About Herington

Herington is a premium Australian bedding brand synonymous with "affordable luxury" and therapeutic support. As the flagship label of the Jaspa Herington group—one of Australia's leading bedding manufacturers founded in 1991—Herington has earned a reputation for combining high-quality natural and man-made fibers with expert local craftsmanship. The brand is a staple in major department stores like David Jones and Myer, best known for its comprehensive "Sleep System" approach that offers specific pillow profiles to suit every body shape and sleeping position.

Whether it is their prestigious ExcelDown® quilts or their highly technical ExcelFibre® pillows, Herington products are designed to deliver consistent loft, superior hygiene, and lasting comfort. Proudly Australian-owned, the vast majority of their range is manufactured in their Melbourne facility, carrying the famous "Australian Made" green and gold kangaroo logo.

Mission, Vision & Innovation

Herington’s mission is encapsulated in their motto: "Sleep Better, Live Better." They operate on the vision that a good night's sleep is the foundation of a healthy life, and that this should be achievable through high-performance, safe, and accessible bedding. Innovation is central to the brand, particularly in their proprietary fill technologies. They have developed ExcelFibre®, a specialized polyester fiber enhanced to be low-allergy and ultra-lofty, and ExcelWool®, which utilizes the finest Australian wool for superior thermal regulation.

A key achievement for Herington is its strong partnership with the National Asthma Council Australia, with many of their products carrying the "Sensitive Choice" blue butterfly, signaling that they are rigorously tested and safe for asthma and allergy sufferers.

Sleep Solutions is NDIS Registered and Approved

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Herington "High" and "Low" pillows?

Herington categorizes its core pillow range by profile (height) to simplify the buying process.

  • High Profile: Designed for side sleepers or those with broad shoulders who need to fill a larger gap between their head and the mattress to keep the spine aligned.
  • Low Profile: Designed for back and stomach sleepers or those with smaller frames, preventing the neck from being pushed too far forward or backward.
What is ExcelFibre®?

ExcelFibre® is Herington’s exclusive high-performance synthetic fill. It is designed to mimic the loft and softness of natural down while being completely hypoallergenic and machine washable. It is widely used in their "allergy-sensitive" range because it does not harbor dust mites or bacteria, making it a safer alternative to feathers for sensitive sleepers.

Are Herington quilts machine washable?

Most Herington quilts, particularly those filled with ExcelFibre® or Microfibre, are fully machine washable. However, their natural fiber ranges (like ExcelWool® or Goose Down) often require more delicate care. While some treated wool quilts can be machine washed on a gentle wool cycle, it is always crucial to check the specific care label attached to your product to avoid shrinkage or clumping.

Is Herington the same as Jaspa?

They are sister brands under the same parent company, Jaspa Herington. Generally, Jaspa is positioned as the everyday, value-focused brand (often found in major discount retailers), while Herington is positioned as the premium, luxury tier (found in department stores and specialist bedding shops), using higher thread counts and more advanced fill materials.

What does the "Sensitive Choice" butterfly mean?

When you see the blue "Sensitive Choice" butterfly on a Herington product, it means the item has been reviewed and approved by an independent panel from the National Asthma Council Australia. It certifies that the product is potentially beneficial for people with asthma or allergies, typically because it is treated to inhibit dust mites or uses materials that do not trigger respiratory reactions.
