FAQs

We have made the decision to keep our prices stable on a permanent basis. Manufacturing in Australia to a high level of quality is expensive and we are keen to keep our prices as low as possible.

This means that we will not be doing any sales or discount codes - but it does also mean that our customers can feel confident purchasing today that it won’t be cheaper next week! We launched as the Original Australian Play Sofa back in 2020 and our customers appreciate that we have stayed consistent!

Please do have a look through our Reviews here - we find our customers love our quality and it shows!

YES! We are 100% made here in Australia. We DO NOT import partly finished components and put an Aus Made label on them!

Every single stitch of our NooKs is sewn in our Sydney factory by our talented team.

We decided really early on that we wanted our NooKs to be an Australian Made product. This presented lots of hurdles, however, it is one of our core values. We love supporting local industry, building local jobs and keeping a low carbon footprint - this is hard to do if you are shipping in containers from across the globe!

Australian Made is really important to us and we believe that paying for quality ensures you will have a product to use for many years to come.

Inside your NooK you will find only open-cell polyurethane foam – no timber, board, metal or screws. NooKs and Extensions are soft, safe and super comfy! After trying LOTS of different prototypes we have used 3 different foam grades throughout the NooK and NooK Junior to create the perfect mix of comfy, supportive, soft and stable.

NooKs are available in four different fabric types - all are heavy commercial fabrics that have been Oeko-Tex certified to Standard 100.  All of our fabrics have the ideal mix of durability, softness and buildability. Our indoor NooKs are all made from 100% polyester blends, our outdoor NooKs are 100% Olefin.

Ah ha!! This is because it is quality Australian foam and it is a great way to distinguish it from other foam products. Each colour represents a unique mix of purpose, density and hardness that makes our NooKs the perfect blend of super comfort, strength for building and long lasting support.  

Can you tell we love our NooKs more than just a little bit!?!

We love our NooKs and want them to live their best lives! We have chosen a selection of beautiful, heavy commercial grade fabrics for our NooKs. These include our UltraWeave, Standard, Velvet and Outdoor range, as well as some beautiful Special Editions from time to time (Heeeellooo Boucle!).

We work exclusively with Warwick Fabrics, another great Aussie family business, because we trust their quality promise. The fabrics we use are most often found in schools and hotels where they see ultra tough use and still look great for years - they are all machine washable and easy-care!

Our different fabric ranges each have specific properties and different features, benefits and care instructions as shown in the table below:

In its standard configuration, the NooK measures 160cm across the front by 80cm deep. It stands 56cm high with a seat height of 25cm. As a sleepover solution, the NooK can be configured to measure 160cm wide x 172.5cm long… more sleeping space than a double bed!  

The NooK Junior may be mini but it is mighty! NooK Junior measures 120cm in length by 60cm deep. It stands 42.5cm high with a seat height of 20cm. As a sleepover solution, the NooK Junior can be configured to measure 120cm wide x 130cm long - a perfect “double” for the littlest family members!

Our shop in Cromer on Sydney's Northern Beaches is open Tuesday to Friday every week from 10am-3pm. PLUS Saturdays 2nd, 9th and 16th December from 10-3pm!

We'd love to welcome you and show you what makes Nook so special!

If you don't live in Sydney, as an online retailer only, we do not yet have showrooms in other states - however, you can feel confident reading our reviews that our NooKs are pretty awesome.

We have fabric swatches available for purchase so you can see and feel the NooK difference in your home. If you are having a tough time deciding on colours or fabric type - order online now!

Although foam is not the best for the environment, we have made it the best it can be from a zero waste factory – and we have made sure it lasts for many years of happy play before heading off to another home and not to landfill!

Australian foam is recognised as standing up to some of the most stringent environmental controls in the world and all our foams are GECA Certified showing that they adhere to strict environmental and ethical standards. NooK foam also contains an antimicrobial to ensure it has lifetime protection against dust mites, mould and bacteria. This Purify protection is guaranteed safe for people, plants, animals and the environment.

NooKs are NOT treated with any chemical fire retardants.
