Return policy

Overview

What is Wayfair’s general return policy?

We accept returns for most items within 30 days of delivery. The item(s) must be in its original, undamaged condition. If the packaging is too damaged, use a similar-sized box or one no longer than 108 inches. If the item was delivered disassembled, it should be returned disassembled. If packaging was removed as part of the delivery process, no packaging will be needed.

Additionally, if you are near a Wayfair store located in Wilmette, IL, Naperville, IL, Greensboro, NC, Attleboro, MA, Augusta, GA, Orlando FL, or San Marcos, TX, you can return your item in-store during store opening hours.

If your returned item is not received at our Returns Center, we reserve the right to reverse the refund. Please note that Wayfair does not accept returns at its warehouses.

What is Wayfair’s mattress return policy?

Every mattress comes with a 100-night free trial. If you don't love your new mattress within the first 100 nights, you can arrange a return for free to store credit, or to your original payment method for a fee ranging from $49-$99. This excludes Mattress Toppers, Crib Mattresses, Air Mattresses, and Open Box Mattresses. Some payment methods (e.g. financing payment options) might not be eligible for store credit refunds - if Store Credit does not appear as an option when setting up the return, this is likely due to your original payment method.

If your mattress arrived folded, please allow 48–72 hours for it to fully expand and take its proper shape. For all mattresses, we kindly suggest you continue sleeping on it for two more weeks. This allows your body the necessary time to adapt; initial discomfort is a common part of the process. If, after 20 days, you’re still not completely comfortable, we’re here to help with a return and to find you a mattress that’s a perfect fit.

How do exchanges work?

We don't offer direct exchanges of items but you can certainly return an item for store credit, and then place a new order for the item you want. We initiate a refund once the item has been received and checked at our warehouse. For store credit, this takes 24 hours from initiation, and 3-5 business days for refunds to the original payment method. You can either order your new item before returning the old one or wait until your refund has been received to place the new order.

Where applicable, your return ship fee will be automatically deducted from the refund amount.

Retailers selling mattresses in CT, RI, or CA must collect a state-mandated Mattress Recycling Fee from customers. The fee is based on your shipping address or postal code and can range from $10-$25. It applies to all mattress purchases in these states, regardless of whether you are recycling an old mattress. The fee is non-refundable, as mandated by state law, and is not subject to sales tax.

What is Wayfair’s large appliance return policy?

You can return a large appliance within 48 hours of delivery as long as it has not been installed and is returned in the original packaging. In some cases, you might have to pay the manufacturer's restocking fee.

Please take the following steps before installing the appliance:

1) Scan the box for damage.
2) Make sure the product name and model number match your order confirmation.
3) Remove the packaging and inspect the appliance.

If you receive the wrong item or it arrives damaged, don't accept the delivery. Tell your delivery representative(s) and contact us so we can arrange for a replacement. Once you have installed the appliance, it cannot be returned.

What is Wayfair’s extended return policy for holiday purchases?

For all items purchased between November 1 and December 31 (except Appliances as described above), the deadline to return them is extended until January 31.

• Open Box items

Will I have to pay for return shipping fees?

In order for Wayfair to provide free delivery and low prices, customers are generally responsible for the cost of return shipping. If return shipping fees apply, they will be deducted from your refund. The return shipping costs can vary depending on the location of the return, size and weight of the item, and selected return method.

In some cases, such as returns dropped off at a Wayfair store or select items that qualify for waived shipping fees when refunded as store credit —return shipping fees will not be deducted from your refund. (Please note that certain payment methods may not qualify for store credit refunds.)

Delivery shipping fees or service charges collected on the order will not be refunded.

If an order is returned because you refused delivery, the appropriate return costs will be charged and deducted from your refund.
