Our Customer Service & Returns Policy
Beds4u pride themselves on the level of customer service they offer. They know the products inside out & only range merchandise from suppliers that meet a strict quality standard.
Bed & Mattress manufacturing is one of the few remaining industries where a high level of hand skilled workmanship is used. Within the mattress manufacturing process, various types of fillings are used, from man made fibres to traditional fillings such as wool & cotton, & modern day technology in the form of memory foam. latex & complex spring systems. A new mattress will need time to settle down, this is known as 'the settlement period'. During this time the mattress may show signs of flattening where you sleep or a soft ridge down the centre between couples. This is quite normal, & caused by the body weight pushing trapped air out of the fillings. A slight change in your sleeping position, regular rotation & turning (if applicable) will assist the general appearance & settlement of the mattress & its surface.
