- Our COMMITMENTS -
The BED REPUBLIC CARE program: 9 strong COMMITMENTS for your satisfaction.
Premium services designed to offer you comfort, quality and peace of mind.
Join us for a unique experience with BED REPUBLIC!
EUROPEAN CONFECTION
We manufacture our products exclusively in Europe.
It is a conscious choice, in order to guarantee quality, local employment, production and supply on demand, ecology...
But most importantly, we go where the passionate producers are:
Take for example bed linen, bath linen, 100% cotton; we have not found better than the ancestral know-how of Portugal for this, all luxury brands produce in the same workshops as those of BED REPUBLIC.
Why this choice?
A lot :
- faster
- more quality
- production on demand possible
- expertise
- reduced ecological impact
- a contribution to maintaining our local/European employment
But above all, the passion of the people who make our products.
In which European countries do you produce?
We manufacture in France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Poland
Does manufacturing locally necessarily cost more?
Not necessarily.
Of course, when we first approach the price, we will never be cheaper than a first price product distributed by mass retailers, and manufactured 12,000 km away in disastrous conditions...
But in the end, BED REPUBLIC will cost you even less: because you will gain on the quality and durability of your product.
As a French company, why don't you produce all your items in France?
That would be our greatest wish!
Unfortunately, we have to face the facts: producing everything in France is difficult, sometimes even impossible.
- Some jobs have disappeared
- Cost may be prohibitive for some products.
- Some industries no longer exist or are better controlled by other regions or countries.
(but we would love to have everything local but we remain realistic).
...
MANUFACTURE ON DEMAND
From the beginning of the BED REPUBLIC adventure (and that goes back a few years), we imposed this "offbeat" concept, in the era of 48-hour express delivery, where a pizza arrives faster than an ambulance...
We take the time to prepare your order, in order to make beautiful things.
We make our products to order (no upstream stock), as all luxury brands do.
You order, we produce.
Like a harvested fruit, we deliver (almost) only “freshly produced” products.
This is a conscious choice, in order to guarantee exceptional value for money.
On-demand production, what does that involve?
No stock.
No surplus production
No storage costs.
No sales or clearance.
A fresh product, made for you, tailor-made, at a controlled price, which will not be transported from warehouse to warehouse to be stored for months while waiting for promotions.
We make your order when you place an order, because it means there is a need on your part to own this item.
And even if we don't sell millions of products, that's all the same.
You just have to be patient: between 1-5 weeks, with an average delay observed of around 3 weeks.
How long can I expect delivery?
48h express delivery and quality often do not go together. If you want quality, freshness and price, you have to be a little patient.
This is how the luxury industry works: you place an order, then you receive it once it is made.
Between 1 to 5 weeks, depending on your order, your country and delivery area.
We are on an average lead time of around 2-3 weeks.
All this is indicated in your basket, before confirming your order.
ECOLOGICAL RESPONSIBILITY
We manufacture our products only in Europe, on demand: which means that we will only produce your order, not a stock of 10,000 pieces, which will wait for a hypothetical buyer...
By promoting local supply and a short transport circuit, we avoid the ecological disaster of producing on the other side of the planet.
Our customers are all over Europe, and we group our shipments as much as possible to reduce their ecological impact.
But that's not all: at BED REPUBLIC, we also innovate for the planet!
We design and market products with a definite ecological impact, such as our EXTRAORDINARY mattress protector: 100% recycled and recyclable cotton. A technological feat at the service of the environment.
How do you limit the ecological impact?
As far as possible, we try to limit our impact as much as possible.
Even if it is not that simple, it is above all our philosophy and our way of approaching the furniture/bedding/household linen sector that allows us to limit our impact on the environment.
All these small actions combined mean that we try to limit our footprint as much as possible:
- Manufacture less by producing only your order: this is a way of limiting overproduction and unsold items.
- Manufacture to last: consume less but better, no more disposable products!
- We are reducing our distances: manufacturing near you necessarily has an impact, both environmentally and socially.
- We try to limit the impact of our production as much as possible: 100% recycled cardboard without inks, transport consolidation to ship all orders in one go, natural materials when possible...
Small gestures, some assumed and which sometimes complicate our lives, but it is a real NEED to respect our environment.
60 NIGHT TRIAL
Need to test your BED REPUBLIC mattress? We have the solution.
We offer you 60 nights of trial to test your mattress or box spring or eligible product.
If it doesn't suit you, we promise to take it back - free of charge.
(not all products are affected - the list of products affected by the 60 night trial is indicated below).
What products does this 60-night trial offer apply to?
- BED REPUBLIC BRAND mattress - only BED REPUBLIC brand and badges.
- All the box springs present on the site.
- All beds present on the site.
- All the headboards present on the site.
What geographic area does the 60-night trial apply to?
Only in Metropolitan France, excluding Corsica.
For any recovery request outside of these areas, special pricing provided by the customer will be invoiced in the event of a request.
I don't like my new product, is this normal?
Yes and no.
The feeling of novelty, especially in an environment like sleep, can be annoying. Let's not jump to conclusions, wanting to return your product from the first night: if for example our mattresses are firmer than your old mattress, it's normal and it's "better" for your health, and this unfortunately, can only be verified over time...
The feeling of novelty can only be beneficial.
Where does my product go if it is taken back?
Your product, depending on its condition, is transferred to a specialist in the processing of this type of product, who will then:
- either give it a new life (reconditioning, sale, etc.),
- or transfer it to the waste recovery sector.
We work with the service provider SMARTBACK, a specialist in the recycling of furniture waste, and we are a member of the ECOMAISON eco-organization sector, a non-profit organization created in December 2011 for the collection and recycling of used furniture.
What are the conditions to be met?
The product
- Must be purchased on the website www.bedrepublic.eu - otherwise the commitment does not apply.
- Must not show any signs of improper use.
- Must be completely clean, without traces and without hygiene defects.
- must be packaged (with protection allowing adequate transport), and made available at the doorstep on the ground floor for collection by you.
What about other products?
You benefit from the legal right of withdrawal of 14 days to renovate the product(s) concerned at your own expense.
For hygiene reasons, returned products must not be used.
Please note that we cannot take back bed linen or bath linen for hygiene reasons if the products are unpacked.
REPLACING your OLD BEDDING
At BED REPUBLIC, you benefit from the old bedding collection service, guaranteed by the French recycling sector Ecomaison.
(offer valid only for customers in mainland France and subject to the conditions below).
Conditions to benefit from it?
If you purchase a product with similar characteristics on the website www.bedrepublic.eu, we can take back your old furniture or mattress.
The latter will be recycled or sold in the recovery sector.
A series of conditions are mandatory in order to be eligible for the recovery service.
- Having placed an order on our website www.leonis-literie.com
- Having ordered a similar item: you buy a 2-person mattress, we will take back a 2-person mattress...
- Having ordered a product with characteristics of dimensions greater than 30kg and with a development of at least 200cm. Below, specialized collection bins are at your disposal.
- Have sent your request for recovery within 48 hours after validation of your order.
- Provide us with all the requested documents and explanations.
- Have acceptance from our customer service for the recovery.
How to request a recovery?
When confirming your order (paid in full), contact our customer service at help@bedrepublic.fr.
It will be necessary to provide several elements in advance to confirm that your recovery is possible.
Which articles are affected?
- Similar item to your purchase: you buy a 2-person mattress, we will take back a 2-person mattress...
- Article with characteristics of dimensions greater than 30kg and with a development of at least 200cm.
Below, we invite you to deposit your products in specialized collection bins or at a recycling center.
The so-called “1 for 1” recovery?
It is giving a piece of furniture/product to our services, in exchange for a product with identical technical characteristics and dimensions/weight, with the aim of revaluing the product (recycling or reuse).
Is it obligatory to give away my old furniture or bedding when making a purchase?
Absolutely not!
And if you don't want to keep it, we recommend:
- Sell your item! There is always someone who will be interested...
- Give it: and it is a gesture for someone who will surely need it.
- Donate it to an association: And that's an even better gesture! Associations such as EMAUS come and collect furniture from you directly, provided it is in a state of reuse.
In which geographical area do you take back old furniture or bedding?
Only in Metropolitan France, excluding Corsica.
For any request for recovery outside of these areas, a special charge payable by the customer will be invoiced in the event of a request.
Can I recover a donated piece of furniture?
No, unfortunately.
The 1 for 1 takeover implies a definitive and irrevocable donation.
And this even in the event of a subsequent order cancellation...
How is my recovery going?
First of all, when confirming your order, you must:
1. once your order has been accepted, inform our customer service that you want a 1 for 1 return.
2. Provide by email to our customer service help@bedrepublic.fr the characteristics (nature, weight, dimensions, etc.) of the product to be returned + your order reference.
Please note that without this analysis previously validated by our customer service before delivery of your product, the return cannot be made.
Will my old product be returned on the same day as my delivery?
NO.
A specialized company will take care of this step, at least 15 days after receipt of your order.
We use the service provider SMART BACK, which has the logistics and skills to recover and recycle your old furniture or bedding.
Do I need to prepare my old furniture for removal?
Yes, otherwise we will not be able to carry out the recovery.
- empty all objects or additional items.
- Pack the product carefully, protect it, to facilitate transport.
- prepare the furniture or bedding at the doorstep, in front of your home for collection.
A product that does not meet these conditions will be refused, and your return benefit will be canceled.

