90‑Day Comfort Guarantee

It takes time for customers to adjust to their new purchase, so Gould’s offers a 90-Day Comfort Guarantee for mattresses*.

Terms:

If you are not completely satisfied with your comfort, Gould’s will gladly exchange your mattress for you. All that we ask is that you purchase a mattress covered in the program and a mattress cover with your original purchase, and that you advise us if you would like a change within 90 days of the original purchase. We require that you sleep on your mattress for a minimum of 21 nights before the exchange can happen.

Conditions:

Let us know within 90 days of the date of your original purchase if you decide to exchange your mattress. You don’t need to give us any reasons, as long as you bought and used a mattress cover, and that the mattress is not stained and is free of bed bugs.
