Michael Hook

Michael Hook is the owner of Zentai Living, Australia's original organic latex mattress and natural bedding company, which he has led from Byron Bay since 1981. With over 40 years of hands-on experience in natural sleep, organic materials, and bedding craftsmanship, Michael has dedicated his career to helping Australians sleep better through quality, chemical-free products. His expertise spans the full spectrum of natural sleep — from the sourcing and properties of GOLS-certified organic latex, to the traditional craft of handmade Japanese futons and the durability of solid American oak bed frames. Michael believes that what you sleep on directly affects your health, and that premium, naturally derived materials are the foundation of restorative rest. Based in Byron Bay, NSW, Michael continues to oversee every aspect of Zentai Living's product range, ensuring each piece meets the standards he has upheld for over four decades.