Our delivery service is at the foot of your building or in front of your door.

- Purchase invoice

- Photos and videos of the product in condition.
- Reason for return (not mandatory but useful).
It goes without saying that a returned product must respect a minimum of cleanliness, without showing any damage.
All of this information will be analyzed to validate acceptance of the return.

I have a return to make, what address should I send it to?

I opened and installed my mattress, but I want to return it, what should I do?
Returns are the responsibility of BED REPUBLIC under the 60-night trial guarantee.
Returns are at your expense - outside/after the 60-night guarantee, but also for all products not eligible for the 60-night trial guarantee.
Beyond this period, we do not accept returns for hygiene reasons after this period.
If purchased through a reseller, the seller's terms and conditions apply, and we do not provide any reseller with the return conditions present on our BED REPUBLIC website.
By default, for all returns not guaranteed by the 60-night trial guarantee, the legal period of the right of withdrawal applies (14 days), the return costs of which are your responsibility.
I received my product, but I have a doubt about the size, should I open it?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
An open mattress is much more expensive to return!
Bed linen or bath linen are considered “used” and therefore cannot be recovered if they have been opened and used.
If in doubt, do not open, if necessary contact us (optional if necessary), and prefer to return it to our facilities in its original packaging, UNOPENED.
Do I need to take out transport insurance in the event of a return?
When returning an item at your expense, it is STRONGLY recommended, to avoid any carrier dispute, to insure your shipment for at least the value of your order. This will give you the assurance that a package that may hypothetically be lost, can be valued at its value.
Good to know: default insurance exists, governed by the transport code: in the event of loss, the default transport insurance reimburses approximately €6-10 per kilogram (given as an example, may vary depending on the type of shipment, goods and carrier, etc.).
I would like delivery to the room of my choice, is this possible?
YES,
By default, our delivery is to the door.
Premium delivery to the floor or room of your choice. This is optional and involves an additional cost for this service, which will be established by specific quote, after study of the case.
To do this, please contact our customer service help@bedrepublic.fr who will study your request.
