Mastering a good night’s sleep doesn’t happen overnight. It’s taken us years of hard work, quality craftsmanship and a big belief to be the best Australian bedding brand. It’s this shared commitment that keeps our customers coming back.
But although we work hard, we do know how to relax. Our strong family values and fun working environment is inclusive and gives everyone the opportunity to make a difference.
We’re all very proud of our 40+ year Australian heritage and look forward to providing many more wonderful sleeps for our customers to enjoy.
Founded in 1981 by Sam and Lucy Sapuppo, Comfort Sleep began as a husband and wife business based in the Melbourne suburb of Thomastown. Sam would go out and deal with clients during the day, then he and Lucy would make the mattresses in the evenings at their 300m2 shopfront.
Hard work saw the business grow fast, with Sam and Lucy leasing the property next door to expand production. It was at this point they took on their first employee and soon grew to 5 full time employees.
Bought first block of land in nearby Wood Street, and built first purpose-built bedding factory. This factory was 1000m2, triple the size of their first building. Workforce expanded to around 15 full time employees. Major accounts in Melbourne and Sydney enabled further growth.
Moved to current premises in Holt Parade (3,500 m2). Invested more than $1 Million in factory floor equipment including spring and quilting machines. Grew to 30 employees making beds full time. Expansion into other states of Australia.
Major renovation of the Holt Parade factory, taking it from 3,500 to 5,000 m2. Sam and Lucy’s sons Michael and David are now full time employees in the business. Work force grows to more than 50 full time staff and first major international export to Japan to follow soon afterwards. First major award for excellence in bedding manufacturing.
Purchase of land next door in Holt Parade to expand operations. Output of 250+ beds per day. Comfort Sleep now receives global sourcing of machinery, materials, and innovative ideas to continue to improve their products.
Re-brand to better reflect our business, strategy and where we want to go.
