We are happy to give you a 60 day trial period to determine if the latex firmnesses are right for you. We understand that the only way to accurately decide if the latex firmnesses you picked out for your mattress are comfortable is if you sleep on them.

Exchange

Mattress sized natural latex slabs in original condition are accepted for exchange without a charge within the first 60 days after delivery. We can exchange latex between firmnesses: for example, upgrade a firm piece to extra firm or hard or downgrade to medium or soft.  Custom cut sizes may not be exchanged.

To emphasize: We will only accept piece that are in original condition, that means, no wool on them and certainly nothing else. Please tape off or use a lint roller on your piece before shipping it back.

Shipping Back

    1. Pick a box to use; if you can reuse the original box, do so.
    2. Latex is ridiculously good at collecting dust and any particles it touches.  When removing it from its ticking, make sure you place it on a fresh sheet or a freshly swept/mopped floor.
    3. Roll your slab up and secure the roll with something that will not cut the latex like saran wrap. If you have a full, queen or king piece, fold it in half before you roll.
    4. Slip the roll into a giant plastic bag, such as a leaf bag
    5. Stick the hose attachment of your vacuum cleaner in to the bag and just barely into the middle of your roll.
    6. Grabbing the bag around the hose securing with one hand, suck the air out. Your latex should shrink to about half the size.
    7. When latex no long shrinks, remove the hose with your free hand while the machine is running. Be gentle, as tearing the latex would keep the piece from being accepted back.
    8. Immediately twist the bag end to prevent air from entering and fold twisted part of the bag in half.
    9. Tape the folded twisted bag together. The twist and the crimp will keep the air from escaping. Tape the crimp a second time, tightening it as tight as it will go.
    10. Take out that saran wrap again and wrap your piece vertically and horizontally, covering all holes. Alternatively you could tape both ends of your bag up inside plastic sheeting, but you’ll find the plastic wrap method much easier.  Your goal is to confine the latex to its current size. The strength of the plastic wrap or the sheeting and tape will keep it from expanding during shipment. Wrap or tape around the top, middle and bottom as well as the ends.
    11. Now it is simple. Slip the latex in the box. Tape it up and label it. If you have 3+ layers of thick sheeting around the latex, you could forgo the box.
    12. You are responsible for paying the shipping back to us; it will cost between $30-$70 to ship a piece via USPS; we share our commercial rates with you below. Do package the slabs well though because the latex can tear easily if not protected from the rough handling it will receive in shipping. We will not be able to give you an exchange if the piece arrives damaged.

This charge covers both the shipping of the new piece of latex as well as the return shipping and UPS pickup of the unwanted piece.

Where it goes

The worthy pieces of latex you send back to us appear in the Clearance section as they are still good pieces of foam. They are labeled as being part of the Buy and Try program.
