Toppers

Not happy with your topper? Here’s how to return it.

We recommend sleeping on your topper for a few weeks before deciding. You need some time to get used to it. Toppers come with a 100-day trial period, giving you plenty of time to adjust. Still not the right fit? We’ll take it back. You’ll be done in four steps. Here’s how.

How to return it in four steps

  1. Roll up your topper

    Roll the topper tightly from one short end and secure it with the corner elastics so it stays rolled up.

  2. Pack it

    Use the bag provided. You don’t need the box; you can throw it away.

    Lost the bag? A sturdy trash bag with duct tape around it works fine.

  3. Register your return

    Request your return through the correct returns portal (see the buttons below, based on your order date) and attach a photo of the packed topper. Our customer service team will review your request and confirm your return, including the correct return address.

  4. Send it back or have it collected

    Once your return is approved, we’ll send you instructions. We collect toppers 120 cm wide or wider from your home; this can be as soon as the next business day. If your topper is less than 120 cm wide, you’ll receive a return label and can take it to a post office.

Give your body a little time

Your body is used to your old mattress. A topper changes how your weight is distributed, and your back and shoulders need time to adjust. For a topper, that takes about four weeks.

The first few nights may feel different from what you expected, sometimes even a little firmer. That’s not a bad sign. If you’re still not comfortable after a few weeks, that’s completely fine; your 100-day trial period will continue as usual.

Still deciding? Measure your mattress first, not your bed frame. Your topper size should match your mattress size.

Large size? We’ll collect it

We collect all toppers 120 cm wide or wider from your home. That saves you the hassle of carrying it and making a trip to a drop-off point.

Once your return is approved, we’ll schedule a collection. We can collect it as soon as the next working day. You just need to be home and have the topper rolled up, packed, and ready.

If your topper is narrower than 120 cm, we’ll send you a return label and you can drop it off at a local post office.

What we check

A returned topper can’t get a second life if it isn’t clean. That’s why we ask you to make sure:

  • Always use a fitted sheet or topper protector with your topper
  • The topper must be free of stains, odors, damage, and pet hair
  • You must register your return within one hundred days of the delivery date

If the topper has clearly been used without protection or is damaged, we may refuse the return or deduct part of the purchase price. We always assess this fairly and based on the photos.

Arrived damaged or defective?

That’s different from “I don’t like it,” and we handle it differently too. Send a few photos of the problem and your order number to contact@gentletot.com. We’ll arrange for you to return the product free of charge and receive a replacement.

Every order comes with at least a 2-year manufacturer's warranty. The exact warranty period varies by topper and is listed on the product page. The manufacturer's warranty does not affect your statutory warranty rights.

Costs and refunds

Did you order your topper before 21 October 2026? Returns are free, including collection of larger sizes. Did you order from 21 October 2026 onward? We charge €14.95 in return costs per topper, even if we collect it from you.

Once we’ve received and inspected your topper, we’ll refund the purchase price (minus any return costs) to the same payment method you used. Please allow up to fourteen days after we receive it, though it’s usually faster.

What you send back is never resold as new. Returned toppers are donated or recycled. That’s why we also ask for the fitted sheet: it helps keep the topper suitable to give to someone else.

Frequently asked questions

How long do I have to return it?

You have 100 days from the delivery date to register your return - plenty of time to really get used to your new topper.

How much does it cost to return my mattress topper?

Did you order before October 21, 2026? Returns are free. Did you order on or after October 21, 2026? We charge €14.95 in return fees, including for pickup of larger sizes.

Which returns portal should I use?

Did you order before October 21, 2026? Use the old returns portal via the button in step 3 above. Did you order on or after October 21, 2026? Use the new returns portal (Returnista).

Do I need to keep the box?

No. You only need the included bag. You can throw away the box.

I threw away the bag. What now?

No problem. Roll the mattress topper up tightly, secure it with the corner elastics, and pack it in a sturdy trash bag sealed with duct tape. That’s enough.

My mattress topper no longer fits in the original packaging. Is that a problem?

No, that’s normal. A mattress topper is delivered vacuum-packed and will never return to that size. Roll it up as tightly as possible; that’s enough.

Will my mattress topper be collected?

For mattress toppers that are 120 cm wide or more, we’ll arrange a pickup appointment. This can be as soon as the next business day after your return is approved. Is your mattress topper less than 120 cm wide? Then you’ll receive a return label and can drop it off at a parcel drop-off point.

When will I get my money back?

Within a maximum of 14 days after we’ve received and inspected your mattress topper, using the same payment method.

Can I use the mattress topper during the trial period?

Yes, that’s what the trial period is for. Just always use it with a fitted sheet or mattress topper protector to keep it clean.

I ordered the wrong size

Contact customer service before unpacking and using the mattress topper. We’ll see if we can exchange it quickly.

I bought my mattress topper through bol.com or Amazon

In that case, your return is handled through the platform where you placed your order. Log in there and go to your orders to start the return. That’s the quickest way.
