It is such a pleasure to help people.

The variety of our product range in Norwood & Murray Bridge stores allows us to help people even go beyond "Move with Confidence, Live with Freedom."

“11 out of 10 pain” — that’s how one of our spinal clients described it before using Zephair.
Since then? Improvement. Support. Progress.

Even through power outages, the mattress kept doing its job.

For someone living with complex wounds, that kind of consistency matters.

It’s incredible to hear stories like this. Behind every mattress is a team that cares deeply about doing things properly, and behind every decision we make is someone we’re trying to help.

We’re grateful to this client for the feedback and trust.

We're really enjoying our CPD Workshop series and the opportunity to meet and connect with Occupational Therapists from across Melbourne.

Take a peek behind the scenes from our July Workshop "Putting Care Back into Pressure Care” which delved into the essential topic of pressure injuries with guest speaker, Bradley Fowler from Forté Healthcare.

After morning tea and a bit of networking, we explored the latest research into the causes and progression of pressure injuries, how they impact prescribing decisions and the best methods of prevention.

Bradley also took attendees through Forté's innovative range of High-Needs Pressure Care Support Surfaces and best practice application to ensure optimal patient comfort.

If you're an OT, we'd love to see you for a CPD Workshop at back to sleep! Make sure to sign up to our newsletter and stay in the loop with upcoming session dates: https://backtosleep.com.au/pages/resources
