How to Join Mattress Affiliates in AU 2026

🚀

Getting started this week? Sign up to Commission Factory first — it's the main AU affiliate network and houses most of the brands below. One application, multiple programs.

Step 1: Join Commission Factory (Your Main AU Network)

Commission Factory is Australia's largest affiliate network. Most Australian mattress brands run their programs here. Sign up once, then apply to individual brand programs inside the dashboard.

Sign up: commissionfactory.com → (free, takes ~10 minutes)

You'll need: your website URL, a brief description of your content, and your ABN (or state you're applying as a content publisher — they accept sites without ABNs too).

Earnings example: If you refer 5 Queen mattress sales per month at an average of $1,200 AUD at 5–8% commission, that's $300–$480/month from a small site. As traffic grows, so does income — without more work.

Step 3: Also Sign Up to Amazon Associates AU

Even though the 24-hour cookie is short, Amazon Associates AU is worth joining for accessory content: pillows, mattress protectors, weighted blankets, sleep trackers. These add-on pages generate extra commissions and internal links that help your SEO.
