  3. you may agree to accept a partial refund or a reduction in the purchase price as an alternative solution if we are in a position to propose the latter.

21.3  In instances where the fault cannot be determined through the aftersales procedures and the images do not show any visible fault or defect with the mattress, we will

  1. arrange an independent inspection by an industry-regulated third-party service technician (free of charge for the customer).

  2. decide if and what further action needs to be taken based on the report's written outcomes.

22.3 The Guarantee Works As Follows:

22.3.1  We have all our mattresses built to our precise specifications, and therefore we can personally guarantee each model for a period of time. The mattresses come with a manufacturer's guarantee against faults in materials and poor workmanship (including sagging). The warranty covers any visible indentations more than 2cm deep.

22.3.2  Any warranty complaints will be subjected to the following: 

  1. We require a copy of the original sales receipt as proof of your purchase

  2. Our mattress guarantee covers repair or replacement of the original mattress; i.e., if the product is declared faulty, we will not issue a refund but will repair or replace the product accordingly

  3. Following a replacement or repair, the guarantee will remain valid from the date of the original purchase

  4. The guarantee is valid from the date of the original purchase, is for your benefit as the original purchaser only, and is not transferable to any other person

  5. If you sell or transfer your mattress, the subsequent owner accepts the product “as is” and has no rights to claim under the guarantee

22.4  What is Being Provided?

We offer repair or replacement services for defective products within the guarantee period, and if the product is unavailable, we provide an equivalent product of equivalent specification.

22.5  What is Not Being Covered?

  1. Wilful damage and neglect: Your mattress should be looked after and cared for. A mattress protector should be used at the very least. We will not entertain any claim if the mattress shows obvious signs of mistreatment.

  2. Normal ageing or wear and tear, including mattress settlement and “dipping” less than 2cm.

  3. Noises caused by the use of the mattress.

  4. A tear in the fabric, which can be caused by accidental damage such as the fabric catching some sharp object, will not invoke the warranty as this is not a manufacturing fault or defect.

  5. The mattress has not been maintained in accordance with the care instructions supplied.

  6. Repairs carried out by persons not authorised by us or without prior approval.

  7. Shrinkage of the mattress cover caused by washing or dry cleaning.

22.6  We do NOT provide a temporary mattress while your mattress is being repaired or replaced under warranty. We will work diligently to expedite the repair process to reduce the time you are without your mattress. In the interim, we recommend considering using a guest bed, an air mattress, or any other temporary bedding solutions you might have available. 

22.7  Latex Sense may refuse warranty repair or replacement for damaged mattresses due to bed bases with inadequate slat gaps, second-hand foundations with insufficient support, or unsanitary conditions. However, we will use our discretion to see if any valid complaint is justified.

23  General Care Instructions

The care instructions provided are general for all products, with individual instructions outlined at the bottom of each listing and FAQ section. Please refer to your specific product when needed.

23.1  Status of the goods upon delivery

Latex Coir and Latex Coir Dual Comfort Mattresses are delivered in a flat, full-size box. The rest of the mattresses and toppers are vacuum-packed and rolled. This ensures product hygiene, quality in transit, and improved delivery timeframes. The product is carefully vacuum-packed on the day it is being shipped to you. We use one of the newest and most innovative packing technologies in the bedding industry; it neither damages nor impairs the performance of the mattress topper.

23.2  Storing your mattress or topper and how to handle it

  1. Please be kindly advised that we do not recommend storing the product in a rolled and vacuumed state for more than 4 weeks, as this will damage it.

  2. Take it out of the box and put it on top of your existing mattress.

  3. Carefully cut the tape that holds the roll together and unroll the mattress while it is in its polythene bag, take extreme care so as not to damage your item.

  4. It will still be compressed, and you need to cut the bag closer to the heat seal. Take extra care, as the tool you use can damage the cover.

23.3  Sleeping on the mattress or topper

The product recovers to its full shape and size after unpacking; please allow up to 12 hours for the optimal balance to be reached. However, since it is not a mandatory requirement, you can begin using it right away.

23.4  Identifying the top side of your mattress or topper

  1. The side with the big product sticker attached to the cover is the top side, the side you sleep on. There is no head or foot end; you can position it either way and still experience its full benefits. 

