Acoustic Insulation
Sleepyhead Memory underlay has superior acoustic properties compared to standard polyurethane foam underlays. With double the sound absorption of industry standard underlays, Sleepyhead Memory underlay is an ideal choice for multi-story living.

Antimicrobial
Sleepyhead Memory underlay has been treated with Fresh Protect™ antimicrobial treatment to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould, and dust mites, and prevent allergic reactions from occurring. Fresh Protect™ is derived from coconut oil and is safe for people, pets and the environment. One in three New Zealanders suffer from allergies and one in six New Zealanders suffer from asthma. Sleepyhead Memory has been endorsed by Sensitive Choice as a better choice of carpet underlay for those people who suffer from allergies or asthma.

Thermal Insulation
Sleepyhead Memory has enhanced thermal properties compared to industry standard underlay. Memory foam is denser than standard polyurethane foam, which reduces heat loss through the floor.

Recycled Scrap Foam
We have partnered with Flooring Xtra to help source approximately 80% of the scrap foam for this underlay from NZ rather than imported foam, keeping it out of landfill.

Soft Plastic Recycling
Sleepyhead Zero Eco Underlay packaging is fully recyclable. This plastic will be repurposed into other products such as fence posts.
