ABOUT OUR GUEST: Nick Ristevski

Nick Ristevski, a mattress expert based in Australia, traces his roots to a small village in Macedonia. Over 60 years ago, luxuries were rare, and Nick's early years saw him sleeping on a handmade rug woven from goat's hair until the age of 5. Subsequently, his family crafted a bed from straw that served him until he turned 15.
In his teenage years, Nick migrated to Australia, where he encountered his first "proper" bed — an innerspring mattress with coconut fiber and cotton.
Nick's journey into the world of mattresses was revolutionary. Today, after over 60 years, Nick sleeps proudly on a mattress of his own design, incorporating the best technologies in the mattress industry.
For over 54 years, Nick has served as the Director of Rockdale Mattress Factory, evolving from a furniture deliverer to one of Australia's leading mattress makers. His passion for work and commitment to quality have attracted an impressive clientele, including celebrities like billionaire James Packer.
Nick's aim to become one of the most knowledgeable mattress makers is reflected in the success of his small family business. Offering hand-made mattresses with a distinct touch has been a key factor in customer satisfaction for over four decades.
