How do I know if my item is in stock?

How do I get VAT relief on a product?

You pay without VAT and fill out a qualifying form to prove your eligibility.

Delivery
Do you deliver/install on a weekend?
We can arrange doorstep/kerbside courier deliveries for a Saturday, however engineer installations are only avaliable on weekdays (Monday to Friday).
When's the quickest I can get a bed?
We have large stock holdings of our beds, for all stocked items our next-day courier pallet delivery is the quickest option. This is where the bed is delivered as close to the property and you will be responsible for bringing the bed inside and assembling it. For next-day deliveries, orders need to be placed by 3pm and be in a mainland UK postcode. If you live in Scotland, Northern Ireland, remote and offshore we advise getting in touch as it may be longer
