Single, double or queen?
The cost of a double bed mattress is payable in full in the case of an employee who has a partner, otherwise the cost of a single bed only should be agreed. It is preferable for Comcare to be notified by the employee of the intention to purchase a special mattress and to provide at least 2 quotes before proceeding with the purchase.
Queen size mattresses will be paid for if the employee already has a compatible queen base. Consideration of these issues must be reasonable.
