Warranty
It is generally accepted that all furniture sold in New Zealand to consumers must be guaranteed under the Consumer Guarantees Act. This covers against faulty workmanship and materials and also covers you if the product is not fit for the purpose it was intended. Fair wear and tear, evidence of mistreatment or items purchased for business use will not be covered under the Act. YNL furniture aims to satisfy our customers, a fair solution will hopefully be found depending on each claim.

Issues with firmness or comfort.
Please choose your mattress carefully. Once a mattress has been used, it cannot be returned and/or refunded for the reason of comfort
Mattresses will conform to your body and body impressions are likely to occur. This is expected and is not considered a defect with the mattress. Note there is a wear in period, where we suggest that you would normally need a month to get used to your new mattress. It may start to feel uncomfortable, especially as it gets to work to support your spine.
