Our Charity Partners

Every eligible mattress is sanitised, then rehomed through one of the charity partners below — not landfilled, not just shredded.

Eastern Emergency Relief Network (EERN)

Founded in 1995, EERN is a volunteer-run charity that collects quality donated household items and redistributes them, free of charge, to people experiencing hardship across Melbourne's eastern suburbs.

Based in Mitcham, VIC

Working alongside a network of community organisations, EERN supports people who are rebuilding after life's toughest moments, including:

  • Families escaping domestic violence
  • People experiencing homelessness
  • Individuals recovering after fire or natural disasters
  • Refugees establishing a new home
  • People affected by illness, unemployment or financial hardship

"To make a difference to those in need with a sense of community, compassion and respect."

Real Impact

Every year, EERN helps hundreds of households access essential furniture and bedding.

In the 2022–2023 year alone:

765

beds and mattresses were distributed to 443 client groups

1,300+

referrals were supported through EERN's warehouses

70

volunteers contributed thousands of hours helping families access the essentials they need

Behind every number is someone creating a home after experiencing hardship.

Every Mattress Has the Potential to Change a Home

When you replace your mattress, you're already making room for something new.

With Save My Mattress and EERN, your old mattress could help someone else do the same.

One simple decision.
One mattress.
One more family with a safe place to sleep.
