MATTRESS GUARANTEE AND WARRANTY

Guarantees and warranties on mattresses are carried by the manufacturer and not by Decofurn.

A guarantee from the mattress manufacturer stipulates that they will repair and replace your mattress product at their expense within the guarantee period and under specific conditions. While the manufacturer may replace your product, it is up to their discretion whether they replace or repair it.

Should there be a manufacturer’s defect in your mattress within the guarantee period, the manufacturer will repair or replace your defective mattress at no charge. The guarantee does not cover problems such as dislike of a product, misuse, mishandling or a failure to meet requirements outlined in the product’s guarantee.

The mattress warranty is a Service Warranty. A Service Warranty is a promise to you by the manufacturers that a defect in your mattress will be repaired or replaced at a pro-rata cost depending on the mattress’ number of years of use. The manufacturer may decide to repair or replace the mattress at their discretion. During the warranty period, the manufacturer will contribute to the cost of the repair or replacement of your mattress on a pro-rata basis depending on how old the product is. Your mattress should be free from any user-related damage, such as stains, tears, rips, water damage etc. to claim the warranty.

The warranties and guarantees do not cover damage caused by an incorrect base or support, mattress rotation, misuse or mishandling or exceeding the recommended weight limits.
