We all have a change of heart every now and again.

Our customer service team can be contacted Monday to Friday 9am to 5.30pm (exclusive of bank holidays) and will be happy to assist you in your request to alter your order.
Please be aware that changing your order may result in a change in your estimated delivery date/lead time, as well as an increase or decrease in the price you have been quoted. It is important to note that changes to your order can only be made prior to delivery.
Please also be aware that the ability to change your order will depend on how far into the production process your item/s are.
Q. Can you tell me the availability of a specific item?
Before selecting a product to buy, you will see an indication of whether we have that item in stock or not. Offering such a large selection of sofas, beds and furniture means it is impossible to hold stock of everything and so our products will have varying lead times. Bespoke, made to order items may require longer lead times. Please be aware that this information can change daily. Solent Beds cannot be held responsible for delays beyond our control. Lead times are in no way guaranteed and are based on information given to us by our suppliers. We will of course endeavour to inform you of any changes in the time originally given at point of sale.
If you would like to enquire further about the availability of a specific item, please email sales@solentbeds.co.uk or contact us via the Live Chat.
Q. Where is my order?
If you wish to check the status of your order, please email sales@solentbeds.co.uk or contact us via the Live Chat.
Q. Do we price match?
Yes, we do! Please view our Price Match Promise page for details. Please email sales@solentbeds.co.uk or contact us via the Live Chat for more information.
Q. What if my order is late?
We will let you know straight away if your estimated delivery time has changed. Some delays are out of our control but if this is the case, we will be sure to keep you informed.
Delivery
Q. Do you take away the old sofa/mattress/bed/furniture?
Unfortunately, at this time this is not a service we can legally provide. However, we work closely with a local business who will do this at a discounted rate for Solent Beds customers.
Q. What if my furniture does not fit?
No one wants the frustrating situation where the furniture you have ordered does not fit. But unfortunately, there are rare instances where items are too big for the room or will not fit through the front door. To prevent this from happening we would advise that you check that it will fit into your house and the room before placing your order. Please measure all doors, stairways, and the chosen space as carefully as possible.
Solent Beds cannot accept responsibility for furniture not fitting into your home. If the worst does happen and your order will not fit into your home, we can offer advice on what to do next. If this does happen or you are concerned about an order due to be delivered, please contact us as soon as possible on 01983 401070.
Q. Can I order online at Solent Beds and collect my order?
If you are happy your order will fit into your vehicle you are welcome to collect from our warehouse, however, please be aware lead times may apply. This service is available Monday to Friday. Weekends may be possible by prior arrangement.
It is worth bearing in mind that all orders over £100 qualify for Free Standard Delivery to all Isle of Wight addresses.
Q. Do we deliver to the mainland?
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer a delivery service to mainland addresses. However, on some smaller items we may be able to arrange a courier service. It is always worth checking with us whether we can deliver to the mainland as some of our suppliers will offer a direct home delivery service.
Q. What do we charge for delivery?
All orders over £100 qualify for Free Standard Delivery, this includes the item/s being delivered to a room of your choice. For orders under £100, there is a £10 deliver charge.
