90 Night Trial

All mattresses sold by Ideal World Limited (“Ideal”) are supplied with a “90 Night Trial”. Ideal agree to extend your right to cancel your order of a mattress for up to 90 days (commencing on the day of delivery to you) and will refund any monies paid (excluding postage and packaging costs) after we have collected the mattress and we have received it back.

For customers to benefit from this 90 Night Trial offer we ask that you unpack and check your mattress as soon as possible after it has been delivered. Please remove the mattress from its box, carefully remove all polythene wrapping and allow the mattress to unroll in an adequate space. Please retain the polythene wrapping in case you wish to return the mattress to us.

Allow at least 24 hours for the mattress to take shape in a warm room. Once opened there may be a “new foam” smell which should dissipate within a few days. We would recommend that you fit a clean mattress protector to the mattress before sleeping on it.

Sleep on your mattress for up to 90 nights.

If you are happy with your purchase please dispose of all the packaging in a responsible manner and recycle if possible.

If you're not happy with your mattress, please contact our Customer Experience Team within the 90-day period and a member of our team will arrange for the mattress to be collected from you free of charge. If there is a fault with your mattress please refer to the Damaged/Faulty section in our returns policy.

Mattress Care

When you receive your mattress, we recommend you open it straight away. Mattresses that are kept in their packaging for extended periods may not recover to size when opened.

Remove all the packaging and give the mattress 24 hours to recover to size and air in a warm ventilated room. Any 'New Foam' odour will dissipate within a few days.

We recommend you use a mattress protector with your mattress, it'll keep your mattress in good condition by protecting it from stains and, in turn, extend its life.

Our Mattresses are 'No Turn' but can be rotated if required.

Our Mattresses can be used with Bed Frames and Divan Bases. Please ensure you buy the correct mattress size for your bed.

If you have an electric adjustable bed, please check with the bed manufacturer/retailer that the mattress is suitable.

Memory foam is temperature sensitive and any excesses of temperature will affect the comfort of the mattress. Please don't allow your mattress to get too cold or too hot as the memory foam will harden. Don't position your mattress against a radiator.

Mattresses are designed to be slept on. Don't allow your bed to become a trampoline. Jumping on the bed will cause damage to the mattress structure and core.

If you have to move the mattress, always carry it flat or on its side. Never drag or fold the mattress to transport it as this will damage the cover and the core of the mattress.

If you have to store a mattress away, always store the mattress flat, and do not attempt to bend or twist it. Always store in a warm dry, clean environment.

We may make a deduction from any refund for loss in value of any Goods as the result of any unnecessary handling by you. You must take reasonable care of the Goods and you must return the goods (including Paperwork, links, instructions and box as applicable). The goods must be in their original condition.

DO NOT remove any security or brand tags

You acknowledge that the removal of any product, security and/or brand tags will affect the value of the Goods and that its absence or damage to it, will reduce the value of the Goods. If you return the Goods with a missing or damaged security/ brand tag or paperwork, we will make a reasonable deduction to the sum refunded to you not exceeding 25% of the purchase price.

Returned goods will be inspected by our returns management team and you will incur a charge for any work necessary if the returned goods are found to be damaged or otherwise compromised from you handling the goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods e.g. if tags have been removed.

Sewing Machine Problems?

If you are having an issue with one of the machines listed below, and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Services Team on 0330 3321300 in the first instance.

All products that are free with the purchase of a product or service, are considered a part of the overall contractual agreement made at the time of purchase, unless otherwise stated.

Where products purchased were part of a bundle or had a free item associated with the sale, all products must be returned. If you do not return all of the items associated with the purchase (e.g. free items) then the cost of these items will be removed from the refund paid back to you. The value of those items removed from the refund will be calculated at the price relevant at the time of your purchase.

If the product has been sold as a bundle offer then all parts must be present for the return to be completed. If all parts are not received then the return may be rejected and returned back to you or the value of the missing parts removed from your refund, the value of the parts will be based on the individual price of the items at the time of your purchase or as a percentage of the overall product cost that was paid.
