Terms and conditions

It's time for us to put on our best serious voice and take off our slippers as we get down to the legal stuff (you're welcome to keep your slippers on).

1. Information about us

1.1 www.loaf.com (formerly www.thesleeproom.com) is a site operated by Really Comfy Beds Limited. We are registered in England and Wales under company number 6455834 and our registered office is at Loaf, Unit 8, 69 St Mark's Road, London, W10 6JG. Our main trading address is Loaf, 255-259 Queenstown Road, Battersea, London, SW8 3NP. Our VAT number is 933 8864 82. You can email us here.

2. Service availability

2.1 Our site is intended primarily for use by people resident in the UK. We do however also accept orders from individuals resident in other, non-UK, European Union member states. Please note that our delivery and returns policies differ according to whether you are resident in the UK mainland, non-mainland UK or another European Union member state.

3. Your status

3.1 By placing an order through our site, you warrant that:

  • you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts
  • you are at least 18 years old
  • you are resident in either the UK or another European Union member state; and
  • you are accessing our site from the UK or another European Union member state

4. How the contract is formed between you and us

4.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us confirming that your order has been accepted (Order Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we send you this Order Confirmation.

4.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products whose order we have confirmed in the Order Confirmation. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the order of such Products has been confirmed in a separate Order Confirmation.

5. Consumer rights

5.1 This section 5. Consumer rights applies only to individuals who order from us. It does not apply to business or commercial customers or those individuals who purchase a Product for business or commercial use.

5.2 If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within 14 days, beginning on the day after you received the Products. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our Refunds and Returns Policy (set out in clause 11. Our refunds and returns policy below). The exception to this is if you have ordered a "Bespoke" Product (e.g. made-to-measure blinds) or "Customer's Own Material" Product (see 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 below) or if you have paid for storage (see 7.8 below).

5.3 To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing or by email or by telephone. In addition, the Products must be in the same condition in which you received them which means, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, that they must be in perfect resaleable condition and undamaged in any way, and the protective packaging must still be unopened on any mattress supplied to you for all mattresses purchased before 19 May 2017. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. You may also cancel your Order by completing our cancellation form which is available on request from here.

5.4 Details of this statutory right, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Order Confirmation. This provision does not affect your statutory rights.

6. Products and services

6.1 All descriptions of the Products on our site are correct at the time of publication on our site. We have a policy of continuous product development and reserve the right to amend the specification of Products without prior notice in relation to future sales.

6.2 The measurements of the Products are as accurate as possible, but are nevertheless approximate.

6.3 We may offer some of our products in bespoke sizes. The final dimensions of the finished Product will be within 2cm of the requested measurements.

6.4 Finishes are applied to the exterior of our Products. Due to the nature of the materials used, finishes may vary. All fabric used for Loaf products is hand dyed. Therefore shade variation can occur between different batches.

6.5 It is your responsibility to check that all the details on the order form are correct, including the exact specifications of the Products and delivery details.

6.6 Our Products are intended solely for domestic use in the UK and we give no guarantees or undertakings in respect of the use of our Products for commercial purposes. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, you agree that we are in no way responsible for any non-domestic or commercial use of our Products and that you have no rights to cancel this purchase if you are purchasing the Product in a business capacity (except in accordance with clause 11.6).

6.7 Details of our Castelan furniture protection scheme are available here. Separate terms and conditions apply here.

6.8 Stock availability and delivery dates provided on the website and subsequently communicated in any form are estimates and cannot be guaranteed.

7. Delivery

7.1 Either we or our nominated delivery partner will contact you to notify you when your Products are available and, subject to the separate terms (see 48. Terms and conditions : Orders delivered to an international shipping company) which apply to customers resident outside mainland UK or in other European Union member states, will arrange a date for delivery to the address specified by you.

7.2 Either we or our nominated delivery partner will deliver your Products to any UK mainland address (excluding Northern Ireland). The charges will vary, but will be indicated when you place your order. We reserve the right to require proof of identification from you when making a delivery to you.

7.3 You are required to take delivery on the date agreed between us, otherwise we reserve the right to charge you an additional redelivery fee. This payment will be due before redelivery.

7.4 Our delivery partner for large items (eg beds, sofas, mattresses, cabinets) will contact you to schedule a delivery date. They will provide an estimated delivery time slot approximately 48 hours before delivery, once the delivery route has been planned. If you cancel the delivery later than 8am on the day two days before your delivery date or if you are not available to accept the delivery when our delivery partner arrives at your address within the agreed time slot, we reserve the right to charge you for the cost of the delivery in addition to any delivery charge already paid.

7.5 For deliveries of large items (eg beds, sofas or mattresses) to any non-mainland UK address, our separate terms when using international shipping companies will apply (see 48. Terms and conditions : Orders delivered to an international shipping company) and our delivery charges are for delivering to the nearest mainland port. It will be your responsibility to arrange transport thereon. For deliveries of large items to any address in a European Union member state (other than mainland UK), we do not offer a delivery service. The transportation of your Products from the depot to your address will be your sole responsibility and at your sole cost. If requested, we will be happy to recommend third party providers of delivery services to you.

