Free in-home demonstration, about an hour

Try the right massage product in your own home — free, with no pressure to buy.

A police-checked consultant brings a massage chair, therapy bed, pad or handheld massager to you, sets it up and gives you time to try it properly.

How the $25 card hold works

What you can try depends on which suppliers cover your postcode. We check before any hold is placed.

Why home beats a showroom

See whether it fits your body, your room and your routine — without transporting it or making a decision on the spot.

Three steps, and the decision stays yours

Book a window

Enter your postcode and pick a morning or afternoon window. A supplier accepts your request, and your visit is confirmed when they do. We email you as soon as a supplier accepts your visit.

Receive visitor details

We email you the consultant's name and company as soon as a supplier accepts your visit, and again the day before. You are welcome to have a family member or friend with you.

Try it and decide later

The consultant sets up, you try it, and they pack up and leave. Nothing to sign on the day.

Safety and control

Who is coming, how they are checked and what you can do if something is not right, all in one place.

Who is coming?

We email you the consultant's name and company as soon as a supplier accepts your visit, and again the day before.

You are welcome to have a family member or friend with you for the whole visit.

How are consultants checked?

Suppliers confirm that each consultant holds a current national police check before they can take bookings.

What are consultants allowed to do?

The no-pressure code: demonstrate the equipment, answer your questions, pack up and leave.

Nothing to sign on the day.

Who handles a complaint?

Email us at any time. A person reads every message, and if a consultant pressured you the supplier receives no further bookings from us while we look into it.

Write to hello@hometrials.com.au and we reply the same business day, Monday to Saturday.

Who runs HomeTrials?

HomeTrials arranges free in-home demonstrations by independent Australian suppliers. We do not sell the products.

HomeTrials is free for households. Your booking details are shared only with the participating supplier that accepts your visit.

What you can try at home

Most people start with a handheld massager or a pad, then move up to a chair or bed if they want more. Availability depends on your postcode, and we check it first.

About the $25 card hold

A consultant might drive an hour or two, with a chair or bed in the van, to reach you. When someone isn't home, that's a wasted afternoon and it pushes up the cost for everyone. The hold is a way of confirming you'll be there.

  • $25 authorisation only. You pay $0 when you attend.
  • Free cancellation or rescheduling with 24 hours' notice.
  • Your bank decides when the pending amount clears, which can take a few business days.

Five questions people ask before booking

Is it really free?

Yes. The visit, delivery and setup cost nothing. The only thing on your card is a $25 hold that's released when the consultant arrives. HomeTrials is free for households. Your booking details are shared only with the participating supplier that accepts your visit.

Will I be pressured to buy?

No. Consultants are asked to demonstrate, answer questions and leave. If anyone pushes you, tell us and they won't get another booking through us.

Who exactly is coming to my house?

A consultant from an approved Australian supplier. We email you the consultant's name and company as soon as a supplier accepts your visit, and again the day before. You can have someone with you.

What if I need to cancel?

Use the change-or-cancel link in your confirmation email, or reply to it. With 24 hours' notice there's no charge at all.

What do you do with my details?

HomeTrials shares your booking with one participating local supplier so they can arrange your visit, and does not sell or share it beyond that — unless you separately tick the box to receive product guides, offers and updates by email, which you can unsubscribe from at any time.
