Frequently asked questions

What technology do Sleepyhead Balance+ mattresses use?
Sleepyhead Balance+ mattresses feature 5-zone pocket spring technology with ActiveSense, which detects and deflects pressure for reduced partner disturbance and increased support. Balance+ mattresses also include KulKote for temperature management, breathable fibres, and protection against common allergens for a fresher, healthier sleep.
Why is the Sleepyhead Balance+ range great value for money?
Sleepyhead Balance+ mattresses are designed and made in New Zealand, engineered with advanced Kiwi sleep technologies to help you sleep comfortably and well supported, without overheating. Each mattress also comes with a 10 year local warranty for peace of mind.
What is a pocket spring mattress with ActiveSense?
The Sleepyhead Balance+ is a type of pocket spring mattress with ActiveSense springs. These mattresses feature ActiveSense: a dual-stage pocket spring technology with an hourglass shape, designed to provide targeted, active support across a wide range of body weights. Featuring targeted zones of individually wrapped coils that adjust independently to your weight and body contour, this innovative system offers conforming back support, effective pressure relief, and reduced partner disturbance.
Is a pocket spring mattress with ActiveSense good?
An ActiveSense spring will provide superior active support for all shapes and sizes of sleepers. If you’re sharing your bed with another person, then a pocket spring mattress with ActiveSense is great for minimising partner disturbance. And when compared to foam mattresses, ActiveSense springs allow for more air flow and give a more regulated sleep temperature for a great sleep all year round.
Are ActiveSense mattresses good for your back?
The individual springs of a pocket spring bed are perfect for back support. Each spring contours to your body shape providing additional cushioning to your pressure points. Side sleepers benefit most from this level of support as their body is fully supported from top to toe ensuring optimal spinal alignment. ActiveSense's intelligent two-stage coil design takes this even further: it detects and deflects pressure, providing additional support where it’s needed most.