7.6 Time of delivery is not of the essence in these terms and conditions. We will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss of profits or other financial loss or damage suffered by you through any delay.

7.7 For deliveries of large items to addresses in mainland UK, our nominated delivery partner will exercise every caution and extend every courtesy during delivery and assembly. Neither we nor they can be held liable for any accidental damage to your property or person, however caused, and only enter your premises under these conditions.

7.8 Our nominated delivery partner will endeavour to deliver the purchased goods to you within 12 working days of them arriving in their warehouse. Failure for you to accept delivery of these items within 20 working days will result in our having the right to charge you storage charges at £10 per week for each large item (these are items which cannot be sent by postal carrier due to their size). Should you not wish to pay this we reserve the right to cancel your order and refund you accordingly. If you decide to cancel the contract in accordance with clause 5.2, any storage fees will not be refunded.

7.9 Our nominated delivery partner will use reasonable endeavours to deliver large items to a room of your choice. The room must be accessible to two delivery people either on the ground floor or via adequate stairs or elevator and without the need for mechanical lifting equipment. Delivery is always subject to the health and safety of the delivery personnel including manual handling guidelines and regulations as laid down by the Health and Safety Executive (www.hse.gov.uk).

7.10 At the time of delivery the Products will usually be unpacked and assembled. However we will not remove the outer packaging of any mattress which you may have ordered, unless asked to do so by you, as the mattress can no longer be returned by you once opened unless it is deemed defective (see 11.1 below) unless purchased after 19 May 2017. A signature will be required to acknowledge delivery. The signature of the person accepting delivery at the delivery address will be proof that you or the person to whom the order is addressed has received delivery.

7.11 You are responsible for checking the condition of the Products delivered and must highlight any issues upon receipt with the delivery carrier. The delivery carrier will direct all queries at this stage to us and we will agree a means of resolving the issues that are presented at this time.

7.12 Your Products will be constructed to the highest possible standards. Should you have any concerns prior to or following delivery please contact us on 0203 141 8300.

7.13 Our large item removal service (eg for beds, sofas and mattresses) is only available in mainland UK. Providing the service has been booked and paid for in advance, the delivery carrier will only take the item away if it has been disassembled by the customer beforehand, and if it is in a reasonably hygienic state and unlikely to contaminate.

8. Guarantees

8.1 The provisions of this clause 8. Guarantees apply in addition to your statutory consumer rights in relation to faulty or mis-described goods. These rights are not affected by the guarantee.

8.2 All mattresses purchased after or on 7 June 2019 have a 10-year guarantee from the date of delivery. Mattresses purchased before or on 6 June 2019 have a 5-year guarantee from the date of delivery. Our sofa, armchair and footstool frames are guaranteed for 10 years from the date of delivery. All other furniture is guaranteed for 1 year. This guarantee is against faulty workmanship and/or faulty materials, with the exception of fillings and coverings.

8.3 These guarantees do not cover fair wear and tear, neglect, abuse or misuse of your goods, loss or damage (including rusting and corrosion) due to unreasonable exposure to water, heat or weather; loss or damage due to fire, smoke, explosion, lightning, sunlight, infestation by animals or boring insects, damage by animals generally or theft, or accidental damage or loss caused by a third party. These terms also apply to our full range of standard mattresses (does not include zip-and-link or bespoke size mattresses) and our 100-night mattress trial, outlined in 11.8 and 11.9. If you are a consumer, this warranty is in addition to, and does not affect, your legal rights in relation to Products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau of Trading Standards Office.

8.4 In the event of a claim under guarantee occurring, please contact [email protected] giving your sales invoice number, your address, contact details and a summary of the problem with accompanying photos if requested. We will then notify you whether the claim is valid via telephone or e-mail within a reasonable period of time.

8.5 In the event of an accepted claim we will endeavour to repair the defective goods free of charge. If a repair is not possible you will be offered a replacement and only if a suitable replacement is not available will you be offered a refund.

8.6 We will not be liable for any direct or indirect loss of profits or other financial loss or damage arising out of defective, damaged or wrongly delivered goods, over and above the value of the actual goods themselves supplied by us. This does not affect your statutory rights.

8.7 Our guarantees are limited to goods sold and retained in mainland United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland) and used solely in private residences and not in commercial or rental properties.

9. Risk and title

9.1 The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

9.2 Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges (if any).

10. Price and payment

10.1 The price of any Products will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.

10.2 These prices include VAT but exclude any delivery costs which will be added to the total amount due as set out in our delivery charges.

10.3 Prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already sent you an Order Confirmation.

10.4 Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Product to you. If a Product's correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.

