Mattresses & Sizes

My memory foam mattress has a strong smell. Should I be concerned?

No. Vacuum-packed memory foam can have a temporary odour when first opened. Leave the mattress uncovered in a well-ventilated room and the smell should normally clear within 48 hours.

Are your mattresses fire safe?

Yes. Our mattresses comply with applicable UK fire-safety requirements and are supplied to the required safety and quality standards.

I placed an order but have not received confirmation. What should I do?

First check your spam or junk folder and confirm that the email address entered at checkout was correct. Shopify normally sends confirmation shortly after payment is accepted. If it has not arrived after a reasonable time, contact us with your name and order details so we can investigate.

Assembly Help

The gas pistons are not working after assembly. What should I do?

With each piston securely attached to the lifting arm and frame, place the bed in the raised position. Hold both sides and apply firm, even downward pressure until you hear a click, which indicates that the mechanism has engaged. If the problem continues, stop using the mechanism and contact us for help.
