Products

What is a rolled mattress?
A: A rolled mattress is simply a mattress that has been vacuum-packed and 'rolled' to fit into a box. They offer the same levels of durability and comfort as a normal mattress and will return to their original condition once opened.
Will my bed look exactly like the images?
A: All images available on our website indicate the product that you will receive, though there may be some slight ticking and colour variations due to the difference in screen resolutions between screens.
Why is my bed not the same size as the dimensions specified?
A: The actual dimensions of your bed may be a little larger than the dimensions specified on site - this is because most beds will measure their size in terms of the size of mattress that will fit onto it. Some beds may be bigger than the specified dimensions due to the need for your mattress to fit securely into the frame while providing enough space to help accommodate bedding and rotating or flipping your mattress.
How long does it take for my mattress to settle?
A: All mattresses usually take up to 6 - 8 weeks approximately to settle to their specified tension, as they take time to contour to each sleeper's body.
How often do one-sided mattresses need to be rotated?
A: The one-sided mattresses need to be rotated (so the head end becomes the foot end and vice versa) every week during the first six weeks; after that, every six weeks.
Why does my mattress have a strange odour?
A: The natural fillings and the foam in some mattresses may give out an odour for the initial six weeks. When your mattress is delivered, let it air in a well-ventilated room until the smell subsides.
How long does it take for a vacuum-packed mattress to expand?
A: Please allow 4 hours for its initial expansion when opening a vacuum-packed mattress. The mattress is okay to use after this period; however, it will continue to expand (to a lesser degree) over the following 72 hours. Any odours from the packaging will be eliminated in the process.
How often do two sided mattresses need to be flipped and rotated
A: The zonal support two-sided mattresses must be flipped over (so the sleeping surface is changed) every week during the first six weeks and, after that, every six weeks. The other two-sided mattresses must be flipped and rotated every week during the first six weeks and every six weeks after that.

Please get in touch with us within 30 days of delivery if you believe your item has a manufacturing fault. If we find that the Manufacturer's Guarantee covers the product, we will arrange to send you a replacement for the damaged part or, if necessary, a complete replacement. You may also be able to receive a refund for the price of the faulty product. However, this is dependent on our Manufacturer's Guarantee.

Manufacturer's Guarantee

What does the manufacturer's guarantee cover?
A: This guarantee covers defects in materials and craftsmanship in the components of a Happy Beds product during normal domestic use only. It also covers the deterioration that causes the mattress to have a visible indentation or sag equal to or larger than 2.5 inches (6 cm), as long as that indentation or sag has not resulted from the use of the mattress on an unsuitable surface. Other acceptable classification of the deterioration of mattresses includes any physical flaw in a mattress that causes the mattress material to split or crack. The guarantee is still valid as long as the mattress has only been used for normal domestic use and has not been handled improperly. Regarding Happy Beds bed frames, divan beds, furniture, etc, the guarantee covers any fault or where the product has been used appropriately in domestic use.
What is a manufacturer's guarantee?
A: Unless otherwise stated in the product description, a five-year guarantee is provided with each product bought after 1 July 2016, with a one-year guarantee for purchases made before this date. Ensure all labels are intact and not removed, which may void the warranty. This guarantee covers defects in materials and craftsmanship in the components of a Happy Beds product during everyday domestic use only per Happy Beds Terms and Conditions and the law.
What doesn't the manufacturer's guarantee cover?
A: The guarantee is void if the product is found to have been mistreated/damaged; this includes splits, burns, breakages, spillage and stains. This also applies if the product has not been maintained/cared for by the care instructions advised, including failing to use furniture pads on non-carpeted surfaces, the turning of mattresses where applicable, an average increase of the softness of the mattress or any other use of the product other than for everyday domestic purposes. Our general Terms and Conditions describe what conditions should be met so that the mattress has the tension displayed on the product page. Our product pages describe and show the product as accurately as possible. Please note that the resolution, colour settings and other characteristics of the device where the product page is viewed may cause the product to look slightly different online than in reality.
When does the manufacturer's guarantee become void?
A: Unfortunately, the guarantee is made void for any product that has been altered. This includes all products, but an example of one being 'altered' would be a bedframe with a hole drilled through it. The guarantee is also void for products sold by a reseller, used by someone other than the owner making a claim, or any product sold 'as-is', 'preconditioned', 'reconditioned', 'used', 'returned', 'previously owned', or any other similar wording indicating that the product is not 'new'.
When does the manufacturer's guarantee start and finish?
A: The guarantee starts on the product's delivery date and finishes at the end of the 5th year from that date. All damage must be reported within 24 hours of occurrence. Failure to do so will result in you being unable to claim your five-year guarantee. Please only dispose of the item once we have either accepted or declined your claim according to our manufacturer's guarantee terms.
What do I need to make a claim?
A: Most or all of the following are requested to make a claim: images/videos showing the defect, measurement of indentations/sags, weight of product user(s), claimant name and address, order number, a complete description of the complaint, and type of surface the mattress has been used on (if a mattress is claimed to be faulty).
What happens if the product is not covered the manufacturer's guarantee?
A: If the guarantee does not cover the product, we will ask you if you would like a replacement product sent to you (at your cost).
What else is considered mistreatment of a product?
A: This includes using a mattress without bed linen, subjecting the product to excessive wear and tear (such as sitting on a mattress edge for a long time), using the incorrect side when sleeping on a 'Non-Turn' mattress, using a mattress on an old or unsuitable base (or a surface for which it was not designed), rolling or bending a mattress, improper assembly of a bed frame, divan bed base or headboard causing any part to split or break overloading the drawers in a bed base. Overloading may cause distortion or damage to the drawers and cause them to jam. Therefore, mini drawers should be loaded at most 7 kg, and standard drawers 15 kg.
