me a refund was a nightmare. It took a bunch of emails and countless phone messages, and over a month of waiting Show details

Product emits strong chemical fumes. Requested refund and customer support non-existent – Sommuto mattress is still emitting strong chemical fume smell over a month after purchase. I am concerned about the health implications of breathing this in 8+ hours a day. Product is also much firmer than expected and not suitable. Have completed online form, called and emailed Sommuto but zero response to refund request. Sommuto's phone number… Read more

Sleepless nights – I know you take a chance when you buy things on line but after reading all the reviews I thought it was worth a punt. Delivery was prompt even to the FN Queensland I was so excited to open my box, How wrong could I be. What I got was a rock hard bed and no sleep. I wake up every morning in pain and sadness. Was the bed comfortable? No Was the bed supportive? No Deeply disappointed, stiff and tired.  Show details

Nope – The order and delivery process was ok (although I didn't receive a tracking number for the shipment until *after* the mattress was delivered and I had emailed them to follow up). The mattress we received had an extremely strong chemical smell, to the point where we could taste it in our mouths as soon as we got near it (never mind sleeping on it).… Read more

It made us feel very unwell. After 4 days we couldn't stand it any longer and moved it to another room in our house while we waited for it be picked up and returned. This smell had not gone away by the time the mattress was picked up for return almost 3 weeks after we received it. They told me this was not a normal issue and that they would take the mattress back to their factory for testing. The mattress was also horribly unsupportive and caused me lower back pain. Getting them to pick it up was also a hassle with multiple delays and stuff-ups organising the return courier. I definitely do not recommend one of these. Spend a bit more and get a decent mattress instead of a piece of floppy foam with no support.

Sweet Dreams still (have since bought another for daughter since the first review) – I've wanted a mattress like this for a long time but was put off by the risk of not being able to try before purchase. Being able to visit a showroom first gave peace of mind and the hundred day trial and charity donation option was added incentive. The positive unsolicited reviews were also helpful. The delivery process was fast and efficient.… Read more

Three nights in, I am a convert. The mattress is extremely comfortable and Sommuto made the entire process easy, nothing was too much trouble. I am sure I will purchase again.

Awful overpriced matress – We bought a Sommuto matress about a month ago going on so many great reviews , what a joke I don't believe one of their 5 star reviews!

Much better than I thought – I tried the mattress first at Alexandria and I initially thought that it would be too soft. They had a Queen size in stock and I took it home that day. It took 2 days to adjust to the new mattress. I would describe the mattress as a medium/firm feel and very supportive. After 3 weeks I have not experienced any back pain or numbness in my… Read more

I would highly recommend doing the 100 day trial of the Summuto mattress if you are unsure. I think you will be pleasantly surprised and want to keep the mattress. Hamish was very helpful with his knowledge and construction of the mattress.

Great Mattress – I've had a memory foam mattress before so i didn't need to get used to it but this was as close to a tempur one you can get and for a third of the price. Incredibly comfortable and a great nights sleep. I had surgery a few months ago and my shoulder was still quite uncomfortable in the morning after sleeping on my old mattress but not anymore, it feels great.  Show details

which was important to us having a newborn baby that we often have in our room, and on our bed. Babies can be particularly sensitive to dust mites in mattresses!

Cannot fault the company or the mattress – Who would have thought buying a mattress on the internet would be so simple and so successful. I suffer from fibromyalgia and my old spring mattress was making it even harder to sleep. The Sommuto mattress supports my body but also cocoons my body and allows my body to lay in a position comfortably. The added big bonus of the guarantee is wonderful but I don't think I'll be using it.  Show details

Beard seemed to be suitable. My wife has always liked a very soft mattress, I can sleep on anything. Delivery was prompt and the mattress where easy to carry and unpack. The feel of the mattress was firmer with bedclothes on & for the first 2 days Judy thought hers was to firm. Now she finds the mattress very comfortable especially with the head and foot of the bed in a slightly raised position. We will be replacing the other mattress on the spare beds with Sommuto mattresses
