VAT Relief on Adjustable Beds: Everything You Need to Know

VAT Relief on Adjustable Beds: Everything You Need to Know/h2>

If you or a loved one is living with a disability or long-term health condition, you may be eligible for VAT relief on certain electrically operated adjustable beds.

Under government guidelines, products that are designed or adapted to support those with disabilities can qualify for VAT exemption. This means you could save up to 20% on selected adjustable beds — offering significant financial support when investing in comfort, independence, and better sleep.


Who Can Claim VAT Relief?

VAT relief is available if the adjustable bed is:

  • For your own personal use, or for a loved one living in your home

  • Intended to support a long-term illness or disability

  • Used in a domestic (not commercial) setting

It’s important to note that temporary conditions (such as a short-term back injury or broken leg) wouldn’t usually qualify under the scheme.

If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, our team will always be happy to guide you.


Choosing the Right Adjustable Bed

The first step is finding the bed that best suits your needs.

We stock an extensive range of adjustable beds, many of which are available to try in-store across our showrooms in Sussex, Kent, and Surrey. This gives you the chance to explore different support levels, mattress types, and adjustment options before making a decision.

How to Claim VAT Relief

Once you’ve chosen your adjustable bed, claiming VAT exemption is straightforward.

You’ll need to complete a simple form confirming:

  • The nature of the disability or long-term condition

  • That the bed is for domestic use

In some cases, supporting evidence may be required (such as a doctor’s letter or proof of disability-related benefits).

Buying Online vs In-Store

  • Buying online: You’ll need to pay the full price initially, then submit the form to claim VAT relief.

  • Buying in-store: Our team can apply the VAT deduction directly at the till, so you pay the reduced price straight away.


Why Adjustable Beds Make a Real Difference

For those managing health conditions, an adjustable bed can offer far more than comfort.

With easy-to-use controls, these beds help you move from lying to sitting at the touch of a button — supporting independence, improving circulation, and making rest more comfortable.

Adjustable beds can also benefit carers, reducing the need for manual lifting and helping lower the risk of strain or injury.
