NOTE: YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED IN ANY WAY
Laybrook 7 day money back guarantee is that you can use the bed for seven days after the date of delivery without worrying about packaging or returning the bed yourselves. If in the unlikely event you do need to send the bed back, we will collect it from you free of charge and a full refund given within the 7 day period after delivery (excludes “Special Orders” & Turning Bed Rentals).
- “Special Orders” are classed as anything different than shown on the website photographs and or states “Special Order” on the product page. We will exchange your mattress on the 7 night trial even with special order beds.
- Turning Bed Rentals are exempt of the 7-day money back guarantee as this is supplied on an independent rental contract.
- You can exchange your mattress free of charge for a firmer or softer feel within the 14-day period or you can upgrade your mattress at the standard charge for upgrades.
Mattress only purchases.
If you have purchased a mattress on its own without a bed, we offer a mattress exchange service, you must let us know within 14 days of delivery. No refunds are given on mattress only purchases unless they are unused, not been slept on and returned undamaged.
- Consumers 14-day statutory cooling off period for standard products is not affected.
- If the product has been opened and used you cannot send it back after our 14 night trial due to cross contamination. If you would like to keep those rights you must keep the packaging on the mattress and not soil or damage the bed and return within 14 days of delivery.

- Persons who visit our showroom still have the 14 day trial on the mattress(s) only. As you have tried the bed / mechanism, you do not get the trial on these. In home demonstrations are available, the cost would be £125.00.
- We try to go above the legal obligations we have as a company with our 7-day trial, as once a bed has been slept on, we do not by law have to take it back (due to cross contamination), we do this as a peace of mind offer on all standard beds. This excludes all Special Orders unless agreed in writing
Mechanisms -
All mechanism weight limits are specified. Standard mechanism 18 stone, Heavy duty Mechanism 25 Stone.
All mechanism weight limits – Not only should your weight be considered but the weight of the mattress you have chosen, your duvet, pillows, and anything else you may have on the bed. These should be included when working out the user weight limits. We recommend that your weight is 10-15% below the mechanism weight limit to account for additional items on the bed.
- If you have a Heavy Duty mechanism fitted into your bed. The weight limit is 25 Stone; however, this means that the weight must be distributed evenly across the mechanism e.g. 12.5 stone at the head end and 12.5 stone at the foot end of the bed including the weight of the mattress, duvet, pillows etc.
- If you have requested a specific height alteration for your new bed, please be aware there may be a tolerance of 0.5 of an inch either way.
