SHOP
It’s finally time for end-of-financial-year sales! Here are a few sales we have our eyes on.
Paire’s EOFY Sale

Shop Paire’s sitewide sale here*.
Ergoflex’s EOFY Sale
Ergoflex is one of those brands that rarely offers sales, so if you want to get your hands on Australia’s very first mattress-in-a-box (that was built to rival TEMPUR) at a 20% discount, this weekend is your chance! Did I mention it’s orthopaedic memory foam? Need I say more?
