What Is Costco’s Mattress Return Policy?

When compared to the policies of other mattress suppliers, Costco’s policy is actually quite impressive. Most mattress sellers will expect your package to still be in its original packaging, including your original receipt, for a return to be accepted. Some sellers might even limit the return window to a few weeks or months.

So, when it comes to Costco, they definitely have a pretty unbeatable return policy.

How Long Do You Have To Return A Mattress At Costco?

Technically, there is no time limit on how long you can wait to return a mattress to Costco. We’ve even heard of customers returning their mattresses successfully after 2 years.

What Is The Warranty Period For Costco Mattresses?

Costco does not offer a separate warranty for mattresses, because all of their mattresses are covered by their life-time, risk-free, 100% satisfaction guaranteed return policy.

Does Costco Accept Opened Mattresses?

One of the many great things about Costco’s generous return policy is that items, including mattresses, do not have to be in their original packaging in order to be returned. Mattresses can be opened, or even used, and still be accepted for a return. This extends to all mattress-related items as well, including mattress toppers and memory foam.