  2. All toppers feature straps designed to attach securely to the mattress, ensuring the topper stays in place without shifting during use. 

23.5  Moving and manoeuvring your mattress or topper

  1. Take extreme care while moving the product, as the foam fillings can tear if grabbed or pulled on corners or edges.

  2. All toppers and some mattress models are two-sided; you can turn them over and rotate them from head to toe once every month; this will ensure even wear and tear and prolong their lifespan.

  3. One-sided mattresses can be rotated from head to toe once every month; the latter is strongly recommended.

  4. Do NOT let children jump on the product; it may damage it and invalidate your guarantee. The product is designed for sleeping on; therefore, prolonged sitting on the edge can cause damage and place undue stress on this area of the product.

23.6  Cleaning your mattress or topper

  1. The topper and mattress covers are NOT washable.

  2. The product must be kept dry; therefore, we strongly advise using a good-quality waterproof mattress protector at all times.

  3. The zip on the cover is solely used during production to easily place the cover on the product.

  4. We do not recommend removing and washing the cover; if you do, it is at your own risk, and we will not be held liable for any damage or shrinkage resulting from the washing of the cover.

  5. The product cover can be cautiously vacuumed, including the underside.

  6. In the event that you spill liquid on your mattress or topper and it gets wet, spot clean any stains with a damp cloth, carefully unzip and remove the top panel of the cover to naturally dry until the liquid is evaporated, and then air the latex core until it is fully dry. The product can then be used again.

  7. Never use detergents or chemical cleaners on your mattress or topper. This can adversely affect not only the fabrics but also the fillings inside.

23.7  Bed base requirement as foundation for the mattress

Latex Sense reserves the right to refuse warranty repair or replacement if a new mattress becomes damaged due to being used on a bed base with inadequate slat gaps, a second-hand bed foundation with insufficient support, or if it is in an unsanitary condition. 

  1. All mattresses but Latex Coir and Latex Coir Dual Comfort Mattresses can be used on any bed base—solid top divan, sprung edge divan, solid slatted, or sprung slatted base.

  2. The gaps across the slats should be between 2 and 3 inches wide (5 cm to 7.5 cm). Using the mattress with a wider gap could cause damage and invalidate your guarantee.

  3. Do NOT use the mattress on the floor; the lack of ventilation may lead to mould and mildew build up and invalidate your guarantee.

23.8  Bed base requirement as foundation for Latex Coir and Latex Coir Dual Comfort Mattresses

Latex Sense reserves the right to refuse warranty repair or replacement if a new mattress becomes damaged due to being used on a bed base with inadequate slat gaps, a second-hand bed foundation with insufficient support, or if it is in an unsanitary condition.

  1. These mattresses can be used with any durable and high-quality bed platform that provides adequate support, such as a solid top divan, a sprung edge divan, a slatted base, or a sprung slatted base.

  2. The gaps across the slats should be between 2 and 3 inches wide (5 cm to 7.5 cm). Using the mattress with a wider gap could cause damage and invalidate your guarantee.

  3. Do NOT use the mattress on the floor; the lack of ventilation may lead to mould and mildew build up and invalidate your guarantee. Please note that the mattress is not compatible with adjustable bed bases. 

23.9  Mattress and bed-base requirements as foundations for the topper

Latex Sense reserves the right to refuse warranty repair or replacement if a new topper becomes damaged due to being used on an indented mattress or bed base with inadequate slat gaps (greater than 3 inches), a second-hand bed foundation with insufficient support, or if the topper is in an unsanitary condition.

  1. The mattress needs to be intact and provide a solid base for the topper. Please note that latex is quite a dense and heavy material and follows the contours of the mattress underneath.

  2. If there are any indentations on the mattress surface, they will also be present on the topper.

  3. In traditional mattresses with a hand-tufted finish, the tufting technique will create a contoured surface, and the topper will conform to its natural shape. 

  4. Do NOT use the topper on the floor; the lack of ventilation may lead to mould and mildew build up and invalidate your guarantee.

  5. Please keep packaging away from children. Please recycle or dispose of the packaging.

  6. If you require further advice, please contact us at 0208 450 7662 or HERE.
