The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you the Dispatch Confirmation.

6.2 If we are not notified within 14 days of you receiving the Products the order cannot be cancelled.

6.3 Due to the nature of the bulk of our Products, including for health and hygiene reasons, once the packaging has been opened you will not have any right to cancel a Contract for the supply of beds, mattresses, pillows, mattress protectors, mattress toppers, duvets etc. as these Products are exempt from the statutory 14 day cooling off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2014.

6.4 For the avoidance of doubt, Products such as beds, mattresses, pillows, mattress protectors, mattress toppers, and duvets which have been opened will be deemed to have been used and cannot be returned for any reason other than a manufacturing fault.

6.5 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing by sending an email to customerservice@memoryfoamwarehouse.co.uk. You must also return the Product(s) to us immediately at your own cost and risk or you must make the products available for immediate collection which we shall arrange at your cost and risk.

6.6 The Products must be returned in the same condition in which you received them with the packaging unopened. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

6.7If the Products are in transit and you wish to cancel the order, you will be responsible for the carriage fee. This fee will be deducted from your refund with a maximum shipping charge of £50.

6.8 This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

9.3 Prices exclude delivery costs, which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our Delivery Details page.

9.4 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you a dispatch confirmation.

9.5 Our site contains a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the product to you. If a product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

9.6 We are under no obligation to provide the product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a dispatch confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

9.7 All orders must be paid for in full at the time of ordering. Payment for all products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with all major credit/debit cards with the exception of American Express.

 

10. Our refunds policy

10.1 When you return a Product to us:

(a) Because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the seven-day cooling-off period (see clause 6.1 above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of receipt by us of the unopened products. In this case, we will refund the price of the products in full, including any cost of sending the item to you. However, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us and this cost shall be deducted from any refund owing to you.

(b) for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with paragraph 24 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective product. Products returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us.

(c) Please allow for a 2cm tolerance on the sizes of the foam products. A 2cm variance in the size in memory foam is perfectly normal depending on conditions and room temperature, and as such is not considered a fault. It should also be noted that a tolerance of +/- 5mm on the depth of foam products should be allowed, and as such is not considered a fault. With regards to weight a 10% tolerance should be allowed for. It is also normal for new foam products to have an odour when first opened. This odour will clear gradually of its own accord if the cover is washed and the mattress is allowed time to air between uses. Products with an odour will not be exchanged.

10.2 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase

10.3 If you return a product to us which was supplied as a substitute because the product originally ordered was not available we will cover the cost of returning the product.

 

11. 200 night trial

11.1 To ensure our customers are perfectly happy with the comfort of their new mattress we offer a 200 night trial period on the majority of our mattress ranges.

11.2 Within 200 days of delivery should you not be entirely happy with your mattress you can contact us to make a request to exchange it for a mattress of the same size, and of equivalent or higher value.

11.3 The 200 night trial applies to stock mattresses only and excludes all mattresses from the Stock Clearance, Essentials and Children's ranges. Bespoke mattresses, divan bed bases, bed frames, mattress toppers, cot mattresses, bunk beds, pillows and all other bed and bedding products are also exempt.

11.4 All trial period exchanges are limited to one exchange per transaction.

11.5 The 200 night sleep trial is valid for new orders placed from 7th February 2023. 100 night sleep trial is valid for orders placed prior to this date.

 

12. Guarantees

12.1 All our Products are covered by a minimum 12 month guarantee. Many of our lines have a 5, 10, 15 year and Lifetime warranties, where should an item fail we will replace it based on the length of time the item has been in use (e.g. manufacturing faults after 3 years are replaced at a cost to the customer of 30% of the retail price of a new mattress). Further details of any guarantee and/or warranties which are available can be found on our guarantee page.

12.2 Please note that soiling and damage, either malicious or otherwise, invalidates the guarantee/warranty, and as such the use of a mattress protector is highly recommended.

12.3 In the unlikely event that following purchase you find the same specification mattress for less we will refund the difference in price. Please note that the compared product needs to be new, readily available in the UK and priced delivered to a consumers address.
