We’ve saved over 1.5 million items from landfill, a majority of which are still in a fit-for-wear condition! However, roughly 35% aren’t. So after exploring new and innovative solutions to reuse, repurpose and recycle these textiles, we’ve asked ourselves – How can we utilise the unfit-for-wear textiles and upcycle them into something else?
We’re able to transform and upcycle old clothes into a comfortable, supportive and sustainable cushion for our kids flip out sofa. The recycled filling is not only completely safe but at the end of its life, it’s also 100% recyclable! Made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, the outer cover fabric contains smart waterproofing technology that prevents absorption allows it to be machine-washable. Available in 4 colours, this fabric has been designed and engineered to make cleaning a breeze.
We’ve been working with some industry leaders in the circular space to develop innovative upcycling solutions. Our mission to eradicate textile landfill has always been for the benefit of future change-makers. So we’ve designed a product fit for the next generation and beyond! With this in mind, we’ve ensured that once at the end of its life, the entire sofa can be thrown straight back into the production process for a new product resulting in a zero-waste, circular product!

FOR REGULAR CARE:
FOR GENERAL CLEANING:
As we’re working on a conscious production model focused on reducing environmental impacts driven by over-production, we’ll be producing the FlipUP™ on a made to order basis, meaning that once we receive your order, we’ll get into production of your FlipUP™. From there, we’ll communicate with you on the status of your sofa by email, before sending out a final shipping confirmation!
We’ll ship your order using our carbon neutral shipping partners to ensure that we’re not producing more greenhouse gases to pollute the atmosphere. Your FlipUP™ will be sent in a durable compostable satchel to shelter it from rain, hail or shine!
Psst! Keep this satchel safe and sound, then when you’re done with your FlipUP™ you can send it back to us for free.
Once the kids have grown out of their FlipUP™, we’ll gladly take it back for free. Simply send us an email requesting that your FlipUP™ be collected and we’ll send our carbon neutral courier provider to pick it up from your front door at a time that suits you. If you don’t have the compostable satchel, then we’ll happily ship one out to you at no cost!
Our FlipUP™ is designed, engineered and made to order with love and care in Australia. The dispatch timeframe is 28 days. You will receive an email notification once your order has been processed and once it has been shipped. In between these notifications, you’ll get a status update on the production of your FlipUP™ so you can follow along with the process.
The material used to cover the FlipUP™ incorporates no less than 40% of recycled yarn produced from recycled plastic bottles. In fact, each metre of fabric used represents no less than 4 plastic bottles. This outer material is tested to exacting standards for colourfastness, abrasion, inherent stain resistance and safety and considered a hallmark for high performance, easy-clean fabrics. Plus! It’s resistant to pilling, mould and mildew and is impervious to attack by moths, silverfish and insect pests.
