If you have ever experienced a pet accident, a drink spill, or other everyday household mishaps, you will understand how quickly liquids can penetrate carpet and become trapped in the underlay beneath. Sleepyhead’s innovative UltraPet Carpet Underlay has been specifically designed to help protect your flooring investment and maintain a cleaner, healthier home environment.
Featuring StainShield™ and Fresh Protect™

UltraPet features StainShield™, a multi-layer, high-density barrier technology that helps prevent liquids from soaking into the underlay. By reducing liquid absorption, spills and pet accidents can be cleaned more effectively before moisture penetrates the underlay, helping to minimise the conditions that can lead to mould growth, unpleasant odours, and bacteria build-up.
For added peace of mind, UltraPet is treated with Fresh Protect™ antimicrobial technology, which helps inhibit the growth of bacteria, mould, and dust mites. Originally derived from coconut oil, Fresh Protect™ is safe for people, pets, and the environment, making it an ideal choice for family homes.
A complete flooring system

UltraPet Underlay can also be paired with a matching Victoria Carpets UltraPet carpet, creating a complete flooring system designed to help protect against everyday spills from the carpet surface through to the underlay beneath. As an added benefit, customers who purchase both Victoria Carpets UltraPet carpet and Sleepyhead UltraPet Underlay qualify for a 25-year warranty, providing long-term confidence in their flooring investment.
Committed to sustainability

At Sleepyhead Flooring sustainability is a core commitment. Therefore, we launched Project Zero, our initiative to recycle and re-use materials where possible and reduce waste. All Sleepyhead underlay products are manufactured using 100% recycled foam. Through our Project Zero underlay recycling program, uplifted and scrap underlay is collected, cleaned, and recycled, helping divert waste from landfill while supporting a more sustainable, circular approach to flooring products.
Sensitive Choice® approved

Sleepyhead’s premium Memory and UltraPet underlays have also been approved by the Sensitive Choice® program.Products displaying the Sensitive Choice blue butterfly have been independently assessed by a panel of experts and may be a better choice for people living with asthma and allergies. This is particularly relevant in New Zealand, where approximately one in five people experience allergies and one in nine live with asthma.
For households with pets, children, or allergy and asthma sufferers, UltraPet Carpet Underlay provides an additional layer of protection that helps keep flooring cleaner, fresher, and healthier for longer.
Sleepyhead UltraPet Carpet Underlay is available exclusively through Flooring Xtra stores nationwide.
