Stock Availability

The Company cannot always guarantee availability of stock. If we are unable to supply each and every Product ordered or in the quantities ordered, you nevertheless agree to accept and make payment for the items correctly supplied. Stocks of all goods on offer are limited. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to discontinue the offer as soon as stock is no longer available.  

In general the stock advertised on this site is held by the supplier, or manufactured with order, with a small amount being stored in the Bedworld Online warehouse.  For this reason all products are indicated as being “in stock”.  In the event that you need a same day or urgent delivery please contact us at info@bedworldonline.co.za to make sure we can meet your requirements before order.

Under no circumstances will the Company be liable to you for failing to supply Products ordered by you if the shortage of stock or capacity is due to circumstances beyond the Company’s control. In such circumstances the Company will take reasonable steps to inform you of the shortage of stock or capacity as soon as it is practicable to do so.

Confirmation of Orders

Orders placed on the Bedworld Online Site constitute your offer to purchase Products subject to this Agreement. Your offer is deemed to have been accepted by the Company when payment is received from the issuing bank in the case of payment via Credit Card, or when your payment reflects on the Company’s bank statement in the case of payment via EFT, or payment is reflected in the Company’s PayFast account. Failure by the Company to formally confirm or notify acceptance shall not affect the validity of the sale or the enforceability thereof.

Risk and Ownership

Risk in the Products shall pass to you upon collection of the Products at the dispatch outlet of Bedworld Online. Until payment is received in full for any goods sold, ownership in the Products shall remain with the Company.

Agreement of Sale

The Company reserves the right to:

  • refuse to accept and/or execute an order without giving any reasons; and

The Company shall only be liable to refund monies already paid by the user. A delivery fee will be charged each time Products are delivered to you.

Deliveries and Returns

Please see https://bedworld.co.za/delivery-and-returns/

Warranty and Guarantee

Each product at Bedworld Online has a warranty and guarantee applicable to that product as provided by the manufacturer.  In most instances these are displayed on the label of the product and the online product description.   The warranty and guarantee for each manufacturer can be supplied to the customer on request.  The warranty and guarantee does not include transport costs. 

Warranty

A warranty is a promise from the manufacturer to repair or replace goods if a defect occurs within a specified time period. With a warranty claim it is normal for a customer to contribute to the costs of the repair or replacement. This cost is calculated at a pro-rata rate according to the number of years that the customer has had the use of the product. 

The length of the warranty is not an indication of how long the mattress is intended to last.  

A warranty contains terms and conditions.  Your warranty can be invalidated if your product is misused or is not cared for properly.  Events that will invalidate your warranty include infestation by insects, burns caused by smoking in bed, the soiling or marking of the mattress, and damage caused by jumping on the bed.

Guarantee

A guarantee is a promise from the manufacturer to repair or replace a product if a defect occurs within a specified time.  The customer does not contribute to the cost of the repair or replacement in the event of a guarantee claim.  It is at the manufacturer’s discretion whether the product is repaired or replaced depending on the defect.  It is important to note that quality of workmanship is guaranteed, not your personal satisfaction with the level of comfort you have chosen.

As with a warranty the guarantee will lapse in the event of misuse or incorrect care of the mattress.  

The turn around time on a warranty claim is up to 15 working days.

List of Warranty and Guarantee time periods for Download

Clearance items are sold “as is” and are not covered by warranty or guarantee.

In the instance of Base Sets (mattress and base) the guarantee that applies to the base is separate from the mattress.  A base is considered furniture and will have a guarantee but not a warranty. The guarantee periods applicable to the different bases are detailed in the “warranty and guarantee periods” listed above.

COMFORT – PLEASE NOTE : Workmanship is guaranteed.  Satisfaction with the level of comfort chosen by you cannot be guaranteed.  This is a matter of personal preference and the guarantee/warranty only covers a factory fault with the product. 

Bedworld Online does offer a Comfort Exchange Policy on selected products, and only on these products.  These are clearly identified with the Comfort Exchange Icon on the product picture and in the product description.  To learn more about the COMFORT EXCHANGE POLICY see here.

Care and use of your Mattress

The following is important to note with respect to the care of and use of your product:

Mattress Weight Limitation

Every mattress at Bedworld Online has a weight limitation. These are clearly displayed on the website, and you can request this information on all products.  Please ensure that the mattress you purchase can support the weight of the persons that will be using the bed.  The longevity of the mattress will be affected if it is used by persons that are heavier than the weight limitation.  This can impact your guarantee / warranty as the product is not being used as designed, and could result in additional costs being incurred.

Mattress Protectors

It is important to keep your mattress in a hygienic and allergen free condition.  A waterproof mattress protector will prevent stains and marks on the mattress and keep it sanitary.  This is a condition of your warranty and it will be invalidated if the mattress is unsanitary. One of the main causes of the degradation of foam on a mattress is moisture.  Using a mattress protector will make your bed last longer.

Rotation and Flipping

The proper use and care of your mattress as per your warranty includes regular flipping and / or rotation.  A double sided mattress should be flipped every second month, and rotated head to toe on the alternate months.  A no-turn mattress should be rotated head to toe once a month.  This ensures that the mattress wears evenly.  If there are handles on your mattress these should only be used to position the bed. They are not intended to take the weight of the mattress and must not be used to lift the bed.  A mattress can be very heavy.  To avoid injury do not attempt to lift the mattress by yourself.

Body Impressions

It is normal for your mattress to get body impressions. This is especially true of premium mattresses.  The comfort layers of your bed are made from supersoft foam and fibres.  These are designed to mold to the curves of your body.  This is why the bed is comfortable.

With normal wear, body impressions form where you sleep.  These can be as deep as 4cm and a small mound may form down the center of the mattress. This is a sign that the bed is performing as it should, and is not a sign of sagging. Sagging is when the impressions are deeper than 4cms and/or you roll into the center of the mattress. It is only when this occurs that it is considered a defect and should be inspected by the supplier.

Bases

If your base is slatted and does not have a solid supportive surface, please ensure that the gaps between slats are no more than 30mm. Larger gaps can result in damage to the mattress and sagging. To remedy this your base should be fitted with hardboard of 5mm thickness.

If your base is broken or inappropriate (and was not purchased from Bedworld Online) resulting in damage to the mattress, your guarantee / warranty will be invalidated and will no longer apply.

 

Defective Goods

If the goods you have purchased are defective the guarantee / service warranty provided by the manufacturer will come into effect.

Bedworld Online is to be notified of the complaint by email sent to the address info@bedworldonline.co.za. Bedworld Online will facilitate that the relevant manufacturer conducts an inspection of the goods to determine what action is required.  The turnaround time for the resolution of a guarantee / warranty claim is between one and four weeks from time of notification.
