Products must be returned to the Seller in the same condition they were in at the time of delivery and in their original packaging or similar.
6.9 Due to the intimate nature of Beds, mattresses, pillows, mattress protectors, sofa beds, living room sofa furniture, bedroom sofa furniture, or office sofa furniture, and others made with foam and or leather or fabric materials etc, these Products are exempt from the statutory 7 day cooling off period under the Distance Selling Regulations when they have been unsealed.

Where the Buyer has selected a fabric on a sofa bed, sofa, headboard or other similar Product or if a special size bed or mattress is ordered, or an altered or custom made design or specification to this Product is classified as a made-to-order Product. If a made-to-order Product is cancelled within a few days of placing the order we may be able to offer a full refund however if the Product has gone to production this may not be possible. If this is the case it is unlikely that the Seller will be able to sell it at full selling price therefore a cancellation charge will be deducted from the refund. This does not affect your statutory rights.
