3. Can I return an item if I change my mind?

Yes. You may request a return within 30 days of delivery, provided the item:

  • Remains in its original packaging
  • Is unused and unassembled where applicable
  • Is complete and in the same condition as delivered

A 50% cancellation fee per item will apply as well as a collection fee.

4. Can I return an opened mattress?

No. For hygiene reasons, mattresses can only be returned if they are:

  • Unopened
  • Unused
  • In their original sealed packaging

This does not apply if the mattress is confirmed to be faulty or incorrect product.

5. Can I return an opened mattress protector?

No. Mattress protectors cannot be returned once the packaging has been opened, unless the item is faulty or incorrect product.

6. Can I return a made-to-order item?

Yes, provided it is returned within 30 days, remains in its original packaging and meets the return conditions.

Made-to-order items include:

  • Divan bases
  • Mattresses
  • Headboards
  • Ottoman storage boxes

A 50% cancellation fee per item will apply.

7. Can I return a clearance or ex-display item?

Clearance and ex-display items cannot be returned.

8. How do I return an unwanted item?

Contact us before arranging any return.

You can:

  • Arrange and pay for the return yourself, or
  • Ask us to arrange collection

If we arrange collection:

  • A £60 charge applies for the first item
  • An additional charge applies for each extra item
  • The total charge will be confirmed before collection

9. What happens if the furniture does not fit?

It is your responsibility to check that the item will fit through:

  • Doorways
  • Hallways
  • Staircases
  • Lifts
  • Tight corners and turns

If delivery cannot be completed because of access restrictions, a 50% cancellation fee per affected item will apply to the return.

Additional failed-delivery, collection or redelivery charges may also apply.

10. How do I cancel my order before delivery?

Contact us as soon as possible on 0333 366 0145 or email info@divanbasedirect.co.uk.

For standard made-to-order items:

  • Cancel within one working day and before manufacturing begins: 5% administration fee
  • Cancel after one working day or after manufacturing begins: 50% cancellation fee

Express orders are subject to a 50% cancellation fee, regardless of when cancellation is requested.

11. Can I cancel a delivery upgrade service?

Yes, but you must call us before 3pm on the working day before delivery.

A full refund may be available if:

  • You call before the deadline
  • The delivery route and timings have not already been finalised

Cancellations made after 3pm are non-refundable.

Email requests do not guarantee that the service can be cancelled in time.

12. What do I need to do before bed assembly or removal?

For bed assembly:

  • Make sure there is enough clear and safe space
  • Remove furniture or items that may block the team
  • Ensure the delivery route is clear

For bed removal:

  • Fully dismantle the old bed before the team arrives
  • Make sure each section is small enough to remove safely
  • The delivery team will not dismantle the old bed

13. What if the upgrade service cannot be completed?

The upgrade fee will remain non-refundable if the service cannot be completed because:

  • There is not enough space
  • The room is not ready
  • The old bed has not been dismantled
  • The sections are too large to remove
  • Access is unsuitable
  • The customer is unavailable

The fee covers the time reserved within the delivery team’s schedule, rather than only the successful completion of the service.
