Local, Honest & Experienced
Quokka Beds is an Australian family-run business who keep things fair and honest. We simply use high-quality, trusted and eco-friendly materials in straightforward, transparent designs – without the crafty marketing lingo.
30+ Years of Experience
Starting in 1998 as Brett's Beds + Futons - we are still 100% Australian family-owned and operated, and take great pride in the service we offer.
Long, Genuine Warranties
We offer the best warranties because we are confident in our materials - 10 years for our Pillow, 20 years for our Mattress and a lifetime for our Base.
Our Sustainability Initiatives
Beyond our many eco-accreditations, importantly, all our main materials are 100% sustainably-sourced – meaning there are no lasting effects on the environment. We also minimise our packaging and production waste as much as possible.
When we package and prepare our Timber Bed Bases for dispatch outside of WA, we use custom boxes that are all made in Australia from 100% sustainably sourced Australian paper, from Perth company The Box Man.
When dispatching our Latex Mattresses, we use minimal plastics wherever possible, as well as using NO Styrofoam and instead using 100% recyclable bubble-wrap.
For our local Perth customers, if you choose to collect your Timber Bed Base from our Wangara warehouse, we give you your order completely packaging-free to reduce unnecessary waste.
If collecting your Latex Mattress, each individual layer has just 1 protective sheeting.
We use ‘Near Sourcing’ to locally acquire our timber, which saves on costs and harmful emissions that occur from international sourcing.
All our timber suppliers adhere to the following nationally recognised certifications:
- Australian Forestry Standard (AS4708:2013), which is internationally recognised by the Program for the Endorsement of Forestry Certification (PEFC).
- Further, all suppliers passed international certification for effective Environmental Management Systems (ISO14001:2015).
Like us, it’s important that we source from other local Aussie businesses to make our products.
Our suppliers are based in WA and Victoria – and are regrown plantations that go through strict eco-certifications for both fair work initiatives and reduced environmental footprint.
To us, all timber is good timber. Each piece tells a unique story with its knots and grains, providing a historical piece of nature. It breaks our hearts to throw it away!
This means, we don’t actively seek out blemished timber pieces during our production process. If there is no structural or durability issue, then it will remain as is.
No two pieces of timber will be the same so our bases can have a slight variation in colour and tone, but we do our best to keep it similar between batches.
Through green energy solutions, our products are sourced only from certified plantations that reduce carbon footprint and adhere to strict eco-regulations.
This applies to both our timber, our latex, and our cotton covers, too!
Our latex from Vietnam is certified by ECO-INSTITUT (Germany) as 100% natural botanical latex with no added petroleum-based or synthetic latex, also meeting strict standards for pollutants and harmful emissions. This ensures there are no additives in our latex that could damage the quality, consistency or healthiness of your mattress.
Further, our latex uses the ‘Dunlop’ method of production due to its lower environmental footprint and durability advantages over the ‘Talalay’ method.
- Quality tested by eco-INSTITUT® for containing 100% natural latex rubber free of harmful pollutants and emissions
- Naturally hypoallergenic that repels dust mites, mould and mildew to fight allergies
- Durability tested (scoring 100/100) for little resilience or firmness-loss after 30,000 load cycles of 140kg (TUV EN 1957-2012 tested in Netherlands)
- Sourced from our supplier Lien’A in Vietnam.
- Additionally, our supplier uses bio-fuel for electricity and has an all-round clean production process (as certified by ISO 14001:2015).
- eco-INSTITUT Certificate.
- FSC Certificate.
Our Organic Cotton Cover is sourced from Mumbai, India. With 400GSM of wadding, plus a breathable canvas base, it provides ultimate comfort while prolonging the life of your mattress. Our covers are included with every Latex Mattress purchase.
Our Organic Cotton Cover is certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). This certification ensures all processes and materials are without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or other artificial chemicals – plus also meeting fair work conditions, recycling and more. We source them from suppliers who use certified manufacturing processes to reduce their carbon footprint, just like us.
