Pre-ordering products
If the product you want to buy is out of stock, you can pre-order it:
- Order the product from the product page. Payment will be processed once you have placed the order, not at a later stage.
- If you have ordered other products, these will be sent out once the reserved product is back in stock. So you will receive the whole order in one delivery.
- We will email you with an approximate delivery date and keep you up to date by email with any changes. If we are unable to fulfil your pre-order for any reason, we will offer you a refund or replacement product.
60 night trial - duvets, egyptian cotton bedding & linen bedding
If you don't love your duvet or bedding, return it within 60 nights of your purchase and we'll give you a full refund. After all, you do spend a third of your life in bed so we understand just how important it is to have the right bedding!
The details:
- Please return your duvet / bedding in good condition and if possible in the original packaging.
- Only one duvet / bedding return or exchange within a 60 night period per household.
- Further duvet / bedding purchases can only be returned if they are unused, unwashed and in the original packaging - within 30 nights.
- Clearance duvets and bedding are not included in the 60 night trial and are not returnable.
Returned products are only sold in our clearance sales
60 night trial returned duvets and bedding are not re-sold as new. We carefully inspect returned duvets and bedding and, if they are in good enough condition, we sell them in our regular clearance sales. We aim to recycle and send all returned duvets and bedding to a good home if possible.
