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 the proper care instructions have not been followed, then the exchange will be refused. Care instructions can be found in the product information provided with the mattress.
A valid proof of purchase (a valid till receipt or IKEA order number) is required to exchange your mattress. 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.
The Sleep On It policy is valid on all full-size new mattresses only, but does not apply to children’s or cot mattresses, bed frames/bases, bed slats, mattress toppers or any other bedroom products.
The policy is valid for mattresses purchased through any IKEA store or online.
Exchanges can be requested at any IKEA IE store and through our Customer Support Centre.
Mattresses cannot be exchanged at IKEA Plan & Order Points or IKEA Order & Collection Points. See the store locator on the IKEA website for more information.
The policy applies to domestic use only.
IKEA reserves the right to withdraw or amend this policy as necessary or due to circumstances outside of its reasonable control.
IKEA reserves the right to refuse to honour the policy to anyone who IKEA reasonably suspects is acting in contravention with these terms and conditions or who IKEA reasonably suspects is acting contrary to the spirit of this offer.
This offer is governed by Irish law and the courts of Ireland have exclusive jurisdiction.
This policy and our guarantee do not affect your statutory rights.

FAQs

Disputes

In the event you have a complaint regarding a product or service purchased from IKEA, please contact us at [email protected].

In the unlikely event that our Customer Relations team are unable to resolve your complaint, and you are still not satisfied following the conclusion of our complaints handling procedure, you may refer your complaint to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission which maintains a list of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) entities. We will engage in this process in good faith with you as required.

Alternatively, if your complaint is regarding products or services purchased from IKEA.com and you are not satisfied with the resolution we have provided, the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform is available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.

Please note that following submission of your complaint on the EU platform, you will be directed to a listed ADR entity.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by Irish law and you and we both agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.

Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights. To find out more information contact your local Citizens Information Centre http://citizensinformation.ie.
