The IKEA return policy

We’ve detailed everything about our generous IKEA return policy on this page that apply regardless of how you made your purchase.

Too big? Too small? Too something else? If you’re not completely satisfied or simply just change your mind, you can return a new and unopened IKEA product within 365 days, with proof of purchase, for a full refund to the original method of payment.  No rush, no complicated conditions.

We think everyone should be able to test any product, so we take back opened products within 90 days – even assembled ones, as long as it’s in unused and re-saleable condition (at IKEA’s sole discretion) with proof of purchase. Mattress purchases may be exchanged one time or returned within 90 days under our Mattress Love it or Exchange it policy. Custom-cut fabrics and custom countertops are excluded.

Some conditions apply. IKEA reserves the right to refuse a return (or exchange) or offer a refund card only.  Government photo ID may be required.
