Both the warranties and guarantees are issued by the manufacturers themselves as they are put in place to protect against manufacturing faults. As the sellers of these products we are happy to assist in any way we can to get any issues sorted out between you and the manufacturers.

Yes. The manufacturers will need proof of purchase in order to process any warranty/guarantee claims. Keep your receipt, paperwork and the warranty & guarantee certificate that comes with your purchase. Leave all the mattress tags found on the mattress in place as they might have relevant information such as model number, date of manufacture etc.

Different warranty and guarantee periods apply to different product categories. Please refer to the product page for more information or speak to a consultant.

Your mattress must not have any signs of wear and tear. It must not have stains or dirty marks, rips, tears or any other damage that is not part of your claim. It must adhere to all the stipulations set out in the warranty/guarantee documentation.

If the fault occurs within the guarantee period, the manufacturer will repair or replace your defective mattress at no extra charge.

• In the event that your product needs to be repaired it will be collected and re-delivered at no extra charge.
• In the case of a replacement being issued by the manufacturer, the manufacturer will deliver a new product and pick up the defective one at no extra charge.
• In cases where the mattress needs to be delivered more than 100km from major metro areas, the customer will be responsible for the cost of delivery.

First read your warranty/guarantee certificate carefully to see if your claim is valid. then make sure that you meet the criteria set out (no stains, rips or damage caused by wear and tear). If you feel you have a valid claim, either contact the sales consultant who you dealt with or call our Customer Care department on 0860 25 35 45 or email hello@bedking.co.za .

It is important to consider who will be sleeping on your mattress. Is it a child, adult or elderly person? Is it for one person or two? Would you like the extra space afforded by a queen size or king size mattress? Do you suffer from back, neck or mobility problems? Speak to one of our Specialist Sleep Consultants who will advise you on exactly which mattresses fit your needs as well as your budget. They will assist you in the use of our Comfort Solutions Lab®, which utilises pressure-mapping technology to accurately determine your comfort and support needs.

Bed King offers an expertly selected range of beds and mattresses in South Africa, which includes our very own prestigious Comfort Solutions range and our vibrant Mewer range. Our Comfort Solutions and Mewer beds and mattresses are all manufactured of the highest quality materials available - offering you the support and comfort you deserve at the best prices. Find out more by visiting us in store or perusing our selection online.

A lower cost mattress is not necessarily less effective than a model costing three or four times as much, and a well known brand-name mattress is not always best suited to your needs. The most important thing to consider is what is right for you by getting the best advice on the products available and trying out as many as you need to.

A new mattress is much like a new pair of shoes; it takes a couple of weeks to settle in and accommodate your unique shape and size. Generally, that means that your mattress will become more comfortable over time while retaining its all-important support and comfort for your body.

Body impressions of up to 4cm are perfectly normal on your mattress ; these are layers which set and conform to your unique individual body contours. The layers of high quality upholstery are designed to compress with use and you will notice that they are more prominent in the morning, after sleep. Body impressions are not a structural defect and should not be confused with sagging. However, turning your mattress regularly will extend the life of your mattress.

First thing to do to take care of your new bed is to use a mattress protector to guard your mattress from dust, spillage, dust mites etc. Turning or rotating and vacuuming your mattress monthly will help it last longer. Never fold or bend your mattress, don't stand on it or allow children to jump on it and avoid bending the corners when putting on fitted sheets. Lastly, when moving your mattress - make sure to support the full weight and don't carry it by the seams.

Yes, if you are sleeping on an old mattress, you may not have even noticed that your quality of sleep has deteriorated. You may seem to be sleeping comfortably through the night, even though your body is not benefiting from the comfort and support it would get from the right support.

Yes you do in order to validate your warranty and guarantee certificate. We strongly recommend that all our customers make use of mattress protectors. They preserve and protect the mattress surface from stains and soiling, and are available from any of our stores.

You spend at least a third of your life in a bed. The more quality sleep you get the healthier and happier you'll be. That is why you should spend time choosing the right mattress for your unique individual needs. You don't need to understand the technical specifications and complexities of modern mattresses. Our Specialist Sleep Consultants will recommend a bed to fulfill your support and comfort needs by using our Comfort Solutions Lab®.

We recommend pairing matching bases with mattresses wherever possible as this eliminates support problems. During use, both mattress and base wear out together. The base provides support to the mattress but also the person sleeping on it - so it makes sense that when you buy a new mattress you should also buy a new base.

The best mattress for a child is one that will provide all the support and comfort that a rapidly growing little body needs. Your child will spend more time in contact with their mattress than anything else. A simple piece of foam may not be the most supportive platform. A child grows most during sleep and a good mattress will aid healthy bodily development, helping to prevent muscular-skeletal disorders in later life.

We offer you the opportunity to safely dispose of your old bed set. We will be happy to remove your old mattress set to be sent for charitable donation. We cannot, however, take bed frames, headboards or other furniture as these units may cause damage to items on the delivery vehicle. If you have any old furniture you would like to donate to charity, many charitable organisations will gratefully organise a home pick-up. Please note that we can only offer the mattress removal service when our delivery team makes the delivery, not a courier company. This service is therefore currently only available in Gauteng and Western Cape.

This will depend on the make and model of your mattress. You will find instructions on how to rotate /flip your mattress and how often you should rotate/ flip your mattress in your warranty certificate.
