The IKEA ‘Sleep on it’ mattress exchange policy
‘Sleep on it’ is our IKEA 365-night trial scheme for newly purchased mattresses. It takes time for you and your new mattress to get used to each other. That’s why we give you 365 nights to be sure you're compatible. So, after you’ve ‘slept on it’ a while, if you find it too firm, too soft, or too something else, you can exchange your mattress for another. Simply take your mattress back to any IKEA store with your receipt and one of our sleep experts can help you find one that suits you better. When you've found your perfect match, you can sleep easy for years to come with our free 10-year guarantee.
It may help to know, initially your new mattress can seem a bit too firm. Allow one month for your body to get used to the mattress and for the mattress to get used to your body. Roll packed mattresses regain their shape after 3-4 days of use. To get the best comfort you also need the right pillow. Make sure that you have a pillow that suits you and your new mattress. Mattress toppers can also be used to further enhance comfort and mattress protectors offer additional protection to extend the life of your mattress.
Terms and Conditions
- You may exchange your newly purchased mattress once within 365 days of the date stated on your valid receipt or order form if you don’t love it, provided that it is not dirty, marked or damaged and all care instructions have been strictly followed.

If you do not have your receipt or order number, IKEA may be able to help you locate it, but IKEA cannot guarantee that this will be located. If a valid proof of purchase cannot be presented, IKEA will be unable to honour the policy.
- Mattresses may be exchanged for another mattress of the same size only.
- The Sleep On It policy may not be used to exchange the mattress for a mattress of another size, or alternative items.
- If you would like to exchange your mattress for one of a higher value, all we ask is that you pay the difference between the original purchase price and the price of the replacement chosen. If the replacement mattress is lower in price, we will credit the difference to an IKEA refund card for you to use towards a future purchase.
- If a suitable alternative mattress cannot be found, no cash refund or cash alternative will be offered.
- All products are subject to availability and alternative mattresses will only be offered from those currently available to take away from the IKEA store or to order to your home.
- If you need us to collect the mattress, we will charge a collection fee of £25. Delivery fees for the new mattress may also be applicable. Delivery fees may vary depending on the size of the mattress and the delivery service chosen – please see delivery Terms and Conditions for more information.
