Discover the Power of a Better Night's Sleep

Call them cosy, call them compact, just don’t call them spill-proof. Single beds need protection, and a Sleepy’s single mattress protector keeps them clean and comfy for years to come. Whether it's for a growing kid, a guest room or the uni student who swears they don’t eat instant noodles in bed, Sleepy’s single mattress protectors have your mattress covered. From waterproof wonders to allergen-blocking styles, there’s a perfect fit for every sleeper.

Why Buy a Single Mattress Protector from Sleepy’s?

Because Sleepy’s doesn’t sleep on the details. We handpick our single mattress protectors to ensure they’re made from durable, breathable materials that stand up to real-life mattress mayhem. The spills, the crumbs, the creepy little mites—all of it.

Made in Australia, each single mattress cover is built to boost comfort and extend the life of your mattress without adding bulk or crunchiness. Not all mattress protectors are created equal, and lucky for you, we’ve picked the really good ones. Our team is here to help you enjoy deep sleep nights and go get-em mornings.

How to Choose the Right Single Mattress Protector

Little one with allergies? Go hypoallergenic for a sneeze-free night. Got a budding artist who thinks the bed is just another canvas? Waterproof is a must. Hot sleeper? Go for natural fibres that wick away moisture or be amazed by high-tech arctic chill designs, so you stay cool through balmy summer nights.

Whether you’re looking to buy a mattress protector online or match one to your new mattress in-store, our Sleepy’s sleep experts make it easy to find the perfect fit for your sleep style.

Frequently Asked Questions


What is a mattress protector and why do I need one?

A single mattress protector is like a soft, silent shield for your bed. It keeps sweat, spills, dust and all the tiny things you’d rather not think about away from your mattress and helps it last for longer.


Can I use a protector with my current single mattress?

Sure can. A single mattress cover is designed to fit a standard single bed. If your mattress has added depth, check the measurements to ensure a snug fit.


Are single mattress protectors waterproof?

Some are fully waterproof  (perfect for juice-spillers and reluctant night-toilet-break-takers), while others are breathable and lightly coated. Sleepy’s stocks both varieties, so you can choose your level of backup.


How do I clean and maintain my mattress protector?

Most are machine-friendly, so double-check the care instructions. If you have the green light, just zip it or slip it off and throw it in the wash like a regular wash. Give it a  clean every month or so, or sooner if life gets messy. 


Can a mattress protector affect comfort or mattress feel?

Only in a good way. A good quality mattress protector for a single bed is made to be soft, breathable, and silent. Some even add extra cushion if you’re craving cloud vibes.


What size single mattress protector do I need?

Go for a standard single, but check the mattress depth, especially if you’re using a mattress with a topper. A snug fit means better protection all around.

Due to the nature of bulky goods and potential construction time, delivery times will vary depending on the product and availability. If you’re purchasing in-store, we will advise you of an estimated delivery time, at the time of purchase. If you’re purchasing online, a local Sleepy’s consultant will be in touch to confirm a delivery date. Mattress and standard bases could take up to 7-10 business days. Customised drawer bases and bedheads between 15 and 21 business days.
What Happens Once I Place an Order?

The consultant in store will let you know they have received your order and will make arrangements to have your new mattress made for you. They will also provide you with regular updates as required to advise delivery details and time lines.

We do reserve the right in some cases, where the health and hygiene of our staff or contractors may be at risk, to negotiate an alternate arrangement for disposing of your mattress. During COVID-19, changes may apply to delivery schedules and free old mattress removals at this time. If you are purchasing online, we will confirm your delivery before processing your order. If you are making your purchase in one of our Sleepy’s showrooms, our teams in store will advise you of the current delivery protocols. Sleepy’s use independent contractors for delivery services to our customers and during this time we want to support these small business owners and our customers to ensure safety for all.

Please contact your closest Sleepy’s store for more information.
Will I Receive Advance Notice Before Delivery?
Yes, you will be contacted prior to delivery via SMS, email or phone call.
What Do I Need to Know Prior to My Order Being Delivered?
If Sleepy’s are delivering a new mattress (and/or base) to your home, we will contact you beforehand to provide guidelines to help arrange a smooth transition. As these products are large and heavy, it is recommended fragile, valuable and cherished possessions are tucked away and a clear pathway to the room be created.
Can I Change or Cancel My Order After I Have Placed it Online or In-Store?
Cancellation of orders will attract an administration fee equal to 20% of the total value of goods if your order has been placed with the manufacturer. You are not entitled to a refund if you simply change your mind. Order changes can be managed through the store. We always want to provide you with the most suitable outcome possible and will work with you to achieve this. Sleepy’s offer 60 Night Comfort Exchange on the occasion that your mattress isn’t quite right.
