By clicking the “Confirm + Pay” button on the checkout page, you enter into an obligation to pay for the Product(s) you have selected. If your payment is accepted by our third-party payment processor, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that we have received your order and payment has been authorised by your card provider. This does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a product and remains subject to acceptance by us. We are not obliged to accept your order and may, at our discretion, decline to accept any order.

If you discover an error and your item has not yet been dispatched please contact us immediately and we will make every effort to amend your order.

4. Trial Period

Because it can be difficult to tell if a mattress is a good fit without sleeping on it, we offer a 101 day trial period on mattresses offered on the Website (“Trial Period”). We strongly recommend that you keep the mattress for a minimum of 30 days before you make a decision either way.

The Trial Period will commence on the date your mattress is delivered to your home.

If for whatever reason you decide you no longer want to keep the mattress please notify us in writing by email including your name and order number. You must make your request for a return within the 101 day Trial Period. We reserve the right to refuse returns where the request is placed outside the Trial Period.

Only one trial period is allowed per household. We reserve the right to refuse multiple returns of Products made from same household.

5. Trial Returns

Condition of the mattress

A mattress must be returned to us in such condition that we could reasonably expect to resell it and we reserve the right to refuse a return based upon the state of the mattress.

We may refuse a return if the our opinion or the opinion of a third-party delivery company the mattress has tears, visible staining or soiling, damage which is not the result of standard wear and tear, or is malodorous. We inspect all returns at our warehouse after they have been returned. We may refuse a return after it has arrived at our premises but we will endeavour to inform you within 14 days of our receipt of the mattress if we have concerns about the condition of a returned Product.

We recommend the use of a mattress protector to ensure the mattress remains in good condition during and after the trial period.

Returns delivery

Any return during the Trial Period using our standard delivery service will be free of charge.

We aim to pick up goods within 14 days but this may vary depending on courier availability and your timing. If for reasons due to your availability we cannot collect your mattress within 30 days of your contacting us we reserve the right to refuse the return.

6. Refunds

We will refund you up to the amount that you have paid for the mattress. Refunds will be made to the same payment method or bank account originally used to place your order. If you ordered a mattress and paid extra for express delivery this additional charge will not be included in your refund. We endeavour to ensure that refunds are processed within 14 days from the date we receive the returned mattress.

7. Price

Product prices are displayed on our Website. The price of mattress Products includes applicable UK taxes as well as the cost of our standard white-glove delivery service.

We also offer a service to remove and recycle your existing mattress. This option may be selected during checkout or optionally on the day of delivery and is provided by a third-party delivery company.

Any payment for services related to your delivery that is not made via our Website ( for example payment for optional removal of your mattress on the day of delivery) constitutes a separate contract between you and a third-party delivery company for which we accept no liability.

All prices on the Website are subject to change. Any changes to pricing will not affect any orders which have already been dispatched.

We will not be liable for any delays resulting from your providing inaccurate or incomplete information.

We cannot deliver orders to PO Boxes. Delivery will require someone to sign for receipt of the mattress.

If you are unavailable to sign for the mattress you may instruct us to leave it in a safe location of your choosing. Once it has been delivered to your nominated location you will be deemed to have accepted delivery and any risk of harm or loss will transfer to you. We may refuse to leave the mattress in your nominated safe place if we consider the location unsuitable.

If the mattress is delivered to you at a location outside the UK it may be subject to inspection by customs and you are responsible for any fees and import tax.

Delivery into the premises

Please refer to the dimensions of the mattress to ensure that it will fit through the requisite doorways, staircases, passageways etc. Please also be sure that the mattress will fit in both its rolled and uncompressed states. We will not accept a return if we cannot remove the uncompressed mattress from your premises without damaging the mattress. Dimensions for our Products are provided on the Website however if you are in doubt and have questions please contact us at customerservices@owllark.com.

We are not responsible for moving any furniture or other items from of within your premises in order to deliver a Product. You must ensure that on the day of delivery nothing is obstructing the path to the room where you want the mattress to be placed. Please also safeguard anything valuable so as to avoid any accidental damage. This applies to the delivery of your Owl + Lark mattress, Trial Period returns collection, and the removal of your old mattress at the time of delivery if you have opted for this service.

10. Risk

Ownership of the delivered Product and risk will pass to you when you accept delivery.

11. Cancellation

If you need to cancel an order you must do so before the mattress has been dispatched. Please contact us directly and we will make every effort to stop the shipment.

If the mattress has already been dispatched when you contact us to cancel, you may send it back as a return under the terms of our Trial; we ask that if you do not intend to keep the mattress you leave it compressed and packaged for the delivery service.

You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the mattress during this period while it is in your possession. If when you cancel an order the mattress has already been dispatched you must not open it when it arrives. It should remain compressed and in its packaging.
