Financial Support
We are committed to ensuring everyone has equal access to the right care and support they need across our range of adjustable beds and mattresses. It is our mission, to make sure everyone who needs additional support is not turned away, that’s why we have partnered with Afterpay and Humm as our financing providers with several repayment options available.
How Afterpay works
- When you use Afterpay, you pay for your items in 4 equal instalments over 6 weeks, without incurring any interest.
- We pay the retailer in full and upfront on your behalf. You pay for the first instalment of 25% at the time of purchase, and the remaining three instalments will be automatically deducted from your nominated debit or credit card over the following six weeks.
- You can use Afterpay for purchases up to $2,000 with the standard 4-installment plan. If your purchase exceeds this amount, don't worry! Contact our friendly team, and we can help you arrange to pay an upfront amount and spread the rest over Afterpay.
Afterpay is interest-free
When you pay in 4 instalments, it’s always interest-free, and there are no late fees as long as you pay on time. If you do miss a payment, you will incur a late fee and you won’t be able to buy or book anything else with Afterpay until you settle your account. But no interest.
Available in-store and online
Afterpay can be used both online and in physical stores, depending on the retailer or service. To shop in-store with participating retailers, you’ll need to set up the Afterpay Card. You can do this through the Afterpay app; just go to the In-store tab and follow the prompts to add the Afterpay Card to your digital wallet. Then when you’re shopping in-store, just tap to pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay.
Are there any fees for using Afterpay?
There are no late fees if you pay on time. However, if you miss a payment we do charge late fees. These fees never exceed 25% of the purchase price or $68; whichever is less. We do everything we can for you to avoid late fees, including sending reminders leading up to the payment due date and an alert after a payment has failed. Monthly fees apply to Afterpay Plus subscribers.

Using Humm, we can give customers the flexibility they require to purchase their adjustable bed, mattress, or Home Care package bundle without stress, lengthy application delays, or ultimately being turned away.

FAQS About Our Financing Support Options
How do I set up an Afterpay account?
Setting up an Afterpay account is simple, and anyone over 18 can do it. To get the best experience, download the Afterpay app to sign up. Alternatively, you can sign up on our website, or during the checkout process at participating online retailers. You'll need to provide some personal information and link a debit or credit card.
It’s important to know that we do apply an approval process for individual purchases. Our approval process takes a number of factors into account, including whether there are sufficient funds in your account (particularly for new customers), and how much you will have to repay on the purchase. We carry out this process on every order you make with Afterpay, not just the first one.
How can I increase my Afterpay spending limits?
Afterpay's spending limits start low, at around $600, and increase gradually over time with consistent on-time payments. If you’re a new Afterpay customer, the amount you can spend will be lower than if you’ve been responsibly using Afterpay for a long time. Typically, the longer you’ve been using your account and making repayments on time, the more likely the amount you can spend will increase.
What happens if I miss an Afterpay payment?
If you can't make a payment, you should contact us as soon as possible to discuss your options. You may be able to reschedule the payment or make a partial payment. We will charge a late fee if you miss a payment.
But first, we will do everything we can to help you avoid this, including sending reminders leading up to the payment due date and an alert after a payment has failed. If you do miss a payment, we will immediately pause your account and you won’t be able to buy anything else with us until your payments are up to date. You may notice your spending limit decreases too.
How much are the Afterpay late fees?
Total late fees are capped at 25% of the order price, and will never exceed $68 per order, regardless of the order amount. For orders $40 and over: each time a payment is late, an initial fee of $10 will be charged. A further fee of up to $7 will be charged if the payment remains unpaid seven days after the due date. We also pause your account until the balance is paid and you're back on track. We’re committed to doing everything we can to help you not miss a payment.

What Happens If I Return My Bed Or Mattress? Will I Get A Refund?
You will receive a full refund if the mattress or adjustable bed is not suitable for you (conditions apply) or if it is a defective product. In most cases, we can swap out the mattress with another one that is more suitable covered under our Peace of Mind Policy. However, if you are looking to return your adjustable bed or mattress, please get in touch with our team to discuss further.
Can I Change My Payment Amount For A Product?
No, this cannot be changed.
Can I Change My Scheduled Payment Date?
Yes, individual payment dates can be changed on the web or within the Humm app. This can only be done for future dates (not on the day or previous).