10.5 We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you an Order Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mis-pricing.

10.6 Payment for all Products may be made by personal cheque (which must be received and cleared before delivery), bank transfer, credit or debit card. We accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, Delta/Connect and Maestro. Purchases made by trade customers should not be made by credit card.

10.7 Products cannot be delivered until full payment has been received.

11. Our refunds and returns policy

11.1 When you return a Product to us:

(a) because you have cancelled the Contract between us within the 14 day cooling-off period (see clause 5.1 above), we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 14 days of the day on which we receive the Product back or the date on which you provide evidence of having sent the Product to us. For Large and Biggish items, we will refund the price of the Product minus a collection fee (£49 for large items, £29 for biggish items), provided that there is no evidence of use. The original delivery charge will not be refunded. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that these arrive with us as we do not accept liability for goods lost in transit. We will refund the delivery charge for returned small and medium sized items only if the entire order is returned. If we did not deliver the Product to you (i.e. if you are resident outside the UK mainland or in another non-UK European Union member state), our separate terms when using international shipping companies apply. (see 48. Terms and conditions : Orders delivered to an international shipping company)

(b) for any other reason (for instance, because you have notified us in accordance with clause 21 that you do not agree to any change in these terms and conditions or in any of our policies, or because you claim that the Product is defective), we will examine the returned Product and will notify you of your refund via telephone or e-mail within a reasonable period of time. We will usually process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day we confirmed to you via e-mail that you were entitled to a refund for the defective Product. Products delivered by us to you in mainland UK and returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, including a refund of the delivery charges for sending the item to you and the cost incurred by you in returning the item to us (if any). These charges and costs are to be agreed with us in writing in advance of you incurring them. We will only refund delivery charges where an entire order has been returned. Products not delivered by us (i.e. if you are resident outside the UK mainland or in another non-UK European member state) and returned by you because of a defect will be refunded in full, although you shall be responsible for the costs incurred by you in returning the Product to the depot from which it was collected.

11.2 We will usually refund any money received from you using the same method originally used by you to pay for your purchase.

11.3 Where you have ordered a product covered in your own material ("Customer's Own Material" is any material that is not part of our standard offering on our website), there will be a 55% restocking charge should you wish to return the item. The remaining amount will be refunded. We are not liable or responsible for the quality of the material being supplied, or the condition in which it arrives to you, although we will make every reasonable endeavour to ensure it arrives in good condition.

11.4 Bespoke Products (eg an item on our website that you specifically request to be altered in a certain way to suit your own requirements - such as a made-to-measure Roman Blind or mattress of differing dimensions to those shown on our website) are treated in the same way as Customer Own Fabric products in above clause 11.3. This is in accordance with the guidelines for tailor made items set out by the Consumer Contracts Regulation of 2014. Further information can be found on the Which? Consumer Rights website.

11.5 Once you have placed an order for either a Customer's Own Material product or a Bespoke product (e.g. made-to-measure Roman Blinds or bespoke-width sofas) the order may not be cancelled as per Clause 5 above since work may have been started on building these items.

11.6 We reserve the right to let business customers utilize the right in clause 5 above as well but this will be subject to our discretion and subject to them paying a restocking fee of 55% of the Product price. In this situation delivery charges paid will not be refunded.

11.7 Storage fees charged in accordance with clause 7.8 will not be refunded and any unpaid storage fees will be deducted from the amount of any refund.

11.8 From Friday 19 May 2017, we are running a 100-night mattress trial offer. We reserve the right to withdraw or change this offer at any time. Customers will be eligible for a return or exchange within 100 days of taking delivery of a mattress during the lifecycle of this offer. Each customer may only use this offer once. Any customer who purchases between Friday 19 May 2017 and the end date will be eligible for the 100-night trial regardless of whether Loaf has stopped the offer or not. Loaf reserves the right to change the terms of the offer or cancel the offer entirely. Any customer who purchases between Friday 19 May 2017 and the end date of the offer will be eligible for the 100-night trial regardless of whether Loaf has stopped the offer or not. After the first use of the right to return or exchange a mattress within 100 days of taking delivery, all subsequent returns and exchanges will revert to our standard terms and conditions as outlined in 11.1(a).

11.9 The terms and conditions outlined in 11.1(a) do not apply to any defect in mattresses arising from:

  • Wear and tear (including staining or marking)

  • Soiling of the mattress

  • Damage through wilful neglect, poor storage conditions (e.g attempting to fold the mattress or jam it in a cupboard) or misuse (please don't use it as a trampoline for your morning workout!)

  • Rusting or corrosion caused by exposure to water or weather

  • Damage due to fire, smoke or infestation by animals or boring insects

  • Alternations or repairs made by third parties not authorised by Loaf

  • for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
  • for any matter for which it would be illegal for us to exclude, or attempt to exclude, our liability.

  • loss of anticipated savings;
