Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a product I see on your site is in stock?
We try to keep our site as current as possible, so you can shop with confidence that items you're interested in on our site are available. Any item that is out of stock will be clearly indicated as such, and will be marked with an estimated date of availability. Sometimes, we experience heavier than expected demand and an item becomes unavailable before we are able to mark it as such. If an item you've ordered becomes unavailable, we will notify you. If you are concerned about availability on a specific item, call us at 800-338-6266 (please have your item number handy) or email us. When sending an email inquiry, be sure to include the item number, description, and the quantity you'd like to purchase.

Is shopping online at ShopBedding.com secure?
In a word, yes. We use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to ensure our site's security. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

We also have appropriate security measures in place in our physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you at ShopBedding.com. Regardless of the foregoing, due to the open nature of the internet, we do not guarantee the absence of theft, hacker activity, electronic or non-electronic tampering, or computer crime, and we disclaim responsibility and liability for stolen information, except to the extent of the following commitment we make to you.
However, Visa and MasterCard currently have a “Zero Liability Policy” in place, which protects all credit and debit card holders from responsibility for any charges due to fraudulent use. See their websites for further details.
