Help
Frequently asked questions.
Everything people ask us before and after they sleep on a HEKA. Can’t find your answer? Our team in Newmarket is happy to help.
Buying and delivery
Where can I buy a HEKA AI Mattress in New Zealand?
HEKA is sold in New Zealand exclusively through Irelax. Visit our showroom at Level 2 / 2 Nuffield Street, Newmarket, Auckland 1023, open seven days, 10am – 6pm, or call us on +64 9 555 6666.
Can I try the mattress before I buy?
Yes. Book a private visit to the Newmarket showroom and lie on every series. You’ll see how the mattress maps your body and adjusts in real time.
Once it’s home, you also have 30 nights to make sure it’s right for you.
Do you offer interest-free payment?
Yes, interest-free payment options are available. Ask our team in the showroom about the current options. Lending criteria, fees and terms apply.
Is delivery free?
Yes. Every HEKA comes with free white-glove delivery. We carry it into your bedroom, set it up, connect it and take the packaging away.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the series, the size and where you live. We’ll confirm your delivery date when you order.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Standard sizes can be changed or cancelled any time before your mattress is dispatched. Custom sizes go into production after three days, so they can only be cancelled within three days of ordering.
If you need to change anything, contact us as soon as you can.
Trial, warranty and returns
How does the 30-night trial work?
Sleep on your HEKA for up to 30 nights. If it isn’t right for you, contact us within the trial and we’ll arrange the return. Custom sizes are not included, unless there is a quality issue.
What does the warranty cover?
For a serious quality defect in the first year, we replace the whole mattress. From one to five years, the AI core system and the support columns are repaired free. After five years, repairs are subsidised.
The warranty covers defects under normal use. It doesn’t cover misuse, accidents or normal wear.
When does my warranty start?
On the day your mattress is delivered. You can also see your exact warranty dates in the HEKA App.
Does warranty service cost anything?
No. Repairs and replacements under warranty are free. After five years, repairs are subsidised at a fixed share of the retail price, with no call-out fee.
How do I make a warranty claim?
Contact us with your order number or proof of purchase and a short description of the problem. A photo or video helps us sort it out faster.
The mattress
How does the HEKA AI Mattress adjust to my body?
Pressure sensors map your body all night. The TrackR AI recognises your shape and sleep position, and the support columns beneath you rise or soften to keep your spine in natural alignment. There’s nothing to set.
Is it soft or firm?
Neither, and both. A traditional mattress has one fixed firmness. HEKA keeps adjusting to the natural curves of your body, so the support is right for the position you’re in.
Is it suitable if I have back or neck discomfort?
Many of our customers come to HEKA because of back or neck discomfort. Adaptive support relieves pressure points and helps keep your neck, lower back and hips aligned in every position.
HEKA is not a medical device. If you have a spinal condition or are recovering from surgery, talk to your health professional first.
Can couples with different needs share one mattress?
Yes. Each side senses and adjusts on its own, so you both get the support you need.
Is it comfortable during pregnancy?
Yes. HEKA adapts as your body changes, easing pressure on your lower back and supporting your bump when you sleep on your side.
Can it help with snoring?
HEKA recognises your sleep position and adjusts the support under your head and neck, which can help keep your airway open and may reduce snoring.
I toss and turn at night. Will it help?
HEKA keeps your body evenly supported as you move, so there’s less reason to keep shifting. Many people find they stay asleep longer.
Who can use it?
HEKA is designed for all ages and body types. It recognises each body’s shape and adjusts to it.
Will it fit my bed frame?
HEKA works on most stable, well-supported bases: a flat base, a platform bed or a firm slatted base. On a slatted base, keep the gaps between slats to 10 cm or less. Our team will check your base when we deliver.
How much weight can it support?
The support columns are made from aerospace-grade polymer. They are tested to carry 500 kg through 300,000 rolling cycles without deforming.
What is it made from? Is it good for sensitive skin?
The comfort layers use natural materials such as silk, camel hair and cotton, which are breathable and gentle on skin. The exact materials depend on the series.
How long will it last?
HEKA is built to last more than 15 years, and it’s backed by our warranty and after-sales care.
Power, technology and care
Does the mattress need power?
Yes. It runs on a safe 12 V supply, the same low voltage as a child’s battery toy, and uses very little power. The AI system is sealed in a metal enclosure.
Does it give off radiation or electromagnetic waves?
No. It runs on 12 V low voltage, and the AI system is fully enclosed in a metal shield that blocks electromagnetic interference.
Is it noisy?
No. The ultra-quiet Adaptive Air Suspension System makes its adjustments without waking you.
Do I need an app or a remote?
No. Once it’s set up, just leave it plugged in and it works on its own. The HEKA App is optional. You can use it to fine-tune how strongly the mattress adjusts and to check your warranty.
Does it work with other sleep trackers?
HEKA uses its own sensors and AI, so it doesn’t need any other device.
What if it stops adjusting?
First check that the power is connected and switched on at the wall. If it still isn’t adjusting, contact us and we’ll help.
Can I flip or rotate the mattress?
No. Keep the top side up, with the HEKA logo at the foot of the bed on the lower-right corner. Don’t try to take it apart: opening the mattress voids the warranty.
How do I clean it?
The mattress isn’t washable. Wipe the surface gently with a soft cloth and a mild detergent, and always use a mattress protector and a sheet.
- Don’t vacuum the surface. It can pull out the natural silk inside.
- Don’t use an electric blanket.
- Keep the room ventilated and dry.
